Bizarre Celebrity Merchandise

KISS Kasket
Death is no barrier for a true fan

Death is no barrier to proudly displaying your love of theatrical heavy rock band Kiss, who launched their own coffin - the Kiss Kasket - in 2001. 

The coffin, which could double up as a refrigerator to chill beer while the owner was still alive, showed the four Kiss members in full stage make-up and sold for $4,000. 



Danny Devito's Liqueur
Following his drunken appearance on TV

The Italian-American actor is now branching out into Italian lemon liqueur following a drunken appearance on US TV show The View late last year. 

"I knew it was the last seven limoncellos that was going to get me," he said at the time. Showing a true businessman's instinct for turning a PR disaster to his advantage, his own brand of his favourite tipple went on sale in the US on 2007, costing $23.99 for 750ml. 

Bill Wyman's metal detector
Former Rolling Stones' bassist, now on to other heavy metals


Bill Wyman is best-known for being the Rolling Stones' bassist from 1962-93. But since leaving the ageing rockers, he has developed an interest in a different set of relics. 

He is helping amateur archaeologists by bringing out a metal detector that he says is lightweight and easy to use but still delivers "serious treasure finding performance". 

Wyman boasts that he has uncovered a Roman homestead, the site of a Medieval lamb fair, 14th Century gold coins and blades dating back 3,000 years. 


Rock Rod: Warren Cuccurullo's Self-modeled Dildo
From Duran Duran to dildos

Good thing we didn't find pictures for this one. In July of 2001, Duran Duran's Guitarrist relaunched his fan club website, adding additional members-only sections that included sexually explicit material of himself having sexual relations, music downloads, a chat room, Q&A section, and message board. Despite his rapidly enlarging fanbase among gay males (and despite persistent rumors and requests), his adult material is all heterosexual in nature. Later that year, he created the "Rock Rod," a self-modeled dildo that sold through the manufacturer's website and in adult stores. In 2004, all adult material was removed from his website. Many clips of his porn work are regularly circulated on the web. 

Sir Cliff Richard's Wine
Cliff himself said it was "rubbish" in a blind tasting


One of the UK's best-selling pop stars entered the wine-making business after buying an estate in the Algarve, Portugal. 

The Adega do Cantor (Winery of the Singer) now produces the Vida Nova (New Life) wines and Sir Cliff can often be found "getting his feet dirty" in the winery, its website says. The wine has won mixed reviews - it has won some prizes but The Times declared it to have a "creosote-spiked finish" and Sir Cliff himself said it was "rubbish" in a blind tasting on Gordon Ramsay's TV show. Sir Cliff says Ramsay tricked him. 

Steven Seagal's Energy Drink



Barbra Streisand Dog thermal hoodie
So your dog doesn't go all Yentl on you this winter



Streisand fans can no keep their dogs warm. From the official site: "This thermal hoodie is decorated with the Barbra Streisand Crest and has hole in the neck for her leash, a pocket for caring biscuits and an adjustable closure to make sure she stays warm."

The 10 Most Bizarre Items Ever Auctioned Online

A Person’s Soul
In late 2007, an American man tried to sell his soul for $1 million dollars on the net. He said that the reason for selling his soul was to raise money for the Christmas season. He also said that the proud owner would be allowed to take the soul home in a glass jar along with a contract relinquishing ownership.
The following is a quote that the man had said about his soul,” I’m not really using it lately - and selling it on the internet is better than letting the Devil have it.” The soul never sold although it doesn’t appear to be still up for grabs. FYI: In the past somebody’s soul was successfully sold for $400.

A Serial Killer’s Fingernails

One of the weirdest things ever sold was a serial killer’s cut fingernails. In 1979, two men named Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris rode through southern California on a killing spree that resulted in at least five victims.
Years later Roy Norris, the man in the mug shot above had his fingernail shavings that had been taped to the back of a Christmas card sold on the net. His fingernails only sold for $9.99 but still stand as one of the scariest and weirdest things ever sold on the internet.


A Liver

Another crazy item that was put up for sale on the net was someone’s liver, which is the body part in the picture above. A guy from Florida tried to sell part of his liver for a possible organ transplant. The price for his liver reached $5.7 million dollars before being eventually pulled from the website it was being sold on. It was removed because it is illegal to sell body parts over the internet


Haunted Rubber Ducky


Another very odd item sold on the internet was a haunted rubber ducky. In 2004, a man sold a so-called haunted rubber ducky, resembling the one above. He said his one and a half year old son had been telling weird and scary stories about fights that he and the duck had had. Also he said that his child had been bitten by the duck, making the child mean and vicious, and causing him to throw the duck across the room. After only 7 days on the site the rubber duck sold for the price of $107.50.


Jesus Toast

The seller of the product in the picture above had accidentally burnt his toast in a toaster. Before throwing the piece of toast away, he suddenly noticed the face of Jesus on his toast as if by some type of miracle. He put the odd piece of toast up for auction with the starting bid of $.99, although this piece of toast never ended up selling.


Justin Timberlake s French Toast

In March 2000, a leftover piece of French toast, half-eaten Justin Timberlake of N*SYNC was sold on a website. The entire group of N*SYNC was on the Z-Morning Zoo, some sort of TV show, on March 9th. On the show, Justin only ate one bite of his French toast! The seller said that the buyer would get Justin’s half-eaten French toast, the fork he used, and the plate…complete with extra syrup! After a total of 40 bids and not even two days on the internet, the French toast was sold for a total of $3,154 dollars.

Rights to Name a Woman s Baby



In April 2005, a 33 year old woman named Melissa Heuschkel auctioned the rights to name her baby on the internet. After not being able to decide what to name her fourth child, Melissa decided to turn to an online bidding site. The rights for naming her child sold for a whopping $15,100 dollars. The online casino site named GoldenPalace.com bought the right of naming her baby. The casino website decided to name the child GoldenPalace.com. The image above is a picture of newly born GoldenPalace.com. Melissa said that the money received would go towards caring needs and toys for the new born baby.


Imaginary Friend

Another odd thing sold on the net was a guy’s imaginary friend named Jon Malipieman. The image above is a picture of this imaginary friend Jon Malipieman, and as you can see he is imaginary. The man that sold Jon lived in the UK and said that he was selling Jon because he felt like he had grown out of him.
In the listings for the product the seller stated the following: “My imaginary friend Jon Malipieman is getting too old for me now. I am now 27 and I feel I am growing out of him. He is very friendly. Along with him, I will send you what he likes and dislikes along with his favorite things to do and his personal self portrait.” His self portrait is the picture you see above. Amazingly Jon Malipieman got 31 bids and ended up selling for over $3,000 dollars. Now that is Wacky.


Ghost Cane

In 2004 a so called Ghost Cane was sold on a bidding site. A woman in Indiana her dead husband’s metal walking cane up for sale in hopes that her scared grandson would think that his grandfather’s spirit would leave their house when the cane was sold.
The image seen above is actually a picture of the dead grandfather who is to the left, along with the scared grandson who is in the ladies arms. Her six year old grandson son thought that the grandfathers’ spirit was haunting their home, causing him to be scared of everything. The cane received over 132 bids and sold for the price of $65,000 dollars. The buyers of the cane actually ended up being GoldenPalace.com.


Giant Cheetoh


In 2003 the worlds largest Cheetoh was put up for sale. The Cheetoh weighed more then a half an ounce and was as big as a kiwi. The image above is a picture of the giant Cheetoh and as you can see it is huge. The man who discovered the Cheetoh was Mike Evans. Before the Cheetoh could be sold it was taken off line and donated to a small town as a tourist attraction. Before being taken offline, the Cheetoh had received bids of up to $180 dollars and still had days left in the auction.
