Bids for Beatrice's headpiece pass $120,000

There were 38 vying for royal wedding Philip Treacy sensation on eBay on Saturday

Bids for Beatrice's headpiece pass $120,000. Auction site eBay says a bidder has offered 75,000 pounds ($120,000) for the spiraling headpiece worn by Princess Beatrice to last month's royal wedding.
The 22-year-old granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II startled commentators with the swirling hat she wore to the wedding of her cousin Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The silk Philip Treacy creation has been compared to antlers, a toilet seat and a pretzel, and has been photoshopped into scores of unlikely scenarios on the Internet.

Beatrice has taken the joke in stride and put the hat on sale for charity. Proceeds will go to UNICEF and Children in Crisis.

On Saturday 38 bidders were competing for the hat, described on eBay as a "unique sculptural celebratory headpiece."

Justin Bieber's hair sells for US$41,000

A lock of Justin Bieber's freshly trimmed hair has sold for a whopping US$40,668 in an eBay auction.

Justin sent Beliebers into hysteria last month when he announced plans to auction a slice of his signature Bieber-bowl.

After trimming his world-famous locks last week, Justin surprised talk show host Ellen DeGeneres with her very own piece in a signed box, which she promptly put up for auction on eBay.

The precious lock received bids of US$10,000 within one hour, with the winning bidder yesterday offering US$40,668 for the hair plus their chance to meet the 17-year-old superstar!

Ellen donated the winning bid to animal charity, the Gentle Barn Foundation.

The new owner of Justin's locks is yet to be revealed, but no doubt there's one less lonely girl in the world.
