    The fact that someone would try and sell something like this is depressing. The fact that there have been 17 bids is just disturbing!

    There's no accounting for peoples obsessions but it is quite sick.

    If I got over a grand for it I'd try and sell it.

    You make an interesting point...

    I may have to rethink my position on that one but I still think the people trying to buy it are freaks.

    Very disturbing how anyone would want that. Unless it's a pop hating voodoo guru. Maybe they want it to stick pins into.

    in a little twist to this story....


    Britney's spat-out gum up for sale

    An internet auction site was forced to withdraw a lump of Britney Spears' chewing gum following boasts it contained her DNA.

    Bids for the star's discarded gum had reached £280 when the eBay site realised the sale contravened its Human Body Parts and Remains policy, claims the Daily Mirror.

    EBay told the paper: "The main selling point was the DNA which is not allowed."

    The seller had to withdraw the gum briefly and amend the wording of the advert to remove reference to the star's DNA.

    The revised description reads: "I am now allowed to list this item with a few alterations to my wording... this is the original gum that Britney spat out."

    It adds: "It has not been touched since it was in Britney's mouth. It is completely preserved. This is a chance to own a piece of pop history,,, right from the mouth of the pop princess herself."

    Imagine, if you could get accelerated cloning, you could have your own Britney by this time next year!

    LOL, reminds me of when Ali G asks an anti-cloning guy if he'd change his stance if he could have a clone of Carmen Electra :-)

    Celebrity is the new religion. How many post-menopausal women do you know that would follow around the country, while chanting, an open topped bus contained spearmint spat out by Jesus and encased in a suitably ornate gilded vessel. There would be queues to touch it.

    Our Britney, who art in Hollywood, hallowed be your dried saliva.
