MARLON BRANDO MAKES AN OFFER HERITAGE AUCTION GALLERY REFUSES

Heritage planned to sell locks of Brando’s hair in an online auction today, but the gallery called it off. The hair might not be Brando’s. The seller says he/she got the hair from Brando’s personal assistant, but the personal assistant says she never pulled any strands from Brando’s comb. She’s above that sort of desperate profiteering. (The hair might have sold for $250.) HAG says it did “the only ethical thing” it could by pulling it from bidding. BTW, who would buy this? The same people who’d pay $100 million for a gas grill, that’s who.

We live in a strange world.
