We couldn’t resist attending Julien’s auction of Barbra Streisand’s latest collection of items she doesn’t want any more. Apparently she LOVES to shop and accumulates huge quantities of furniture, art objects and clothing. We’re not surprised by the vintage furniture and lamps and paintings, but the personal items that most people would just throw away were up for sale too. There were two lots of unglamorous old flat sandals and beat up bedroom slippers that probably pre-dated James Brolin. Her loyal fans spent nearly a thousand dollars for the worn footwear.

MICHAEL JACKSON IS UNLOADING HIS PECULIAR COLLECTIONS
Filed Under: Julien's Auctions > Kids > Michael Jackson > Neverland
The people at Juliens Auctions have a massive job sorting through the contents of Neverland in preparation for the auction of Michael Jackson’s possessions on April 21. Michael just walked away from Neverland and left everything behind him. The stuff is warehoused in a huge space somewhere in Los Angeles. We were most amused to hear that Jackson had an enormous collection of Lladro type porcelain figurines of rosy-cheeked children and MOUNTAINS of photographs of babies and children – none of them his own. He also collected large full color ads used in stores to sell products for babies and kids. The catalog is in five volumes and it’s bound to be a collector’s item.
