Michael Jackson's glove fetches $330,000 at auction

Items from the Michael Jackson’s stage wardrobe, including one of the King of Pop’s famous gloves, attracted furious bidding at an auction of celebrity memorabilia in Beverly Hills. Julien’s Auctions says a lone glove worn by Jackson during the "Bad" tour in the late 1980s sold for $330,000 at the "Icons & Idols" auction. A jacket signed by Jackson brought in $96,000 and a fedora he wore on stage went for $72,000 at the Julien’s Auctions event.

Other highlights from the auction were an x-ray of Albert Einstein’s brain, which brought $38,750, and a pair of Marilyn Monroe’s empty prescription bottles sold for $18,750. A military-style jacket worn by John Lennon for a 1966 Life Magazine photo shoot sold for $240,000. Julien’s Auctions says the two-day event brought in more than $3 million.

Michael Jackson announced Global Music Icon

Pop king Michael Jackson has been named the top global music icon of the past 50 years in a recent poll conducted by CNN.

"Almost 100,000 of you voted to tell us that the self-styled king of pop, who died suddenly in June 2009, is the musician you rate above all others," the news magazine said.

British pop group The Beatles, late Canto pop sensation Leslie Cheung, rock ‘n’ roller Elvis Presley and Reggae godfather Bob Marley also made to the top five.

No female artists made the list which had India’s Asha Bhosle in the long list of 20, although US pop queen Madonna came in at number six, narrowly missing a place.

Last month CNN’s arts and culture program, Icon, asked viewers to vote for their top five most iconic musicians of all time.

The list included Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Bob Marley, Celia Cruz, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Madonna, Arabic superstar Khaled and sufi legend Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, among others.

Lindsay Lohan dresses up like Jackson

Mean Girls’ star Lindsay Lohan paid tribute to late King of Pop Michael Jackson by posing and dressing up like him.

Lohan, 22, posted a picture of herself on her Twitter account on June 27, dressed in her undies while wearing a Jacksonesque hat pulled over her eyes.

The actress was spotted over the weekend, while out with off-again on-again girlfriend Samantha Ronson in Las Vegas, dressed in Jacko’s signature Sgt. Pepper’s jacket while Ronson wore an MJ T-shirt.
