Have you ever wondered what happens to celebrity “junk” when they no longer want/need it?  Well, apparently we aren’t alone.

The Hollywood Reporter’s article, “Not Junk: A & E Orders ‘Garage Sale,’ talks about a new TV show in which the hostess helps celebrities throw Garage Sales for charity, using their own celebrity cast-offs.

The hostess says:

“I’ve always been a garage sale fanatic, but the fun of a celebrity garage sale is that their throwaways become someone else’s collectables — like an ‘Antiques Roadshow’ to the stars,” she said. “After all, it’s not just junk — it’s celebrity junk!”

I’d like to know what some of this stuff sells for–since the whole eBay chewing gum story, I’ve often wondered how celebrities grow gold-producing salivary glands.  How else could their spit on/in a piece of chewed gum make it worth so much more money?  Perhaps whoever bought Brittany Spears’ gum should get their money back.

Celebrity Junk at “Reality TV” Garage Sales

For the 7 oddball things…here goes:

1. I’ve worked at libraries, colleges, McDonald’s , and yard care (and one of these is a lie).
2. I am a graduate student in English.
3. I have eaten more than one grasshopper after boiling it, salting it, and throwing it into the oven for a bit.
4. I also convinced one other person to eat a grasshopper at around the same time, and in the same way, as #3.
5. I have the cutest daughter ever.  (Seriously.)
6. I have a junk drawer seems to expand to several bins and never seems to contract…
7. I like cheese.  No, really, it’s good stuff!

As for the 7 victims (pretend you can hear the vicious chuckling), here they are:

1. Heather @ A Creative Journal
2. Cyndi @ Jewelry and Beading
3. Cyndi @ Layers Upon Layers (I think I’m allowed to get you twice…?  Once for each great blog!)
4. Karen @ Thrifty Mommy
5. Anita @ Anita’s Arts
6. Sandra @ Globally Green Living
7. Karen @ Zazazu
