Banksy painted Volvo truck to be auctioned

[gallery ids="180605,180606"] By now you're all pretty familiar with the elusive artist "Banksy".  He's the cheeky graffiti artist turned superstar who's "Girl with balloon" painting sold for $1.37 at Sotheby's last year, only to self destruct by shredding while the gavel was still warm. So what's that bugger up to now? Well, of course none of us know. The allure of Banksy is that he's unknown to most of us.  Although one person who knows the artists secret identity is Mojo. The cofounder of Turbozone Intl Circus. Back in 2000 Banksy was at a millennium party when Mojo asked him to paint the companies touring van.  After that it toured with the circus for a while. It's a far earlier piece of work than usually offered by the artist and that makes it extra special. Of course whoever buys it will have to have a place to store the monster vehicle. According to Bonhams, where the item will be auctioned on September 14th; "The over-riding message is one of anarchy: 'It's us against them and we're going to win'. The cumulative result is a resounding statement, both a direct call to arms against the establishment and the transformation of a mundane service vehicle into extraordinary work of art.". Ok, so cutting to the chase. Estimates? Anywhere from $1 - $2,000,000!  Get out your pocketbooks! />[gallery ids="180605,180606"] By now you're all pretty familiar with the elusive artist "Banksy".  He's the cheeky graffiti artist turned superstar who's "Girl with balloon" painting sold for $1.37 at Sotheby's last year, only to self destruct by shredding while the gavel was still warm.

Sasha Obama labeled the ultimate Rush Crush

Familiar with a Rush Crush?  It's a sorority term for a coveted recruit  and at University of Michigan, the number one rush crush on campus is former first daughter, Sasha Obama. It certainly makes sense. What could elevate the status of a sorority and it's sisters like having American royalty in house.  And according to the TMZ hounds, Alpha Chi Omega (AXO) is the front-runner for a good reason. Seems when she visited the school earlier this year, Sasha stayed at the sorority because a ...

Brando on Michael Jackson’s sex life; transcripts released

So way back in 1994 Michael Jackson was being heavily investigated for child molestation claims and Marlon Brando went to prosecutors to tell them of a conversation he had with the King of Pop about his childhood, his sexual orientation and a number of other things. When the case went to trial, rather than put him before the grand jury, Lauren Weis and Bill Hodgman, the prosecutors presiding over the case, requested Marlon speak through a telephone call and detail everything discussed betwee...

Shark Tank star sells home at a loss

They're supposed to be the kings of business, but maybe real estate isn't their forte.

Robert Herjavec, the Shark Tank star who comes from immigrants and made bizzilians, just sold his Hollywood hills home at a serious lose.  To the tune of over $200,000.

So he sold this amazing 4,500 square ft, 5 beds, 6 bath house for $6.495 million. Which is significantly less than the $6.7 million he paid for it in 2017.  If you can't make money in LA real estate, real estate ain't your game.  But it's a cool place!

Justin Bieber wears “Not Shane” jersey for his new bromance

For the last couple weekends Cleveland Indians pitcher Shane Bieber had a little fun at the expense of himself by wearing a team jersey with "Not Justin" sewn on the back.  A cute reference to the deluge of misunderstandings he's likely grown up with sharing the same last name as a pop star. Now it seems like Justin is in the game too.  On Tuesday he was out doing motorcycle tricks (asshole) while wearing his very own "Not Shane Bieber" version of the Indians jersey.  I have to admit that's c...

Zooey Deschanel sells Manhattan Beach pad

Zooey Deschanel and her husband of 4 years, indie film producer Jacob Pechenik, have sold their Cape Cod inspired residence in affluent Manhattan Beach, Calif., for $4.7 million. The charming home isn't necessarily what you'd expect from the queen of quirky. It's cozy and family like, which I guess works since she has 2 kids now. Details show the place is 5,300 square feet, 6 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms and balconies all over the damn place.

The word was she was ready to pursue film and tv projects.  Now right out of the gate, we know one big project already in the making. According to a report last night on Deadline.com, Leslie is set to host a reboot of "Supermarket Sweep".
