The speech that Obama delivered at the 2008 Democratic National Convention is going to the auction block.
The historical speech solidified Obama's acceptance of nomination for President of the United States. Bidding starts at $100,000 for the printed speech that’s held together in a three-ring binder. Then-Sen. Obama (D-Ill.) had the paper version of his speech, in which he accepted the nomination for president “with profound gratitude and great humility,” at the podium in case of any teleprompter snafus.
The speech was picked up by a maintenance worker tasked with dismantling the stage. The worker initially took the speech to secret service to turn it in, but was told he was fine to keep it.
Goldin says the 54-page document is “so historically important,” that he sees it being housed in either the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture or at Obama’s future presidential library in Chicago. Experts say the speech could go for as much as $1,000,000.
Bidding begins today.

Brad Pitt looked especially thin when spotted this week in Los Angeles. In recent months the 53-year-old has been locking himself away in a Los Angeles art studio while nursing a broken heart. But it doesn't seem like he's doing much else, including having a sandwich. I hope it's for a role.
Speaking of Pitt roles, the trailer for his upcoming Netflix movie, War Machine, has been released.
In the movie, Brad Pitt plays a general who is given the task of commanding NATO forces in Afghanis...

According to the faintly accurate people over at In Touch magazine, HGTV is ending one of their most successful shows ever after a somewhat scandalous divorce tore the show apart.
I have a few friends that claim they can't watch it anymore, either because the dynamic is ruined or they hate Tarek now because of very quiet rumors he's abusive to Christina. And yet some people say now they can't get enough! Either way, this is just a report and HGTV isn't commenting.
