Michael Jackson's Auction (15 WTF Pieces)

Want to attend the most fabulously weird auction ever? Well now you can. The Guardian is reporting that in April, the world will be able to buy a piece of Michael. The extraordinary auction will have more than 2,000 items ranging from the wacky and weird to the, well, wacky and weird. Everything from furnishings from the Neverland ranch to his ultra gaudy Rolls Royce will be for sale. It'll be a four day public extravaganza held at the Beverly Hilton hotel.
