5. ARE YOU SERIOUS?? How do we even know this is Elvis's hair? The man has been gone for over 30 years now!! No DNA to compare it to... even if it was! And who would actually save his hair? The parlor who shaved his head... must knew that it would be worth money over 30 years later?? COME ON!! I guess somebody just has ALOT of money to burn! Hey I need a house... wanna' buy me one?? This individual must be a B.I.G fan of Elvis's! They can now say... "I have HIS hair in a box?" Too FrEaKy for me!! Have FuN with it...

11. Jon Gosselin bought it with his kid's money! LOL

Probably some one who swept it up off a salon floor, and oh look, Elvis hair, next will be MJ's hair...unbelievable what people will buy.

Seriously wonder though, can hair be drug tested decades later? Did they say on ebay if it was proven in DNA testing to be his?

Or did his daughter buy it?

13. OH where oh where did my little ballon go ohwhere oh where can it be?

Alderden said documents show that a media outlet has agreed to pay money to the Heenes with regard to the balloon incident. Alderden didn't name the media outlet but said it was a show that blurs "the line between entertainment and news."

'Michael's hair'?? It's already happened! Only the story is even STRANGER! The producer from the Pepsi commercial when MJ was burned, kept some of his hair that fell out onto the floor after they put out the fire(what a winner, huh?!) & saved it all these years(1986). This freak-producer had it made into diamonds(from the carbon in the hair strands) & sold it!! Opportunistic b@stard or what?!! True story. LOL!

15. 13....WOW, did not know that regarding MJ, thanks. INTERESTING and yeah, strange!

Make diamonds out of hair? I need to go pull a Britney and then torch mine! LOL
