Attention celeb junkies everywhere, have we got a surprise for you! If you thought buying Tori Spelling's Gucci bag on eBay was something, just wait 'til you get a load of this.

Daily Candy just unveiled the celeb must-have that has tongues wagging:
"Behold FamousFlakes, a pop-up biotique offering beautifully packaged vials of your favorite celeb's skin and hair. Founder Charles Remarque acquires the goods through a vast network of hotel housekeepers, aestheticians, surgeons, and a few celebrities themselves. Microdot arrays confirm genetic authenticity (and everything comes with a certificate of proof)."
Sadly, this beyond idea is just an April Fool's Day spoof. Still, I can totally see someone trying to pull this off just in time for Christmas '08. Would you buy one? I might pony up for a vial of say, David Bowie's skin cells.

Sci-fi has been predicting this day to come. A great example was in the movie "Gattica" where dry cleaners boost "Your privacy guaranteed!" since a single flake of skin or nail clipping can be used to reveal your most private history.
Having said that, I'm buying any samples to be had of Mariah Carey's DNA. I think 5 or 6 of her washing my truck would help me pass the weekend!

The most bizarre article I read lately is that celebrities can take their deceased pets (cats or dogs), have them cremated, then take the carbon from their ashes and make diamonds out of them.
