An Auction on Ebay is said to selling water, that is allegedly from Tom Criuse‘s swimming pool,

The auction description reads;

‘There is a very limited supply of this special water. The  winning bidder will receive a 5×7 print of Tom swimming in the pool with Katie  Holmes by his side as a certificate of authenticity.

‘The bottle is hand painted and shows a cross to mimic the effect of a bottle of Holy Water. But this cross also bears four gold rays coming from behind, which can also be considered the symbol of Scientology.

‘Tom Cruise water can be used in rituals, potions, or perfumes. It can be  dabbed behind the ears or on the wrists for good luck. You can place some of it  around the hearth of your home  baptize your baby with it. The possibilities are endless.

‘Happy bidding!’

At last count, six people had bid.

The 110ml glass bottle was collected by a fan from a pool in Miami Beach,  Florida, on July 16 last summer.

So how far would you go to get a pice of celebrity culture, even if it is just water from their pool ? we all hear of celebrities auctioning off outfits or memorabilia for charitable causes, and the amount that has been spent is sometimes outrageous, but in the past some of the strangest things have been auctioned.  John Lennon’s TOOTH was auctioned off in November 2011 and went for a reported $30,000, but what is the buyer going to do with John Lennon’s, tooth ? and is it really worth that kind of money?

I guess some fans would go to great lengths to have a personal memento of their favorite star, but is it a step too far to purchase Scarlett Johansson used tissue? (in which she blew her nose) – which was sold for $2,075  to raise money for a good cause, or to be the proud owner of  Justin Bieber’s bangs, or left over breakfast?.

The Final straw in taking it too far must definitely be, the news that the ‘Death Bed’ of Michael Jackson – The King Of Pop –  will be auctioned off not to far in the distant future, how we ask ourselves can this item make anyone feel closer to the singer, or in any way moral?

we can all smile at the weird and wonderful array of items that have sold in the past, and see the passion in the people who buy them, but is a mans Death Bed, something that should be used to make a profit? and lets ask….who would actually buy it ?

Big Brother UK saw its first round of nominations this week, and it has been revealed that there are two house mates up for eviction, west end star Andrew Stone, and Lengerie model Georgia Salpa.

We all got to know Andrew stone during his stint on the Sky1 tv show Pineapple Studios, but what do we know about the Greek Irish beauty that is Georgia Salpa?

 Georgia was born in the greek capital Athens, in 1985, but moved to Ireland with her parents in 1989 aged just four years old, and was raised in Killiney near Dublin.  in her teenage years, she worked hard to become a model, and did some rather unglamorous promotional work, a far cry from the magazine shoots she is known for today.  After various modelling assignments in many publications including FHM, she became one of the first FHM HOT 100. She then went on to do many TV appearances on Irish programmes The Podge and The Rodge show, Republic of Telly, Celebrity Salon and Catwalk to Kilimanjaro.  Salpa has now moved to the UK,   she dated Football legend George Best’s son, Calum Best for a while, but the pair split in 2011.  Georgia is famed for her stunning looks, bearing similarities to american-Armenian reality tv star Kim Kardashian, and her natural 32E boobs, which she claims are a family heirloom.

Georgia, Andrew and the rest of the house mates,  will find out who will be the first celebrity to be evicted from the Big Brother house on Friday, the public will be voting all week.

Giuliana Rancic was at home yesterday, just three days after her double mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery.

Rancic, was diagnosed with breast cancer last month, after a routine mammogram, checking for any abnormalilties, before she was to undergo her second try at IVFt reatment, in a bid to fall pregnant, together with her husband Bill.

The thought of babies has been put on hold, while she had been receiving treatment for her cancer, which unfortunately did not completely remove all of the cancer. Giuliana made the decision to have a double mastectomy, was said to be a very difficult decision, but the right decision for her.

Guliana told E! network, where she is a celebrity news reporter, and anchor, for the show E!News  “i am feeling good, and i am happy to be home, I’m healthy and surgery was a success. It’s been tough, but I’m trying to stay strong and manage the pain. I have to say I have a newfound respect for women who have been through breast cancer and this surgery,”

We at Sataloma News are overjoyed to hear that the surgery was a success, and wish Giuliana a speedy, recovery.

Famed as much for his obscurity and anonymity as he is for his artwork, you have got to admit, Banksy is one of this generations most influential artists. His name  is recognised by our youth as much as our older generation, and Lets face it, most teenagers would not have heard of  René Magritte or Merello but they are likely to have heard of this risk taking street artist.

Outside art pieces from the graffiti artist have been appearing since the eighties and he is still going strong, yet we still seem to know very little about the artist himself, and that is just how Banksy seems to like it, Google his name, you will see pictures upon pictures of his artwork, but his face is not one that appears often in the image results. This is one of the very few pictures of him floating around the internet.

Banksy

According to author Tristan Marco , and his book Home Sweet Home, Banksy was born in 1974,  grew up in Bristol and trained as a butcher, but got involved in graffiti in the late 80’s.  How much of this is true we really do not know, as he keeps it all cloe to hs chest, he claims on his website that he neither uses Facebook or Twitter. What we do know, is that most, if not all of his outside artwork leaves a strong message to the government that he adamantly disagrees with their stance, that graffiti is vandalism as opposed to art.

His distinctive style, uses spray paint, large rollers and stencils, he displays his work on public surfaces, even going as far as to build his own walls and prop pieces to display it.

His Official website  has a questions and answers page and here is how he has answered a few of those questions.

 

Is it cheating to use stencils?
Stencils are good for two reasons;
One – they’re quick ; two – they annoy idiots.

Why are you such a sell out?
I wish I had a pound for every time someone asked me that.

Is Banksy just a big brand these days? Do you even paint your own pictures?
It’s not supposed to be a brand, which is why people in advertising think it’s such a good one. I paint it all myself unless its illegal, in which case I’ve never seen any of it before, your honour.

Whatever the truths or myths surrounding this man, he has undoubtedly, left his mark on this world, as one of the most innivative artists of his time, and i am sure he will be addorning our treets with more of the same for years to come.
