LaLa Vazquez, former MTV and current VH1 host -- also known as Carmelo Anthony's fiance -- is putting her 2006 hot Pink Range Rover up for auction on ebay ... Bidding starts at 25K.

The auction house that was going to sell millions of dollars of property from Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch has filed legal papers, because it seems everyone on earth is claiming they own the goods.
Jerry Hawxhurst, the lawyer for Julien's Auction House filed the papers because there's an ongoing dispute between Jacko and his former manager, Dr. Tohme, as to who controls MJJ Productions -- the owner of the property Julien's currently holds. The property includes the titles to three Rolls Royce cars.
Julien's is getting caught in the crossfire and doesn't want to give it to anyone, for fear the others will sue the auction house claiming they owned the stuff. So Julien's is asking the court to take control of M.J.'s stuff and decide who gets what.
UPDATE: Dr. Tohme just contacted TMZ. He says he controls MJJ Productions, but says all the auction items are in Jacko's name. Tohme tells us he's not trying to claim any of MJ's property.
UPDATE: Dr. Tohme just contacted us again, to say that Michael is the one in charge of MJJ Productions, not him. Sounds like this is reason the papers were filed in the first place.

If you had your eye on the gloves from "Edward Scissorhands" or the actual gates of Neverland Ranch, we have some disappointing news for you -- the auction of Michael Jackson's crazy stuff ain't happening.
As part of a settlement between Jackson's production company and Julien's Auction House, Jackson gets to keep the nearly 2,000 items that were to be auctioned off beginning next week.
Terms of the settlement are confidential, but the attorney for the auction house tells us "everyone is happy."
The auction house had previously said they spent $2 million organizing the sale and it was guessing the items could have fetched $12 million.

Is it wrong to buy gigantic metal gates from a very creepy man? Apparently not, according to the one person who bid at least $10,000 to buy the gates from Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch via the singer's online auction.

Some of the items also up for grabs: A gigantic, five-foot tall statue of Geppetto holding Pinnochio, the claws from Edward Scissorhands and even an autographed basketball from Michael Jordan.
It's nice to know Jacko is still sticking to his guns by refusing to represent himself as a normal human being who doesn't own scary things.

It's just a little piece of stationary on which Elvis Presley sloppily wrote a poem about the unnecessary slaughter of a cute little birdie -- and it just sold for a whopping $20,035.20 at an auction.

If you think that's a lot, the jumpsuit he wore at Madison Square Garden went for $212,588.40 at the same gottahaverockandroll.com auction.

Maybe it was the gaudy #7 emblazoned in the downstairs carpet or a recent rerun of the horror flick "Pet Cemetery" -- but either way, the word "sold" wasn't muttered at Michael Vick's home auction today.

Although no dog fighting occurred on the property, only two potential purchasers showed up to Vick's 8 bedroom, 11 bath Duluth mansion -- and neither were able to put up a qualifying bid (including a $160,000 cashier's check), according to the AJC.
The house -- which is being auctioned as part of Vick's bankruptcy case -- won't sell for anything less than $3.2 million. For now.

Michael Jackson's Zoltar machine, weirdo bedazzled gloves and all of his creepy Peter Pan stuff is still expected to go on the auction block -- because the auction house behind the sale says Jacko signed off on all of it!

According to Darren Julien, the guy who runs Julien's Auction House, he was "shocked" when Jacko filed a lawsuit yesterday to get the stuff back.
In a statement to TMZ, Julien claims, "Contracts were signed which means whatever [Jacko] gives us can be put up for auction," adding, "we're not a storage facility, if they had not wanted certain items in the auction, why give them?"
Julien says he has returned certain items to Jackson, but only "out of courtesy." When asked what the returned items were, Julien told us he'd "rather not say."
As of now, the auction is still scheduled to go down in Beverly Hills in April.

For all the nonexistent people out there wanting a keepsake from the Danny Bonaduce/Jonny Fairplay fight at the Fox Reality Awards back in 2007... this is the moment you've long been waiting for.

Fairplay is getting rid of the jacket he was wearing when Danny Bonaduce de-toothed him -- by hawking it on eBay. Jonny's listing says: "It was my favorite hoodie but I look at it now of course with bad memories."
Why it took him 16 months to sell it, we don't know... but we're guessing rent is due.

In today's economy, buying a tax lien off of a small Long Island town doesn't sound like the shrewdest of investments. But if that's your thing, perhaps you'd like to purchase Dina Lohan's?

According to a public notice that ran today in the Merrick Life newspaper, unless DiLo forks over the $11,485.74 she owes Nassau County in taxes by tomorrow, the tax lien placed against her home will go up for auction next week. Should you choose to purchase the lien, you can collect 10% interest on one of the most famous mothers in Hollywood.
Usually, it's her collecting the 10% ... off her kids.

If Suge Knight crapped his pants when he found out he was broke, we might know about it because the dude's underwear went up for auction this weekend -- and somebody actually bought 'em!!!

Some boxer-briefs that may have been worn -- and may not have been washed -- by Suge Knight accounted for some of the random crap at the Death Row liquidation auction in Fullerton, CA yesterday. The starting price for the underwear was $5 -- but they only sold for a buck.
Also on the auction block: Some MTV Moon Men, an electric chair, neckties, socks, Snoop Dogg's Source Award and Vanilla Ice's dignity.
Though most of his stuff was on sale, Suge was a no-show.

There once was a family that spawned Brandon (Greasy) and Jason (Gummy) Davis. Their granddaddy, Marvin Davis, was supposedly filthy rich, to the tune of $5.8 billion. Then Marvin died and people started writing stories that it was all smoke and mirrors and Marvin was really broke. Now we've learned Marvin's daughter Nancy -- the mother of Greasy and Gummy -- is set to lose her home unless she forks up some serious cash -- STAT.

We've obtained legal docs that show Nancy's Bel Air home is $226,152.57 in arrears and the company that gave her the $8.5 million is getting ready to put the house on the auction block.
But the race is on. Nancy has listed her home for sale for a cool $19,975,000. Presumably, if she sells it she'll pay off the loan and pocket the balance. But the mortgage company tells us if they don't get paid by February 26, the house will go on the auction block.
Nancy Davis gave us this statement through a rep: "This is a paperwork glitch. The default will be cured and the house will not be sold through foreclosure."
