Marilyn Monroe's bathrobe sells for $120,000

An auction in Las Vegas has netted $120,000 for a short terry bathrobe, purportedly the last piece of clothing Marilyn Monroe wore before her death. I find that infinitely more creepy than the $63,000 somebody paid in the same auction for a costume jewelry necklace she once wore.

This is the auction where Elvis's prescription pill bottles went on the block. And, a day after Michael Jackson died, a signed "Jackson 5" album, originally priced at about $600 went for an unexpectedly high $33,000.
