Jackson’s deathbed up for auction
Late pop legend Michael Jackson’s deathbed will be auctioned next month.
The king-size bed where the late singer took his final breath is one of the items up for auction from his rented Los Angeles home, located in the city’s Beverly Hills area where Michael had lived since 2008.
The auction will happen December 17 in Los Angeles. The 50-year-old died June 25, 2009 when he was preparing for his comeback series of 50 sold-out London concerts.
The auctions will also sell various artworks, antiques and furnishings from the house. “We want to preserve the history of these items,” dailymail.co.uk quoted Darren Julien, president of Julien’s Auctions, as saying.

Eddie quits as Oscar host
Actor Eddie Murphy, who was set to host the 84th Oscar awards ceremony at the Kodak Theatre in Beverly Hills Feb 26 next year, has stepped down as the host.
Murphy departed in support of Brett Ratner, his Tower Heist director, who resigned from the post of co-producer of the Oscars, reports contactmusic.com.
Ratner resigned recently over a homophobic slur he used during a question-and-answer session with fans on Nov 4 and his friend Murphy stepped down as host.
