A prototype of ET’s head and a bullet-proof vest are two of the 1,100 items up for grabs at the Hard Rock’s auction of the Michael Jackson collection, which begins today in Las Vegas and is expected to fetch $100 million. There had been some to-do earlier about Jackson getting a restraining order to prevent some of his more unsavory stuff going on the block, but it was established that Jackson had no legal right to it, and that its fate was in the hands of new owner, Universal Express CEO Richard Altomare. Altomare, however, might by now have returned Gloveboy’s sex toys and photos of nude children. “This is stuff we have kept from the auction out of respect to Mr Jackson,” he said after being slapped with the restraining order. “The guy has troubles. We all have skeletons in the closet and, if Michael hadn’t put up a fuss, I might have quietly, discreetly, just given it to him. I’m a Brooklyn kid and a gentleman…. But if he pisses me off, I may end up auctioning them.” (AHN; photos Getty via BBC)
