Paris Hilton’s floss sold for $1000

By 4 Comments

floss.jpg If you think the idea of buying Paris Hilton’s piece of floss smudged with pink lipstick is simply stupid, why not ask Richard Rowe, CEO of online casino GoldenPalace.com.

According to HollywoodStarTrash.com, sellers of the floss, the trash founded outside Paris Hilton’s Hollywood home was put up for auction and it was snatched up for $1000 by GoldenPalace. This is the same company that purchased interesting items such as William Shatner’s kidney stone and Britney Spears’ pregnancy test, to name a few.

Next in line are John Travolta’s 12 empty packets of very expensive beef and a fork in a collectible box. Rowe hinted there was interest in this trash

“We’re all fans of Travolta, and who knows, if there is some beef in the packets, we could eat it and then use Paris Hilton’s thousand dollar floss,” said Rowe.

It also announces deals with additional digital firms including an advertising alliance with Opt-Intelligence and will expand its mobile reach via a strategic “mobile store front” with Thumbplay.
