Since Michael Jackson lit himself on fire and threw himself off the Empire State Building (that is how he died, right?), there have been tons of weird rumors about things of his you can now buy. People have come forward saying they're selling parts of Michael, everything from the clothes he was wearing when he croaked to the pop-off nose on his face. Most of these are not true. This one actually is:

A Chicago company said on Friday it had obtained some of the hair Jackson burned while filming a 1984 Pepsi commercial and planned to create a limited edition of diamonds from it.

"Absolutely this is for real," said Dean VandenBiesen, founder of LifeGem, which has a patent on a process that extracts carbon from hair, turns it into crystals and then into high-quality laboratory diamonds.

VandenBiesen told Reuters he thought the company could make about 10 diamonds. No sale price has been set but VandenBiesen said LifeGem created three diamonds from locks of Beethoven's hair in 2007, and sold one of them for around $200,000. (Reuters)

I can just imagine a conversation after buying one of these:

"Here honey, a gift for you."
"Oh dear, you didn't!"
"I did. Now you can wear Michael Jackson's head around your finger."
"Darling, you're too good for me."
"I know, and wait till you see what I did with his penis that I bought for you."
"Oh, I'm the luckiest girl in all of California."

I wish someone would buy me Michael Jackson's penis.
