Is Rosie Right?

Those are repeats The Price is Right is running now that Bob Barker's gone and CBS can't find a new host it likes. But the network has another candidate to interview this week: Rosie O'Donnell. She says on her blog that she has an interview scheduled for this week, and asked if she'd take the gig, the Huffington Post blog reports that O'Donnell writes: "if they asked me I sure would." Barker would be all for it. "She knows the show, " he said at Friday's Daytime Emmy Awards, according to People. "There's no doubt in my mind she could do the show."

Nothing to sneeze at

We're all for celebrity memorabilia, but this goes a bit too far. A bottle of Elvis Presley's prescription antihistamines sold at auction last week for the kingly sum of $2, 600. L.A. County police put the kibosh on the fun part of the sale by saying auction house Julien's couldn't sell the bottle with the remaining pills still in it, though, celebrity news Web site TMZ.com reports. Other junk sold at the auction included a $28, 000 gold-plated pistol from Presley, Alfred Hitchcock's $19, 000 passport and Marilyn Monroe's $42, 000 prop umbrella, which gets to live out its days at Museum of Style Icons in County Kildare, Ireland, the site says.
