While Michael Jackson died a horrible death aggravated by ill health and controversies, he is still hounded by the media relentlessly. The blogosphere and the Internet are abounding with stories about how he led an extravagant lifestyle and how it should matter to the rest of them that he liked to live luxuriously.

Several prominent luxury blogs that we would not like to name have also spoken about the supposed luxuries and spoils he has in his Neverland Ranch, and also surprisingly, his Holmby Hills Estate which is very close to the Playboy Mansion and Beverly Hills. Apparently, he had stuffed the house with over the top audio systems and home theatre system from DSI Entertainment.  Crestron control system, Marantz electronics, M&K speakers and Lutron lighting control are some of the other luxuries he indulged in, if we must go by the way media goes.

Now, a musician of his stature deserves to spend a little more than the rest of us on home entertainment, shouldn’t he? Is it worth talking about the luxuries a dead celebrity enjoyed disregarde=ing the amount of pain he went through? Michael Jackson, RIP.

The concept of ‘Stars for a Cause’ is a rather cool one. For once, it not only includes known people supporting great causes but also encourage the streak of creativity within. Yes, jewelry designer and the brain behind the little endeavor, Robyn Rhodes has asked all the actively participating celebs to design their own jewelry which they will wear on the red carpet. This jewelry will be later sold in the auction.

The unique contribution was supported with a lot of zest and enthusiasm by the likes of Amy Adams, Steve Carell, Ricky Gervais, Goldie Hawn, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon among many other prominent names.

Oscar winner Kate Winslet too is a contributing. She has designed a gorgeous ‘Y’ shaped necklace (shown in the picture above) with purple red quartz drops with hand wired tops. The estimated price of this piece of jewelry is $1,000-$2,000. All proceeds go to Cardboard Citizens. The auction also includes signed posters, shoes and purses, each embellished with a celebrity ‘kiss’ and autograph.
