You’ve already waited decades to see The Seven Year Bang. So you won’t mind holding out for a few more years. Former bodyguard and memorabilia collector William Castleberry claims he owns the only existing copy of a tape showing Marilyn Monroe having sex with John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy, but he hasn’t shown it to anyone out of respect for his good friend, Joe DiMaggio. Recently, however, his ownership of the tape went into question, and it was going to be sold at an auction. Yeah, about that:
The Tulare County Sheriff’s Department tells us the auction, which was scheduled to go down tomorrow … has been canceled because William Castleberry — the owner of the 8mm film — settled his $200,000 debt.
Castleberrry owed the $200k for a previous court judgement against him — and deputies had seiezed the film, along with several other items, to cover the debt. Castleberry’s attorneys tell us they have no idea who made the payment — all they know is Casteleberry’s stuff will be returned. (Via)
Hm, that’s awfully convenient. Either way, can I interest anyone in footage of Brett Gardner participating in a ménage à trois with Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan? I’ll pay you five bucks to take it.
