Cher vende Adelaide
Le autorità di Adelaide, Australia, si dichiarano molto deluse che la 65-enne attrice e cantante americana Cher, premio Oscar che ha venduto oltre cento milioni di copie ma evidentemente si trova in difficoltà finanziarie, insieme a suoi abiti e scarpe abbia messo all'asta su eBay la chiave della città che le era stata data come onorificenza nel 1990. L'asta della chiave ha finora raggiunto l'offerta di 81.100 dollari

Anger as 'Cher' tries to sell Adelaide key on eBay.





Officials in Adelaide have voiced their disappointment at revelations that US singer Cher had apparently put her key to the city up for sale on internet auction house eBay. The key and accompanying memorial plaque was being sold online by a user called Authentic_Cher who claims to be the musician's "personal consignor" selling her personal effects. It had attracted a top ask of US$81,100 by Monday morning, with less than two days of bidding to go. But the move offended officials in the city of some 1.2 million people, with Adelaide mayor Stephen Yarwood saying he was "exceptionally disappointed. It must be very embarrassing for her if she is selling it because she needs the money," Yarwood told the city's Adelaide Advertiser newspaper. The man who presented Cher the key, former mayor Steve Condous, said the award had been in recognition of her performance at the 1990 Formula One Grand Prix and the fact that she "added a lot of charisma" to the event [...] Used shoes and clothing reportedly belonging to the star were also being auctioned, along with a "personally owned photograph" of Cher greeting Queen Elizabeth II. Cher, 65, earned both Oscar and Grammy glory in a career which saw her sell more than 100 million records... Afp / Sydney morning herald
