Justin Bieber's hair sells for $40,668 on EBay
If Justin Bieber cutting off his hair meant the end was near, then the fact that those sheared-off locks just sold for $40,668 on EBay must mean the end is actually here.
That's a big chunk of change for some strands of celebrity hair. But hey, shipping was free.
Last week, the day after the "Never Say Never 3D" star trimmed his tresses, he put them in a signed box for Ellen DeGeneres to sell at auction, with the proceeds to be donated to the Gentle Barn, an animal rescue foundation operating out of Santa Clarita.
The lucky bidder also gets to meet the 17-year-old the next time he appears on DeGeneres' show.
No word on who won -- the winning bidder used a new EBay account identified only as "a***0" -- but watch out, Selena Gomez.

I was happily surprised by this story! First of all, I like this haircut a lot better than the last one. And Justin has got such a big heart to allow the hair to be sold and profits used to help animals....it's so amazing and so thoughtful. I'm no kid, but he has definitely made a fan out of me for this!

sad that he stooped to trashy mannerisms as to flip off someone.
and that username a***o is just a false seller name that ebay uses for EVERYONE in various formations so that you don't know who bought an item or is bidding on an item until they post feedback about the item (if they wish). I understand not many would understand that, so I thought I'd speak up.
