Now bid for Bieber’s locks on eBay

LONDON - Teen singing sensation Justin Bieber, who recently got a haircut, has his locks being sold on internet auction site eBay for charity.

Contactmusic.com reports that his locks are listed on the internet auction site with the current top bid at $7,200. The sale is said to end March 2 and the unusual item has so far attracted interest from 61 users.

The locks are being sold by Ellen DeGeneres, who received some of his hair as a gift when Bieber appeared on her talk show this week.

As he handed the strands to the 53-year-old star, he said: “That’s my hair. I’m giving pieces of it to different people. We’re doing something special. We want you to donate it to whatever charity you want to.”

DeGeneres is donating all proceeds from the auction to animal rescue foundation The Gentle Barn.
