Want to own cool stuff sold by celebs? Last we looked, none were holding yard sales, and the likelihood of finding Leo DiCaprio's name in a classified is, well, zilch. Now you can go straight to the sites of America's leading pop-cult luminaries and pick up a terrific trinket.
BEN AFFLECK
Ben Affleck's (www.store.yahoo. com/centralsquare) the only star
hawking autographed scripts ($19.99 for Good Will Hunting).
KELSEY GRAMMER
kelseylive.studiostore.com
TV's Frasier has a load of signed
pics for sale. But he's also cornered the market on Cheers collectibles, from shot glasses to Sam & Woody's bar
pack — including Bloody Mary mix.
EMINEM
eminemdirect.com
The wildest thing for sale here? Dogtags (not
even dawgtags!) for $9.99. Where are the vitriol-spewing Slim
Shady action figures?
BRITNEY SPEARS
Innocent or no, Britney Spears (www.britneyspears.com) proves
she's a girly-girl here. You'll discover Britney combs etched
with her autograph and logo-ridden handbags galore. But the
coolest kitsch is a porcelain doll ($149.95), which is eerily
lifelike.
CHRISTINA AGUILERA
Hers (www.thechristinastore.com) is the most fan-appreciative
store, with sales and closeouts. Reduced 20 percent: Christina
dolls that sing ''Genie in a Bottle'' (now $31.99) and
diamond-studded genie-bottle pendants ($60).
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
Not only do you get warm greetings penned by the Terminator
(www.schwarzenegger.com) himself, you can also participate in a
monthly auction of movie items like autographed pics and DVDs.
Pricey — but, hey, it goes to charity.
JEWEL
www.jeweljk.com
Recently, the singer-writer's online newsletter
offered a deep discount on her new book of poetry, Chasing Down the Dawn.
GEORGE LUCAS
The official Lucas site is also the official Star Wars site
(www.shop.starwars.com). While it's easy to lose your way with
the potpourri of licensed toys and gadgets, try to find the
talking stand-up card for Jar Jar — it's a keeper.
THE ROCK
Now you can buy what rocks The Rock (www.therock.com). Or so
you'd think. Pickings are slim, except for the cool foam
championship belt ($16). You can't even get The Rock's
best-selling tome here. Try WWF's auction site
(www.auction.wwf.com) for more neat stuff like signed plaques.
TIP SHEET
DO
Save time by searching for links at www.celebrity-fun.
com/celebrity/celebrity.html.
DO
Send an e-mail to customer service before you buy — to see
if they respond.
DO
Try another star if a celeb doesn't have the item you want.
Hundreds are hawking stuff.
DON'T
Shop for autographs on auction sites. It's hard to tell if
they're faked.
