Michael Jackson's hair is going to be turned into a roulette ball

  • December 14, 2011
  • Brad O'Mance

An online gambling company plans to turn a discarded clump of Michael Jackson's hair into a roulette ball.

NME report that Onlinegamblingpal.com acquired the hair — which was collected at New York's Carlyle Hotel after the late singer stayed there during a charity event — in an auction, winning with a bid of $10,871.

In a statement, the gambling site said it was "an appro­pri­ately unique way to immor­tal­ise a small part of a truly peerless entertainer."

The site has yet to find a home for the ball, but want any casino pro­pri­et­ors to remember that by buying the ball they'll be ensuring Michael Jackson "continues to rock and 'roll' forever".
