Michael Jackson's dirty sock sells at auction
A single glittery sock worn by Michael Jackson at a concert in France in 1997 has sold for more than £6,600. The crystal-encrusted sock was found by a technician after the self-styled King of Pop performed in the southern city of Nimes. It was carefully preserved for 28 years in a frame and went up for sale on Wednesday in the same city, Aurore Illy, the auctioneer, said. 'A cult object for fans' Jackson wore white athletic socks during his 1997 HIStory World Tour, and can be seen wearing them in clips of him performing his hit 'Billie Jean'. Decades later, the sock is no longer white, and the rhinestones adorning it have yellowed with age. 'It really is an exceptional object – even a cult one for Michael Jackson fans,' Ms Illy said. The sock, expected to fetch €3,000-4,000 (£2,500-£3,500), sold for €7,688 (£6,640) at the Nimes auction house. Jackson's clothing, particularly items worn during iconic performances and in music videos, has sold for vast sums following the singer's death in 2009. The star, who during his lifetime faced allegations of child molestation – died of an overdose aged 50 as he prepared for a series of comeback concerts in London. A Chinese gaming resort paid £260,000 in 2009 for a glittery glove he wore when he performed his first 'moonwalk' dance in 1983. A hat he wore just before that performance sold for more than £60,000 in Paris in 2023. The same year, a black and white leather jacket he wore in a 1980s Pepsi advert sold for £250,000. In 2011, the contents of the house he lived in with his three children before his death sold for around £750,000 at auction. The sale included items such as the rug beneath his death bed, which sold for more than $15,000. Jackson still maintains a huge fan base, despite a 2019 documentary exposing further child sexual abuse allegations that sparked a new debate over the legacy of one of the world's most celebrated musicians.

Oreo Just Announced a New Flavor, and No One Saw This Coming
It's the collab of the century. As a pop culture nerd, I live for a good crossover. Like that Friends episode that featured George Clooney and Noah Wyle as their ER characters. Or more recently, when the cast of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia appeared on Abbott Elementary. The math is simple: If you like two things separately, then you'll probably like them even more once they're combined. It's the basis for a lot of great culinary feats, like brookies and Caesar salad wraps (two things I'd eat every single day if I could). Now imagine my delight when I learned that Oreo went to the candy aisle for a collaboration with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Hello, Oreo Reese's cookie!Oreos with Reese's Peanut Butter Creme The Product: Imagine the peanut butter filling of a Reese's cup between two Oreo cookies. Why I'm Excited: The salty-sweet peanut butter creme will be the perfect complement to chocolatey Oreo cookies. How has this not been done before?What Is the Oreo Reese's Cookie? This brand-new flavor will use the standard Oreo chocolate sandwich cookies, and the filling will be Reese's peanut butter-flavored creme with Oreo cookie crumbs. You're probably thinking, Wait, didn't we already have peanut butter Oreos? Yes, we did. Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Oreo cookies were introduced in May 2014. That version had a filling that was half peanut butter creme and half chocolate, a combo that wasn't well-received. Fortunately, this creme will be different, because it will have that signature Reese's salty-sweetness with no chocolate creme to interfere. Since I'm already a huge fan of dipping my regular Oreos in peanut butter, I can't wait to try this new cookie. The addition of Oreo cookie crumbs to the creme is the kind of attention to detail that I've come to expect from my favorite cookie brand. When Will Oreo Reese's Cookies Be in Stores? It's not quite time to grab the keys and run to the store yet. The cookies will be available for presale starting on August 18, and you can join the waitlist as early as July 30. The Oreo Reese's will be available in stores nationwide in September, while supplies last. Since my birthday is in September, I consider this a very nice gift on behalf of Oreo and Reese's. If you want more Oreo x Reese's goodness, then you can also get a hold of the Reese's Oreo Cup. It combines milk chocolate and white chocolate peanut butter cups with Oreo cookie crumbs. The Reese's Oreo Cup will also be available for presale on August 18 before hitting shelves this fall. The best news is that both candy collabs will be permanent additions to the Oreo and Reese's product lineups. Time to celebrate! To learn more about our approach to product recommendations, see HERE.
