Exciting entertainment property Jedward are a pair of hyper-quiffed innocents abroad in a confusing world. The former X Factor contestants now claim to have £2m in their bank account, but as a rule, say they don't like to spend it. However, it seems that the young Grimes brothers recently persuaded their financial carer to let them withdraw £20,000 – a full £3,000 of which they spent at auction on a piece of so-called pop memorabilia that Lost in Showbiz can hardly believe exists.
It is a bedsheet, autographed by both Michael Jackson and his erstwhile child-buddy, Macaulay Culkin.
"It's really good stuff," Edward explained this week. "Nobody else in the world has it." One imagines they don't. In light of subsequent events, Michael probably stopped co- autographing bedlinen with minors – or at the very least, any other works in the series would remain under his former lawyers' lock and key.
So Jedward must be congratulated on their shrewd eye. The purchase represents a canny first acquisition for what will doubtless one day be regarded as the world's leading collection of aberrant celebrity relics.
