Marilyn Monroe’s lost love letters sell for $121K

Joe DiMaggio’s love letter to Marilyn Monroe has sold for $78,125 at a Beverly Hills auction.

Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills says the letter, written by the baseball great after Monroe announced she was divorcing him, was sold Saturday to an undisclosed buyer.

The letter during their brief, volatile marriage was among 300 items, labeled “Marilyn Monroe’s Lost Archives,” that went up for sale.

A handwritten letter from Monroe to her third and final husband, playwright Arthur Miller, sold for $43,750.

Monroe, who died of a drug overdose at age 36 in 1962, willed the collection of letters to her mentor, the legendary acting coach Lee Strasberg.

Better Call Saul: AMC’s upcoming spinoff

For all the Breaking Bad fans, AMC has released a tease for the upcoming spin-off Better Call Saul.

Set in 2002, it focuses on the life of small-time lawyer (portrayed by Bob Odenkirk) six years before his appearance on Breaking Bad, though events during and after the original series will also be explored.

Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan hinted at a possible spin-off series focusing on Goodman. In a July 2012 interview, Gilligan said he liked “the idea of a lawyer show in which the main lawyer will do anything it takes to stay out of a court of law.”

The crime drama television series was set to come out earlier this year, but has been delayed until Sunday, Feb. 8, at 10 p.m. for a two-night premier. AMC has also announced that the series has been renewed for a second season.

Let’s all hope it lives up to the greatness that Breaking Bad has brought to television.

Keira Knightley goes topless!

Keira Knightley has gotten creative when it comes to protesting. In the latest issue of Interview Magazine, Knightley poses topless on one condition; no retouching! She is protesting in response to how she’s been photo shopped in the past. On the promotional poster for “King Arthur,” Knightley’s chest was touched up and enhanced.

Knightley told The Times “I’ve had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it’s paparazzi photographers or for film posters. That shoot was one of the ones where I said: “OK, I’m fine doing the topless shot so long as you don’t make them any bigger or retouch.”

Knightley is one of many celebrities standing up against photo shop and she’s getting her message across quite uniquely.
