BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Monroe painting sells for £43,000, feces for £2000 + free roll of toilet paper

"A painting by Marilyn Monroe has been sold at auction for $78,000 (£43,000) while her personal phone book fetched $90,000 (£49,600).

The 1962 painting of a red rose was initially inscribed to President Kennedy, but she never gave it to him, said auction boss Darren Julien.

She later wrote a new inscription: 'Happy Birthday Marilyn Monroe.'"
