The Paris Hilton frenzy has just reached unimaginable heights. It seems that some people cannot live if they do not have something of the heiress in their lives. You might think a picture of her will do, but you would be mistaken. Get this, people: there are individuals out there that treasure Paris' garbage.

Now those who live near the 26-year-old can simply go to her trashcans and knock themselves out with the joy that Paris' garbage brings them. But what about the people that are not so fortunate? Well, somebody thought of them as well and organized an auction on eBay. It seems that Paris has many loyal followers on the HollywoodStarTrash.com site, because it was them that were the most active buyers. So what was for sale?

Well, gather round boys and girls and feast your eyes on this empty gourmet dog food can. The food is no longer there because Paris' dog, Tinkerbell, ate it all. The bidding will start at $100. Do I hear $150? $150 it is, do I hear $250? Yes, $250, do I hear $300? $300 right there, do I hear $350?......Anyone? OK then, $300 going once, $300 going twice...SOLD!

You might find that little sketch amusing, but I can assure you that somebody actually paid $305 for an empty dog-food can that came from Paris' garbage. And that's not the end of it. A used toothbrush that Paris threw away sold for another $300. Two envelopes that were sent to her while she was in prison were considered to be so valuable that some nutter actually paid $510 to have them. But don't think that everything sold this big. For instance, an empty Coke can that was retrieved from Paris' trash was deemed worthy of only $51.

There is something I do not understand. How can somebody prove to the buyers that what they are buying actually came from Paris' garbage? I mean, what's to stop anybody to take an empty Coke can from anywhere in the world and claim that it belonged to Paris?

And another thing: there is no way that these people that are buying Paris' trash can be considered eccentric. Because I have heard of eccentric people buying Elvis Presley's trash. That's still weird, but I can let that slide, seeing the iconic personality of Elvis.

But who the hell is Paris Hilton?
