>> Uri Geller loses Elvis house in eBay mix-up
Celebrity spoon-bender Uri Geller is threatening legal action after discovering a house he bought on eBay, formerly owned by Elvis, has been sold to someone else.
Geller made a winning bid of $905,100 (£481,000) for the house in May. However, he has found out the vendors sold the property, where Elvis lived before up-grading to Graceland, to music producer Mike Curb.
"We are absolutely, mind-blown angry. Of course we're going to sue," he said.
It is not known how much Curb paid for the four-bedroomed Memphis House. Elvis bought it in 1956 with the royalties from 'Heartbreak Hotel'. He only stayed there a year before fan intrusion forced the move. In the short time that he lived there, the King had a granite swimming pool installed in the garden, which at 50 feet long was the largest residential pool in the city at the time.
Ebay are being circumspect about responsibility for the blunder. "The platform we provide in real estate really serves to generate interest," said eBay spokeswoman Catherine England. "It isn't a legally binding contract." <<
(Why didn't he just mind-control the dealer into selling it to him?)

Interesting...Uri was on "Big Brother's Big Mouth" last night, a talk show about UK Big Brother, and he didn't seem distracted, he was really into talking about what the housemates were thinking, because of course, he's been in telepathic communication with them.
On the screen behind him is the lovely Imogen, one of the housemates and Miss Wales 2003.
Maybe that's why he didn't foresee it...he's too busy watching reality TV!
