Napoli fans to bid for Maradona's earring
by Mark Meadows, Reuters|12 January 2010
Milan Italy: Napoli fans are planning to raise cash to make a bid to buy Diego Maradona's earring, which was confiscated by Italian authorities in September as part payment for his tax arrears.
The piece of jewellery, taken while Maradona was in Italy at a weightloss clinic, will be put up for auction next week with a starting price of around 4,000 euros ($8,024) expected.
"Let's have a collection," Napoli fans, who adore the Argentina coach after he inspired the club as a player to Serie A titles in 1987 and 1990, have written on a supporter website (www.tifosidelnapoli.it).
Paris Hilton Wants to Get Married This Year
Written by BangShowbiz on Jan-8-10 1:19am2010-01-07T10:19:12
Paris Hilton thinks 2010 might be the year she hears wedding bells. The socialite has said that she could see herself getting hitched to boyfriend Doug Reinhardt this year because their "amazing" relationship has tamed her.
She said: "I wouldn't rule out a wedding in 2010. With how amazing everything is going between us, I see a very bright and happy future. He's taught me how real love can feel. Doug's taught me how to grow up and become more domestic, as in not going out as much as I used to."
Paris, who reconciled with Doug in August following a brief split, is not the only one who is smitten. The Hills star Doug can't wait to get the blonde socialite down the aisle and thinks she would make a "perfect" wife. He added to Life and Style magazine: "Paris is the most beautiful girl in the world. I am so in love with her - I feel like I'm the luckiest guy in the world. She is gorgeous, smart, funny and kind. My family loves her, and she would make the perfect wife."
