Donated the shoes from the album?!  Sounds like a cheap publicity stunt to
me...realistically, those shoes just aren't all that collectible, at least
from a museum stand point.  Unless, of course, they were shoes from the
movie.  Anyone know?

You did forget the smiley after that, didn't you?  I hate to think you
meant that seriously.  I doubt everything in the national enquirer is true,
and the daily corrections column in almost every major newspaper proves
that even the big guys aren't 100% perfect.
