A supposed pile of Elvis Presley's hair has sold for $18,300 dollars in an auction in Chicago. The hair is believed to have been snipped from Presley when he joined the U.S. Army in 1958.

Another celebrity auction also raked in the bucks - this one from Barbra Streisand. The Beverly Hills auction of her items - which ranged from furniture and knick-knacks to costumes and gowns - brought in more than 600,000 dollars. One of the sales highlights was the much anticipated letter "A," a symbol of her removing the "A" from her original name. Originally estimated at $200-300 dollars, it sold for more than $8,700.

BEYONCE CONCERT POSTPONED

Beyonce has postponed a planned concert in Malaysia after the nation's opposition Islamist party raised concerns about her performance, citing moral issues. It's not a first for the singer, she was forced to cancel her 2007 concert there.

Rock band Def Leppard have also called off a string of North America tour dates due to "unforeseen personal matters." The band was due to play 23 dates on the final leg of their North America tour. The missed dates will not be rescheduled.

Finally, Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge and Maggie Simpson turned 20 years old. The animated cast and their creator were on hand at an appropriate, yellow-colored carpet to honor what has now become the longest-running American sitcom in history.
