Luigi, who married a French lawyer (Mireille Perier) but is now divorced, sends regular progress bulletins on tape.

Elvis' Military Uniform Up for Sale
HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 6, 2000 -- It ain't his blue suede shoes, but it's just as valuable.
Elvis Presley's U.S. Army uniform goes on the auction block today, and experts say that the stained garment could fetch as much as $36,000, Reuters reports.
The uniform, stained with paint after the King leaned against a freshly painted window, was issued to Presley before he headed for his station in Germany.
Presley was issued a new jacket after staining the first one, but a member of the painting crew kept the original as a souvenir. It's now owned by Elvis fan Johnny Earle.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 5, 2000 -- The country home of former Hollywood Golden Gay Couple Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche is up for sale. The Los Angeles Times reports that the $2.75 million property in Ojai, Calif., 10 acres complete with citrus and avocado orchards, is on the market.
The couple were together for 3 1/2 years before their split last month. Friends said that no third party was involved in the breakup announced Aug. 19, and the women described their parting as amicable.

Shortly after the breakup, Heche, 31, was hospitalized after walking into a Central California home in a dazed state. Fresno police declined to elaborate on the actress’s condition, but a friend later said that Heche was suffering from sunstroke.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 20, 2000 -- Who says memories can’t be sold? Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are reportedly trying to sell their photos of their 1-month-old baby boy, Dylan Michael, to English tabloid OK! Magazine, Mr. Showbiz reports.
The photos could cost OK! as much as $1 million.
The pair also are allegedly putting an estimated $2 million price tag on photos from their upcoming wedding. A date has yet to be announced for the nuptials.
OK! Magazine’s editor, Martin Townsend, told Mr. Showbiz that the publication is indeed in talks for an exclusive rights agreement.
“It’s perfectly normal here in England for celebrities to sell photos of their special occasions,” Townsend said. “It’s like showing off your baby’s photos in your wallet.”
Douglas’ representative denies that the actor is overlooking the sale of photos from the wedding.
