Michael Jackson's dirty underwear is going up for auction tomorrow (10.09.08).
A pair of white Calvin Klein briefs, with a 28-inch waist, will be put up for sale on website eBay with a reserve price of $1 million.
The underpants were part of the evidence confiscated from the singer's home in 2003 by Tom Sneddon, who was the then District Attorney for Santa Barbara, as part of the child molestation charges launched against the 'Thriller' star.
It is said the underwear was used to get a DNA sample of the 50-year-old pop star - who was acquitted of all charges.
They are not the only Jackson item up for grabs in the auction.
New Jersey businessman Henry Vaccaro, who obtained a variety of memorabilia in a bankruptcy case, is also offering fans the chance to get their hands on a handwritten note to ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley explaining why he wants an annulment, as well as a used tube of skin-bleaching cream.
