Brando Son Sold Celebrity Contacts
Marlon Brando's son CHRISTIAN allegedly sold his late father's address book of celebrity contact details to a mystery buyer.
PageSix.com reports the buyer then tried to sell the Rolodex on online auction eBay before Christian's brother MIKO used his contacts to get the item removed from the website.
The address book is believed to contain the phone numbers, email addresses and home addresses of more than 100 of the world's most famous political and entertainment figures.
Celebrity agent Richard Smith refuses to reveal the identity of the buyer, but he tells PageSix.com, "Christian sold it to an individual who had placed it on eBay."
KEYA MORGAN, who is working on a book with Miko and pulled the Rolodex from eBay, says, "I personally inspected the authenticity of the (Rolodex) and was shocked to see all the private cellphone numbers, home addresses, personal codes of the most powerful people in the Hollywood - there on the Internet for the whole world to see at a starting bid of $100.
"The names included Oprah Winfrey, Robert De Niro, Larry King, Al Pacino, Whoopi Goldberg, John Travolta, Bill Clinton, Leonardo Dicaprio, Tom Hanks, Dustin Hoffman, Samuel L Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor, Denzel Washington, Jack Nicholson, Tony Bennett and Jay Leno.
"I discovered most were still valid."
The late Godfather actor's lawyer DAVID SEELEY is currently trying to recover the Rolodex.
