Celebrity investments: an arm and a leg?

The one thing you could always count on as a safe bet would be to invest in property. But we know that's not the case at the moment. And sticking all your savings in the bank doesn't mean you'll see your money grow either. So what's the best way to invest when we're on the brink of recession? Dead celebrity body parts of course.

Evan Lattimer of Englewood, New Jersey, is currently the proud owner of Napoleon Bonaparte's penis. She was recently offered $100,000 (£60k) for 'Le Petit Corporale' (ahem) – that's a tenfold return on what her father paid for it in 1977. Not bad considering the mummified organ is just an inch and a half long.
