Grammy Red Carpet Sales to Benefit Music Charities

Here's a new take on recycling—and celebrity worship: In an unusual fund-raising effort, Beverly Hills art gallery Celebrity Vault will sell 1,000 pieces of the red carpet from the 50th annual Grammy awards to benefit MusiCares and the Grammy Foundation. For around $100 a pop, collectors will have a chance to snag a framed piece of carpet alongside a ceremony ticket. Pre-orders begin February 3, and plaques will be shipped a few weeks after the February 10 awards, according to a press release from Rogers & Cowan.
