| Drew Peterson's old windows on eBay for 99 cents; magazines also up ...
Last week Peterson grabbed the spotlight when he and his attorney, Joel Brodsky, proposed staging a "Win a Date With Drew" contest on a local radio show. Previously, Peterson and Brodsky concocted a Web site called defenddrew.com to raise money for his legal defense fund.
The fact that the latest stunt—the windows—was not Peterson's creation tickled him even more.
"Well, God love him. I think it's hilarious. I've got to come out with a Drew T-shirt," Peterson said. "This whole thing, I find it comical . . . Tell the guy if he gives me a cut, I'll sign them and endorse them."
Lajewski's ad is quite clear: "NONE OF THE PROCEEDS WILL GO TO THE DREW PETERSON DEFENSE FUND."
While the magazine covers with Peterson's mug appear to be part of a regular series of magazines being sold on eBay, Lajewski said he was selling the windows as a joke on those obsessed with the case, and on the media.

Celebrate Express Q2 earnings below expectations
Celebrate Express Inc. reported second-quarter net income of $430,000, or earnings of 5 cents a share, down from $568,000 and 7 cents a share a year earlier. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial Network expected second-quarter earnings of 7 cents. Revenues were $31.3 million -- exactly what analysts predicted, up from $28.5 million a year ago. Officials at the Kirkland party products company (NASDAQ: BDAY) said there was a "late season spike in sales" around Halloween. "Unfortunately, that sharp, late season spike in sales resulted in a temporary shipping backlog that did create a disappointing shopping experience for some customers," said Kevin Green, CEO, in a statement. Shares in Celebrate Express dropped more than 11 percent, falling 91 cents to close at $6.93 in Friday trading.
