The widow of the man who had a crypt above Marilyn Monroe’s burial place is putting it up for sale.
Richard Poncer, who died at 81 more than 20 years ago, will be moved from the crypt that is said to have once been owned by Monroe’s former husband Joe DiMaggio.
Poncer’s widow, Elsie, plans to start bidding for the crypt, located at the Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park cemetery on e-Bay for $500,000.
She said she wants to use the money to help pay off the $1.6 million mortgage on her Beverly Hills home. “I can’t be more honest than that. I want to leave it free and clear for my kids.”
Elsie said her husband bought the crypt from DiMaggio during his 1954 divorce from Monroe, who died in 1962. Elsie said that when she sells the crypt, she’ll put her husband’s remains in the one reserved for her. She plans to be cremated and add her ashes to the crypt so the pair can rest peacefully together.
Before he died, Richard had one request. “He said, ‘If I croak, if you don’t put me upside down over Marilyn, I’ll haunt you the rest of my life.’ ”
The funeral director obliged the wish. Elsie said: “I was standing right there, and he turned him over.”

And you thought sex tapes only got popular because of Paris Hilton. First, there was a Marilyn Monroe sex tape and now, there’s a 40-year old sex tape featuring rock legend Jimi Hendrix getting it on with two brunettes making the rounds on the net. This was shot decades before sex tapes became the rage. The tape is up close and personal and really raunchy. It’s being said that a rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia collector found the tape and sold it to Vivid Entertainment. I find it a little bit funny that Jimi apparently loses all his clothes during the threesome but he never took off his iconic headband.

Loud-mouthed Jade Goody is not known for her brains and good ideas. From not knowing if they speak English in the US to naming strawberries as a vegetable; and that’s just the beginning of many daft things that have rooted from the girl’s mouth.
But bright idea of the year is to sing Happy Birthday to the PM next year in the same style as Marilyn Monroe’s tribute to the president in 1962.
The 26 year old says, “If I behave myself, maybe next year I’ll sing Happy Birthday Gordon Brown, like Marilyn did to the president.”
It’s not the singing that worries me. It’s the “behaving” and the fact we have never known Jade to think before she speaks; leading to cringe worthy embarrassment. I have wanted the ground to open up and swallow me on her behalf at times.
Don’t hold your breath fans…
