Your Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenanigans

Scarlett’s Used Tissue Sells For Thousands: Scarlett Johansson can add another distinguished honor to her resume; with presumably the most expensive used tissue in the world ever! After an appearance on “The “Tonight Show with Jay Leno” during which Jay handed her a tissue to ease her cold (that she said she allegedly caught from co-star Samuel L. Jackson), the actress joked that it might have some value. Enter eBay! Scarlett’s used tissue went for $5,300, according the auction Web site. Thankfully, ScarJo’s snot rag helped raise funds for USA Harvest.

Pete’s Taste Test: Keeping the gross out theme going, Pete Wentz revealed on Monday’s “The Morning Mash Up!” on SIRIUS that he tried Ashlee’s breast milk. According to Pete it’s “soury” and “weird.” And this concludes our TMI reporting for the day.

Piven’s Exit Kills Sales: Now that Jeremy Piven has left the Broadway revival of “Speed-the-Plow,” following his mercury poisoning scare, audiences are apparently speeding to see other shows, according to by the Broadway League. The Mamet production played to 50 percent capacity following the sushi-loving actor’s departure. Who knew Piven was such the house filler? And sushi addict!
