Emmy Jewelry Round-Up

Clothes Off Our Backs often auctions off the clothing, shoes and accessories that celebrities wear to special events like the Emmy Awards and the Oscars. This year, they've taken the own-what-a-celeb-has-touched auction one step further. Instead of owning something just one celebrity touched, you can sit on the very velvety tuffet where many celeb hindquarters have rested. They are auctioning off the pouf that was the centerpiece in the 2006 Architectural Digest Greenroom at the Emmy Awards. The pouf is covered in coral velvet with silver-leafed moldings and a silver-gilt wood finial and proceeds benefit the emergency relief efforts in Darfur, Children's Defense Fund and Cure Autism Now. No bids last time I checked...Diamond Hershey's Kiss To Be Auctioned Off For Charity
Celebrity jeweler Neil Lane has created a special Hershey's Kisses design made of diamonds to celebrate the upcoming 100 year anniversary of the chocolate candy. Lane's seven carat pin is set with 755 diamonds and is worth more than $25,000. The design will be on the red carpet at the Emmy awards next weekend and will be auctioned off starting on the following Monday by "Clothes Off Our Back" with 100 percent of the proceeds donated to children's charities.Emmy Swag and a Tax Reminder to Celebs
With the Emmy Awards approaching in just a few weeks, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (ATAS) took the time to remind celebrities that their swag bags are considered taxable income and need to be reported as such when tax season rolls around. This is no small thing, either. The value of this year's Emmy gifts is estimated to be between $27,000 and $33,000. The ATAS even sent out letters to the presenters asking for compliance with the various tax codes with a waiver to sign, proving that they read it.
One of the reasons that the ATAS is being rather strict is that the IRS reportedly stands to collect over $1million from Oscar bags alone, which were worth over $100,000 each last year, and the ATAS doesn't want to be held responsible for any tax problems stemming from the Emmy Awards.
