Check it all out, pass it on and be sure to send us your own sale or event for future editions of the Guide.

Singer R. Kelly's suburban Chicago home was auctioned yesterday. The 11,140 square foot Olympia Park abode has 8 full bathrooms, 4 fireplaces, a theater, and an indoor pool made to look like a lagoon. The opening bid was $950,000, and it was going, going, gone to JP Morgan Chase, which will eventually put it on the market.

In other news, John Cleese sells his furniture in Monaco, and check out a cabinet that looks like a computer glitch. See the headlines after the jump.
