Buy Robert De Niro's Kidney Stone!! By Jack, (DT) December 6, 2001 1:19 PM PT

People will sell their souls to have a piece of something touched by a celebrity. A UK TV station is trying to take advantage of that. Digital channel Auction World Dot TV hopes to raise more than ?3,000 when it sells a kidney stone which they claim once passed by Robert De Niro. The stone was bought by Auction World Dot TV founder George Spitaliotis during a trip to Las Vegas. De Niro's agent, Stan Rosenfield, told Ananova: "We know Mr. De Niro passed a stone in 1981. Whether this is the stone is debatable." Either way it's an excellent publicity stunt for any small TV Channel.
