So how is one to tell whether or not that gum chewed “by Drew Barrymore herself” was actually moistened by the movie star’s very own salivary glands? You can’t. But here’s are a few tips for avoiding a major eBay bidsaster, according to Elizabeth Goodman at RollingStone.com.

1.	If it’s tasteful, it’s probably not really Elton John’s.
2.	If the item is an extra large piece of clothing, it probably never belonged to Prince, Glenn Danzig, Ronnie James Dio or Kylie Minogue.
3.	John Lennon never wrote on an iBook. Make sure the “handwritten” Beatles lyrics you’re mortgaging the house to bid on aren’t typed in a swanky “handwriting” font.
4.	If you saw the same shirt last week at Wal-Mart it probably is Britney Spears’.
5.	Ask yourself: Do I really want Drew Barrymore’s gum? Indulge in a viewing of Bad Girls (not to be confused with Mad Love, a deceptively good film) and have a talk with You. What needs are you trying to satisfy with Drew’s ABC Trident?
