Looking for a Ferris wheel?

Ever wanna buy a Ferris wheel? Now's your chance.

The wheel on the Santa Monica Pier in Southern California is up for auction -- on eBay. The pier will be getting a new ride. But not before it sells off the old one. Bids start at $50,000. One more hitch: You have to haul it away. And at nine stories and 122,000 pounds, that's no small task.

Somebody put something in Richie Ramone's contract

A U.S. District judge just dismissed a lawsuit filed by Richie Ramone, a former Ramones drummer. Richie wrote six songs for the rock band, including "Somebody Put Something In My Drink." And he is not getting any cash from Internet sales these days. But the judge said his contract contained language that made it clear that any future modes of music reproduction were covered.

Richie was asking for $1 million in royalties.
