A pair of ruby slippers considered to be "The Holy Grail," of all Hollywood memorabilia has been stolen.

A rare pair of the ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in the classic movie "Wizard of Oz" were stolen during the weekend in what appears to be a targeted burglary at the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minn.

Insured for $1 million, the shoes are one of four pairs known to exist that were used in the 1939 movie, said their owner, Michael Shaw, a North Hollywood movie memorabilia collector.

Must be interesting having Edna for a 'mom'.

No, I've never seen that. I haven't caught any Dame Edna on TV in many years. I was surprised to see the other day that she's still alive!

13. Hmmm. Cute...

...but a taller silhouette, maybe a stiletto heel is more flattering. Can I see the Jimmy Choo with the Swarovski crystal straps in the window?
