MICHAEL JACKSON29

IT was always going to be a spectacle when JEDWARD finally got their mitts on their mountains of cash.

The "deadly" duo went berserk on t'internet and splashed out £20,000 on memorabilia including one of MICHAEL JACKSON's old bedsheets for £3,000.

I hope it's been through the wash.

X Factor stars Jedward, real names JOHN and EDWARD GRIMES, went with no sleep for two nights while bidding on China-based icons auction Legends.

Edward said: "It's really good stuff - nobody else in the world has it.

"We bought a BRITNEY SPEARS suit she wore in a Pepsi commercial.

"We've got a signed, limited-edition Michael Jackson doll and a signed bedsheet of his also signed by MACAULAY CULKIN. We also bought some outfits from Batman, like The Riddler's, and some clown thing."

Sounds like they didn't know quite what they were bidding for - but some of their haul is pictured below.

The Britney suit has a signed white jacket cuff. Other buys include a Batman gang costume, Demolition Man police uniform and DEAN CAIN Superman kit.

They plan to use some of the new outfits on tour, maybe in 2011. John added: "We bought these spaceman and Superman costumes. They will look awesome on stage."

Edward said they now have £2million in the bank but have not bought "anything else". And they will cash in more with gigs like the Scooby-Doo! one pictured here.

They sang with the cartoon character at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, south London, to launch a UK tour of kids' Scooby show the Mystery Mansion.

Even more dough will roll in if they crack the States - and they already have a big fan in KATY PERRY.

They met the US singer at The X Factor studios on Sunday before she sang on the show and they chatted later on The Xtra Factor.

Edward said: "Katy told us we're the perfect pop act and were really, really cool. We are preparing for America and hope they like us."

With their gallons of hair gel and all this junk they won't be travelling light.
