A Star Auction: Michael Jackson’s hat, an autographed poster of Eddie Murphy and a teddy bear from Arsenio Hall were among the items auctioned Saturday to raise funds for a woman suffering from cancer. The auction, held at the home of Jackson’s brother, Tito, raised about $45,000 to help cover the medical expenses of Pam Dennis, a single mother in need of a bone marrow transplant to combat breast cancer. Among the big money auction items were two hats belonging to the late Sammy Davis Jr., which went for $2,000 and $3,000, and a harmonica belonging to singer Stevie Wonder, which sold for $2,000.
