Michael J. Fox / Marty McFly Shoes Sell For $37,500
Remember those bad-ass Nike Air Mag sneakers that laced themselves in Back to the Future II? How cool were they? Well, now you can have your very own pair — if you have about $37,500 laying around.
Nike is releasing 1,500 pairs of the “2011 Nike Mag” sneaker, modeled after the pair from the 1989 movie, to be auctioned to raise funds for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s disease research. The first pair were sold last night and one lucky anonymous bidder paid $37,500 for them. A big win for Parkinson’s research!
Fox was on Late Show With David Letterman Thursday night to promote the fundraising shoe.
“This brings together three populations of major Joneses,” Fox told Letterman, “the sneakerheads, the Back to the Future people, who, believe me, are out of their minds, in a good way! Thank God for them. And the people in the Parkinson’s community who have an interest in research.”
Fox also gave the amazing news that Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, will match up to $50 million of the proceeds raised dollar for dollar.
VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY: David Letterman’s Top Ten Reasons To Watch Two And A Half Men
The new cast of CBS’ Two and a Half Men were on Thursday night’s Late Show with David Letterman to present their collective “Top Ten Reasons To Watch the New Season of Two and a Half Men.”
Newbie Ashton Kutcher appeared alongside series originals Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones. “This [season premiere] is going to be huge thanks to Charlie Sheen,” Letterman joked before the Top Ten segment began. “I mean, he did all the heavy lifting on this one, boy.”
Like any good Top Ten list before it, the jokes ran the gamete from Cryer presenting #8: “I need to pay for a really big new house” to “This season we’ll reveal who the mother is” at #6. My fave line: Kutcher’s threat at #7: “If you don’t, I’ll make Dude, Where’s My Car? 2.

VIDEO: David Letterman Responds To Death Threat
While David Letterman spent the last two weeks off air on vacation, a jihadist marked the funny man for death.
Continuing strong, he said: “Backstage, I was talking to the guy from CBS. We were going through the CBS life insurance policy to see if I was covered for jihad.”
HEELARIOUS!
Letterman did acknowledge that our government is looking into the threat but that did not stop him from telling more jokes.
“Everybody knows it’s (Jay) Leno.”
10. “Someone wants to silence me? Get in line.”
9. “Nothing says summer fun like a death threat.”
8. “Why is the staff in such a good mood?”
7. “Save me, Oprah!”
6. “Should I wear my Kevlar hairpiece?”
5. “And here I thought nobody watched the show.”
4. “How can someone be so angry at a time whenKim Kardashian is so happy?”
3. “Some people get Emmy nominations; some people get death threats.”
2. “This seems like Leno’s handiwork.”
1. “Oh my God, they canceled ‘The George Lopez Show’!”

David Letterman Marked For Death On Extremist Website
David Letterman has been marked for death by a frequent contributor to a jihadist website, Shumuka al-Islam forum.
The contributor, who has identified himself as Umar al-Basrawi, apparently has not taken a liking to one of Letterman’s jokes made after the U.S. military announced that it had killed al-Qaida leader Ilyas Kashmiri in Pakistan.
The FBI is obviously checking out the threat, and a spokesman for the Bureau said: “We take every potential threat seriously.”
Neither CBS nor Letterman have yet commented on the threat. And CBS would not make available a transcript of Letterman’s joke on the killing of Kashmiri.
