Selling screensavers and other celebrities stuff - how to do it?

    Hi guys
    I'm going to start soon a celebrities web site and I was wondering if it was a good idea to sell - by myself, not as an affiliate - celebs stuff like screensavers, wallpapers, and maybe (in the future) also "solid" things like posters, framed pictures etc.

    My questions to this wonderful forum are:
    - is it worth it (I'm talking now about "virtual" stuff, screensavers and things that the user can download) ?
    - where can I get (legally) these kind of things? Do I need to buy pictures (where?!?) and hire somebody who creates wallpapers and screensavers for me?

    Thank you all guys!
    :)

    Before jumping on the latest trend, it's important to do your research. Infomercials and celebrities correlation would be a good start.

    Well, you can make a good use of $200.
    If you need some quality wallpapers, you can contact me. I can even make SS for you. Or you can just wait for few weeks for my upcoming website and then yu can download them and creat SS yourself ;)
    I dont creat wallpapers. I just happen to have a quality collection on my HD.

    One of the problems, thou, is copyrighted material: where did you get all the wallpapers you are showing? You don't intend to sell any stuff you have?
    If I decide to sell some content, I will need to make sure it's all legal...

    Well, All my wallpaper collection is from websites that displays
    "Wallpapers are believe to be in Public Domain" So i dont know if there will b any copyright problem. You have to confirm it yourself. And also wallpapers got through some friends.
    Can’t give the URL's coz i have been collecting wallpapers for almost 6 years by now. So obviously I don’t remember.

    Well, as they don’t "belong" to me so i am not "selling" them.

    If you want a SS from me, I can always give you a free SS that will have a link to my site. Or we can think of "some other" way around. I can even host them for u ;)
    PM me if you are interested. (I m available on YIM)
