G James Blunt elton john oscar party feb 07James BluntFancy owning a piece of James Blunt?

How about his sister, whom he allegedly put on eBay...

Strange, but true?

Have a read.

The London Paper reports that James put his younger sister, Emily, on eBay.

In a round about way, at least.

After transport strikes stopped Em from getting to a funeral in Ireland, James decided to step in and save the day.

The London Paper quotes him as saying: "I was waiting for my first album to come out and ended up selling pretty much everything I owned on eBay.

"I had a mild addiction."

Enter Em's dilemma. The paper says after James found her in floods of tears due to her travel dilemma, he turned to eBay.

He explained: "I ended up whacking it on eBay: 'Damsel in distress seeks knight in shining armour. Desperate to get to a funeral in southern Ireland, please help.'"

Millionaire Guy Harrison apparently responded and whisked Em off to the funeral in Ireland in his helicopter.

In a real happily ever after twist, Em is said to be tying the knot with Guy next month.

All thanks to her bro.

Now that's brotherly love for you.
