`SIMPSONS' BBQ GRILL EXPECTED TO BE HOT COLLECTORS ITEM

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (Wireless Flash) -- "The Simpsons" are on fire with memorabilia collectors thanks to a new commemorative Homer Simpson barbecue grill. The shocking yellow charcoal grill made by Weber features a picture of the Simpsons patriarch on the side, and memorabilia expert William D. LaRue predicts it could become a hot item for Simpsons collectors. LaRue -- who personally owns more than 3000 Simpsons- related items -- expects the $34 grills will triple in value within a year. A spokeswoman for Weber says the company is only producing 30,000 of the commemorative grills -- which LaRue points out will only make them more valuable.
