People are strange when it comes to their obsession with celebrity, but a Paris cemetery is hoping the most dedicated of fans are willing to pay handsomely to be buried near their idols.
The Pere Lachaise cemetery is the final resting place of some of history and pop culture's biggest names, including Jim Morrison of The Doors, writer Oscar Wilde, Marcel Marceau, and Frédéric Chopin. Now the body that oversees that graveyard is offering people the chance to have a plot of their own there — or other historic French cemeteries, including Montparnasse (which counts Jean-Paul Sartre and Jacques Chirac among its residents) and Montmartre (which houses the remains of impressionist painter Edgar Degas and Charles-Henri Sanson, the royal executioner who executed Louis XVI).
Thirty gravestones from the cemeteries are in disrepair and can be bought for €4,000 (roughly $4,500). Whoever buys them, however, must restore the monuments and then buy the burial plot next to the headstone they restore.
Due to overwhelming demand, officials plan to run the sale as a lottery. The drawing will be held in Janauary.
Offering eternal rest next to the stars is a compromise, Paris city officials say, that both respects the dead and lets residents be buried within the city, where there is very little room remaining for graves.
Families are responsible for maintaining gravestones and monuments in Paris, but some graves have become abandoned over time, causing the gravestone to crumble.
To be clear, none of the gravestones that are up for sale belong to any of the cemetery's most famous residents, so you might not be elbow to elbow with Jim Morrison, but you could be adjacent.
And, at the moment, applications for these purchases are only open to people who live in Paris — and they'll have just six months to restore the gravestone and a limited timeframe after that to buy the plot.
Burial plots are sold either in perpetuity (€17,668/$20,294) or can be leased for 10, 30 or 50 years, at prices ranging from $1,120 to more than $6,000.

They had a whole year to come forward from the date the numbers were drawn, according to New Jersey lottery rules.

The alleged middleman cooperating in the police investigation into the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia is believed to have run a major illegal lottery worth millions.
Melvin Theuma, 41, was described by police sources as having a “complicated” criminal resumé. Sources said that investigators found more than €2 million in cash stashed away at his house. 
He is being held in a secure location under heavy police supervision, as investigators interview him on his knowledge of the plot to assassinate the journalist.
Sources say he has substantial hard evidence in the form of audio recordings and text messages to back up his testimony which is now in the possession of the police, who are analysing it together with experts from Europol.  
On Monday, sources said Mr Theuma had secured a presidential pardon in exchange for evidence concerning the Caruana Galizia case. 
But how did he get here?
Mr Theuma is said to moonlight as a taxi driver at the Portomaso complex, which belongs to Yorgen Fenech. He had at one time acted as the businessman’s personal go-for.
Police swooped in on him on November 14 as part of an anti-money laundering investigation that has been simmering away for months. 
Sources privy to this investigation described it a crackdown on Malta’s “parallel lotto” – complete with tickets, in which pundits stood a chance of winning major cash. 
The lotto is pegged to the national one, with players placing bets on a string of numbers and waiting for the national lotto winning numbers to be announced at the end of every week.
Police have singled out a number of other individuals as part of that investigation.

Mr Theuma is a known face around the Marsa racing track.

Shortly after his arrest, Mr Theuma, who was not part of the original group of 10 men arrested last year in connection with the Caruana Galizia murder plot, offered police a trade: information and evidence on the alleged mastermind, for immunity from all prosecution.
Sources involved in the investigation had first mentioned Mr Theuma’s name to Times of Malta several months ago, saying they had a plan to get him into custody and lift evidence he was believed to be holding.
He is providing information on Mr Fenech, who has been identified as a “person of interest” by the team investigating the car bomb assassination of Ms Caruana Galizia.
He also has information on other players involved, according to the sources.
Investigators said there was a long string of cases that Mr Theuma could turn State witness on, and this was part of the reason why he was being held in a secure location under heavy police protection as part of his debriefing.
The Prime Minister last Friday said the police had not yet reached the stage where a pardon would be signed. 
Mr Theuma’s long-time lawyer is Matthew Brincat, the former chairman of the Malta Racing Club, who is representing him in negotiations with the police in his bid to get a presidential pardon. 
He is also being represented in his negotiations with authorities by Kathleen Grima, a Gozitan lawyer who had been the face of the hunters’ lobby when they successfully campaigned to retain the contentious spring hunting season in a 2015 referendum.

A EuroMillions player in Dublin is certain to be celebrating this morning following their top prize win in last night’s EuroMillions Plus draw.
The Tuesday night player scooped their €500,000 prize after purchasing their Quick Pick ticket on Wednesday, October 29, at Donnybrook Fair on Morehampton Road in Donnybrook, Dublin. The winning numbers in the Tuesday, November 4, EuroMillions Plus draw were: 05, 09, 14, 39, 42.
The National Lottery has urged EuroMillions players in Dublin to carefully check their tickets today as one person now has a ticket worth an incredible €500,000.
The top prize winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket and keep it safe. They should contact the National Lottery Prize Claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to collect their prize.
National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Orr appealed to players to check their tickets following a week of big wins for players in Dublin: "It’s been a memorable few days for National Lottery players in Dublin and the week isn’t over yet.
"On Saturday night, a Lotto player in Rathfarnham won the top prize of €1 million in the weekend Lotto Plus One draw and now just a few days later, we have another top prize winner in the capital.
"Tuesday night’s EuroMillions Plus draw saw a player in Donnybrook scoop the €500,000 top prize earning themselves the title of 29th EuroMillions Plus top prize winner of the year to date.
"Today we are urging all of our EuroMillions players who purchased their ticket for Tuesday night’s draw in Donnybrook Fair on Morehampton Road, to check their tickets carefully. There is a player out there with a ticket worth an incredible €500,000.
"The winner should sign the back of their ticket and contact our prize claims team who will make arrangements for our newest top prize winner to visit Lottery Headquarters."
Meanwhile, as there was no winner of the €85,169,986 jackpot on offer in last night’s draw, Friday’s jackpot is now set to soar to an estimated €100 million.
Players dreaming of winning big are reminded that tickets can be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app or online at www.lottery.ie ahead of the 7.30pm cut-off time for sales on Friday evening.
