'Golden Voice' Ted -- Cardboard Signs For Sale!

Ted Williams’ former “roommate” – the guy he shared a tent with -- has scrounged up some of Teddy's old pan-handling signs and plans to sell 'em on Ebay ... TMZ has learned.

Victor Houston – a homeless man who met "Golden Voice" on the streets of Ohio – started an Internet auction last week ... and the first item he put up for sale was the very tent he and Ted used to share before Williams got his big break.

As soon as the auction went live -- Victor tells us emails came pouring in from "all over the world" ... with several people asking if he would be selling Ted's original "Golden Voice" sign as well.

Victor says he couldn't find that iconic piece of cardboard -- but he DID find several other signs Ted used on the street ... and plans on putting them up on the auction block ASAP.

But Vic says he won't pocket all of the cash for himself -- telling us a portion of the profits will benefit a local homeless charity.

Heidi Klum Signs a Deal for "Shine" Fragrance

Every celebrity seems to do a fragrance and Heidi Klum is a celebrity who seems to do everything, so news that she'd jump on the celebrity scent bandwagon seems like a given. Indeed, Klum will launch her very own perfume, called "Shine," this September, according to WWD.

The German supermodel, mother of four, TV host, and businesswoman adds the scent to her growing repertoire, while Coty plans to capitalize on the megabrand she's created for herself. Reps for the company pointed to Klum as the whole package -- "she's an entrepreneur; she's a showgirl" -- as well as supermodel and down-to-earth wife and mother all in one.

She's even got experience in the beauty industry, sharing with WWD that for her mandatory internship in Germany (at the tender age of 13!), she worked for the cosmetics company 4711, where her father was the marketing director.

While there are no details yet on the various components of Klum's signature blend, we're betting on a sweet scent for the cheery model.
