The shimmering white glove Michael Jackson wore when he premiered his trademark moonwalk dance in 1983 was auctioned off for $350,000 — plus tax — yesterday.

With taxes and fees, winning bidder Hoffman Ma of Hong Kong will pay $420,000 for the rhinestone-studded, modified golf glove Jackson wore on his left hand for his moonwalk on Motown's 25th anniversary TV special.

The glove was the top item in a collection of Jackson memorabilia on the block at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York's Times Square. Its pre-auction estimate was $40,000 to $60,000.

"It was a fairly good discount," said Ma, a 36-year-old Jackson fan who bought the pop-music treasure on behalf of the Ponte 16 Resort Hotel in Macau.

The pop icon, who died June 25 at age 50, had given the glove to Walter "Clyde" Orange of the singing group the Commodores.

A jacket that Jackson wore on his 1989 Bad tour fetched $225,000 — 20 times its low estimate of $8,000.

The sale, held by Los Angeles-based Julien's Auctions, also included a fedora Jackson wore for the moonwalk. That sold for $22,000, more than 10 times the high estimate of $2,000.

DETROIT MUSIC ICONS SALUTE MOTOWN

Hundreds gathered to salute Detroit-style royalty — the King of Motown, the Queen of Soul and the Kid of Rock.

Motown Records founder Berry Gordy, Aretha Franklin and Kid Rock — along with Motown's original kid, Stevie Wonder — were in downtown Detroit yesterday for the Motown 50 Golden Gala.

Gordy said "it means everything" to be at the gala, a fundraiser for the Motown Historical Museum, which is set in the original home of Motown Records Corp.

SHERYL CROW WANTS MUSTANGS TO BE FREE

Sheryl Crow is joining others in calling on the federal government to halt roundups of wild horses in the west, calling them inhumane and unnecessary.

The Grammy-winning singer has asked President Obama and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to scrap a proposed roundup of 2,500 mustangs in northern Nevada.

U.S. Bureau of Land Management officials said they plan to remove 11,500 wild horses and burros from the range over each of the next three years because their booming numbers are damaging the range.

OBAMA PLAYS GOLF, DINES AT FRIEND'S HOME

President Obama and his family spent a low-key night out at the home of a senior White House adviser after a whirlwind week spent on a presidential trip to Asia.

The president golfed for more than four hours yesterday at Andrews Air Force Base, then took first lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha to dinner at the Georgetown home of Valerie Jarrett.

The president's golfing buddies on the day trip to Andrews were presidential aide Eugene Kang, photographer David Katz and White House trip director Marvin Nicholson.
