If the article that's to stay in color has clearly defined edges all around, I would recommend the selection sequence suggested by rwalker. On the other hand, if there are places that are difficult to select, such as fluffy hair, with background showing through, the eraser tool may be preferable. Set the eraser to a low percentage (say 15--20%) and blend the interface carefully. It is possible to turn the saturation down on individual colors, which may be useful if the object and the background are hard to separate otherwise.
