I Hope They Did It For The Charity


I think it was last week when I posted about Scarlett Johansson auctioning off a "date" with herself for the charity Oxfam. Now Oxfam is a great charity, but the "date" was only guaranteed to be a handwritten note from the actress. If you were lucky you might get a handshake for your date. Well some person named "bossnour" ponied up $40,000 for that note and handshake.

I'm glad the money is going to charity, but if he just wants her signature he probably could have got it off Ebay for about $100. In contrast, Colin Firth auctioned off himself for the night and the winning bidder only had to pay $8600, and Colin has promised to hang out with that person. Spending the evening with Colin Firth sounds a hell of a lot more fun than sitting around waiting for some PR hack to come find you and bring you the note Scarlett managed to scribble out in the limo on the way to the premiere. Hell, it might even be something the PR person just wrote themselves and had Scarlett sign.

I hope bossnour doesn't have any delusions of grandeur about what his "date" is going to entail and that he is going to get the chance to wine and dine Scarlett or even hang out in the VIP area at the after party.

On the other hand, I'm sure if he really has some fantasy about getting it on with Scarlett, I'm sure that Ashley Dupre would be willing to throw a wig on and pretend to be whoever the hell you want her to be for $40,000.

To me, Scarlett is like Charlize. Beautiful, not very talented and certainly not worth all the hype.

I'm not getting it, but I'm guessing Woody does.

Of course it's just a signature. Wasn't she voted one of the top ten rudest celebrities or some shit? I believe it. She sure seems like a snotty bitch to me. And her acting is intolerable.

Beautiful, yes, but she totally lacks the talent to stay around for much more than five years. *yawn*. I hate her, but I'm pretty confident that once her boobies begin sagging and some other new Marilyn wannabe comes along, she'll skedaddle into hasbeenland. So I'm not even gonna worry about it.

Enjoy your "date," Bonjour. (or whatever the hell pretentious name you picked)

I know this was probably just an offhand comment but this reminds me of that blind about the c list actress who makes more money pretending to be more famous stars (at first as Scarlett, currently as Ali Larter) for the fantasies of various industry people. I *think* the actress in that blind was foreign born though. And there was some other actress that most people settled on as the answer. Still, odd coincidence.

LOL...gayla, I was thinking the exact same thing. That blind still has my mind going.
