caught a cold from her “Spirit” costar Samuel L.
Jackson. Aware that star power is stronger than any recession,
Scarlett went on the “Tonight Show,” blew her nose, and
put the tissue up for auction on eBay. <br><br>After 64
bids, the current sale price is $2151. (<a rel="nofollow"

going to the charity USA Harvest, but who are these bidders willing
to fork over big bucks for somebody’s mucus?
<br><br>Do you admire Scarlett’s charitable act,
or do you think people are so star struck they’ll bid on
anything? [<a rel="nofollow"

Report AbuseI think she's ridiculous for putting something so gross up for bid, and anyone who bids on it is a freak.
