There is a Groupon to Meet Brad Pitt

That'll teach you to auto-direct your Groupon e-mails to your spam folder. The same deal-of-the-day Web site that offers discounted teeth cleanings and lipo-reduction treatments is now offering users the chance for a glamorous Hollywood meet and greet with Brad Pitt.

This morning, the site unveiled a new deal benefiting Brad Pitt's Make It Right foundation, which provides affordable and eco-friendly housing for people in need. By donating $10 directly to the foundation via Groupon in the next two weeks, users will automatically be entered to win a trip for two to meet Pitt himself at the Make It Right Gala in New Orleans next month.

In addition to the opportunity to hang out with Pitt, the package includes coach airfare to New Orleans for the weekend, a two-night hotel stay at the W New Orleans, a private tour of Make It Right's 9th Ward site, and the option to volunteer while there. While it does not say whether Brad Pitt's significant other will be at the gala, Groupon does confirm that both Bruno Mars and Kings of Leon will be playing at the event.

If users wish to bypass the hoards of $10 donors and improve their chance of meeting Brad Pitt (and, you know, support a good cause), Groupon kindly offers users "an epic deal." By paying $25,000, they can get all of the above plus first-class flight and hotel accommodations. Only nine of these epic-deal packages are available.

A slight cautionary warning, though: in the chance that you do win the chance to fly to New Orleans, there is a small possibility you will not actually get to shake Pitt's hand and talk to him about all of the things you have in common-an interest in furniture design, an attraction to Angelina Jolie, etc. Groupon warns users at the bottom of the offer: "Meet-and-greet with Brad Pitt is contingent on the availability of all parties."

Earlier this month, George Clooney also hit the fan-appearance-for-charity circuit, auctioning off a dream date to a complete stranger in support of his Satellite Sentinel Project.
