Charlize Theron was hosting the OneXOne charity event in San Francisco this weekend when she became frustrated that her all inclusive trip to South Africa, which she donated to the auction, only raised $37,000, which was far far below what Jeremy Piven had just raised.
Reportedly her exact words were,
“For f**k’s sake! You can do better. There is no way I am leaving here with Jeremy Piven getting a higher bid.”
Charlize then decided to throw in a kiss to get people to bid higher, and higher they did bid!
A woman bid $140,000 and went onstage to kiss Charlize for a total of 20 seconds!
They say you can’t put a price on love, but apparently you can put a price on a celeb date. Called the “Dream Dinner Date,” MyWorkButterfly.com is auctioning off an all expense paid trip to L.A. to go on a lavish date with Nick Lachey at a hip L.A. restaurant.
Not only will the winner of the “Dream Dinner Date” experience a night on the town with Nick, but she also will have roundtrip travel to L.A. with JetBlue, a $500 shopping spree to Club Monaco, LA, a luxury one night stay in one of L.A.’s finest hotels, and a goody bag from MyWorkButterfly.com.
For a chance to go on the date with the pop star, bids will begin today at 10pm (EST), and will continue until October 1. All proceeds of the auction will go to VH1’s Save the Music Foundation, dedicated to funding instrumental music education in the public schools of America, and raising the awareness of musical instruction in a child’s education.
