Scarlett Johansson sells herself on eBay

Tbdscarlettjohansson030408 All you desperate and lonely guys out there better empty your piggy banks, because Scarlett Johansson is available for one night only.

The actress is auctioning herself on eBay to raise money for Oxfam, which “delivers development programs and emergency relief services, and campaigns for change in global practices and policies that keep people in poverty,” according to the auction. (Place your bids here.) But dudes! A date with ScarJo!

The winner will get a chauffered car and a hand-written note from Scarlett, which sounds disappointing but is a lot better than Kristin Davis’ offer of two tix to the Sex and the City June premiere in New York and a pair of Jimmy Choos (Mrs. Juice* may disagree). And actually, it's more of a meet-and-greet than a date, and you'll have to sit through the red-carpet premiere of He's Just Not That Into You, but beggars can't be choosers.

The bidding opened Monday morning, and by noon had pulled together a measly $200. But since bidding is open until March 12, we figure it just may pull in a little more. It has to do better than the $8,000 Colin Firth won with two tickets to the London premiere of Mamma Mia this July.
