Scarlett Johansson puts snotty tissue on eBay
The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — How snotty: Scarlett Johansson blew her nose on a tissue, and now the tissue is being sold on eBay.

Johansson appeared on NBC's "Tonight" show Wednesday to promote her new movie, "The Spirit." The actress said she'd caught a cold from co-star Samuel L. Jackson, and felt her illness had value because it had been passed down from one celebrity to another.

Host Jay Leno then handed her a tissue, and Johansson announced she would sell it on eBay to raise money for the hunger relief charity USA Harvest. She blew twice, depositing some lipstick and mucus.

As of Thursday morning, the dirty tissue had snagged more than 60 bids, with the highest bidder putting up $2,050. The online auction ends Monday.

  • It was all very innocent - and I thought it was funny when Jay suggested this to her. The money goes to charity, so why get so upset?
    If someone wants to buy it - that's their privledge and the charity will benefit from it!

  • In other news, actress Scarlet Johansson announced that she will auction a steaming pile of her very own sh*t on eBay, all for a very good cause, of course.

    • She just thinks it has value; some idiot (actually a number of them) are willing to pay that much, thus making it worth that much.
