TUNE IN NEXT WEEK FOR
PAPERCLIPS OF THE STARS!
I've heard of some lame celebrity charity efforts. This takes the cake:
Staplers of the Stars Online Auction
Nov. 16 - Dec. 6, 2004
www.Staples.com
The good, old-fashioned, humble stapler is going "glam" this holiday season as more than 100 celebrities ranging from Bill Gates to Paris Hilton to Tiger Woods, lend their signatures for the "Staplers of the Stars" online charity auction created by Staples.
Celebrities from film, music, sports and business have donated autographed staplers for this charitable effort. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to charities designated by the celebrities including City of Hope, Global Green, the Harlem Boys Choir, and Staples Foundation for Learning.
Contributors to date include actors Meryl Streep, Katie Couric, Ringo Starr and Alice Cooper.
