Richard Gere for charity

Richard
Gere
is
selling
himself
for
charity.
The
'Pretty
Woman'
actor
is
offering
fans
the
chance
to
have
a
private
lunch
with
him
in
an
online
auction.
The
unique
experience
is
one
of
over
a
hundred
lots
going
under
the
hammer
in
aid
of
the
Robert
F.
Kennedy
Memorial,
a
human
rights
organisation
founded
in
1968
to
continue
the
legacy
of
the
assassinated
US
senator.
The
chance
to
have
lunch
with
Gere
at
his
as
yet
unopened
New
York
restaurant
is
currently
going
for
$13,500
but
it
has
by
no
means
attracted
the
highest
bid.
That honour goes to former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan who is offering breakfast or tea with himself and his journalist wife Andrea Mitchell at Washington's Four Seasons hotel. The highest bid is currently $45,000. Other amazing lots include a walk on part in Desperate Housewives, a lunch date with Robin Williams, a day with skater Tony Hawk, a guided tour of Martha Stewart's New York gardens and a meeting with William Shatner on the set of his hit show 'Boston Legal'.
The auction - organised Kennedy's widow Ethel Kennedy - will run on www.charitybuzz.com till April 6, and new experiences are added everyday. Film fans may be interested in the chance to have VIP access to either the 2008 Sundance Film Festival or the Tribecca 2007 Filmfest, and red carpet followers can bid for exclusive access to the Emmys with TV network Entertainment Tonight. There are also plenty of lots for sports fanatics, who can bid for VIP tickets to the Indy 500, to be golfer Greg Norman's guest at his Florida golf tournament or play tennis with John McEnroe.
