With her marriage to Peter Cook over, Christie Brinkley is ready to move on by getting rid of her past.
In fact, she's tossing out the wedding dress she wore when marrying Cook.
But Brinkley's using this opportunity for good, and she's going to auction off her outfit and donate the money to charity.
Along with several items from her closet, Christie is auctioning off the white Armani suit, a blazer and skirt, she wore at her wedding.
The bidding started at $300 and 85% of the proceeds will help benefit the American Red Cross to help the efforts in Haiti.
To bid on Brinkely's dress, along with several of her designer outfits, shoes, sunglasses, and jewelry, check out ClothesOffOurBack.org.
What do U think of her wedding outfit?
For those animal and fashion lovers, here's a way to lend a helping hand.
Maggie Mae Designs and Old Friends have teamed together to create a special series of Derby hats inspired by retired racehorses.
Maggie Mae Designs, which creates hats and accessories, is pairing with Old Friends, an equine farm which specializes in rescuing retired Thoroughbreds, to prevent the slaughter and mistreatment of the racehorses.
Those interested in helping can visit the Old Friends ebay store to bid on the latest hat creations.
The current auction, which runs from March 1st through the 11th, will have all proceeds going towards Old Friends.
Weeks after the horrible earthquake in Haiti, it's nice to see people still trying to lend a hand.
And All-American Rejects star Tyson Ritter is doing his part to spread the word for help and ask for donations.
In fact, Ritter is working on a benefit shirt for Haiti through a non-profit organization called the Health & Education Relief Organization (HERO) with proceeds going to help those in need.
HERO has actually been helping the Haitan people for the past five years by providing healthcare and hope for the kids in Haiti as well as by helping with various rebuilding projects.
So if you'd like to donate and help spread awareness, get yourself one of the shirts at DontHateOnHaiti.com.
We'll be wearing ours soon.
Scarlette Johansson is using her designing skills for good.
The face of Mango has just designed a limited edition tote bag to help raise funds for Haiti.
The tote will be sold exclusively at Mongo stores worldwide starting in March with all profits going to help those devastated by the earthquake.
Says the cutie in a statement:
"I'm thrilled to be collaborating with Mango to promote conscious consumerism and to benefit Oxfam's Haiti Earthquake Response Fund.
By purchasing this bag, which I specially designed, you are helping to provide life saving assistance like clean water to the people of Haiti."
The bag is priced at $29.90 and features the message: "Supporting the people of Haiti."
Will U buy one?
Blink 182 is selling $15 T-shirts for Haiti relief, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Red Cross.
Since this is a great cause and extremely generous, we'll resist the temptation to ponder their pop cultural relevance these days.
The shirts feature the Blink 182 rabbit, apparently their logo, carrying a Haitian flag.
As of last night, the band had already raised $30,000, according their Twitter account.
Good for them!!
The shirts are available through the band's website and are a very cheap and easy way to give back to Haiti.
Check it out!
