Carey Mulligan's Met Gala Dress Can Be Yours!

Exciting!

Carey Mulligan is auctioning off her custom, metal paillette-covered Prada dress she wore to Monday night's Met Gala!

The gown has already received 7 bids and is up to $1,025 on eBay, which isn't too shabby considering the lucky winner gets a unique piece of fashion art worn by one of Hollywood's hottest young starlets.

And the best part is that all proceeds will be donated to Oxfam, the international relief and development organization.

The auction ends May 19, so U better start bidding!

Helen Mirren Is On The Hunt For A Million Bras!

Who needs an Easter egg hunt when there's this!?

Helen Mirren is teaming up with Oxfam to launch the Big Bra Hunt to round up a million of unwanted and/or unused bras so they can be sold in West Africa — where bras are hard to come by and the money raised will make a real difference in poor communities.

The Oscar award winning actress was beyond excited to get involved with the cause, saying:

"Before I heard about this campaign I had never thought to donate my bras to Oxfam. I'm sure many women have a number of bras stowed away left untouched for years. The Big Bra Hunt really highlights how every last item donated to Oxfam can be used in a truly unique way, making a real difference to people all around the world."

Right you are, Helen because according to Oxfam the average British woman has at least 3 unused bras in their drawers.

We're not sure we have any spare bras laying around, but since Kate Moss never wears any, maybe she can donate hers?!!
