CLOONEY 'DATE' NIGHT AUCTION AXED

A GEORGE CLOONEY 'date' auction has been pulled from website eBay.com after a charity mix-up. Auction Charity bosses had set up the chance to accompany Clooney to his Leatherheads premiere in Los Angeles on 31 March (08) in an effort to raise cash for the Boys + Girls Club Of America. But the item was not as advertised to them, and Clooney had never agreed to walk the red carpet with the winning bidder. The auction was scheduled to go live on Thursday morning (13Mar08), but it will no longer go ahead. An Auction Cause spokesman says, "It was all a big misunderstanding. We've contacted George Clooney's representative and apologised."
