Celebrity Leg Power
Celebrities are shedding their blue jeans and other pants - ranging from tuxedo slacks to bathing trunks - to raise money to fight multiple sclerosis, and you can own a pair, or two or three.
A long list of big names in the movies, television, music, comedy, sports, and even politics are donating jeans to be auctioned off on the Internet.
Those who wind up with the winning bids will also get a bonus: the autograph of the celebrity whose legs once filled the pants, which now bear the signature of their former owners.
The proceeds of the auction will go to the Southern California Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
The many celebs donating their duds include: Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Faith Hill, Freddie Prinze Junior, Cuba Gooding Junior, Drew Barrymore, Jodie Foster, John Travolta, Busta Rhymes, Jennifer Love Hewitt, supermodel Claudia Schiffer, Warren Beatty, Rosie O'Donnell, basketball star Kobe Bryant, Vikings receiver Chris Carter, hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, camp TV star Elvira, Bob Denver of Gilligan's Island fame, James Bond's Timothy Dalton, Shaft legend Richard Roundtree, Harrison Ford, Sylvester Stallone, Jane Seymour, Jodie Foster, Danny DeVito, Whoopi Goldberg, Dennis Miller, Cheech Marin , Robin Williams, George Lucas, Oliver Stone, Penny Marshall, David Lynch and Los Angeles mayor Richard Riordan.
There are plenty of others, of course. Some clothing donors just couldn't resist making a mischievous twist on the theme of the auction, which had most folks donate signed pairs of jeans. Danny DeVito put up a signed pair of bathing trunks. David Letterman couldn't be persuaded to part with a pair of pants, but in honor of his production company, Worldwide Pants, he's pitching in with a signed David Letterman Show jacket.
