Monday, October 23, 2006NOBODY WANTS PAULA ABDUL IN MS AUCTION Singer PAULA ABDUL’s foray into the world of eBay has ended without success after an auction to win a day with the AMERICAN IDOL judge received no bids. Fox TV executives had hoped for a bidding war over the VIP package, which included two first-class tickets to Los Angeles, a £1,200 ($2,225) shopping spree, and a backstage meeting with the star. The auction was intended to raise money for multiple sclerosis charities, but the £14,000 ($26,000) asking price proved such a deterrent that the listing was removed from the site after four days. An eBay spokesperson says, "This sort of charity auction usually makes a mint. It’s kind of sad that nobody wanted to bid on Paula." |
