Paula
Abdul Snubbed on eBay Auction
10/16/06
American Idol
judge 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 $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 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."
