FRI 7 CHARITY

TheLunchboxAuction.org

Michael Stipe, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kanye West and Rachael Ray lead a list of more than 100 celebs who’ve designed lunchboxes that will be auctioned online beginning Friday at midnight at thelunchboxauction.org to starve out hunger locally and abroad. Proceeds benefit two hunger-relief organizations – Food Bank for New York City and The Lunchbox Fund. Buyers beware – previous years saw a Stipe design go for $20,000 and a Bill Clinton box fetch $11,000, which is an awful lot of milk money.
