Celeb2nds.com – a website that specializes in celebrity charity auctions – is currently holding an amazing sale of celebrity-signed items for the Children with AIDS (CWAC) charity.

There is a huge amount of books going under the hammer at the site, including titles signed by Ted Turner, Richard Branson, Michael Parkinson, Geri Halliwell, Piers Morgan, Terry Pratchett, Chris Tarrant, Jeffrey Archer, Maeve Binchy, Bernard Cornwall, Barbara Taylor Bradford, Paul Auster and many others.

For autograph hunters who are looking for signed photos, there is a massive selection including pictures signed by Terry Wogan, Moby, Davina McCall, Lorraine Kelly, Tess Daly, David Gower, Rio Ferdinand, Boris Johnson and a particularly revealing signed shot of Danielle Lloyd.

And for Star Wars fans, the auction also gives you the opportunity to pick up a C3PO toy signed by Anthony Daniels, who played the droid in all six films.

Also up for offer – and reported by Look To The Stars last month – is a rare copy of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows signed by JK Rowling.

The items were collected by Richard Barker, who was inspired by the stories of young people that had been infected and affected by HIV, and was nominated as Britain’s Most Inspiring Fundraiser in 2008. Barker created The Make A Child Smile Appeal and has raised over ten thousand pounds for CWAC. As a Non-Executive Director of Celeb2nds he’s able to raise money for lots of worthy causes.

Children with AIDS Charity (CWAC) was set up in 1992 to help the youngest of those infected or affected by HIV/AIDS maintain a good quality of life. It is a national UK charity with the aim of working towards a future without poverty or prejudice for these children and their families. Patrons include George Michael, Diana Rigg, and Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon.

Celeb2nds.com was set up in 2006 by Steve Howell to specifically raise much needed funds for charities using authentic celebrity memorabilia.

“Celeb2nds.com is an exciting new concept that allows users to get their hands on money can’t buy items from their celebrity idols, whilst raising money for some very worthy charities,” he said.

Celebrities famed for their extreme shopping could be feeling a little more saintly this year thanks to a new online shopping service that could turn them into some of the Britain’s biggest charity givers.

Hundreds of different retailers, including Tesco, Nike and Miss Selfridge are already signed up and Danielle hopes that other celebs – and anyone who loves spending – will follow suit and complete their Christmas shopping online via aGoodCause.co.uk.

She said: “I am really excited to be working with aGoodCause.co.uk. I always spend more than I should on Christmas presents, and by using the website I can continue to do so knowing that some of the money is going to charity.”

After downloading a piece of free software from the website, whenever you shop with one of the 570 online retailers that have joined the initiative, they will donate a percentage of what you spend to your chosen charity – without you spending a penny extra.

Among the 200+ charities already signed up to receive donations via aGoodCause.co.uk are Help the Aged, Marie Curie Cancer Care, Christian Aid and Against Breast Cancer.

Danielle Lloyd Gives Back To Linda McCartney Centre

English glamour model and reality TV star Danielle Lloyd has donated all of her winnings from Celebrity Big Brother and The Weakest Link to a hospital.

The 24-year-old former Miss Great Britain has given $117,000 to the Royal Liverpool University Hospital to fund a specialist cancer detecting scanner for the Linda McCartney Centre, the facility’s breast cancer research department. The star said she wanted to donate the money after being treated at the centre three years ago, following the discovery of a lump in her breast.

“To find a lump at 21 was scary,” she said. “The specialists were fantastic and I wanted to do something to help others. I wanted to buy them something that would help the women of Liverpool.”

The scanner will diagnose specimens taken from patients and scan them for tiny growths in the operating theatre after they have been surgically removed to make sure no potentially dangerous cells are left behind.

And Lloyd is not stopping there with her generosity.

“The unit really needs another scanner,” she said. “So the money I have just made from my stint on Gladiators will buy the second one.”

Danielle Lloyd also wants people to join her at the Linda McCartney Centre’s Field of Women event on Sunday, July 6, at Liverpool Cricket Ground, where 10,000 people will unite in show of support for breast cancer sufferers and try to raise almost $2 million.

“My family and I are hugely involved with the cause and we all wear the pink lady badges to promote it,” she said. “We need everyone who has ever been affected or knows someone who has been affected by breast cancer to take part and register at www.fieldofwomen.com.”
