Handbags for Haiti

Just about every celeb on planet earth has offered to help the Haiti earthquake survivors in some way. But, the winner for perhaps the most ludicrous offer appears to have been won by Scarlett Johansson.
 
Apart from promising to auction herself off for a date, the Match Point actress has promised to design an exclusive handbag to raise money for the earthquake-devastated nation.
 
The bag will be emblazoned with an ancient map of the Caribbean country, with the message 'Supporting the people of Haiti' written and signed by the Lost in Translation star. It will be available through Mango fashion stores across the world, with all profits benefiting Oxfam's relief fund for the region, which was hit by a massive tremor last month.
 
Scarlett says, "I'm thrilled to be collaborating with Mango to promote conscious consumerism and to benefit Oxfam's Haiti Earthquake Response Fund. By purchasing this bag, which I specially designed, you are helping to provide life saving assistance like clean water to the people of Haiti."
 
A designer handbag. Really?
