Walk the red carpet with Leonardo DiCaprio
What would you pay to walk the red carpet with Leonardo DiCaprio? The actor is auctioning off the chance to do just that at the premiere of Martin Scorsese's made-in-Massachusetts movie "Shutter Island." The highest bidder also wins travel accommodations to and from the event in an eco-car (of course) and lodging at a so-called green hotel. Bidding on the eBay auction begins at 7 p.m. today and runs through April 22 - yes, Earth Day - with all proceeds benefiting Global Green USA, a environmental nonprofit on whose board Gisele Bundchen's former boyfriend sits. "Shutter Island," starring DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, and Ben Kingsley, opens Oct. 2.
