Would you pay $5,300 for the used tissue of Scarlett Johansson?

Even for someone considered to be "the most beautiful woman in Hollywood", it's crazy to think that someone would spend so much of their own hard-earned money to own someone else's hardening snot.

Such is the magic of celebrity, I suppose!

Times may be tough all over this holiday season, but that didn't stop an anonymous bidder from digging deep into their pockets to place the winning bid of $5,300 on Scarlett Johansson's used tissue!

Last week, a sniffly and sneezy ScarJo appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The actress explained to Jay that she had likely caught the bad cold from her Spirit co-star Samuel L. Jackson. She told Leno that for this reason, her cold had some "value," and after the host offered her a tissue for a bit of nose-blowing, it was decided that the snotty bit of flimsy paper should be auctioned off on eBay, with all proceeds from the auction to benefit USA Harvest.
