Scarlett Johansson's used tissue has raised $5,300 for charity.
US TV network NBC put the soiled tissue on auction website eBay after 'The Spirit' star appeared on 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno' last week, and have now raised the staggering amount for food-gathering charity USA Harvest.
According to eBay, bidding for the sneeze debris started at $0.99 but jumped to $4,050 just hours before the auction ended. The final price was reached after 83 bids were placed.
Bidders had to be pre-approved before they could put in an offer, and the lucky recipient will remain anonymous.
Meanwhile, Scarlett has appeared on Maxim magazine's Young Hot Hollywood 2009 list, compiled of stars they believe "will be leading Hollywood's new guard of A-list icons".
The 24-year-old actress features alongside seven other female celebrities in the January 2009 issue of the men's publication, including 'Gossip Girl' star Blake Lively, 'High School Musical' beauty Vanessa Hudgens and singer Katy Perry.
Other stars to appear on the list were 'House' star Olivia Wilde, 'Heroes' beauty Hayden Panettiere, reality TV starlet Audrina Partridge and 'Umbrella' singer Rihanna.

LOL! If she really is a clone the winner should be able to get their money back with paypal 'item not as described' complaint.
Meanwhile, I feel there is an actress, a tv show host, and a charity who have all lost some credibility or respect over this entire disgusting little sham.
(ebay lost theirs some time ago.) ebay has a policy against selling human body parts and/or waste. Why did they allow this?
Why wouldn't the celebrities just donate the money directly? Surely they have the means?
It would seem this was some sort of embedded advertising gimmick. No other explanation is plausible.

I'd like inform you that Scarlett Johansson (actress)actually is a clone from original person,who has nothing with acting career.Clone was created illegally using stolen biomaterial.Original Scarlett Galabekian last name is nice, CHRISTIAN young lady.I'll tell more,those clones(it's not only 1)made in GERMANY-world leader manufacturer of humans clones,it's in Ludwigshafen am Rhein,Rhineland-Palatinate,Mr.Helmut Kohl home town.You can't even imaging the scale of the cloning activity.But warning,H.Kohl staff strictly controlling their clones spreading around the world,they're NAZI type disciplined and mind controlled,be careful get close with clones you will be controlled too.Original family didn't authorize any activity with stolen biomaterials,no matter what form it was created in,it's all need to be back to original family control in Cedars-Sinai MedicalCenter in LA.Controlling clones is US military operation.Original Scarlett never was engaged,by the way
