A tissue used by Scarlett Johansson has been sold for over £3,000.

The actress-turned-singer put the disposable handkerchief up for sale after using it on Jay Leno's talk show 'Tonight', after claiming she caught the cold that induced her sneezing session from actor Samuel L Jackson.

The tissue was sold on eBay for $5,300 (£3,500), with the money raised going to hunger charity USA Harvest.

This proves how dumb she is and how dumb all those ebayer's who took part are. What those people don't know is the germs on the tissue originated from a piece of dog shit and jumped to Samuel Jackson's body and then to hers. Am i supposed to think germs from a person who makes money acting in films are some how special ?Have fun with those famous dog shit movie star germs

"it's probs not even real"-----------------------------------------It is real. She blew her nose into the handkerchief, put it in a plastic bag and wrote her signature on it, it was all taped live on the Jay Leno show to prove to the world that it's really hers. Of course it's real. "This proves how dumb she is and how dumb all those ebayer's who took part are."-----------------------------------No reason to be negative, people. Scarlett and Leno are doing this for a good cause, doing it for charity and donating the money for the hunger at the USA Harvest. Don't you guys in NME have any compassion for the hunger? Unfortunately, not. You just shit on every article being posted in NME like the usual.
