Crave your own special piece of Emmy memorabilia? uBid may be able to help. From today through October 7th, gowns and tuxes worn by some of last night’s Emmy celebs will be up for auction in a special event entitled “Clothes Off Our Back.”
Bradley Whitford (“The West Wing”) and Jane Kaczmarek (“Malcolm in the Middle”) organized the first time benefit to support four charities: Cure Autism Now, Heifer International, UNICEF and Union of Concerned Scientists. Fellow actors donating their duds, estimated to be worth thousands of dollars, are Martin Sheen and Richard Schiff (“The West Wing”); Patricia Heaton, Ray Romano and Brad Garrett (“Everybody Loves Raymond”); Eric McCormack, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes (“Will and Grace”); Jennifer Garner (“Alias”); Wendy Malick (“Just Shoot Me”) and Patricia Clarkson (“Six Feet Under”).
