Do you want to talk to Penelope Cruz, Matthew McConaughey and others? Not read about them in some magazine, but actually talk to them live and unmediated? You can now. If you can outbid others for the privilege, that is. Just go to the [skype-a-celeb](http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=skype-a-celeb) auction on eBay and make your bid.

The auction terms aren't clear about whether this is just a voice call or whether it is video -- I'll try to find that out. [UPDATE: it's voice only.] Apparently, many people are up for the call, and some of the bids like Penelope Cruz and Brooke Shields are already beyond $ 1000. The auction runs until March 3, so [find out more and make your bid](http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=skype-a-celeb).
