Sure, the Tonic celebrity iPod auction series has been a smashing success. With the help of dozens of generous celebs — we’ve got the likes of Ellen Degeneres, Bill Clinton, Donna Karan, Ben Affleck, Beyonce, and Madonna lending their playlist, autographs and iPods for charity — it’s no wonder we’ve been able to raise more than $12,000 so far for Music Rising.
But we think we can do better. That’s why starting today, you can help us raise $1 million by taking part in our Celebrities-Gone-Bad Zune Charity Auction. Just look at the folks we’ve lined up, below, to take part in this one-of-a-kind effort. Make a bid on these amazingly brown, autographed music players now, because what with prison sentences and having to care for 14 kids, you never know when you may see some of these people again.
Oh, and all proceeds in this auction go to the Bernie Madoff Legal Defense Fund. Bernie even has his name on one of these Zunes.
True to the Tonic spirit, there’s a little bit of good in everything we do. Even if your name is Bernie Madoff.
There’s much more Celebrity Gone Bad goodness to come, so be sure to come back often to Tonic and bid early and often. Without further adieu, we present the Zune celebs and their playlists.
