If you're a budding celebrity stalker with a keen sense of fashion or you just like buying things on eBay, Hollywood starlet Keira Knightley is making your life a little easier. Keira has donated her Vera Wang dress that snagged quite a few Best Dressed awards at this year's Academy Awards to Oxfam to help them raise money for their relief work in East Africa.

All kidding aside, it's refreshing to see a young Hollwood star with a social conscience giving back to those in need instead of reading about their partying habits and whatnot. Hats off to you Keira. The auction will run on eBay from April 21st to April 30th.

Keira's next movie is Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest due out July 7th.
