Model/actress Elizabeth Hurley brought in the cash when she starred in Austin Powers but no such luck with her latest charity on-line auction.

Ms. Hurley has offered her services as a shop beauty consultant for her former employer, Estee Lauder. The auction will give the highest bidder a day at the Estee counter at the elite Harvey Nichols department store with the celebrity who will give beauty and grooming advice.

Many stars are auctioning off appearances and lunches for charities on-line and some have raked in the dough. A crazed fan paid $33,800 for a lunch with Charlize Theron. No such luck for Elizabeth though. After a week, the auction has one and only one bid at $6,500.
