Take lessons with Agassi or co-star with Johnny Depp

I don't live in a world where I can bid $70,000 for a one-hour tennis lesson with Andre Agassi or $32,000 to debut in a Johnny Depp movie, but I imagine some folks around here might actually inhabit that rarefied echelon.

Picture

So I figured I'd pass along the word about the RFK Online auction (benefiting the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial, the international human rights advocacy group founded in honor of JFK's brother).

Not everything on the 100-item-plus auction block costs as much as a downpayment on a townhouse.

There is a "Be a Hollywood Hotshot" package currently going for $2,750 that includes a red-carpet meet-and-greet with Will Smith, a two-night stay at the Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, "premiere pampering courtesy of Frederic Fekkai Beverly Hills, the ultimate full-service beauty retreat in the heart of Beverly Hills," and many other perks.

As of Thursday afternoon, a poster signed by the cast of "30 Rock" was going for $250, a chat with Suze Orman was holding at $450 and a lunch with The Washington Post's Bob Woodward was up to $1,100.

College students who can muster $1,000 can bid on a New York-based publicity team internship with Columbia Tristar Marketing Group, which has recently worked on such marketing campaigns as "Spider-Man 3," "Casino Royale" and "Superbad."

The auction ends May 7.
