The idea behind Charity Buzz.com, as you might imagine, is to cough up a little something for your favorite cause. It's good for the soul if you can afford to give (and I realize this is a rough time for a lot of people). Plus "this is the time of year when want is felt most deeply," as Charles Dickens once wrote. In any event I'm passing along an opportunity to have dinner with the great Eva Marie Saint. If you win out the money will go to Children's Neurobiological Solutions Foundation.

The problem is that it's a package deal -- dinner not just with Ms. Saint but also her husband, director-producer Jeffrey Hayden. I need to put this delicately but...well, three's a crowd. If I were in Jeff's position I'm sure I'd understand completely. If I were bidding I'd want to settle down with Ms. Saint and charm her into dishing the dirt about her 1950s and '60s costars -- the dirt that she refuses to get within 50 feet of in interviews (like this one with Kim Morgan).

Tell ya what, Jeff... I'll go in halfies with you on the price of dinner and you can dish away with Ms. Saint, and I'll chatter the night away with Mr. Hayden about his days on SPACE ACADEMY and get the real dirt on Jonathan Harris!

I hear Mr. Phillip Vandamm is bidding quite handsomely.

It should be noted that Jeffrey Hayden and Eva Marie Saint have been married since 1951 if IMDB is correct. I'd love to hear her talk about what it was like to do a live tv musical version of "Our Town" in 1955 with Paul Newman and Frank Sinatra.

I'm a little curious about "Meet Kelsey Grammer on the Set of his New Hit Show, 'Hank,'" considering it was cancelled last week.

Yeah, money is pretty tight for me.
Next time you're back in LA, though, Mr. Wells, I'd be glad to give $50 to the charity of your choice for conversation over dinner. Maybe you should auction yourself off to your readers.
