Date with Charilze going for $20k!

Whoever bid the highest at the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project fundraiser in New York on Monday, would get the lovely Charlize for a date to a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game.

And what did our 35-year-old home-grown honey rake in? A cool $20 thousand dollars. According to one source, "All the men in the room were doubling the bids on the courtside Lakers tickets if Charlize attended the game with them. She agreed to attend for $20 000."

She started her charity - which aims to create safer and healthier lives for at-risk children and communities in South Africa, especially those affected by HIV and Aids - in 2007, and by the looks of things it's not doing to badly.
