Lindsay Lohan, Taylor Swift and Jessica Simpson are all auctioning their carry-on flight luggage for charity.
The stars are among 50 who have donated signed luggage - including briefcases, carry-on cases, party purses and guitar cases - to an auction by JetBlue Airways, which will donate 100 percent of the proceeds to their charity partner, DoSomething.org.
Icema Gibbs, spokesperson for the JetBlue said: "Celebrity baggage is some of the most intriguing, highly-coveted and photographed accessories to ever fly in and out of LAX and across our network. "Thanks to the generosity of these celebrities, we are excited to give everyone the opportunity to take home a piece of that magic while supporting a great cause."
Some celebrities have attached personal things to their bags, such as Donald Trump, who is donating a signed Attache case from Zero Halliburton with two VIP tickets for this year's Miss USA Pageant 2011 and afterparty in Las Vegas.
'Jersey Shore' star Pauly D is offering a signed photo, a shirt and hair gel alongside his bag. Alongside Lindsay's bag, she is offering a poster for her film 'Mean Girls' and a signed My Scene Goes Hollywood Lindsay Lohan doll.
Other celebrity donors include Chelsea Handler, Jordin Sparks, Kellan Lutz, Kelly Osbourne, Rosario Dawson and Ryan Seacrest.
Bids are being accepted over two seven day auction periods, with the first set open now, and the second to open on May 30. For more information or to bid, visit www.jetblue.com/celebritybaggage.
