Ellen DeGeneres 

Shoes may not be the most impressive (or fragrant) celebrity possession to put up for charity auction, but trust us, it’s for a good cause. Stars like Ellen DeGeneres, Elton John, Joan Rivers, and Halle Berry have donated their autographed shoes for an online auction organized by Hillsides Foster Soles in Los Angeles. Proceeds from the auction will benefit foster care children and the youth living at Hillsides.
