Help Wanted

Have you ever wanted to follow up a Leann Rimes concert by having dinner with the singer herself? Or do you think you'd get a better night's sleep if you had a dented cymbal from a Garth Brooks concert resting on your nightstand? Well all that can be yours -- PLUS the satisfaction of spending for a worthy cause -- at the online TNN Prime Time Country Celebrity Auction at FirstAuction.com, which benefits the Red Cross's tornado relief efforts in Oklahoma. But you'll have to get your bids in quick: The bidding ends Thursday morning at 11:30 a.m. EST.

Rimes' Sep. 4 dinner-and-a-crooning includes airfare to Las Vegas and a room at the Hilton. As of presstime, the top bid had reached $2,270, up from its original $1,100. And a package donated by George Strait, which includes tickets to his June 6 show in Pittsburgh, backstage passes, and an autographed guitar, stands at $2,050...and rising. Explains Billy Ray Cyrus, who donated a big-screen television and six signed CDs: ''I've seen some devastating things in my time, but I've never seen anything like this catastrophe. (The tornado victims) are in dire need.''
