Eliza Dushku Cleaned Out her Closet for Charity
On March 22nd, Eliza auctioned out some of her clothes to the charity, Camp Hale. Just thought you guys should see this video, because Eliza is so cute in it. Unfortunatly the acution itself is over, but you really should view this adorable video of Miss Dushku.
Eliza Auctions Off 10-Minute Interview With Her
Hoping to raise funds to benefit her favorite charity Camp Hale, Eliza Dushku offers fans a chance to interview her for 10 minutes by winning the auction on website eBay.
Actress Eliza Dushku is offering fans a chance to win a 10-minute video chat with her to raise money for charity. The "Bring It On" star has already raised $20,000 by selling screen costumes and designer outfits on auction website eBay and is capping off the sale by offering up a conversation via internet conferencing service Skype.
The highest bidder will have 10 minutes to grill the star on her career and personal life, with proceeds going to help underprivileged children attend a Massachusetts-based summer camp. She says, "One of the benefits of being an actress is all of the fancy clothes that you get sent."
The actress continues, "But everybody has to clean out their closet now and again so I'm taking this chance to let my fans go shopping in my closet while benefiting my favorite charity at the same time. Camp Hale is a summer camp in Boston that fosters individual development through outdoor programs and education. My family at Camp Hale thank you!"
Joss Whedon Making A Feature Film With Eliza Dushku?
Dollhouse's Eliza Dushku might be going back to Joss Whedon's laboratory of evil soon — she told an interviewer the duo aim to make a movie together. And she also still hopes to be in Ghostbusters 3.
Talking to HollywoodLife.com, Dushku says that she's definitely up for being one of the five new Ghostbusters who are rumored to pick up the torch from Venkman and company in the new movie. And she says her pal Dan Aykroyd wants her in the film. But she adds: "I don't know anything, I don't have a script – it's still a rumor thing right now."
Meanwhile, though, she sounds more sanguine about this mystery film project with her Dollhouse collaborator, Whedon:
"I would say that we would [be working on something new very soon]!" she confided to us. "I think we're going to work on a kickass feature together that we've been thinking about for a few years."
Note, of course, that the part where she says they'll be working on something together soon is in square brackets, meaning it's a paraphrase. (Maybe the interviewer asked "Will you work with Joss Whedon again soon?" And she replied with the part not in brackets. That's my guess, anyway.)
So what's this mystery project? Over on Whedonesque, they're speculating it could be Goners, the horror-action film that Whedon has been talking up for years, but about which we've heard nothing in recent years. Here's hoping we get more Joss and Eliza, one way or another.

Eliza Dushku reveals feisty streak
Eliza Dushku has revealed she has "schizophrenic personalities" like her Dollhouse character, Echo.
The US actress plays 'doll' Echo in the sci-fi TV series, a part written specially for her by Buffy The Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon.
"Considering that Joss sort of created the show around me and my schizophrenic personalities, I think there are a lot of parallels," she said.
"I'm a Type A control freak so when someone's trying to call me something or fit me into a square hole, I get a little feisty sometimes. There are pieces of me and there are pieces of everyone."
Eliza, who co-produces Dollhouse, reckons Joss - who she worked with on Buffy - is a dream to work with, because he writes strong female roles.
"He obviously empowers women but he also empowers everyone," she said. "When you look at his ensemble shows, whether it was focusing around Buffy or focusing on Echo, there is an unbelievable cast around both of those characters."
The 29-year-old is thrilled with the strong fanbase the show has.
"It's always flattering to have fans. I enjoy it," she said.
"I think the flipside about fans can be the intense scrutiny and sometimes I'm not very good at being scrutinised!"
