Bond boss pays £19000 for a smooch from Craig, Grant and Coltrane!
NEW DELHI: All it took for Daniel Craig, Hugh Grant and Robbie Coltrane to do their bit for charity was give Bond producer Barbara Broccoli a kiss.
The three actors raised 19,000 pounds at a charity for The National Film and Television School on Tuesday night by auctioning a kiss that was bought by Broccoli.
Other items that went under the hammer and raised a good amount of cash included the dinner jacket Craig wore in his debut Bond film 'Casino Royale', which sold for 9,500 pounds.
A signed proof of the J.K. Rowling's 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' also went on auction, fetching fetched 18,000 pounds, reveals a daily.
Craig got the 'Harry Potter' memorabilia after a heated bidding war with Grant.
It was not the only defeat of the night for Grant, for he also missed out on winning two walk-on roles in a Working Title movie.
The event, hosted by Jonathan Ross, was also attended by the likes of Rowan Atkinson, Anne Robison, Richard Curtis and Lord Richard Attenborough.
In total, it raised 400,000 pounds for the school, which was double of what was being expected.

Seems a bit incestuous. I though the whole point of charity auctions was to give other people the chance to meet these celebrities, not for the celebrities to bid on themselves and avoid contact with unknowns. Reminds me of Mr Monk and his biggest fan http://www.usanetwork.com/series/monk/t ... index.html
Was this actually an auction or was it a blind bids? (Blind bids) you know where the price raises based on most the bidder is willing to pay not what the competition drives the price up to. I guess is best way to put it is the deference between eBay and other auctions styles.
Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.
