Wanna have lunch with Anderson Cooper?

You can, but it’ll cost ya.

The silver fox will be up for grabs later this month at the 20th annual auction and party benefiting New York's AIDS housing organization Bailey House. The starting bid for eats with Mr. Cooper hasn’t been announced yet, but he’ll likely go for a high price. Last year, he went for $21,000!

Also on the auction block is a sleepover with Val Kilmer. Okay, not with the Doors actor but at his New Mexico ranch. The package includes a week’s lodging in a one-bedroom casita on Kilmer’s 6,000-acre spread overlooking the Pecos River, outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The minimum bid is $6,000.

Hosts for the Feb. 28 gala at New York’s Puck Building include Project Runway’s Tim Gunn, interior design impresario Jonathan Adler, Barneys New York creative guru Simon Doonan and fashion designer John Bartlett.
