The Victoria's Secret fashion show is arguably the sexiest fashion show around. And this year, the lingerie company has landed the Spice Girls to perform on its catwalk.

Getting to the show definitely won’t come cheap, but those with deep pockets should consider taking part in a very cool charity auction that benefits Camp Heartland, a camping and outreach organization for children affected by HIV/AIDS.

Bidding on eBay starts at $25,000 for a package that includes two tickets for the Nov. 15 show at Hollywood’s Kodak Theater and the VIP after-party, gift bags, a night at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel and even a meet and greet with one of the scantily clad models.

Hot models and a good cause-how can you go wrong?

Another worthy event is set to take place three days before the Victoria’s Secret show. A roster of celebs will come together in New York City for the Adrienne Shelly Foundation's inaugural benefit.

The organization supports and promotes women filmmakers, and was founded in honor of the late Adrienne Shelly. Shelly, director of this year’s critically acclaimed Waitress, starring Keri Russell, was murdered in November by a 19-year-old construction worker.

The benefit includes a performance by Alanis Morissette and a reading of Shelly’s screenplay The Morgan Stories. The lineup also includes Matt Dillon, Edie Falco, Mary-Louise Parker, Paul Rudd, Ally Sheedy and Gina Gershon. Fisher Stevens will direct.

For tickets, go to adrienneshellyfoundation.org.

And on Sunday at the Kodak, Jamie Foxx, Sting, Joni Mitchell and Nancy Wilson will be on hand for a tribute concert for Herbie Hancock. The concert, held in conjunction with the Recording Academy’s Los Angeles chapter, benefits the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz’s education programs in L.A. and New Orleans. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.
