Ricky Gervais, Scarlett Johansson, Usher, Bruno Mars, Kevin McKidd and other great celebrities are “loosening up” and ditching their ties in aid of Cahonas Scotland’s celebrity e-bay auction helping in the battle to raise awareness of Male Cancers.

Opening to the public at www.loosenupauction.com on November 24th, the auction is part of Cahonas Scotland’s aims to erase stigma often attached to male cancers.

Many Scottish celebrities have rallied round the cause with donations from Kevin McKidd, Amy MacDonald, Ian Rankin, Kenny Logan and many more.

Bidders also have the chance to own some unique items including Ricky Gervais’s signed tie worn at the Golden Globes 2011 and signed Nike Air Jordan’s worn on tour by R & B artist Usher.  Other items include a tie worn by Bruno Mars on Saturday Night Live, a signed and worn tie from Sopranos star James Gandolfini and a Dolce and Gabbana tie kindly donated and signed by Scarlett Johansson.
