Press Release Body: NEW YORK, November 6, 2007 -- The Adrienne Shelly Foundation
(ASF), a tax-exempt, non-profit organization dedicated to the memory of
writer/director/actor Adrienne Shelly, has announced the November 12th launch of its

women filmmakers. The auction will include approximately 25 celebrity items and
experiences; TV and movie walk-on roles; VIP show tickets with meet and greets; and

Hines, Rosanna Arquette, Keri Russell, Paul Rudd and Jeremy Sisto, as well as VIP

hosts of The View and the rock band Maroon 5. There are also signed items from
celebrities that include Matt Dillon, Richard Pryor and the Halo 3 XBOX 360 game

was an "EBAY POWER SELLER", an elite status reserved for only the most active
sellers of merchandise,\" said Andy Ostroy, ASF\'s Founder and Executive Director, as
well as Ms. Shelly\'s husband. \"Operating under the name BUNNYSVINTAGE, Adrienne in
her spare time sold over 1900 vintage clothing items. We\'ve taken that same passion
and dedication which she had for EBAY and created a very special auction in her
honor.\"

www.Ebay.com/AS_Foundation (Ebay.com/AS_Foundation). The auction will go live the
evening of November 12, the same night ASF will be holding its inaugural Fundraising
