$52,100 for Sex and the City date

A Japanese 'Sex and the City' fan is set to pay $52,100 (€33,100) to attend the premiere of the new movie of the hit sitcom with Kristin Davis, one of the stars of the show.
The woman, who outbid dozens of other fans to the prize in an eBay auction, will also receive a professional hair and make-up styling and a pair of Jimmy Choos for the big bash on 27 May.
Davis, who played straight-laced brunette Charlotte in the series and reprises the role in the film, has revealed that she participated in the auction on behalf of the charity Oxfam America, a branch of Oxfam Worldwide.
She told US Weekly: "Oxfam's mission is to alleviate poverty and injustice by helping people learn skills and create lives.
"I just got back from Africa and saw first-hand that we're making a long-term difference. It gave me a sense of satisfaction."
