NEW YORK —

A Japanese fan of the 1990s TV series “Sex And The City” has paid $52,100 for two VIP tickets accompanying Kristin Davis to the New York premiere of the hit TV show’s upcoming movie spin-off. The woman, whose identity is unknown, outbid other wealthy “Sex And The City” fans to land the prize in the charity auction on website eBay. The $52,100 raised will go to charity Oxfam. The winning bidder and a friend will have their hair and make-up professionally styled, receive a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes and accompany Davis down the red carpet at the May screening.

Davis recently said, “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 firsthand that we’re making a long-term difference. It gives me a sense of satisfaction.”

The actress has become the latest in a long line of celebrities auctioning off movie premiere dates for Oxfam - Colin Firth offered one last month and one Scarlett Johansson fan recently bid $40,100 to accompany her to a film premiere in 2009.

    It's nice this nameless bidder can kill two birds with one stone: appear with her favorite star and provide assistance to impoverished people.

    Of the 4, my first pick would have been Kirsten Davis. Not hard.

    $52,000? That's nothing. They could get at least $100,000 if Sarah Jessica Parker promises NOT to attend.
