Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway was tempted to offer herself up as a celebrity babysitter when she was caught out at a recent auction event.

The actress admits she had no idea she was expected to bring something to be auctioned to the charity gala, so she offered up herself.

And she initially hoped the lucky bidder who won her would call on her teenage babysitting skills.

The Bride Wars star says, "In the past I've auctioned off babysitting... When I babysat when I was a teenager, I charged $10 an hour... Maybe we can do a little better now".

But instead, Hathaway offered to take the winning bidder and some pals out for drinks and one rich fan snapped up the offer for $12,000.

And now she's looking forward to an expensive night out with her three new friends: "I wanna make sure they get their money's worth".
