TVâs Punky Brewster To Auction Her Eggs On eBay
Soleil Moon Frye, the actress known to millions as 1980s TV moppet Punky Brewster, has decided to sell something very personal on eBay. No, itâs not those miss-matched sneakers from her starring role; The actress, now 37, recently put her eggs up for auction on eBay with a starting bid of $10.âI was hoping the openingÂ bid would be more than $100, said Frye, âbut I understand. I donât have the eggs of a 20-year-old anymore. If I was a younger actress, like Jennifer Lawrence or Shia La Beouf, I bet Iâd be able to get maybe ten or eleven thousand per egg. Itâs much like how Hollywood operates,â she added.Comments left by bidders ranged from the curious to the confused. ebayBetsy100 wrote âI was a big fan of Punky Brewster when I was a kid. If I use one of your eggs, will my baby be abandoned by the father, like Punky was? That would be so unfair to the child, no matter who the father is.âProbuyer77 wrote: âI hope I win the bid because I want my daughter to be a famous person (or son). Will you be a surroget [sic] mother or will I have to carry the child? I would pay extra if you were the birth mother if I win your egg.âSeveral users were actually more surprised with the fact that you could sell your own eggs on eBay than they were that Frye was selling hers. âWow, I could probably make a fortune selling my eggs,â said eBay user quickcash666. âI mean hell, I get new ones every month anyway. I didnât know that was allowed on eBay, or is [Soleil]Â just allowed to because she was famous once three decades ago? Celebrities get all the luck.âFrye hopes her auction will bring awareness to the problem of infertility. âIâve always been a trend setter,â she said. âIâve always been unique. I was the only kid named Soleil in my classes all throughout school. Even if I donât make a lot of money from this auction, I hope I can bring awareness to people facing reproductive difficulties. I mean, Iâve got three kids, so I know my eggs work just fine, but if just one of my eggs can complete a family, that would be enough reward for me, even though the money would be a bonus.âFrye may get her wish. After completing this interview with Empire News, the actress was contacted by Michelle Duggar, star of the reality series 19 Kids and Counting. âThey offered me a spot on the show,â said an excited Frye. âThis will bring the awareness I was talking about and get me back into my acting, so itâs a win-win! They even mentioned a spin-off show called Fryeâd Eggs! Their show is very popular and the Duggars said if the auction doesnât go as well as I hope it will, they will buy my eggs directly! I guess the only thing we didnât discuss was if Iâm going to be, like, the 20th kid and counting or not.âThe high bid for Fryeâs eggs was $477.01 at the time of this storyâs posting.
