Hollywood socialite-turned-reality TV star Kim Kardashian is cleaning out her closet for charity.

The former best friend of Paris Hilton, Kardashian will auction off Jimmy Choo boots, Chanel bags and various designer dresses and accessories to raise cash for the Dream Foundation, which grants wishes to the terminally ill.

Kardashian will also take a winning bidder out for lunch and a shopping spree at her DASH store in Calabasas, California.

She says, "It's going to be amazing! These are some of my favourite items...Plus, (you can) bid to have a fantastic lunch with me and my sisters, followed by some personal shopping help from us at our store."

And she's urging other celebrities to follow her lead and use eBay.com's Giving Works resource to help raise cash for unwanted items.

She adds, "You get to do something good... and look good doing it. And, in case you didn't know, anytime you sell something on eBay, you can donate a percentage of your proceeds to charity. So clean out those closets and get rid of last season's clothes for a great cause."

Kardashian's eBay.com auction begins on Thursday night.
