Showing support for the earthquake-stricken country, the leading lady of 'The Last Song' gathers items from fellow A-listers for an Internet bidding war set to start on February 8.

Teen star Miley Cyrus has her own way in helping the victims of Haiti earthquake. The 17-year-old songstress has been contacting her celebrity friends to join her in a charity work to support the Haiti relief effort, asking them to donate items for an online auction set to start on February 8 on eBay.

"Everyone has been so generous," the Disney star told People magazine about her effort in gathering items from several celebrities. "My mom and I started calling and texting all of our friends to see if they'd like to be a part of the auction." She further added that Demi Lovato "was one of the first to respond" and that "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" star Hugh Jackman "was also excited to donate something."

In addition to Lovato and Jackman, several others have also donated their belongings for the Internet bidding war. Nicole Richie donated jewelry from her House of Harlow line, while her beau Joel Madden donated some of his clothes. Britney Spears also joined the cause by offering up the custom silver minidress she wore to the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.

Miley Cyrus herself will auction off the Herve Leger dress she wore to the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night, January 31. "I want to get people involved and show that even the little things you can do can make a difference," the "Hannah Montana" star explained her decision in holding the auction. All proceeds from the online auction will go the American Red Cross.
