NEW YORK — CBS is auctioning off everything but the kitchen sink to benefit the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation — and promote the network's new fall season.

The network is putting up for bid on eBay from today through Sept. 26 a slew of CBS memorabilia and celebrity experiences, such as David Caruso's "CSI: Miami" sunglasses or dinner with Rupert Boneham of "Survivor: All-Stars" fame.

Not hungry for dinner with Boneham? Not a "Survivor" fan? Take a tour of the "Big Brother" house instead.

There is a wedding dress from "The Bold and the Beautiful" and one from "Guiding Light."

There are signed photos of CBS cast members and tickets, too. Access to the 100th "CSI" episode party, the "Survivor: Vanuatu — Islands of Fire" finale and the Country Music Awards show will be available.

Depp works on accent

VENICE, Italy — Johnny Depp, who plays the author of "Peter Pan" in his latest picture, "Finding Neverland," discussed the Scottish accent he assumes for his role as J.M. Barrie.

"Musically, rhythmically, I initially couldn't quite get ahold of it," he said. "Luckily, I found this dialect coach who helped me out a great deal. ... Also, we had a couple of crew guys who were Scottish who picked up the falsities."

"Neverland" opens in November.
