Ryan is auctioning off tickets to the upcoming premieres of both movies he stars in: X: Men Origins: Wolverline, and The Proposal. And what’s better is that it’s for a good cause!
Ryan is raising money for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinsons Research, a cause very near and dear to his heart. Ryan’s father also struggles with the disease, and Ryan even ran the NYC marathon last year to raise money.
According to the foundation, lucky bidders for the Wolverine tickets will have the honor of attending the April 28th premiere at the Mann Chinese Theater in Hollywood, and be seated near Ryan.
The winner of tickets to The Proposal will be seated in the very same row as Reynolds at the film's June 1st premiere, and will also be invited to the exclusive after party.
So what are you waiting for? The current asking price is $1100, so click here to place your bid!

It’s still unknown who leaked it, but the matter is being investigated. In fact, the FBI is on the case! They are helping the Motion Picture Association and Twentieth Century Fox to figure out who is responsible.
Hugh spoke out about the issue at a press conference for the film in Sydney, Australia. Hugh was there to unveil 20 minutes of completed footage of the film to 600 fans.
He said, "It's a serious crime and there's no doubt it's very disappointing -- I was heartbroken by it. Obviously people are seeing an unfinished film. It's like a Ferrari without a paint job."
The finished film is due out on May 1st. We think that despite the leak, there will be a lot of people going to see this film! A shirtless Hugh Jackman is sure to draw in the moviegoers.

According to BBC News, an incomplete version of Wolverine was leaked online, with special effects and all, and the copy was uploaded to file sharing and streaming video sites.
Though unfinished, the film is said to be high quality, and the special effects just need a little fine-tuning. Over 75,000 copies of the film have already been downloaded and reviews by users have started appearing online.
But the early leak is unlikely to affect box office sales. Users have left comments about the unfinished copy like :"The CGI is missing and the movie looks horrible without it. Even if you see the workprint you're still going to have to go see it in the theatre to fully experience the full movie with CGI effects fully intact." The source of the leak is being investigated, and it’s thought that Rising Sun Pictures has something to do with it, since their watermark is shown at the beginning of the copy. Rising Sun is the Australian visual effects company that worked on Wolverine and is currently in production on Terminator, which will be X-Men’s direct competition at the box office this summer. In related news, Hugh Jackman announced on Ryan Seacrest this morning that there will be a contest to determine where the premiere for the movie will be held. Fans can vote for their hometown or favorite city on the official movie site. Jackman says, "The town that has the most amount of votes is going to get us there .I hope we go to someplace I've never been in my life before."
