UK-The Office's Gervais will design Manbag for charity

Ricky Gervais of The Office and Extras fame is going to design a man purse -- but it's for a good cause.

The U.K.'s Prostrate Cancer Charity (part of the Charity Aids Foundation) asked television stars and other celebrities to design a man's handbag for The Manbag Company.

Each unique design will be auctioned off to fight prostate cancer.Of course, Gervais is a funny man and a cool, self-effacing celeb. But, it'll be interesting to see if even he can make something as inherently uncool as a man purse into swag a guy will want to spend money on -- cancer be damned.

Other celebrities (and pseudo-celebrities) joining Gervais in the bag designing business include Spandau Ballet, Depeche Mode, Alan Carr and Jade Jagger.Sure, it's all for a great cause and should be a huge success.

But, there will always be men out there who'd rather risk prostate cancer than be seen with a Manbag.
