MADONNA, SHARON STONE, and DIDDY are just a few of the celebs who came together Thursday for amfAR's annual Cinema Against AIDS fundraising gala in Cannes! Would Madonna and Sharon do a duet to raise money for the organization? The Material Girl answers the fun question!
The star-studded event, which was sponsored by Bold Films, Chopard, and The Weinstein Company, raised over $10 million for amfAR's life-saving AIDS research programs. Audi, Canal +, Hewlett-Packard Company, and Luxury Limited Edition co-sponsored the event. The legendary live auction, conducted by Sharon Stone and HARVEY WEINSTEIN, kicked off with Sharon's request for special support in honor of her 50th birthday. She began with her own pledge of $100,000 and, in a moving speech, urged others in the room to meet her pledge; this joint effort raised $2 million in 10 minutes. Bidders included CHRISTOPHE NAVARRE of Moët-Hennessy, RENZO ROSSO, ROBERTO CAVALLI, RYAN KAVANAUGH, TOMMY HILFIGER and designer VALENTINO.
