George Clooney Auctions Off a Kiss For $350,000

Thursday May 24, 2007
George Clooney recently pimped himself out in the name of AIDS research. In the process of auctioning off a vacation package, George agreed to kiss the girlfriend of the man with the winning bid. For a mere $350,000, the lucky lady, who just happened to be very easy on the eyes, claimed her prize on stage.

The event went on to raise over $7 million for amFAR, which funds ongoing AIDS research, according to People magazine. Later in the night, actress Michelle Rodriguez jokingly offered to kiss Sharon Stone in exchange for higher bids on a tennis session with Monica Seles. Much to the buyer's chagrin, the former Lost star never made good on that promise.

Kylie Minogue and Julian Lennon each sang for the guests while Dita von Teese treated them all to her trademark burlesque act. Other guests at the soiree included Matt Damon, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Mischa Barton, and Goldie Hawn.
