The Cinema Against AIDS Gala for amFAR

Cause Celebs

"You know how I like to make history," amFAR champion Sharon Stone told Mischa Barton, Eva Mendes and the rest of the famous crowd at the 14th annual Cinema Against AIDS gala, held at the Moulin des Mougins in the hills above Cannes. True to her word, Stone raised a record-breaking $7 million dollars to fund the fight against AIDS by evening's end. But while the money was serious, George Clooney set the tone for a raucous night—which included an impromptu performance by Kylie Minogue and a racy act by burlesque queen Dita Von Teese—when he smooched another man's girlfriend on stage. Ooh la la indeed!
