A kiss from George Clooney was just one of the thing that helped raise a record $7 million for AIDS research last night at the annual Cinema Against AIDS. As Clooney and his star-studded castmates from the upcoming Ocean's Thirteen were auctioning off a seven day private Mediterranean cruise, host Sharon Stone announced:
"If you bid, one of these guys will come down and touch you. And you can choose which one." But the choice was clear. With flourish – and on stage – Clooney promptly kissed the lucky girlfriend of the winning bidder, who'd ponied up $350,000. "I'll kiss [Clooney] for $500,000," joked Ellen Barkin. And as dozens of guests clicked their camera phones, Clooney then kissed her, too. (Source)
I don't get it. $350,000 for a kiss? For that kind of money, I'd at least expect dinner and light petting. I know if I auctioned myself off for $350k, you could certainly expect a reach-around ... but that's because I'm easy.*
*Especially with a few wine coolers in me. It's been said the combination to my pants begins with "Fuzzy" and ends with "Navel"
Look at Sharon Stone...
I'd happily spend the $350k to be allowed to lay the smackdown on this snob cunt.

And a Boston Pancake.
For this kind of money you can expect to get some dessert.
Awwwww, George Clooney! If only I had an extra 350K! Wishful thinking, I know.....but a girl can dream, right?
I love Ellen Barkin. She's so beautiful, I think. And she seems like such an interesting lady. I was reading an article about her in this month's More magazine and she just seems like she'd have a lot of good stories (it's a good read!). I would also ask her all about how it felt to be the only woman on the set of all those gorgeous men.....
