The Pretty People Take On AIDS

A plethora of celebrities decided to use their power for good instead of evil at last night’s American Foundation for AIDS Research party, hosted by Sharon Stone.

“The annual American Foundation for Aids Research party has established itself as one of the social highlights of the Cannes film festival and this year’s event, held at Le Moulin de Mougins, did not disappoint.

Minogue, firmly back on the scene after her much publicised battle with cancer, agreed to sing Can’t Get You Out Of My Head and The Locomotion - after £ 400,000 was raised. Stone, who hosted last night’s event, could not resist the opportunity to sing along.

The guests, who had paid £2,500 each for their tickets, could not have been more delighted. They are reported to have whooped and hollered at the climax of each song.

This year’s charity party attracted some of the biggest names in Hollywood, among them George Clooney, Matt Damon, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, as well as supermodels Claudia Schiffer, Elle Macpherson and Naomi Campbell.

Others performing included Julian Lennon and the burlesque artiste Dita Von Teese. She gave what one report described as a “trademark” dance, performing around a giant 9ft lipstick.”

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: the only way to beat HIV - nay!, any retrovirus! - is by attacking it with topless burlesque dancers. I’m expecting my Nobel Prize to arrive via messenger any day now.
