Clooney and Damon, in Cannes for their new film 'Oceans 13', helped auction a luxury cruise as part of the bidding, but Clooney also gave away a kiss to one of the lucky female guests.
Sharon Stone, a long time spokeswoman for AMFAR, was acting as compere for the night.
Wearing a gold Robert Cavalli dress, she spoke to press about the importance of keeping the awareness of AIDS in the public eye:
"I think it becomes more important every year as the number mount, I think now that we're at 39.5 million people with AIDS, we had over 4 million people in 2006 get AIDS, just in one year alone, I think 4.3 million, one child dying every minute, I think we have to take this with increasing seriousness," Stone said.
Minogue and Stone then shared a duet of her hit "Can't Get You Out of My Head."
