What can you tell me about charlize theron kiss for charity?
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — How much is a kiss with big screen beauty Charlize Theron worth? Apparently, about $140,000 to one lucky woman. The Oscar-winning actress took part in the OneXOne charity event on Thursday night in San Francisco, where she took the stage to auction off a two-week trip to her native South Africa to watch soccer’s World Cup in summer 2010. While the trip itself was a nice prize, the winning bidder also received other extra item for her $140,000 donation – a liplock with the Oscar winner. And the woman certainly got her money’s worth — the two embraced and kissed onstage for nearly 25 seconds. Charlize was at the event to help raise money for the Charlize Theron African Outreach Project, which is teaming with the OneXOne Foundation to bring soccer fields and clean water to the children of South Africa by 2010, which is when the World Cup will be hosted there. Other celebrities on hand at the event included Jeremy Piven, Josh Groban, Carlos Santana, Laila Ali and D
At the OneXOne charity gala Thursday night in San Francisco, Charlize Theron auctioned off a kiss for an incredible $140,000 — to a woman. The lip service was a last-minute addition to a South Africa/World Cup package she was auctioning. When bidding stalled at $37,000, well below the $280,000 that Jeremy Piven had just raised, Theron upped the ante. From US Weekly, “For f*** sake! You can do better,” she tells attendees. “There is no way I am leaving here with Jeremy Piven getting a higher bid. I’ve got t**** for God’s sake.” To sweeten the pot, she offered up a 7-second kiss for $130,000 to a male bidder. “Swine flu is going around. This is high risk kissing!” she told him. After one man bid $135,000, a woman upped the stakes to $140,000 — ascending the stage for a 20-second smooch as the audience counted down.
