From FoxNews:

"Sharon Stone, who is the face of AmFar, was thrilled nonetheless. Thanks to Madonna’s just showing up, and Stone’s persistence in selling her at auction, AmFar raised a staggering $10 million Thursday night. That’s up nearly $3 million from last year. So say what you will, Madonna’s presence was her donation to the cause.

"She also let Stone put up for auction, under the glittering tent at Moulin des Mougins, Madonna’s diamond encrusted Karl Lagerfeld custom-designed handbag (including her lip gloss, lip balm, magnifying mirror, hair clips and lozenges), one of her guitars and the promise to sing two songs privately for a bidder before a concert this fall somewhere on her tour."


Also Stone auctioned off -- as a sweetener -- blotting paper smudged with Madonna's makeup. The Madonna package raised $1.5 million for the charity.
