AmfAR's annual Cinema Against Aids event was held during the famous Cannes Film Festival at the Hotel du Cap in Antibes and featured a cocktail reception, dinner and a money-raising auction, The Hollywood Reporter said.
Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and German supermodel Heidi Klum started off the bidding by offering up a pricey Cartier watch. Klum sparked a bidding war by promising the winner a massage.
Other coveted lots in the auction included a guitar owned by Ronnie Wood and the chance to star in a short film by Karl Lagerfeld, while 'Vampire Diaries' star Nina Dobrev offered to bite a winning bidder.
The night also included performances from pop singer Jessie J, who sang her money-themed hit 'Price Tag', and Aloe Blacc, who performed the aptly titled 'I Need a Dollar'.
Other guests included Alec Baldwin, "The Artist" star Berenice Bejo, Milla Jovovich and Antonio Banderas.
