J.Lo Auctions Off Gems And Diamonds For AIDS Charity

By Sugey Palomares

Whoever believed Jennifer Lopez when she said her "Love Don't Cost A Thing"? J.Lo's spirit of giving hit new heights this week: The "Back-Up Plan" actress recently donated precious gemstones and diamonds to help raise serious cash for the Cannes Film Festival AIDS auction.

Proceeds from the event totaled $6.7 million, which will go to the American Foundation for Aids Research. Word has it that J.Lo donated ten luxury items, including a a gold-plated bottle of bubbly and a monkey-shaped pendant. We wonder if that was left over stock from the Bennifer days...

Paris Hilton, Mary J. Blige, and Michelle Williams were among the celebs that auctioned off their goods for charity, but one of the highest-rolling bids was to spend a day with former President Bill Clinton. Final price? $200,000!

No wonder the event earned about $2 million more than in 2008. And they say we are in a recession!
