Clinton's sax sold at auction for AIDS research

CAP D'ANTIBES, France (AP) -- Bill Clinton's saxophone and Robert Pattinson's lips have helped a star-studded charity event raise money to fight AIDS.

An alto sax signed and donated by the former U.S. president was one of the star lots at the Cinema Against AIDS benefit on the sidelines of the Cannes Film Festival, selling for euro130,000 ($180,000). There was also keen bidding on two kisses from "Twilight" star Pattinson, which raised euro20,000 ($28,000) each.

Sharon Stone hosted the 16th annual event late Thursday at the exclusive Hotel du Cap on the French Riviera. Annie Lennox entertained about 800 guests who included Paris Hilton, model Claudia Schiffer, director Terry Gilliam, rapper 50 Cent and scientist James Watson, one of the discoverers of DNA. Stone urged people to give generously despite the global economic slump.

3. yep, and what's even worse...

He'll probably get a head-job from Paris Hilton and say:

"I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN!"

4. I think Bill Clinton tries to have a big heart, and tries to do good.

I think he really cares, at times he might compromise, and at times, like everyone, sometimes he does better, sometimes worse. But I like him, just have to say it.

Yea I know alot of his ways may not be perfect, heh, neither are mine or anyone else's.

:loveya:

5. don't get me wrong, Bill is one of the finest presidents ever...

However, I believe he can take a joke, even if it's about him.

The difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats can give as good as they take, while Republicans mostly just take.

6. I laughed out loud on his recent quip about Cheney.

I thought that was funny.

Glad to here he is doing work in Hatti, the people down there have some real problems that hopefully his clout can help with.

8. what did he say about Cheney?

7. Is this the saxophone Shrub took a wizz in?

Before the inauguration, George W. was invited to a 'get acquainted' tour of the White House.

After drinking several glasses of iced tea, he asked President Clinton if he could use his personal bathroom. He was astonished to see that the President had a solid gold urinal!

That afternoon, George W. told his wife, Laura, about the urinal. "Just think," he said, "when I am President, I'll have my own personal gold urinal!"

Later, when Laura had lunch with Hillary at her tour of the White House, she told Hillary how impressed George had been with his discovery of the fact that, in the President's private bathroom, the President had a gold urinal.

That evening, Bill and Hillary were getting ready for bed. Hillary turned to Bill and said, "Well, I found out who pissed in your saxophone."
