Sharon Stone made a name for herself starring as sex bombs in films such as Basic Instinct, so it's no wonder bidders at a recent AIDS charity auction were willing to fork out the cash for a clinch with the sultry star.
Though a number of men offered up thousands of pounds to be the lucky receiver of the kiss, it was a female attendee who scored the top prize.
Ms Joni Rimm, a guest at the LA gala, paid £35,000 for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And Sharon drew a surprised reaction from the audience when she puckered up for a passionate kiss that went on for 45 seconds.
"Sharon was a great sport," said one witness. "She really went for it, grabbing her around the chin and kissing her passionately. Everyone in the crowd just screamed with delight."
Added another onlooker: "It might have been for charity but it was very sexy. I think there were plenty of men and women in the audience who would have loved to be in Joni's shoes."
Proceeds from the charity event went to Project Angel Foods, an organisation which delivers free meals to people with AIDS.
