gottalove: Charlize Theron Kisses a Girl For Charity

Now if that headline doesn't get your attention I don't know what will! Last night was the 2nd Annual ONEXONE Foundation Gala and I was privileged to attend and witness great acts of giving by guests and celebrities alike. The event was supposed to be hosted by Matt Damon as it is the organization he is working hard to promote however Matt had a family emergency and could not be there (please send good energy his way).

None the less, the evening was magical. Performers including Carlos Santana, Josh Groban, Spencer Day and a 8 year old Ethan Bortnick piano prodigy made the evening unforgettable. Or maybe it was Charlize Theron's kiss of another woman that did that (see exclusive photo above)! During the auction, she was able to up the bids by offering a kiss to the highest bidder- 7 seconds for a guy... 20 seconds for a girl.... her boyfriend i am sure was relieved that a girl had the top bid! Charlize was actually auctioning off a trip to the Soccer World Cup in her home of South Africa and just threw the kiss in there to seal the deal! $140,000 later, the deal was done!

Charlize has a charity of her own LAFC, that is partnering with ONEXONE. LAFC is building soccer fields in South Africa for under privileged youth to help them on a path to a better life.

Jeremy Piven auctioned off a speaking part on the show Entourage that went for well over $100,000. By then it was getting late and I actually had to run home to relieve my babysitter so I missed the Snow Patrol performance that was the big headliner.

Read more below about ONEXONE and what they do. David Arquette is on the Board as well as a slew of other movers an shakers. Definitely a worthy cause, and a great event!

Guests of the event were given this awesome bracelet ($180 value) by LinksofLondon made especially for the ONEXONE org. I am wearing mine now and love it! It is by far the best take away I have ever received from an event of this kind. It will be a constant reminder of the kids in need who this charity is set out to help.
