Kylie helps stars raise Aids funds
(Wednesday May 23, 2007 03:28 AM)

Pop princess Kylie Minogue is putting in an appearance in the south of France on Wednesday night to help raise money for Aids research.

The singer, 38, will join the likes of Sharon Stone, Goldie Hawn and her film star partner Kurt Russell, Eva Mendes, Claudia Schiffer, French actress Catherine Deneuve and director Quentin Tarantino at the glittering fundraiser.

There is also speculation that Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Matt Damon will make an appearance a day before they launch their new film Ocean's Thirteen at the nearby Cannes Film Festival.

US Burlesque star Dita Von Teese, 34, will put on an "erotic" performance around a 9ft lipstick at the annual event in the town of Moujins on the Cote d'Azur.

Model Claudia Schiffer, actresses Mischa Barton, Ellen Barkin and Toni Collette and former Playboy Playmate Victoria Silvstedt are also making an appearance.

The Cinema Against Aids benefit is organised by Amfar, an organisation which has raised £45 million to fund Aids research, HIV prevention, treatment and education.

Amfar, The Foundation for Aids Research, has invested nearly £131 million in programmes and grants for 2,000 research teams around the world.
