At amfAR’s annual Cinema Against AIDS charity event in Cannes Thursday night, Robert Pattinson auctioned off two kisses* — at $20,000 a pucker. Commendable definitely. But the kisses were only on the cheek. UNACCEPTABLE! Unless he lingered and whispered something sweet in my their ears like "You’re lovely."
Honestly, how much money would you be willing to drop for a kiss from Pattinson? Which celeb’s kiss would get you to open your wallet the quickest? (It’s Friday. Play along.)
* Neither went to Sharon Stone, who hosted the auction.

Well, I paid half a c-note to have my picture taken with Ron Perlman and would likely be willing to pay just as much for a kiss from the man.
I think I’d have to say Ryan Gosling.
i agreed- for 20K it better be a lingering on the lips, in the moonlight, all the fireworks kiss. i’d also be willing to pay for gerry butler or christian bale kiss- in the interest of charity, of course!
I’d pay 20k to punch him in the face.
The kisses went for 20,000 Euro each, not dollars, which translates into roughly $55,000 total. Man, those two Mom’s must really love their daughters, or really have entirely too much expendable income, to spend that kinda coin on kisses for their daughters.
@Ian, along those lines, I would pay that much for them not to make another Twilight movie.
i would pay 20,000$ for a REAL kiss!!yumm
I would probably pay a pretty hefty price for Paul Rudd. im sure his wife would love that.
I would expect more than just a kiss on the cheek for that kind of money. Controlling myself would be the real issue!
Dude, I adore Spunk Ransom. He is so awesome for doing something like this for charity. You could tell in the video that he was so embarrassed, but it was cute.
Hmmmm…this same thing happened to George Clooney at this event…wonder how much the bid was for him? Anyone know?
For a real look me in the eyes, arms around my waist, slowly pull me close and kiss me kiss from him, I would donate vital organs. Don’t tell me I’m sad, I already know!
….meant to stay in the past…not at last nights event re George Clooney. BTW…kudos to Rob Pattinson for helping the charity out this way.
Hm…I’d pay $50, maybe…for a good cause. Obviously I couldn’t and wouldn’t pay $20,000, since that’s more than half my yearly salary.
Actually it was $28,000 dollars each as it was 20,000 euros.
Hey, Shamrock. I think that deep down inside there is a Twilight fan in you. I mean I see you all the time on every single Twilight article that is one here. I think that you secretly have Twilight on DVD and watch it at night when you are all alone. Why don’t you finally come out of the closet and join us. We happily welcome you. Twihards unite!!!
So the morale of the story is prostitution is ok as long as it goes to curing AIDs.
Jeez, I wish I had that kind of money! But if I did, I’d spend it on David Tennant. In a frakkin heartbeat.
I’m with the “giving my vital organs” gang – Good Lord that man is to die for! Should I ever find myself with a spare 20k, I know exactly what I’ll be doing with it …. Oh Mr Pattinson….
After seeing Star Trek, I would shell out some money to feel Chris Pine’s lips on my cheek. Good grief he has a pretty mouth.

hmmm..this is a tough one. I would have to cash out my retirement account to get this much, so I think right now it would be Chris Pine! OHHHH-love him as Capt. Kirk. And, Mandi, of course I love you, too!!
Hugh Grant. Just slo mo Bridget Jones– case closed.
if I had the $$, James McAvoy. Without a doubt.
For 20K? I’m not sure anyone is that hot. Pay for college for god’s sake. It’s better to find someone who will do it for free.
The fantasy would be that you would win a kiss from Robert and when it came time for Robert to kiss your cheek, he’d be so enamored by your beauty that he would forget the cheek, go for the lips, take you out to dinner, propose marriage, and the two of you would live happily ever after.
Ahh me…a girl can dream, right?
Wow, 20K for a measly kiss on the cheek is pretty pathetic. Especially considering that no one even cared about Robert Pattinson before Twilight – even though he had done Harry Potter. I’m not trying to diss Pattinson, I’m just saying that Twilight mania has reached batsh#$ insane proportions. I hope the people that paid really, really cared about fighting AIDS – otherwise, that’s just really sad.
It was nice of him to do that for charity,and it’s rather extreme calling a kiss in the face of prostitution, only of course, if you come from one of those extremistes religious countries.Inner beauty,it’s important to live,you know?
20k – Zach Quinto. But on the lips.
seriosly 20K for a KISS and on the cheek that is pethetic. who in their right mind would do that. peopl are such idiots who would do that
