Charlize Theron was not about to be outdone by the likes of Jeremy Piven last night at a charity auction gala for OneXOne. She was originally offering up a trip to South Africa that included World Cup tickets, a safari and a meet-and-greet with Nelson Mandela. When bidding stalled out at about $37,000, she upped the stakes.
“For f*** sake! You can do better,” she tells attendees. “There is no way I am leaving here with Jeremy Piven getting a higher bid. I’ve got t**** for God’s sake.”
Piven’s auction went for $280,000! So, she threw herself in the pot, offering a 7-second kiss for $130,000 to a male bidder:
“Swine flu is going around. This is high risk kissing!” she told him
.
But it was a woman who ended up winning the coveted kiss!
After one man bid $135,000, a woman upped the stakes to $140,000 — ascending the stage for a 20-second smooch as the audience counted down.
“My boyfriend is not here tonight,” she joked during the auction.
It’s like a kissing booth – Hollywood style! What a great thing to do for a great cause! I bet Matt Damon was pretty excited at all of the money raised! And maybe a little sad that he missed the event! He had to back out of his hosting duties at the last minute, citing a family emergency.

Is this gesture going to really help ppl in need all over the world? I doubt. Shes zero despite many ppl are fooled by her beauty (shes just another good looking blonde anyway). As for her so-called talent, pass… Overrated…
What a dry kiss…bleh.
that’s a real “class act” Charlize.
Ugh, she’s like a sewer rat with her mouth. I wouldn’t kiss HER for a million bucks.
How the heck did Jeremy Piven win by so much?
What was Piven auctioning?
Yeah, that’s what I was wondering!
I just love what she is wearing. Anyway we can do a fashion find on this one, Vera?
Less than Piven…hmmmmm Bummer!
I know right!
For that price? there better be tongue included.
lol!
No kidding! My hubby and I would be in heaven!
World Cup tickets and a meet and greet with Nelson Mandela. That’s priceless! Too bad I’m poor
I like Charlize and good for her for doing what she could to up the bidding. It’s all for charity.
she looks pregnant! is she?
This woman is beyond hott but who the eff does she think she is? Kissing for hundreds of thousands of $? disgusting. NOOOO thankyou. I don’t care who the eff she is. Gross.
i know lol! that was a twist for her.
Her auction was nice without the kiss being included but I don’t think she was expecting a woman to win.
