TwitterMadonna will attend amFAR's AIDS gala at Cannes!
OMG, Madonna is coming to Cannes!
The musical superstar will join Sharon Stone and Harvey Weinstein at the annual amFAR Cinema Against AIDS fundraiser May 22, always the highlight of the international film festival's social scene.
The event will be sponsored by Bold Films, Chopard (the company that made the jewelry Madonna wears on the cover of her new album, "Hard Candy"), the Weinstein Company, Audi, Canal + and Hewlett Packard.
In addition to the star-studded formal dinner and auction at Moulin de Mougins, a special short clip of "I Am Because We Are," the documentary about Malawi's AIDS orphans produced and narrated by Madonna, will be screened for guests. Another full-length screening is also skedded for the night before, May 21, in Cannes.
No word on performers at the May 22 event. But I'd say Madonna is a distinct possibility! Past performers have included Sir Elton John, Natalie Cole, Ringo Starr, Macy Gray and Lionel Richie.
Tables for this year's Cinema Against AIDS will range from $40,000 to $150,000. For event reservations and details, call (212) 219-0297 or visit www.amfar.org.

WILL I HAVE TO SHAVE my chest for this? That's why I wouldn't go to the White Party last week in Palm Springs!
...OK I get it now–but tell me, does anyone really "outrank" an A-gay? Or is this a circuit party only for the old, boring and filthy rich? (All for a good cause, of course...)
Maybe she'll show up in her underwear, like she did in '91. After all, this is just more of her effort to raise awareness around her so-called version of the "truth".
