So this week's current event is on a article on how Bill Clinton sold his saxophone at the Cannes Film Festival for $180,000 dollars to support finding a cure for AIDS. The title of the article is called "Clinton's sax sold at auction for AIDS research" found in the May 22nd issue of the Washington Post. Although it was titled that most of the article contained more about how a lot of other celebrities and stars helped out as well, not just Bill Clinton focused. Other stuff sold were a Fiat 500 car, which sold for $110,000, tennis lessons from pro players Monica Seles, and Jelena Jankovic for $50,000, and a Karl Lagerfeld guitar case filled with Dom Perigon champagne, for $70,000. Lastly, Quentin Tarantino’s new World War II movie, “Inglourious Basterds” had a special screening which raised $84,000. It's definitely sure a good thing celebrities and stars are helping by raising the awareness of AIDS and helping to find a cure!
