Madonna's old bag trumps Clooney's kiss

, Prev Next A handbag of Madonna’s has sold for a whopping $471,000 at a charity auction for the annual amfAR Cinema Against AIDs benefit, beating the top selling item on last year’s auction list – a kiss from George Clooney which sold for $300,000.

Madonna donated the hideous alligator Channel purse – with a diamond-studded strap – from her personal collection.

The generous singer even threw in the purse’s contents for free, including Shu Uemura blotting paper, lip gloss (“It actually touched my lips,” she pointed out to the bidders,) lip balm, a magnifying mirror and throat lozenges. Luckily no snotty tissues.

She did, however, remove her more expensive gadgets before handing the bag over to the winning bidder. “I’m not going to give up my Blackberry and mobile phone because that’s too expensive for you,” she said.


Madge wasn’t surprised that her handbag out-sold George Clooney’s generous offering. “That’s cheap. Everyone’s kissed George Clooney,” she joked.

What a cow, i so dont like her, she walk around thinking shes so much better than any other celeb but i'd take geroge clooneys kiss over anything that belonged to that ugly witch.
OH MY GOD, i am just like any other girl i like my bags and shoes but to buy a bag (especially Madonna's) for that amount is that insane. Lucky it is for "charity" But then on the other hand who wouldnt wanna kiss from good old george. He's Gorgeous for an old man
