Charlize Theron stunned guests at the OneXOne charity event in San Francisco with a foul-mouthed outburst after bidding for a trip to South Africa and a meet-and-greet with Nelson Mandela raised just $37,000 (R282,000). The actress vowed to smooch a lucky bidder if the price was raised.
Referring to an earlier offering from Jeremy Piven, which saw two walk-on roles in his TV show Entourage sold for a total of $275,000 (R2 million), she said: "For f**ks sake! You can do better. There is no way I am leaving here with Jeremy Piven getting a higher bid."
Charlize – who took over hosting the event after 'Bourne Ultimatum' star Matt Damon pulled out due to a "family emergency" – was shocked when an unnamed woman offered the staggering sum but agreed to lock lips as the cheering crowd counted down the seconds.
The girl-on-girl kiss lasted more than 20 seconds and the lady even picked Theron up for the ground for a second.
The South African-born star – who is in a long-term relationship with Irish actor Stuart Townsend, 36 – joked after the kiss: "My boyfriend is not here."
Charlize's offering raised money for the Charlize Theron African Outreach Project, which is teaming with the OneXOne Foundation to bring soccer pitches and clean water to the children of South Africa by 2010. Other celebrities at the event included Josh Groban, Carlos Santana and David Arquette.
Which celeb would you pay R1 million to kiss?
