Bill Clinton to join Sharon Stone at Cannes AIDS gala



MOUGINS- Former US president Bill Clinton will join actress Sharon Stone at this year's star-studded AIDS fund-raiser in southern France, held each May on the fringes of the Cannes film festival, organisers said Monday.
The annual gala for the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AmfAR), one of Europe's main charity events, raised 10 million dollars (7.48 million euros in current exchange rates) in 2008.
