Janet Jackson: Raises one million dollars for AIDS research
US singer Janet Jackson has lent her star power to a gala charity in Milan that raised over one million dollars for AIDS research. The organizers have confirmed this news.
During a brief appearance at the Monday evening dinner and dance organised by the Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR), Jackson said, "This battle needs all of us to be brave warriors,"
The biggest sale of the evening was a Dsquared jacket signed by Janet Jackson and other celebrities, snapped up by Diesel designer Renzo Rossof for 36,000 euros (53,000 dollars).
Earlier a pair of handmade boots decorated with some 3,000 stones, made for Michael Jackson but never worn by the late king of pop, went for 10,000 euros. He passed away on June 25 at an age of 50.
