Sharon Stone's AIDS charity auction has raised $1.35 million.

The "Basic Instinct" actress - who is the global fundraising chairwoman of AIDS research charity amfAR - hosted the candlelit benefit in Rome, Italy, on Friday and even sold her own necklace for $50,000.

Quentin Tarantino says Gwyneth Paltrow would be a terrible porn actress. The 'Kill Bill' director would love to make an erotic film, but doesn't think Paltrow would make the grade.

He told FHM magazine: "I could do an erotic film, I wouldn't mind doing a women-in-prison or a cheerleader movie. And, if I do it, I'm not going to cast someone like Gwyneth Paltrow. It would have to be a cool, trampy actress who says, OK, let's get the cameras rolling - here we go!' "

Drew Barrymore and boyfriend Spike Jonze can't keep their hands off each other in public, it has been reported.

The couple were seen canoodling at Los Angeles' Sunset Tower Hotel - a favorite hotel of Spike's ex-wife Sofia Coppola - last Friday.

From dating an actor to a musician, Drew Barrymore has mingled with every kind of person in the entertainment industry. Now, she's got her eyes set on a director.

Drew was recently seen kissing director Spike Jonze.

Sofia Coppola went on her first public appearance since becoming a mother.

The director continued the Coppola linage when she gave birth to a daughter in November. Coppola, the daughter of film maker Francis Ford Coppola, and her boyfriend, musician Thomas Mars, welcomed their first child, Romy.
