Cory Monteith and Naya Rivera raise $15,000 puckering up for charity
Actors Cory Monteith, John Stamos and Naya Rivera raised $15,000 for charity on Saturday (24Mar12) after offering themselves up for kisses at the Gay + Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) Media Awards.
Glee co-stars Monteith and Rivera hosted the New York leg of the awards ceremony and decided to turn up the heat by promising a steamy smooch with each of the highest bidders.
Former E.R. star Stamos sparked a bidding war for Monteith before
deciding to enter the auction himself and pucker up for his own
charity kiss.
Stamos was in for a surprise when his winning bidder turned out to
be a male fan - but the actor brushed off the same-sex smooch and
joked, "I got the better prize. Come to daddy!", before leaning in
for a quick kiss.
Monteith ended up getting intimate with Smash star Megan Hilty,
while Rivera's big spender dipped her low as they locked lips
onstage.
The trio's fun antics each drew bids of $5,000 for the GLAAD cause,
which was also attended by movie producer Harvey Weinstein, rap
mogul Russell Simmons and actress Dakota Fanning.
