ROME -- U.S. actress Sharon Stone was in her element late Friday as she coaxed some 300,000 euros ou

t of guests at a charity auction for AIDS research in Rome.

"Don't flirt with me and not mean it," she scolded one bidder at the gala auction for the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AMFAR).

"Romans, countrymen, lend me your wallets," she cajoled.

"Just US$50,000 will fund an independent grant for a scientist working on a new initiative," she said as she removed a necklace by British crown jeweler Garrard and offered it for sale.

"I feel practically naked," she teased.
