Tickets to a Madonna concert and a private dance lesson with Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow

Madonna and her mirror-image daughter host a star-studded New York charity party

As Madonna escorted Lourdes along the red carpet in New York last night, it was astonishing clear the 11-year-old is every inch her mother's daughter.
The pop star arrived with her mirror-image companion in tow as she prepared to play host to a celebrity-studded event on the lawns of the United Nations to aid Malawi orphans, UNICEF and to inaugurate a new Gucci store.
It was the first time Madonna has been seen since she was spotted with mysterious bruises under her eyes earlier this month.
Last night, she looked surprisingly radiant and made the most of her neatly toned figure with a clingy Gucci jersey dress.
Of course, the cause is very personal for Madonna - she and her husband, director Guy Ritchie, are in the process of adopting 13-month-old Malawian David Banda.
Guests were rumoured to have paid £1000 a ticket for the party, which attracted the likes of Tom Cruise and Katie and Demi Moore and husband Ashton Kutcher.
Close Madonna pal Gwyneth Paltrow made a rare red carpet appearance, dazzling in a pink frock trimmed with an oversized bow.
Heavily pregnant Jennifer Lopez arrived with her husband Marc Antony, while Brooke Shields, Drew Barrymore, Dita Von Teese, Nelly Furtado and Rihanna added high-voltage glamour to the evening.
A staggering £300,000 was paid for four VIP tickets to a Madonna concert, which were part of a package that included business class flights, two nights in the Ritz-Carlton and a private dance aerobics class with Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow.
It was one of seven lots on auction at Raising Malawi and Unicef, one of the biggest charity events in New York which took organiser Gucci a year to plan.
“I don't think I have ever been so nervous in my life,” said Madonna.
“It would be easier to stand on stage in front of 80,000 people than address you here about a cause that means so much to me.”
Fighting back tears, she talked about the courage of Malawi's people.
Later, a mystery Japanese businesswoman bought the Madonna tickets. Businessman Arpad Busson bid £30,000 for Gucci fashion show tickets and the chance to have a bag named after him.
Lourdes narrowly missed out on tickets to American Idol and first-edition Harry Potter books, which eventually went for £47,000.
Salma Hayek outbid American Vogue editor Anna Wintour to pay £175,000 for a private hour playing football with David Beckham.

Des billets à un concert de Madonna et une leçon de danse privée avec Madonna et Gwyneth Paltrow.

Un stupéfiant £ 300,000 a été payé pour quatre billets VIP à un concert de Madonna, qui faisaient partie d'un paquet incluant des vols de classe affaires, deux nuits dans le Ritz-Carlton et une leçon de danse privée d'aérobic avec Madonna et Gwyneth Paltrow.
C'était un de sept lots de la vente aux enchères de Raising Malawi et UNICEF, un des plus grands événements de charité à New York qui a pris à l'organisateur Gucci une année à planifier.
"Je ne pense pas que j'ai été aussi nerveuse dans ma vie," a dit Madonna.
"Il serait plus facile d'être debout sur la scène devant 80,000 personnes que de m'adresser à vous ici au sujet d'une cause qui me signifie tant."
Retenant ses larmes, elle a parlé du courage des gens du Malawi.
Plus tard, une femme d'affaires japonaise mystérieuse a acheté les billets de Madonna.
Lourdes a manqué les billets pour American Idol et la première édition des livres d'Harry Potter, qui sont finalement partis à £ 47,000.
