Haifa gets Ronaldos signed boot

Cristiano Ronaldo and Muammar Qaddafi were all key figures in raising funds for a special-needs centre at a star-studded Dubai auction this week.

The Lebanese pop star, Haifa Wehbe, successfully bid for the football with which Spain won the 2010 World Cup. Crammed with 23 players' signatures, the white ball rimmed with gold sold for Dh310,000.

Wehbe repeatedly raised her paddle for the Real Madrid striker Ronaldos lime-green signed boot. It was hers for Dh41,000.

I truly believe that stars must not just sign autographs but also sign cheques for a cause, Wehbe said.

The audience cheered and whistled when the spotlight was turned on the singer. Stars should contribute not just once but many times a year, she said. These children need our attention.
