NEW YORK – Katy Perry will be lighting up the French Rivera like fireworks next month: The singer will perform at amfAR’s annual “Cinema Against AIDS” event, the glitzy A-list fundraiser held annually during the Cannes Film Festival.

The fundraiser, which takes place just outside of Cannes in Antibes, France, will again feature Sharon Stone, amfAR’s global campaign chair; the actress had to bow out last year. Other stars set to attend include Kevin Spacey and Heidi Klum.

The May 19th event raises money to for AIDS research. More than $30 million was raised last year, according to amfAR.
