Charlize Theron, the recently anointed United Nations messenger of peace, was spotted out Monday night looking nothing short of perfection.

Fashion and celebrity go hand-in-hand, so it’s no wonder that Charlize Theron and John Galliano were spotted together at the 5th Anniversary of the CDFA/Vogue Fashion Fund last night (November 17).
The “Italian Job” actress and her designer guy pal looked excited as they arrived at Skylight Studios in New York City, with Miss Theron sporting a strapless black dress with black strappy heels.
Yikes - we really think that Charlize Theron is too beautiful to be real. We keep waiting for her to show some signs of age or something, but it seems like the years are only making her look better and better. The Oscar winner attended the 5th Anniversary of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund yesterday in New York City looking as fashionable as ever in her preferred color of black.

She’s always been interested in using her celebrity for the greater good, and earlier today Charlize Theron was spotted at a press conference for the UN Messenger of Peace Induction Ceremony at the United Nations building in New York City.
The “Italian Job” hottie looked sleek as she passed the paparazzi, sporting a long black wool overcoat overtop a black dress with black stockings and black side-zip heels.
South African-born Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron was named on Friday as a United Nations messenger of peace, with a special focus on ending violence against women.
With Charlize there will now be 10 messengers of peace, drawn from celebrities in the fields of film, music, literature and sport who are charged with promoting U.N. activities and ideals through public appearances and media contacts.
The other current messengers of peace are actors George Clooney and Michael Douglas, musicians Daniel Barenboim, Midori Goto and Yo-Yo Ma, authors Paulo Coelho and Elie Wiesel, equestrian Princess Haya Bint al-Hussein and naturalist Jane Goodall.
Theron, 33, has been in dramas like “The Cider House Rules,” thrillers such as “The Italian Job” and the special-effects filled “AEon Flux,” and won an Academy Award for her role in the 2003 movie “Monster,” in which she played serial killer Aileen Wuornos, who came from a background of violence and abuse and was executed in Florida in 2002.
In the 2005 film, “North Country” she played a woman who fights back against sexual harassment. Theron had her own experience of domestic violence at the age of 15 when her mother fatally shot her alcoholic father as he threatened the family in a drunken rage.
Designating her a messenger of peace, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said, “You have used your voice, compassion and special relationship with the public to create a better world.” Theron, named by Esquire magazine last year as its “Sexiest Woman Alive,” has also been involved in charitable causes such as putting mobile health clinics in rural areas of her native South Africa where access to care is limited.
Out keeping up her beautiful look, Charlize Theron was spotted paying a visit to the famous Chris McMillan hair salon in Beverly Hills on Thursday afternoon (November 13).
After hours of treatment, the Academy Award-winning “Monster” actress stepped out with a hat on - unwilling to offer up a glimpse of her new hairstyle.

Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron are set to star in what sounds like a fascinating film about a married artist couple in the 1920s. The husband, played by Kidman, eventually becomes a transsexual. The film is called “The Danish Girl” and it’s based on writer David Ebershoff’s bestselling fictionalized book about real life artists Einar and Greta Wegener.
Nicole Kidman as the world’s first post-op transsexual, married to Charlize Theron? You betcha. The Australian actress will star in and produce “The Danish Girl,” based on the true story of Danish artists Einar and Greta Wegener. Their marriage took a sharp left turn after Einar (Kidman) stood in for a female model that Greta (Theron) was set to paint.
When their portraits become wildly popular in 1920s Copenhagen, Greta encouraged her husband to adopt the female guise. What began as a harmless game led Einer to a metamorphosis and landmark 1931 operation that shocked the world and threatened their love.
Anand Tucker (”Shopgirl”) is attached to direct the feature, adapted by writer Lucinda Coxon (”Wild Target”) from David Ebershoff’s 2000 Viking bestseller. His debut novel of the same name is a fictionalized account of the Wegeners’ true story.
Pre-production has begun on the indie film, but no details on a principal photography start date have been disclosed. Both Kidman and Theron earned their best actress Oscars playing lesbian characters, in “The Hours” and “Monster,” respectively. Additionally, Kidman is attached to play Dusty Springfield in a biopic about the bisexual English singer.

I wouldn’t really have thought of it this way unless the article had pointed it out, but both Kidman and Theron have lesbian acting experience. I wonder if that was some kind of requirement for the roles. The movie sounds so interesting that I’m definitely tempted to pick up the book. Both Kidman and Theron put everything into their films so it’s almost guaranteed to be good. It’ll be most interesting because it deals with early transsexuals and surgery – not something we hear a whole lot about. I’m definitely curious about the project and excited to see how it comes out.

Nicole Kidman will play the world’s first post-op transsexual who is married to Charlize Theron in 1920s Copenhagen based on a true story. Nicole will produce and act in “The Danish Girl,” according to Hollywood Reporter, based on the story about two married Danish artists who gained international attention after the man in the relationship to be played by (Nicole) gets the world’s first sex change operation in 1931.
The story begins in the 1920s when Greta Wegener (Charlize) asked her husband Einar to stand in for a woman model she was supposed to paint. The portraits became the rage in Denmark, so Greta asked her husband to keep up the charade. Somehow this leads Einar to deciding that she wants to become a woman, which of course causes serious drama for their marriage.
Anand Tucker, who directed “Shopgirl,” will direct and pre-production has started, but it’s not known when shooting will start.

According to papers filed in Manhattan Federal Court Monday, Charlize Theron has reportedly settled the $20 million breach of contract lawsuit against her, The suit was filed last year, Charlize apparently made a hefty deal with Swiss watchmaker Raymond to exclusively wear their watches but showed up at a press conference in 2006 with a Christian Dior watch strapped to her wrist. While the details were not released, the papers do say that the suit will be discontinued as long as the terms of the settlement are completed within 30 days. I am guessing the settlement doesn’t involve money.
In more positive news, Charlize is in talks to join Tom Cruise in the remake of cult 2005 French thriller Anthony Zimmer. The project, to be retitled The Tourist, is about a female agent to be played by Theron on the hunt for an elusive ex-boyfriend Cruise, who becomes a wanted man.
Bringing an end to her legal woes, Charlize Theron has reportedly settled a $20 million lawsuit after being accused of breach of contract by a luxury watchmaker.
Press reports tell that the bosses at Raymond Weil claim to have paid the Academy Award-winning actress a large sum to wear their watches exclusively between October 2005 and December 2006.
It seems now more than ever, celebrities are all about helping out a good cause. And last night stars like Charlize Theron and Salma Hayek were spotted at Sir Richard Branson’s Rock the Kasbah Gala benefiting Virgin Unite.
The “Italian Job” cutie showed up on the red carpet looking stunning in a one-shoulder black dress teamed with a pair of strappy black heels.

Dressed in a comfy looking blue sweat suit and hiding under a white cap, we caught Charlize Theron enjoying a glass of wine and playing with her dogs on the beach in Malibu. Ahh, the good life!

What great way to spend the weekend!
When the hustle and bustle of Hollywood life gets a bit overwhelming, stars seek solace in their families. And yesterday (October 19), Charlize Theron was spotted getting some quality time with her mother.
The “Italian Job” cutie and her mom Gerda Theron took a beach stroll in Malibu, drinking wine and playing with Charlize’s dogs in the sand.

Charlize Theron said in a recent interview with MTV that she just doesn’t get MTV faux reality show The Hills and that it’s “about nothing.” MTV has the footage on their site and, like her appearance on The Tonight Show, she came across as tipsy at the start of the interview but seemed to pull it together toward the end. She slurred her words a little and was joking around a lot. The interview was conducted with her co-star in the upcoming film about the 1999 World Trade Organization protests, Battle In Seattle, Martin Henderson. Battle in Seattle is directed by Theron’s longtime boyfriend, Stuart Townsend and is now out in limited release.
MTV: Charlize, you and I have discussed “The Hills” a couple times.
Theron: Yes, you belittled me on television. They were like, “Who’s the f—ing nana on the TV show who’s never seen ‘The Hills’?!?”
MTV: I never called you a nana.
Theron: Well, the kids now think I’m a nana, thanks to you.
MTV: You have said that you are now up on “The Hills,” so I have a question: Do you think Lo is treating Audrina fairly?
Theron: [Long pause, laughs.] So I watched a couple episodes. I was doing a world tour at the time, so I watched them in a couple languages. I realized that this f—ing show is huge. Now I’m going to ask you a question: Why?
MTV: Why what?
Theron: Why is it so big? It’s about nothing! This is a free country. Freedom of speech! You can tell me right now to my face that “Reindeer Games” was a piece of sh–. That’s totally fine. But “The Hills” is about nothing. I think the girls are beautiful and when they cry their mascara runs and that’s real, but I don’t get it! [Pause.] I am a nana. I’ll just take it. I am a nana. Maybe I need to watch the shows some more.
[From MTV.com via The Huffington Post]
I have to agree with Theron. I’ve only seen clips of this show online and a couple of episodes dubbed over in German. Maybe it’s because I could only follow about half of what they were saying, but I ended up focusing on their hair and makeup and resolving to try new looks. This often happens when I watch soap operas in English, though, so I assume it’s just like a soap opera but semi-real. It’s wildly popular and the stars have all become well know, so someone must be watching it. Most of the show’s fans are just not in Theron’s age bracket, which I will reluctantly admit that I share.
Theron also talked about her film about the WTO protests, and admitted that her boyfriend Townsend released the film before the US election for maximum impact. She said she’s never really protested anything, but that she would protest the World Trade Organization now that she’s done the film and is more informed about it. Then she made a little gaffe saying the WTO’s decisions would affect her children, which is odd because she doesn’t have any yet as far as people know:
MTV: First things first: Is there a cause that is worth spending a night in jail for?
Theron: I would definitely go to a WTO protest for sure. Anything that is going to affect my health, my children’s health …
Martin Henderson: You have children?
Theron: No. If I had children!
MTV: We have broken news. You have children!
Theron: Yes, and they live in Alaska and they can see Russia from their backyards.

Hopefully Theron isn’t in the early stages of pregnancy because she definitely seemed tipsy in that MTV interview and on The Tonight Show earlier this week, where she sipped a margarita and sang a very off key karaoke version of Bohemian Rhapsody. She really pulled it together at the end of the interview with Leno at didn’t seem drunk at that point, so maybe it was all an act.

And since she's a pretty and talented actress, we wanna know what she has to say!
While talking to MTV News about an indie film she's in, stunning Oscar-winner Charlize Theron was asked about the popular reality show. Her reaction?
"I realized that this f*cking show is huge. Now I'm going to ask you a question: Why? Why is it so big? It's about nothing! This is a free country. Freedom of speech! You can tell me right now to my face that Reindeer Games was a piece of sh*t. That's totally fine. But The Hills is about nothing. I think the girls are beautiful and when they cry their mascara runs and that's real, but I don't get it!"Personally, I enjoy the drama of The Hills... but that rant was kinda hot. Go Charlize! We love anyone that speaks their mind.
It’s one of the most talked about films in the festival circuit these days, and last night Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend took their “Battle in Seattle” to Beverly Hills.
The “Italian Job” hottie and her director beau were spotted arriving at the Clarity Theatre for an ultra-exclusive screening of the new film, both looking hot in black as they posed for the paparazzi.
While most of the celebrities in New York City were attending various Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week festivities, stars like Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, and Tobey Maguire were over at the US Open watching Roger Federer beat Andy Murray.
Miss Portman, joined by a girlfriend, looked adorable in her red, blue, and yellow dress as she made her way to the tournament, smiling for the paparazzi.
Hayden Panettiere, Miley Cyrus, Charlize Theron and Justin Timberlake are just a few of the A-listers who showed up to the 5th Anniversary of Fashion Rocks in NYC the other night.
Though I adore Hayden and Miley, they don't consistently wow me with their red carpet style, but it's pretty safe to say that they both got it right this time with their dazzling, dark metallic silver dresses. The only question is who wore it better?
Oh, hey JT!
With so much going on in New York City this weekend, it’s hard to keep track of who’s going where. And prior to her appearance at the Fashion Rocks event last night, Charlize Theron (and her director beau Stuart Townsend) enjoyed a little haute couture.
The “Battle in Seattle” babe headed over to the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week festivities, sitting front row at the Rag & Bone Spring 2009 fashion show, held at Pier 94.
Continuing along with her busy day at the Venice Film Festival, Charlize Theron once again looked stunning on the red carpet - this time for the premiere of her new movie “The Burning Plain”.
The Academy Award-winning South African actress both starred in and acted as executive producer for the Guillermo Arriaga directed drama.
She’s been making her rounds at the 2008 Venice Film Festival, and the latest stop for Charlize Theron was the photo call for her film “The Burning Plain.”
The “Battle in Seattle” babe looked absolutely gorgeous in a sleeveless pink wrap-textured dress teamed with a pair of shiny black high heels as she posed for the paparazzi.
Earlier this week she was living it up in the Mile High City of Denver, Colorado. But yesterday Charlize Theron found herself looking hot in Venice, Italy.
The “Italian Job” hottie was spotted schmoozing at an exclusive party at the Guggenheim Museum to celebrate the premiere of “Valentino: The Last Emperor” as part of the 2008 Venice Film Festival.
I have no idea who Lola Ponce is, but I think I have an idea what she's famous for!
In addition to Brad Pitt and George Clooney, Charlize Theron, Elizabeth Hurley, Eva Herzigova and the above Lola Ponce are all attending the Venice Film Festival...
Damn, Lola and Charlize? We need to get over there STAT!
Seriously, Venice is the place to be!
Her new film “Battle in Seattle” is the talk of the Impact Film Festival in Denver, Colorado, and Charlize Theron couldn’t be happier.
The “Italian Job” cutie and longtime boyfriend Stuart Townsend (who wrote and directed the film) were spotted meandering around the Mile High city yesterday, taking in the sights and giving the paparazzi ample opportunity for pictures.
It’s difficult for us to comprehend that there is one so beautiful as Charlize Theron. So the fac tthat she is that gorgeous AND concerned about our country? Well, color us impressed. Charlize departed from Los Angeles International Airport, on her way to the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. Charlize showed up already dressed for cooler weather wearing a black and white plaid scarf. We’re also digging her gold gladiator sandals.

It was one of the summer favorites over here in the States, and now Hancock is hitting Japan along with stars Charlize Theron and Will Smith.
Earlier today (August 21) the “I Am Legend” stud and his “Italian Job” gal pal were spotted at the big Japanese premiere, much to the delight of hundreds of Japanese fans.
She’s usually not one for much public appearance, but yesterday Charlize Theron was spotted walking around Beverly Hills along with her longtime boyfriend Stuart Townsend.
And it seemed that Mr. Townsend was a little less than impressed with the shutterbugs following them around as he yelled at one paparazzo while chasing him off.
Enjoying the sunny California summer weather, Charlize Theron celebrated her 33rd birthday (which was on August 7th) at her beach house in Malibu on Saturday (August 9).
The Academy Award-winning actress was surrounded by family and friends for the special occasion, with guests including Jason Bateman and his wife Amanda Anka.
Today is screen goddess Charlize Theron's birthday - she turns 33! - and we deemed it necessary to congratulate her... but what can you really say to the most beautiful woman in the world?
We'll keep it simple: Happy birthday, Charlize!
Oh, and I guess it's Samantha Ronson's b-day, too - the DJ is 31 today.
Wow... who, uh, looks older: Sam or Charlize?
We know it's not really fair to compare Sam with someone as stunning as Charlize Theron, but I think it's pretty obvious who looks better!

Charlize Theron is the picture of perfection on the red carpet, but according to Star, she is a slob at home, and it drives boyfriend Stuart Townsend crazy. To keep the house clean, he’s had to resort to assigning her chores.
“He was frustrated that the house always looks like a tornado hit it whenever he’s been away, so he created a chore list, and posts it on the refrigerator every day,” says an insider.
[From Star, print edition, August 11, 2008]
She even gets rewards for cleaning. If she makes the bed and cleans up after herself, she gets a day off, and Stuart will make her favorite breakfast of corned beef hash, roasted potatoes and bacon.
“They butt heads sometimes, especially over keeping the house tidy,” says the source, “but Charlize appreciates that Stu is so solution-oriented.”
[From Star, print edition, August 11, 2008]
Somehow I doubt she “appreciates” his solution-orientation while he’s nagging her to do dishes or pick up her dirty clothes, but the two of them must be doing something right — they’ve been together seven years.
Judging by Charlize’s svelte figure, she doesn’t get her favorite breakfast too often, unless she’s working off all those calories with lots of assigned chores.

The stars were out the other night for the premiere of Will Smith's new action flick, Hancock, where Will plays a drunk superhero who needs a little help reviving his public image.
The leading man looked dapper in a dark gingham (yes, gingham!) three piece suit, while his wife Jada chose a long kelly green dress. Co-star Jason Bateman opted for a more casual dark grey suit, and Charlize Theron looked gorgeous in a strapless, pastel icy blue chiffon gown. We gotta give Charlize major props for wearing flats - who says you have to wear high heels on the red carpet?! Then again, she is about 5'10", so it's not like she needs the extra boost!
Also spotted at the star studded premiere were Puff Daddy, a very pregnant Minnie Driver, Amanda Peet, Queen Latifah, The Cheetah Girls, and Larry Birkhead. Wait, who invited those last two?! Hmm...
Will you be seeing Will on the big screen this weekend?
Wow, now if this isn’t a very flowy sort of dress that Charlize Theron wore to the Hancock premiere. Sort of reminds us of the dress that Angelina Jolie wore to the SAG awards right before the confirmation of her pregnancy. Call us gossips (ha) but we’re putting our money on Charlize joining the growing ranks of Hollywood mommies. Afterall, her and beau Stuart Townsend have been together for quite a long time, so why not?

I love me some Will Smith. I also love me some Will Smith movies. (Well, except for Hitch. Okay, Hitch and The Legend of Bagger Vance. Okay, Hitch, The Legend of Bagger Vance and Wild Wild West. My point is, I still watch Fresh Prince, okay?!) Anyhoo I’m sort of gagging over his new film Hancock. I mean have you seen the trailers? Now THOSE are some special effects! But what isn’t having a special effect on me is the suit he wore to the Los Angeles premiere of the film. I mean did he keep that from the costume department of Bagger Vance? Where’s his caddy then? I don’t care what they say plaid is not rad. Especially full body plaid. Which leads me to Thomas Jane.
Really, Thomas Jane? Really? Were your overalls dirty so you decided to come to a Hollywood premiere dressed like a trucker? I get that it’s not your movie and I get that you don’t even have a cameo in it, but seriously is it too hard to tuck in a shirt and perhaps shave? I hope this lackadaisical attitude doesn’t rear it’s ugly head in his upcoming film Mutant Chronicles. (Which by the way BETTER be minimally enjoyable… unlike The Mist.) Speaking of mist, thank you Charlize Theron for finally laying off the spray tanning. You look lovely. I don’t get what black nail polish has to do with anything, but I’m gonna look beyond that because your make up looks fresh and appropriate and that necklace is perfect. I’m borderline on that gown, but I love the color and I get what you’re going for…unlike Valerie Bertinelli. This worries me. Valerie Bertinelli looks like Barbra Streisand’s Mini-Me. Why is she wearing a drape? I mean seriously! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: “Clothing should be draped, not drapes.” This tells me she does not believe in her Jenny Craig’d fabulous body which really breaks my heart, because she looks amazing. I’m just sayin’ I would think if she just lost 40 pounds and is a spokesperson for a weight loss program AND she’s back on red carpets that she would be showin’ it all off to get some new fabulous jobs… aw, well. Maybe she’s just taking it one day at a time…And that’s just what Lisa Raye should be doing. I love the new hair (I actually have that same hair in a box in my closet), but what is up with that hot tranny mess of an ensemble? (Minus the sandals of course: LOVING THEM!) It’s part bridesmaid, part summer teen and part tablecloth all in one!
As I look at it now it looks like this entire red carpet is a mess. Does Justine Bateman think she’s still on the set of Satisfaction? Has Kevin James gone Gangsta Rapper on us? Is Minnie Driver about to break into a routine from Flashdance? Did Queen Latifah just happen to be doing her cardio down Hollywood Boulevard and made a wrong turn and ended up on the red carpet? Does Amanda Peet not realize her makeup is that of a cracked out rocker on a 10 day binge? Has Virginia Madsen FINALLY proved to us once and for all what really IS black and white and red all over?
(Sigh, I am exhausted)`
Special thanks go out to Jason Bateman for being the real hero of the red carpet of a superhero movie. He looks like a true star at an actual premiere for one of the summer’s hottest films. Thank you Jason…and I miss Arrested Development more than you will ever know. (Is it true there’s rumored to be an A.D. movie in ‘09? Please say yes, PLEASE!)
