Charlize Theron Named As U.N. Messenger Of Peace

Kyle — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:35:00 -0500

Charlize Theron has always been a do-gooder, but she's now taking it to the next level. The U.N. has just named her their next "Messenger of Peace."

Messengers of peace, of which there will now be 10, are celebrities mainly from the fields of film, music, literature and sport who are charged with promoting U.N. activities and ideals through public appearances and media contacts.

Charlize's role will especially focus on ending violence against women. She has had her own experiences with family violence, which makes this especially fitting. Her mother shot her father to death after he threatened violence against them in a drunken rage.

Congrats to Charlize. I look forward to hearing her speak out and seeing what she'll be able to accomplish in this new position she's been given.

Vera — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 13:35:00 -0500

Charlize Theron has settled a $20 million lawsuit with the luxury watchmaker that accused her of breach of contract. Bosses at Swiss company Raymond Weil claimed they paid Theron the sum to wear its watches exclusively between October 2005 and December 2006.
According to court documents, Theron broke their agreement when she "was actually photographed wearing a watch from the Christian Dior line" at a press event in Austin, Texas on 14 March 2006.

The following month (Apr08), Theron modelled a Montblanc watch on a billboard at a Swiss trade show.

Company executives added the violations "demonstrate a total disregard by (Theron) for any of her obligations under the agreement". The settlement follows her lawyers' failed attempts to have the case dismissed. ew court documents filed in Manhattan Federal Court reveal the suit will be tossed when it is finalized within 30 days.

Terms of the settlement in the have not been disclosed.

Charlize Theron Might Lose $20 Million In Watch Lawsuit

Vera — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 09:15:00 -0400

Picture this. Someone gives you $20 million to wear their watches 24/7 for a specified period of time. Would you do it? Not only would I do it - but I wouldn't take the darn thing off. I would shower in the watch just to make sure I am not messing up the contract.

Well, Charlize Theron must have other things on her mind because Raymond Well is taking her to court to get back the money they fronted her for such a deal. Why? Because Charlize isn't wearing their watches! HOW EASY is that? Wear the watch - get $20 million.

Charlize is due in court later this month. She tried to fight the lawsuit in February, but a judge ruled it's worth a trial.

Fact Or Fiction: Charlize Theron Has An Odd Use For Her Oscar

Vera — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 09:24:00 -0400

I'm sure Charlize Theron has a really big house. So big in fact that a guest would have a hard time finding the powder room if they weren't familiar with the floor plan. Naturally, Charlize would have to direct her friends to where they want to be. Does she use her Oscar as part of her plan?

A source from the NY Daily News is claiming that Charlize uses her Oscar to help guide people to the bathroom. The source is claiming Charlize would tell her guests,

Take a left at the Oscar."

That's actually pretty funny. I might do that if I had an Oscar. The source also says the statue is clearly in a spot where everyone can see it.

"You can see the Oscar clearly from the hallway. You can't miss it!"

What do you think? Does this sound like Charlize? Is this actress someone that would throw the statue in the face of her friends? Or is it so harmless that it's no big deal?

Charlize Theron Thinks "The Hills" Is Crap

Virenda — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 07:40:00 -0400

Charlize Theron held nothing back when interviewed by MTV News for her upcoming movie, "Battle In Seattle" yesterday. When asked about the show, "The Hills" here's what Charlize had to say:

"I realized that this f---ing show is huge," Theron told MTV News Monday while promoting Battle in Seattle. "Now I'm going to ask you a question: Why?

"Why is it so big?" she asked. "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," she continued. "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."

So, what do you all think about what Charlize said? Should celebrities be encouraged to slam other movies, stars, and shows? Or remain respectful out of courtesy for the craft? I appreciate the honesty... but should she could have toned it down a bit?

Charlize Theron Attends Screening For Battle Of Seattle

Vera — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 08:20:00 -0400

Let's talk lipstick. I want to get a lipstick similar to the one Charlize Theron is wearing and I was wondering if you had any favorites that you could share. I've been told that I should smoke out my eyes and go very light on the lips. I typically wear Fresh Brew from MAC which is light but in the brown family. I have never shopped outside that color and wouldn't even know where to start.

Any favorites? It will be most helpful!

Back to the pics. Stuart Townsend was accompanied by longtime partner Charlize to a screening for his upcoming movie, Battle in Seattle at Clarity Theatre in Beverly Hills. Stuart wrote and directed the film while Charlize starred in it. The couple that works together...

Activists arrive in Seattle, Washington en masse to protest a meeting of the World Trade Organization. Riots and chaos ensue as demonstrators successfully stop the WTO meetings.

I love how Charlize is posing as they are walking in the door!
