Viggo talks Hobbit
8 November 2009 9:49 PM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Ever since Peter Jackson announced plans to produce a film version of The Hobbit, constant speculations have been made on whether the original cast, a large part of the Lotr success, would be back. Especially Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn, one of (if not The) most popular characters from those films. And to think Stuart Townsend was the original choice... Contrary to John Rhys-Davies, the multi-talented Viggo would indeed reprise his signature role without hesitation. But there has to be a role... »

Charlize Hits the Road With Her Mom and Stuart
5 November 2009 2:30 PM, PST | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Charlize Theron stepped out for the La premiere of The Road last night with Stuart Townsend and mom Gerda by her side. Her hair and wardrobe were light, but Charlize spiced things up with a deep red pout. Those lips sadly won't be getting anywhere near Johnny Depp in the near future - he's in talks to sign on to The Tourist, which Charlize dropped out of last month only to have Angelina Jolie pick up the role.

David, Charlize and Lindsay Help Kick off the Lakers Season
28 October 2009 8:30 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
The first Lakers game of the season brought out a particularly star-studded crowd in La last night. Perennial fans like Jack Nicholson sat alongside some other famous faces, including David Beckham and Sacha Baron Cohen. New members of the team's family, Khloe and Kim Kardashian, were right up front to cheer on Lamar Odom while people wonder how the relationship will effect his play. Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend also kept an eye on things, but they also snuck in some PDAs. Even Lindsay Lohan came to watch the Lakers defeat the Clippers, though she soon might be India-bound to film a special for the BBC. View 20 Photos › To see more from the game, just read more.

Woman pays Charlize Theron $140,000 for a kiss
26 October 2009 12:47 PM, PDT | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
During an auction held for the OneXOne charity last week, actress Charlize Theron got the result that she wanted. Up for bid was a kiss on the lips of the Oscar-winner but Theron was having difficulty getting the crowd to make bigger bids.
Entourage cast member Jeremy Piven had raised $280,000 and Theron was way behind with only a $37K bid. "For f*** sake! You can do better," she told the audience. "There is no way I am leaving here with Jeremy Piven getting a higher bid. I've got t*** for God's sake."
That did the trick. By raising the stakes and offering a seven-second kiss, the males in the audience got the bid up to $135,000. After Theron called out for one more bid, she got one for $140,000 -- and from a woman that wanted a 20-second kiss on Charlize's lips.
Saying that all was good since her long-time boyfriend Stuart Townsend wasn't in the house, »

Charlize Theron kissed a girl, liked it, and raised $140,000
26 October 2009 8:38 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Charlize Theron raised $140,000 by kissing a girl.
The 34-year-old actress stunned guests at the OneXOne charity event in San Francisco last Thursday (22.10.09) with a foul-mouthed outburst after bidding for her offering of a trip to South Africa to watch a game at the soccer World Cup in 2010 and a meet-and-greet with Nelson Mandela raised just $37,000, and vowed to smooch the lucky bidder if the price was raised.
Referring to an earlier offering from Jeremy Piven which saw two walk-on roles in his Us drama 'Entourage' sold for a total of $275,000, she said: "For f**ks sake! You can do better. There is no way I am leaving here with Jeremy Piven getting a higher bid."
Charlize - who took over hosting the event after 'Bourne Ultimatum' star Matt Damon pulled out due to a "family emergency" - was shocked when an unnamed woman offered the staggering sum but »

Charlize Theron Kisses Female Fan for 140,000 Dollars
23 October 2009 10:54 PM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Filling in the slot left vacant by Matt Damon at the OneXOne charity event in San Francisco, California on Thursday, October 22, Charlize Theron managed to sell her kiss to a female fan for $140,000. The winning bidder's identity wasn't made public though.
Theron initially sold a 2010 trip to South Africa that included World Cup tickets, a safari and a meet-and-greet with Nelson Mandela. The offer, unfortunately, only met $37,000 bid, far below the $280,000 Jeremy Piven had just raised.
"For f*** sake! You can do better," she then told attendees. "There is no way I am leaving here with Jeremy Piven getting a higher bid. I've got t**** for God's sake." She, thus, raised the stake, offering up a 7-second kiss for $130,000 to a male bidder.
One man bid $135,000, but a woman was quick to up the stakes to $140,000. It was the woman that won a kiss from Charlize for 20 seconds long. »

Fall Frights: Queen Of The Damned
20 October 2009 1:02 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
In the spirit of Halloween '09, we're breaking out reviews (some new, some old) of some Fall Frights you may want to work into your monthly viewing.
Originally published, 02/21/2002
Gotta love the Internet rumor-mongerers--now that Queen Of The Damned is hitting theaters and Jason X has a set release date in April, you have to wonder if any of those people feel chagrined for insisting the movies were going direct to video. Queen certainly doesn't feel like something that warrants small-screen consignment, especially on a visual level, as this is one of the lushest-looking horror films in recent memory. It's pretty lush in the dramatic department, too, at least in its first and more enjoyable half.
As most anyone who's been paying attention to the film's development knows, Queen is based not just on the novel of the title but also author Anne Rice's previous installment, The Vampire Lestat (onscreen, »

Lovely Bones: Cynical Awards Fodder Or Box Office Gold?
14 October 2009 10:04 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
The Lovely Bones has been a decade-long project: traversing continents; switching directors; growing in budget; Ryan Gosling fired; Mark Wahlberg hired; delayed for almost a year. Alarm bells start to ring. Despite all the rumours and gossip-mongering Peter Jackson’s latest feature has been, rather cynically, held back for “awards season”. In other words, the studio is unsure of how its product is going to play at the box office, so is hoping critical praise might help.
What started off as a Film Four production with Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsey has turned into an effects-laden, multi-million dollar behemoth. The trailer hit the internet in August and instantly recalled fellow Kiwi filmmaker Vincent Ward’s “beautiful disaster” What Dreams May Come. The similarities in tone and imagery are striking (dodgy wigs included).
The inexorable rise of Peter Jackson appears utterly incongruous given his origins in low budget splatter-horror. But is it? »

Charlize Theron was a guest on "The View" on Thursday and the actress revealed that she won't marry long-time boyfriend Stuart Townsend until gay people have the right to marry. Of course, Charlize phrased her stance on marriage in a slightly weirder way than that...but we know her heart was in the right place.Barbara Walters told Charlize that she'd heard she didn't want to get married, but asked if she would possibly change her mind if Stuart told her that he did want to. Charlize responded, "I don't want to get married because right now the institution of marriage feels very one-sided, and I want to live in a country where we all have eq ... »

Charlize Theron: I Won't Get Married Until My Gay Friends Can (Video)

Another Hollywood star who refuses to marry until it's something everyone can do: Charlize Theron, who has no plans to tie the knot with Stuart Townsend, her boyfriend of eight years. She talked about marriage equality, something she has previously supported, Thursday on 'The View.' "I don't want to get married because right now the institution of marriage feels very one-sided, and I want to live in a country where we all have equal rights," Theron said. "I think it would be exactly the same if we were married, but for me to go through that kind of ceremony, because I have so many friends who are gays and lesbians who would so badly want to get married, that I wouldn't be able to sleep with myself."

Charlize Theron Answers Some Burning Questions
17 September 2009 7:01 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
When so many other Hollywood actresses are doing everything possible to look good, Charlize Theron seems determined to buck the trend by playing more rough-around-the-edges female roles. Her turn as the decidedly unattractive serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster shocked audiences but earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress. She followed up that role by playing a victim of sexual harassment in North Country, which also earned her an Oscar nomination. Theron is once again set to play an unglamorous role in The Burning Plain.
Directed by Guillermo Arriaga, the award-winning writer of Babel, 21 Grams, and Amores Perros, The Burning Plain is a non-linear tale in which Theron plays a sexually promiscuous, suicidal character who is forced to confront the sins of her past. While it sounds like playing a character with such heavy baggage would weigh an actor down emotionally, Theron says that it's just a job.

Could Charlize Theron Be More Awesome?
17 September 2009 6:03 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Every once in a while, we have to take a moment to salute a celeb who just does it right. Today, we honor Charlize Theron. Yeah, yeah, she's an Oscar-winning actress and has a superhot, longtime boyfriend in Stuart Townsend. Whatever. She also takes adorable pictures cracking up with famous fashion designers, proving that good laughs actually can be had in schmancy party dresses at swanky parties (who knew?!). And then she goes and plays beer pong on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. It might not be as funny as when the host took Betty White to task, but seriously, has chugging hops ever looked hotter? We rest our case. »

Gorgeous Charlize Theron and boyfriend Stuart Townsend have been together for almost a decade -- so when will they walk down the aisle?

New York Fashion Week didn't slow down over the weekend, and the front rows were star-studded gearing up for last night's big event, the VMAs. Lindsay Lohan ducked into Alice + Olivia and Shenae Grimes, Blake Lively, and Rachel Zoe all scored spots at the Diane von Furstenberg show on Sunday. Mischa stepped out for the Herve Leger show as well as to attend an event for The Beautiful Life. Rachel McAdams sat alongside Anna Wintour at Alexander Wang and posed with Leighton Meester backstage at Altuzarra. With so many big events taking place in New York, the fashionista stars were all over. Hilary Duff and Amanda Bynes were front and center for the Herve Leger show, which is no big surprise considering how often they, especially Amanda, are seen wearing the ubiquitous bandage dresses. Kirsten Dunst mixed things up at Band of Outsiders, while Hayden Christensen was out without his fiance Rachel Bilson at Lacoste. »

Downey Jr. Next Up to Play a Vampire?

Did you hear ABC is coming out with a new show called Who Wants to Be a Vampire? Yup, and each week the contestants will come from a pool of Hollywood actors who desperately want to tap into the "youth market" and do a solid for the tween market. I kid, of course, but it certainly feels like that's what's been happening of late now that Twilight has wreaked havoc on the industry and taken an entire sub-genre hostage. The latest casting rumor claims Robert Downey Jr. is now angling to play a vampire. Not just any blood sucker, mind you, but Anne Rice's iconic Lestat de Lioncourt, once played by Tom Cruise in Neil Jordan's adaptation of Interview with the Vampire and Stuart Townsend in Queen of the Damned.
