Charlize Theron at Mr Chow in West Hollywood Pictures

Charlize Theron looked lovely as she left dinner at Mr. Chow's in West Hollywood last night. She was accompanied by a friend for the meal, which came after a long day of press for her new movie Young Adult. Charlize sat down with Ellen DeGeneres to chat about her dramatic role, which already nabbed her a Critics' Choice Award nomination, and also touched on her personal life. Charlize shared that she's "really enjoying" being single following her split from her boyfriend Stuart Townsend last year. She did joke about the difficulties of dating in the spotlight though, saying that when you're famous "it's not casual dating anymore. Then you can't suss the guy out anymore. You're married and having a child. It's done."
