Charlize's Battle is Full of Margaritas and Pet Names

PopSugar — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 12:54:09 PDT

Stuart Townsend and Charlize Theron posed together yesterday at a special screening of their film Battle in Seattle in Beverly Hills. The couple have been having a blast promoting the movie together, joking about what Charlize had to do to get the role and how embarrassing it was when she called Stuart his pet name on set. Whether she's downing margaritas and singing on The Tonight Show or asking why The Hills is so popular, Charlize's giddy energy is really showing through. She recently revealed how she makes her relationship with Stuart work in an interview. Charlize said:

"The secret is that it’s all about the person you’re with. It doesn’t matter what you do. I don’t believe that an artist can’t go out with a banker. I think it’s about the personal connection. When you’re with somebody good who’s looking out for your best interests and loves you in every possible way, then how could there be a jealousy? Nothing makes me happier in my day to know that he got a good review or that this movie is getting some really great buzz. Those things actually turn me on. I’m sorry."

No need for apologies from Charlize who always looks happy to support Stuart, especially on this project so close to both of their hearts.

Charlize Theron took advantage of the warm weather in New York with a little plaid dress she wore on The View yesterday before joining her man Stuart and costars for a screening of Battle in Seattle. Charlize always manages to look fabulous from the red carpet to the beach, and her efforts earned her a spot as one of People's 10 Best Dressed Stars of 2008. While we're not sure if we agree with some of the other honorees, Charlize's style continues to impress us even after the results are in.

Charlize Breaks From Hancock to Battle With Stuart

PopSugar — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:30:24 PDT

Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend cozied up for the cameras to show off their documentary Battle in Seattle at a screening in LA yesterday with the likes of Matthew McConaughey and Camila. While they managed to keep it G-rated on the red carpet, Stuart joked that Charlize had to sleep with him in order to win a role in his movie, to which she replied, "You’re still making me sleep with you.” His lady may be happy to playfully flirt with co-star Will Smith on those Hancock red carpets, but it sounds like Charlize is still having the most fun with her main man.

Movie Preview: Battle in Seattle

BuzzSugar — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 08:30:45 PDT

The directorial debut of actor (and boyfriend to Charlize Theron) Stuart Townsend, Battle in Seattle is a fictional account of a protest gone awry in Seattle in 1999. As the World Trade Organization prepared for a summit, activists from all over the world made plans to disrupt the meetings. This film is Townsend's attempt to convey the chaos and fear that overtook the city when ideologies clashed.

According to the trailer (which gives me chills), the movie will take a look at the ordeal from many different points of view - from the police officers, to the WTO organizers, to the peaceful protesters and their clash with activists looking to make a more destructive statement.

This was big news at the time, but it slid under the radar after 9-11. I'm curious to see if the film brings something interesting to the table that will make these events relevant to today's audiences.

The movie will open at the Seattle International Film Festival in May, and will release to a wider audience in September 2008. To check out the trailer,

PopSugar — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 03:30:01 PST

Charlize Theron looked gorgeous in her funky metallic dress on Stuart Townsend's arm at the Meteor Irish Music Awards in Ireland on Friday. The couple then went casual for a screening of Battle in Seattle at the Dublin International Film Festival on Saturday. Charlize is getting into the awards show circuit abroad, however don't expect to see her on the red carpet at the Oscars. She's planning on watching the show from home, saying, "I think it's a special thing if you get a nomination, or your film does. Then you go. But we don't have any nominations or anything like that in the house, so we sit in our jammies and watch it on the couch."

We don't blame Charlize for wanting to keep things comfy and casual, especially since the show can be fun even when watched from home. Want to make the Oscars even more exciting? Be sure to fill out your ballot for the chance to win some sweet prizes. Lots more of Charlize and Stuart so

Charlize & Stuart Are Married! Kinda

PopSugar — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 15:02:44 PDT

Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend have been together for almost seven years now, and if you've been wondering when the wedding will be, you could be waiting for a long time. Apparently these two decided to skip the ceremony and the legal binding and jump right to calling each other husband and wife. Here's more:

"I'm married," Townsend told PEOPLE this week. "I didn't do a church wedding or anything, but we're married. We're husband and wife."

"We love each other and we want to spend our lives together," the 34-year-old actor said about his nearly seven-year relationship with Theron, 32, who he calls "the greatest woman I've ever met."

"We didn't have a ceremony," he added. "I don't need a certificate or the state or the church to say otherwise. So no there's no big official story on a wedding, but we are married. ... I consider her my wife and she considers me her husband."

Well, to each his own right? We would've loved to see beautiful Charlize all decked out in white, but we all know by now that she's not always the most traditional type of girl.

Charlize's Battle in Seattle

PopSugar — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 15:46:19 PST

Charlize is in Vancouver working on her latest project Battle in Seattle. The movie is about 5 intense days of protesting in Seattle against The World Trade Organization in 1999. We're betting Charlize is super excited to be making this film because she gets to work with her cute man. Not only is Stuart Townsend making his directing debut for the film, he wrote the story as well. Battle in Seattle also stars Woody Harrelson, Joshua Jackson, Susan Sarandon and Channing Tatum.

A Cancer Survivor's Goal: 50 Triathlons by Her 50th Birthday

espnW — Fri, 04 May 2012 04:26:06 PDT

We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from espnW here on FitSugar!

By Julia Savacool

It's a good thing Jenn Sommermann discovered triathlons when she did. "I was turning 40 years old, and my friend and I were looking for a way to commemorate the occasion," Sommermann said. "We decided to train for a triathlon." Because Sommermann was on the East Coast and her friend was on the West, the two trained together virtually, exchanging workout notes and messages of encouragement. Several months later, they competed in the Danskin Women's Tri in Seattle.

"That was it, I was in love with triathlons," Sommermann said. Little did she know, two years later the fitness she gained through the sport would help her win a battle against ovarian cancer.

It was December 2006 when Sommermann received her diagnosis. She'd been feeling out of sorts for months, but had been reluctant to see her doctor.

The symptoms for ovarian cancer are subtle: Bloating, weight gain, fatigue and indigestion are all indicators for the disease, but they are also common symptoms for many women during their monthly cycle. The main difference with ovarian cancer, explained Sommermann, is the symptoms don't go away.

It was by chance she discovered the cancer - she was pressing on her stomach one night and came across a hard lump. "I called my husband over, and he felt it, too," she said. "I knew this wasn't good." She went to see her physician immediately, and an ultrasound revealed a tumor about the size of an eggplant. "I had Stage 3 ovarian cancer," said Sommermann. "I was in shock. The disease is 94 percent curable if you catch it by Stage 2. But after that, the numbers are not in your favor."

Grey's Anatomy Rundown, "Moment of Truth"

Becky Kirsch — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:29:56 PDT

As the title of this week's episode of Grey's Anatomy suggests, the moment the Seattle Grace residents have been waiting for has finally arrived: the boards. Jackson, Cristina, April, Meredith, and Karev are all gearing up for the big day, but they each have very different obstacles in their way. April is naturally freaking out, Karev can't get his mind off Morgan and Tommy, and Meredith comes down with the stomach flu at the worst possible time.

And then there are the doctors who aren't taking the test: Lexie is still taunted by her feelings for Mark, Teddy and Owen are at each other's throats, and Webber gives himself a break - with the help of Jackson's mom. Let's break down all the highlights of the episode when you

As the big day inches steadily closer, April is panicking more than ever. When she's not crying or snapping at people, she also finds time to accidentally tip off a fellow doctor that she snatched up the job he wanted for next year. Later, the same doctor drunkenly confronts her about the situation and April really loses her cool - she punches the guy out! High on confidence from her moment, she lunges at Jackson and tells him she's ready to lose her virginity. Jackson is actually really sweet about the whole situation, but April is clearly having some regrets immediately after. First, she kicks Jackson out of bed, then she hilariously freaks out about Jesus "hating her." It initially seems like a little sex might be just what April needs to chill out, but now I'm thinking she may have dug her own grave by giving herself yet another issue to agonize over.
While Jackson is busy making a woman out of his best friend, his mom is also getting a little action. Was anyone else a little weirded out by the way Jackson's sex scene is juxtaposed with his mom's? Mrs. Avery runs to Dr. Webber at the test site in San Francisco, and it's not long before she's whipping out all of her moves over dinner. Dr. Webber acquiesces, and they hop into the sack. It all seems well and good - Webber doesn't even seem to be having any regrets about Adele - until Jackson comes knocking on the door looking for his lucky pencil and instead finds the former chief in a bathrobe. Whoops.
One person who isn't getting any is Lexie, though it's not for lack of wanting. With Jackson away, Mark's a little restless around the hospital, so he turns his attention to Lexie. She does her best to try to keep her distance, but she can't help flirting a little. She even comes close to admitting her feelings but stalls when Mark tells her that she and Jackson made a great couple. Poor Lexie ends up literally crying on Derek's shoulder about how much the situation sucks - but I have a feeling it's all leading up to a big season finale reunion. On a related note - when was the last time Mark even mentioned his girlfriend?
With Meredith battling the flu, Cristina comes to her rescue with lots of Gatorade and other reinforcements (behind the safety of a surgical mask and closed door). The two have a heart to heart where Cristina finally opens up about her issues with Owen, but Meredith has a hard time consoling her when Cristina keeps going back and forth about what she wants to do with Owen. I was fully convinced that these two are done, but now it seems like Cristina is warming up to the idea of a reconciliation - what do you think?
Alex has been keeping his distance since his fallout with Morgan, but he can't stay away from her and baby Tommy this week. Arizona basically has to force him onto the shuttle to San Francisco, but even then he continues to call her every hour with ideas. Eventually he can't take any more and hops back on a plane to Seattle, but he's too late. Arizona informs Karev that it's finally over, and he sits with Morgan as she watches Tommy takes his final breaths. After the heartbreaking scene, Arizona convinces Alex that he should try to get back to SF in time for his boards, but in the final moments of the episode, we learn that he doesn't make it.

With only a few episodes to go, it seems like things are finally starting to get juicy on Grey's. Were you surprised about April and Jackson? Which doctors do you think will pass the boards?
