For Charlize, It's Not Easy Pretending to Be Ugly

PopSugar — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 13:30:50 -0700

Charlize glowed in gold (with a questionable hairstyle) alongside her co-star Nick Stahl at a screening of Sleepwalking in NYC last night. In the past few years she's earned a bit of a reputation for choosing roles that hide her beauty, and her newest film fits right in with the trend. According to the actress, her character's appearances don't have any impact on how she picks her parts, saying,

"At the end of the day, it isn’t about what I physically look like - it comes back to storytelling. If I can find a good story, [that] is all that matters; I don’t judge a character on what I physically look like. I really don't care about appearance; that is so secondary to everything else that's more important in life."

Charlize has vented her frustrations about getting picked on for her movie choices more than once, but somehow it's hard to feel bad for someone who wakes up looking like that in the morning.

Charlize Wears Two Hats and Sleepwalks

Molly — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 15:02:10 -0800

Charlize Theron got all done up and looked gorgeous in Lanvin for the premiere of Sleepwalking in LA last night, where she walked the red carpet with Audrina Patridge and costars Nick Stahl and Dennis Hopper. It was a pretty special occasion for Charlize, because she both starred in and produced the film. She told Entertainment Tonight, "I like all aspects of this industry; I feel so fortunate to be in this industry and get to do this, and there are so many other ways of being creative other than being in front of the camera. I love acting, and I also love this, so who knows."

Charlize and Stuart Sleepwalk With Sundance Smiles

Molly — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 07:41:50 -0800

Charlize Theron walked the red carpet as both star and producer of her new movie Sleepwalking at Sundance yesterday with Stuart on her arm. Unfortunately, Buzz, who was there for the screening, didn't have a rave review for the piece...but of course Charlize looked stunning for the event. Leave it to her to make bundling up for freezing weather look sunny and glamorous. Apparently things got a little awkward and silent at the post-show Q&A, but at least it meant she didn't put her foot in her mouth geography-wise like she did over the weekend. Oops.

Jake and Natalie's Interview Involves Obscene Rapping

PopSugar — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:30:30 -0700

Natalie Portman looks sultry in black and white like Chace Crawford for the September issue of Interview. She is currently juggling multiple projects while also promoting her directorial debut in New York, I Love You. Her Brothers costar Jake Gyllenhaal conducted the interview and he got Natalie talking about her love of rap, My Little Ponies, and the optimistic way she views the recession. Here are some highlights:

On what song describes her current state: "My current state . . . I’m trying to think of a song that feels like sleepwalking. [laughs] I don’t know. I’ve mostly been listening to dirty rap lately. That’s sort of my scene . . . Really, really obscene hip-hop. I love it so much. It makes me laugh and then it makes me want to dance. Those are like my two favorite things, so combined . . . I’ve been listening a lot lately to 'Wait (The Whisper Song)' by the Ying Yang Twins, where the lyrics are like, 'Wait ’til you see my d*ck' - which is just amazing because it’s whispered. [whispers] 'Wait ’til you see my d*ck . . . ' [laughs] Crazy. So I just listen to it like I’m a five-year-old, like, 'Oh my god! I can’t believe he just said that!'"
On what skills she'd put on a job resume: "As far as skills go . . . I don’t have that many skills. [Jake: "Oh come on!"] I’m serious. I really wish I could make something. I mean, you’re a really good cook, you know how to build things - you can make things with your hands. I can’t make anything . . . Well, I can make chitchat, but not much else. I mean, I’d basically have trouble with any job that doesn’t require me to wear silly clothes and talk in funny voices . . . And so I’m an actor."

To read what Natalie had to say about why the recession might be pushing people to pursue their passions just read more.

On the recession: "I think it’s kind of an exciting time. I mean, everyone is cutting back. It’s happening in every industry - including our own. But I think that’s going to translate into a situation where people aren’t motivated by money as much as they have been in the recent past. A lot of my friends from college went into fields like banking for financial reasons - obviously people have school loans and things to pay off. And now, all of a sudden, they’re doing jobs that they hate and they’re not making as much money as they thought they would or they’ve lost their jobs entirely. So I’ve started to see people looking more toward their own passions and what really excites them. Obviously it’s much easier to say that you’re going to follow your passions when you’re financially secure, but at least we can take solace in the fact that we now have the time to pursue the things that we really want to pursue because now the option of doing things just for the money isn’t necessarily there."

Salma Neither Confirms Nor Denies a Wedding on Letterman

PopSugar — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 11:30:32 -0800

Sexy Salma Hayek looked perfectly polished on her way in and out of The Late Show yesterday. The actress is promoting her guest spot on 30 Rock, and she compared working with Alec Baldwin to enjoying a pint of delicious ice cream. She also told a few endearing stories about Valentina, mentioning that her trilingual baby likes things clean and sleepwalks at night. Dave teased Salma about Francois, and even brought up the engagement rumors. Salma didn't deny it but when he asked if there was going to be a wedding soon she coyly answered "Maybe... but then again maybe not." Sounds like we might have been right about our romantic speculation, but unfortunately Salma is still keeping us guessing.

Molly — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 13:30:45 -0700

It's black, it's white, it's Charlize Theron's blazer collection outside Letterman yesterday. The Sleepwalking star stopped by to visit Dave last night, looking gorgeous as usual. Charlize talked about recently becoming an American citizen - congrats! - and her recent time up in Boston getting her Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year award while "completely wasted." Fun times. Of course, she also touched upon that movie of hers and what it was like to film in 57 below zero. Brrrrrrr.

PopSugar — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 07:16:06 -0800

After sleepwalking through Sundance, Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend were back to LA's warmer temperatures on Wednesday. She won't be enjoying the sunny weather for too long though, because on February 7th she'll be headed to the east coast to receive the annual Harvard Hasty Pudding Pot award. She and Christopher Walken are this year's honorees based on their contributions to the entertainment industry. Things got a bit racy at last year's ceremony with Scarlett Johansson, and we can't wait to see what Harvard's drama troupe has in store for Charlize.
