W did a fantastic job interviewing Charlize Theron in their latest issue. Her photoshoot isn’t so bad either. Ok, it’s like, super hot.

I just love Charlize. She’s amazingly, I mean amazingly, gorgeous, but as this article points out, she isn’t one to exploit her beauty. She’s intelligent, witty, talented, and she has that old Hollywood charm about her.

Hotness.

From W:

When Charlize Theron arrives at our interview, poolside at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood, she’s still showing the effects of a weeklong bout with the flu. With her blond hair pushed back into a no-fuss ’do and dressed Hollywood business casual in jeans, a white shirt and a black sweater vest, she looks, well, incredibly normal. And yet, days earlier, on the set of the W photo shoot at the western edge of the Mojave Desert, there was no overlooking her ultralean Amazonian physique, her mile-long legs and her startling green eyes, framed by a perfectly symmetrical heart-shaped face.

Perhaps surprisingly then, for an actress whom Esquire last fall named the “sexiest woman alive,” the 32-year-old Theron has always resisted taking on roles that play only to her innate beauty. She fired her first manager after he sent her scripts on the order of Showgirls and Species. “So, we can see where he saw my career going,” she quips. But ever since her haunting, Oscar-winning portrayal of Aileen Wuornos in Monster—for which she gained 30 pounds, wore prosthetic teeth and cannily captured the physicality of the hard-bitten lesbian serial killer—Theron has been dogged, she says, by a public perception that she actively seeks to mask her beauty whenever she plays steely-minded, gritty women.

In fact, the surest way to rile her is to suggest that she’s somehow “transformed” herself yet again in several post-Monster roles, among them, a female miner battling sexism in the Minnesota iron mines in the 2005 film North Country, a Tennessee detective (who’s a brunette) in 2007’s In the Valley of Elah and, most recently, a desperate single mom in this year’s Sleepwalking.

“Oh, no, you better not be bringing up ‘ugly,’” she admonishes when I broach the subject. “Look, I get it,” she says. “Monster was a transformation.” But after that, she points out, whenever she’s played “women in middle America living normal lives,” she’s heard cries of “ugly,” no matter what they looked like. “North Country was dirt. That’s what happens when you go into a mine. In the Valley of Elah—that’s when I took real offense, because that was just my real hair color and me with no makeup.”

Her greater transformation, she says, comes on the red carpet. “It’s great fun when you have three people coming to your house, and one’s doing your nails, one’s doing your hair and one’s doing your makeup. Two hours later, you look gorgeous,” she says. “But that’s not my life.” Looking at her, you have to conclude that Theron is being unduly self-deprecating, and that the truth lies somewhere between the red carpet and North Country.

Read the rest of the interview and see the rest of the photos at W magazine.

“I never expected to be paid what Sarah was being paid. But I felt that the offer was not worthy of what the three of us had contributed. And I spoke up about it. I feel like I stuck my neck out. I fought. I don’t ever want to be on a set where I feel undervalued.”

This story is sure to give you a chuckle.

According to the Bloomington Pantagraph, a 12 year-old boy was arrested in Bloomington, IL at approximately 7:40pm last Thursday after throwing a rock at the windshield of a tour bus belonging to rapper Soulja Boy.

When police asked the kid, who has not been identified, why he attacked the bus, the boy’s reply was simple and sweet.

“I hate Soulja Boy.”

And the nation roars.

No one was injured in the attack.

Steve-O is getting his revenge on ex-Kat Von D via his MySpace page.

Steve posted a blog entry on his MySpace today titled, “Kat Von D’s Lies Catch Up To Her…” And in it he basically calls her out for not admitting that she wrote a note to her former boss, Ami James, (of ‘Miami Ink’) on a publicity photo of herself, calling him a ‘jewbag’ and saying he should, ‘burn in hell’. Chris Garver (also of ‘Miami Ink’) says she specifically handed it to him to give to Ami.

Since the photo has been released to the public Kat has vehemently denied anything to do with the picture. Steve obviously knows she did it and is disgusted that she is going to deny it to the bitter end. So he decided to not only call her a liar publicly, but also divulge the fact that she slept with numerous guys while she was still married.

Steve-O To Kat: Were you really saying that you wanted off my list? And why’d you delete Orbi and make Nikki such a big deal?

Changing your e-mail address will only serve to admit guilt and shame of your anti-semetic accusations. Nobody on Earth thinks Garver is a liar, if you want out of this situation, you have to make good with Garver– for He is the only man that can clear your name. Sueing won’t help you either– you must prosecute in the court of public opinion, with Garver as your witness… Or…

Let me try to finish “cleaning out my closet”– I travelled to roughly sixteen countries with Carolla, and got him laid in just about every one of them. He is not a Good person, but, he is not a liar, either. You fucked Carolla (when you were married), isn’t that right, Carolla? People who lie get punished, in mysterious ways…

Kat: steve, just got your texts. I can’t believe you’d say some of that stuff. Nice knowin you.

Steve-O: At least I’m not a liar. Good luck with doing more of that. Liar.

Don’t bother crying to Nikki over the fact that I’m honest. He doesn’t like liars either, and your panties get to easily twisted up in a bitchy, mad-for-no-reason bunch for you to last so much as three weeks with him.

Kat; wrong you. Nikki is a friend. That’s it. Please stop texting me these mean messages.

Steve-O: Sorry for my poor grammar. I had to clean out my closet. Why’d you delete Orbi. Why’d you let your publicist go to the tabloids with “kat dumps steve-o” (only for you to wind up with “steve-o dumped by tattoo artist), why’d you sweep that hate message under the rug for eight months instead of get GOOD press out of SQUASHING IT IF YOU DIDN’T WRITE IT?

Kat: Dude. Enough of this bullshit. My publicist did NOT say anything about our break up. They got that shit from someone on YOUR end. Don’t put that shit on me. I was the one that wanted to keep everything private. And you know that! I’m not gonna take blame for shit I didn’t do. NOW, PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE.

Steve-O: I don’t have a publicist. And nobody on my end would fuck with me like that. My advice is to ask Garver to pull your career out of the fire. He’s the only one who can, and he’s not a liar. Good luck. Game over.

Kat; and ps. My career is not on fire.

Steve-O: Right, it’s not “on fire”, it’s “cooling down” quick…

Kat: STOP TEXTING ME.

Steve-O: Two words. DANNY WAY…

Nowhere in that correspondence did Kat deny that she did, in fact, write that hateful message, and hand it,
herself, to Chris Garver. She cheated on her husband with me, Bam, Carolla, Ville Vallo, my friend, Bryan Gillooly, and God-only-knows who else. And she’s on record lying about alot of things. I don’t care, I’ve moved on now. I’m a happily married Family Man….

Kelly Osbourne graces the cover of this month’s UK’s Fabulous magazine, and in it she talks about what makes her who she is.

Kelly on love. “I’ll go out with a boy and get papped with him and all of a sudden he’s my boyfriend. That doesn’t work for me. I want to be taken out for dinner and know something about them before they become my boyfriend.”

Kelly on boys. “I don’t trust boys - love can make you blind. I’ve fallen head over heels twice in that ‘love is blind’ way and got hurt. Now I’m so guarded that when it gets to that point, I jump ship. I’m frightened I’ll get hurt again.”

Kelly on growing up. “I’ve lived life at a faster pace than most 23 year olds. I’ve grown up a lot in the last year, largely because I’ve done so much stuff. I’m not mature but I’m street-smart. I’m not well read or well educated in the academic sense, but I’m savvy and I can look after myself.”

Kelly on being a brat: “Hell yeah, I can still be a brat, but I have words with myself when I’m being brattish because I know I shouldn’t. I have nothing to complain about - I’m very fortunate.”

Kelly on her personality. “Every day I feel different. I’m not insane, but people think I’m different because I’m not a sheep and I’m not afraid to say what I think.”

Kelly on addiction. “Addiction is a gene. I was born an addict and I’ll always be an addict, but I’ve learnt to live with it. There are different levels of addiction, whether it be drugs, spending money, overeating, or painting your nails 17 times a day. It’s an addictive gene and you have it the rest of your life.”

Kelly on fashion. “Getting dressed in the morning is one of my favourite things. That’s why I enjoy presenting Project Catwalk. I love fashion and I have wardrobes for different moods. I wear what I like and try not to follow trends. I’m stubborn and I don’t want to look like anyone else.”

Kelly on her icons. “Women in the ’50s put themselves together well. There’s such a lack of that now. Marilyn Monroe, Dita Von Teese and Gwen Stefani look good but I’d never steal their style. I have my own.”

Kelly on her parents. “I’d never make a big decision without speaking to my mum. I’d never make a big career decision without talking to my parents. I tell them what I think, they tell me what they think, then I decide what I wanna do.”

Sidenote: Kelly has offered pal Amy Winehouse a place to stay after she completes rehab. Kelly has told Amy that she can stay in the guest cottage at the family’s home in Buckinghamshire, England. It’ll be interesting to see if she takes her up on it.

Entertainment Tonight is airing a multiple part series on Farrah Fawcett’s devastating battle with cancer.

Farrah and best friend Alana Stewart have traveled to Germany and back so Farrah can receive alternative treatments that are available in that country.

During their travels and experiences a video camera accompanied them and caught both special and sobering moments along the way.

Stewart tells ET, “Farrah took her camera to a doctor’s meeting, because she wanted to be able to remember everything. When we were in Germany meeting with the doctor, Farrah handed me the camera. We documented everything, the good, the bad and the ugly.”

“Farrah chose to go to Germany because they are doing a lot of treatments over there that are very cutting edge (and not yet approved in the United States). They inject the tumor directly with chemo, it’s called ‘embolization.’ Your immune system is not compromised as it is when you do the standard.”

In the video Farrah is seen clenching a rosary, being slid into a MRI machine and thanking God for the opportunity to visit a beautiful mountainside, as well as many other emotional moments.

Stewart says Farrah’s exposure in the media has been difficult on the actress.

“The things that have been printed about Farrah through this whole process have been the most stressful part about her recovery, more than battling cancer. One week they are printing that she is dying and the next week they are printing that she is cured. Neither one of those are true. The paparazzi stalk her. They’re waiting outside when she’s getting treatments; they’ve practically run her off the road before.”

Alana adds that one tabloid most likely had access to Fawcett’s medical records.

“She would go to the doctor and have some test, there would be certain results, and three days later it would be printed in this tabloid. Apparently they had someone inside the hospital that was accessing her medical records.”

Stewart says she and Fawcett have been friends for years.

“Farrah and I came [to Los Angeles] at the same time. We were modeling, doing TV commercials and would see each other at auditions. We became friends years later. We’re both Texas girls.”

This compelling and never-before-seen footage is not a film or a documentary; it is a raw and unedited look at Farrah Fawcett as she undergoes a radical and revolutionary new technique to try to save her life. Stewart is inspired by her friend’s courage and bravery, but says Fawcett herself tells her, “The only certainty about cancer is the uncertainty.”

The multiple-part series begins tonight on Entertainment Tonight.

“Luck? That doesn’t matter, people will still say we’re shit anyway.”

-Victoria Beckham doesn’t worry about the critics’ reactions to the Spice Girls‘ comeback tour, which opened on Sunday in Vancouver, Canada.

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has a major crush on his co-star Mandy Moore.

The Rock played Mandy’s husband in the new film Southland Tales. He split from his wife Dany earlier this year and has fallen head over heels for Moore.

He says,

“Mandy is drop dead gorgeous! She is beautiful and sweet and tall! My kind of woman! I can’t say enough great things about her.”

Now wouldn’t that be an odd couple? Go Mandy!

Sarah Jessica Parker says she isn’t bothered by Maxim magazine crowning her as the Most Unsexy Woman in Hollywood.

Most women in Tinseltown would suffer a massive blow to their egos if given the title but not Sarah. Sarah let it roll off her back and responded with class.

“What they don’t know is that one day I’ll wake up fat. But I’ll still be happy, just like I am now. I believe in the old ’sticks and stones’ philosophy, so frankly their words don’t come close to hurting. And it does not bother me in the least if people don’t think I’m sexy. I don’t think I am, either.”
