Will Smith & DJ Jazzy Jeff Reunite for Hancock Premiere

Originally posted 07/01/2008 12:30PM

Forget the free popcorn. There was an extra-special added bonus to the Hancock premiere in Hollywood Monday night: an impromptu show from leading man Will Smith and his old partner in rap, DJ Jazzy Jeff.

"I'm out of shape – I'm playing an out of shape superhero here," Smith, 39, said on a stage surrounded by carefully wrecked cars, "prison-cage" private lounges and a moon bounce for the kids.

But Smith seemed anything but winded in the party space outside Hollywood High School as he performed many of his hit songs, including the theme from the TV show that launched him to stardom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Charlize Theron slams attention-seeking celebrities, calling them "sad" in the latest issue of British GQ.

"It comes across as this really sad need for approval," the Monster Oscar winner says in the magazine's July issue. "I've heard people make comments like, 'You don't really want to be in the tabloids but you need to be for your career.' They believe it's actually important. It's not. It's ugly."

Charlize Theron Says Marriage Is Not for Her

Originally posted 06/04/2008 03:05PM

Despite having been with Irish-actor boyfriend Stuart Townsend for seven years, Charlize Theron feels no seven-year itch to wander – or to get married, either.

"I think if you are in a one- or two-year relationship, love is enough. You can thrive on that," the Monster Oscar winner, 32, tells Glamour for its July issue.

But, adds Theron, "when you hit years three and four, you realize that if you're going to live with somebody ... you have to be nurtured emotionally and spiritually, and you have to be intrigued. Because if that intrigue runs out, you're not going to want to go home anymore."

As for why Townsend is the special one for her, Theron says, "He's got beautiful feet and hands."

Charlize Theron: Happily Unmarried

Originally posted 05/15/2008 12:40PM

When Charlize Theron discusses her boyfriend of seven years, Irish actor Stuart Townsend, she's apt to get primal.

"Man, woman. Like to touch each other," is the Monster Oscar winner's "cavewoman grunt" response when asked about their relationship by W magazine, for its June issue.

Though Theron, 32, refers to Townsend, 35, as her husband, and she even sports a ring on the proper finger, the two are, in fact, not legally wed, says the magazine. And that's fine with Theron.

Charlize Theron may have reflected '20s-style Hollywood glamour in the stunning beaded gown she wore to the 2004 Oscars, when she won as Best Actress for Monster – but this year she plans on something completely different.

Her pajamas.

At least that's what the South Africa-born actress, 32, revealed Friday at the Dublin International Film Festival, where her director and actor boyfriend Stuart Townsend's new movie, Battle in Seattle, premiered, reports Britain's Press Association.

She may have dropped out of high school, but Charlize Theron still went to Harvard – for the day, at least.

The actress headed to the esteemed university in Cambridge, Mass., Thursday to receive their Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year award. So what is she going to do with her prize, the coveted Pudding Pot?

"I'm going to make a stew [in it], and then I'm going to eat it," she told reporters at the event, hosted by Hasty Pudding Theatricals (the nation's oldest collegiate theater group, known for burlesque musicals featuring cross-dressing men). "I'm going to look at it and remember today and how much fun I had."

Oscars are one thing, but Charlize Theron and Christopher Walken will soon have something equally golden for their mantles: Hasty Pudding pots.

The annual Harvard trophies, awarded to those who've made a "lasting and impressive contribution to the world of entertainment," are dispensed by the university's Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the nation's oldest undergraduate drama troupe.

The ceremony traditionally involves a parade and male students dressed as women. The recipients last year were Ben Stiller and Scarlett Johansson, preceded in 2006 by Halle Berrry and Richard Gere.

This year, Monster Oscar winner Theron, 32, gets her Pudding pot (as the prize is called) Feb. 7; Walken, 64, whose Oscar was for The Deer Hunter and who last year was married to John Travolta (in Hairspray), gets his Feb. 15.

Not to be outdone, Harvard Lampoon's "Hastiest Pudding of the Lampoon Award" is being given out on Feb. 6, to Paris Hilton, reports the Associated Press.
