Charlize Theron was inducted today as a UN Messenger of Peace, where she’ll focus on ending violence against women and girls around the globe.
The South African native told reporters she will take on her new responsibilities “very humbly, with a very excited heart.”
I didn’t know this about Charlize, but, apparently, at age fifteen she witnessed her mother shoot her alcoholic father to death while he was threatening the family. I can’t even imagine what a horrific and life-altering experience that must be, and it’s fantastic that she’s able to direct that energy toward such a great cause today. Hooray for Oscar-winning actresses who are also great role models. Thank you for showing that people like you exist, Charlize.
You didn’t know that, Beet? It comes up in almost every (magazine) article about Charlize. That’s how I like my celebrities, no famewhoring, good actress and a passionate heart.
I’ve been through worse. I just never dressed up as an ugly prostitute to win an oscar. Therefore, I can’t be a “UN Messenger of Peace.” Fuck this retarded bitch. She’s a hypocrite in interviews.
and she needs to fix her hair… yech.
Great cause??? Why anyone would want to publicize their relationship with the abject failure that is the UN is beyond me. Oh well.
Wow, this does make me think more of her… She seems so normal in the face of it all. She doesn’t seem to have that “poor me, my family life sucks” syndrome like Lindsay Lohan does. Perhaps Pierce Brosnan saw something genuine in her after all.
Gee Brad, if you’ve been through more, maybe you’d have a little compassion?
brad- jealous much? boo hoo. I’m sure if you wanted to help the world you could, without being a celebrity. fuck anyone who gets all pissy on celebs when they are trying to do ACTUAL good for the ACTUAL world.
JEEZ
yay on Charlize being the new Angelina. I like my women smart, sexy, and charitable.
“It comes across as this really sad need for approval. 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. Like, your life belongs to us now? That’s the deal? I didn’t get that memo. It wasn’t sent to me and I didn’t sign it. So, fuck you.â€
My favorite Charlize quote. smart and witty. and I find it very hard to believe you never knew of Charlize’s history, Beet. I would’ve thought you’ve seen every e! THS there is..?
she is so pretty, and a good actress. and she seems like a perfectly nice, fairly normal person: no adultery, no DUIs, no lawsuits, no tantrums…what’s with all the hate?
