Charlize and Stanley Tucci will be in attendance at the 10th annual Sarasota Film Festival, which runs April 4-13, 2008. They are set to be honored at the festival along with Ted Hope.
South African Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron (“Monster”, “In the Valley of Elah”) has signed a contract with hotel, resort and casino group Sun International to star in its new brand campaign.
According to Business Times the campaign will be flighted on TV in April. Sun International CE David Coutts-Trotter says that the parallels between Sun International and Theron are wonderful as both are South African born and internationally acclaimed.
The ad campaign is produced by Anant Singh of Videovision Entertainment and directed by Ian Gabriel (“Forgiveness”), and sees the first major international celebrity signing an advertising deal with an African hotel, resort and casino chain.

Susan Sarandon and Charlize Theron are two talented actresses. Theron is a gorgeous woman who has come a long way since “2 Days in the Valley” to prove herself a capable and talented actress. It is hard work for a woman to succeed in Hollywood to the degree she has and she brings this struggle to her role as Detective Emily Sanders, a woman who is ridiculed by her fellow police officers who believe that she earned her detectives badge solely by sleeping with police chief Buchwald (Josh Brolin). Theron brings intelligence to her performance and holds her own rather nicely against Jones, an actor who routinely delivers a powerful performance. Sarandon has a lesser role as Hank Deerfield´s wife Joan, but her performance as a heartbroken and frustrated housewife is nothing short of brilliant.
Thank you to Jess for making Charlize Central the featured site of the month at Blue Jewel, her wonderful Naomi Watts site.

Charlize Theron is the happiest of celebrities. The stunning South African-born Oscar winner may regularly grace magazine covers and seems to live the high life – and yes, when working she travels with extensive entourages. Yet her best moments, she says, are the smaller personal ones, spent with Irish actor Stuart Townsend, her partner in love and in intrepid adventures, on the hoof to one of the far-flung reaches of the planet.
When she recently took a year and a half away from acting to develop her own films and regain her energy – following her Oscar campaign for North Country and her taxing stint as an action hero in Aeon Flux, she naturally took off with her handsome beau.

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.
“We are not going. I don’t think you go to those kind of award shows unless you are nominated,” says Theron of the Feb. 24 event at the Kodak Theatre.
“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.”
Something else Theron isn’t rushing to dress formally for: her and Townsend’s wedding.
“I have no plans on getting married,” she declared.
