As Japanese basics purveyor Uniqlo has expanded into markets beyond Asia, it’s made a concerted effort to take things to a higher level, at least when it comes to design. The brand’s first big campaign here in the US included scenesters like Chloe Sevigny and Kim Gordon. Uniqlo quickly became the poor man’s APC, or the cool guy’s Gap, however you want to look at it.

But that was in 2007, before the recession hit. Now, being cool isn’t as important as being beloved by the masses. Uniqlo’s taking a cue from competitor Gap, releasing a “Made For All” campaign starring international celebrities Charlize Theron and Orlando Bloom.

The campaign makes sense. Uniqlo’s mission is to provide well-made, good-looking clothes to everyone. But are Charlize and Orlando the right ambassadors? We’re not so sure. When we think of innate style, they’re not the first celebs that come to our minds.

But they do have the global recognition Uniqlo is looking for, so until Maggie Gyllenhaal and Ryan Gosling become household names everywhere, we suppose we can’t complain.

Following her split with boyfriend Stuart Townsend, Hollywood superstar Charlize Theron has decided to rent their Malibu beachhouse for USD 50,000 a month.

The Oscar-winner used the house for romantic weekends with Irish actor, who moved out after the end of their nine-year-long relationship in January this year. He is a co-owner of the house.

The three-bedroom cottage-style home comes with a much sought-after ocean front location, Daily Mail reported.

According to Realtor.com the 2,095 square foot 1930 house sits on the sands of Malibu in one of the Californian towns most exclusive communities.

A deck area for entertaining guests backs onto a stretch of golden sand, while in the master bedroom the occupants can relax in a Jacuzzi.

The house is on the iconic Pacific Coast Highway, with two private parking spaces for vehicles.
Pictures show a well-stocked modern kitchen, with photos of pet dogs on the wall and pots of sunflowers to brighten the area.

Plants and trees are scattered around the indoor seating area, which boasts a modern pared-down style.

Theron, 34, also owns another home in Los Angeles, where she spends much of her time when not away filming.

The actress has since been linked to actor Keanu Reeves after they were spotted hugging in the street last month. They starred together in ‘The Devil’s Advocate’ in 1997 and ‘Sweet November’ in 2001.

It’s time for Brad Pitt and Charlize Theron to get together.

No, not because they’re two of the most beautiful people in Hollywood, but…

Like Mr. Pitt, Theron would love to see the U.S. host the FIFA World Cup again, as it did back in 1994.

“It would be amazing,” Theron told me exclusively at Spike TV’s Guys Choice Awards. “I think it would be incredible for the sport.

“If the [U.S.] plays well—fingers crossed—it could really really change things and it could be great for the sport here,” she said of this year’s soon-to-begin soccer tournament. “I’m all for it.”

Pitt announced just five days ago that he has joined the board of directors for the committee putting together the U.S. bid to host the month-long Cup in 2018 or 2022. The decision will be announced on Dec. 2.

Theron will be at this year’s tournament, which kicks off June 11, in her native South Africa in support of her charity, Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project. And after that, she’s off to Australia for a year to film Mad Max: Fury Road.

Charlize Theron walked out of ‘Iron Man 2′.

The Oscar-winning actress went to Los Angeles’ Arclight Theater to catch a showing of the Robert Downey Jr. movie with a male friend, but left before the film had finished.

Charlize – who was recently spotted kissing actor Keanu Reeves on a night out – ate an ice cream during the movie and sat towards the back of the screen, but walked out half way through the action adventure.

Recently, the South African star admitted she doesn’t like sharing intimate details about her life thanks to lessons learnt from her mother.

She said: “There are little things that I want to hang on to for myself. I really do believe you can make certain choices in your life that give you the life you really do like.

“There are certain things in my life that I hold on to very sacredly. Maybe it was the way I was raised. My mom used to always say, ‘There’s certain things that are yours and you don’t share that.’ ”
