Oscar winners Charlize Theron and Christopher Walken will soon add another trophy to their collection — Hasty Pudding awards.
The awards, announced today, are given each year to performers who have made a “lasting and impressive contribution to the world of entertainment,” by Hasty Pudding Theatricals at Harvard University, the nation’s oldest undergraduate drama troupe.
Theron will be honored Feb. 7 with the traditional Woman of the Year parade and roast in productions that rival broadway shows, and Walken will be similarly celebrated as Man of the Year during a tribute on Feb. 15.

Los Angeles police are investigating a break-in that took place Saturday at the actress’ Hollywood Hills home, E! News has confirmed.
The residence had been secured Thursday, according to an LAPD spokesperson, but an unknown number of suspects took the liberty of reopening it over the weekend.
It’s unknown at this time what, if anything, was taken from the house or if anyone who was supposed to be there was on the premises at the time.
Theron’s neighbors did not report seeing any suspicious characters, police said.
There was no immediate comment from the Oscar winner’s publicist.

Actress Charlize Theron is scared of magazine editors because she believes that they distort images of the celebrities by giving people an unrealistic view of beauty.
Theron admits that she owes her glamorous look in the magazine to the team of stylists and intense air-brushing.
However, the Monster star believes that the practice is misleading the public.
“We’re starting to believe that when we see celebrities they’re supposed to look like the magazine covers that they appear on. That’s just not true,” Contactmusic quoted Theron, as saying.
“That’s 4,000 professionals plastering make-up and doing hair and wearing big gowns and air-brushing. That’s not reality,” she added.

4 Charlize Theron: The Oscar winner, who stars in “In the Valley of Elah,” says her favorite scenes were the ones where she has no dialogue. “A look can speak volumes,” says Theron, who plays a police detective looking for a soldier who has gone missing after returning from Iraq. Adds Theron: “For me, it reminds me of being a ballerina for 12 years and never having words. In fact, I’m not a big fan of words and directors hate me sometimes for that fact. I have a very clear understanding of how powerful the physical can be. You can have an entire monologue, and sometimes as actors we get lost in those showy moments. …

Charlize Theron has signed a multi-year deal with Italian luxury watch and jewellery brand, Breil Milano. The Oscar-winning Monster star was shot for Breil’s upcoming campaign in LA, looking pensive whilst laden with jewels and timepieces from Breil’s Eden and Eros collections. “Ms Theron was chosen not only for her natural beauty, but because she epitomises the modern woman; a mix of sensuality and determination, sophistication and down-to-earth attitude, elegance and simplicity,” said a spokesperson for the label. The new campaign will debut another “star” – the new Breil Milano mantra, “Touch, Feel, Breil” – when it breaks in the European and US press in the run up to Christmas.

Charlize Theron has heaped praise on her “incredible” boyfriend Stuart Townsend after watching him toil over his first movie script. The Oscar-winning actress reveals Townsend wrote the screenplay for Battle in Seattle at the home the couple shares in Los Angeles – and suffered the rejections and nerves as her partner attempted to shop his script around Hollywood. She says, “The amount of passion, of time and effort that he committed to writing that script really blew me away. “When you love somebody and you’re that close somebody, we always expect the worst because he had never written a script before, but we’re very good at kind of separating our work from our relationship so, …

Stuart Townsend and Charlize Theron are husband and wife – even if not legally.
“I’m married,” Townsend told PEOPLE this week. “I didn’t do a church wedding or anything, but we’re married. We’re husband and wife.”
“We love each other and we want to spend our lives together,” the 34-year-old actor said about his nearly seven-year relationship with Theron, 32, who he calls “the greatest woman I’ve ever met.”
“We didn’t have a ceremony,” he added. “I don’t need a certificate or the state or the church to say otherwise. So no there’s no big official story on a wedding, but we are married. … I consider her my wife and she considers me her husband.”
The couple, who …

Charlize Theron is the latest Hollywood star to call for US troops to leave Iraq.
The Oscar-winning actress spoke at the Venice Film Festival, where her latest movie is in competition.
In The Valley of Elah is based on the true story of a soldier who goes missing on his first weekend back after serving in Iraq and is reported AWOL.
Theron plays Emily Sanders, the detective leading the investigation into his disappearance.
Fellow actress Scarlett Johansson is planning a morale-boosting visit to troops stationed in Iraq.
Asked if she would do the same, Theron replied: “I think it’s great that she’s doing that, but I’d like to see them come home – be looked after, be nurtured.
“Nothing would give …

I stumbled across this last night and immediately thought it was Charlize. Based on the legs for days and the inner ankle tattoo featured in the photo below, it certainly looks like it could be her and if you put that together with the clues below, it certainly sounds an awful lot like her as well. There will be more clues over the coming months, so stay tuned and feel free to post your comments below.

She drinks Gibsons, could be mistaken for one of the Judd sisters, and makes a mean lamb chop. Who is she?

The French poet and musician Serge Gainsbourg once said, “Ugliness is in a way superior to beauty because it lasts.” You get a sense that Charlize Theron might agree-but you also get a sense that such concerns of ugliness vs. beauty just don’t matter to her.
See, Theron is a classic screen beauty. The South African-born actress started as a dancer, as did Audrey Hepburn. She has the physical virtues that make her a natural for such roles as the dark heroine in Aeon Flux, the model muse to Kenneth Branagh’s stand-in Woody Allen in Celebrity, or as Peter Sellers’ put-upon lover in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers. Beautiful actresses are a dime a …
