Charlize attended W Magazine’s 69th Annual Golden Globes Award Celebration in Los Angeles. I love her new hair extensions. I guess she’ll be wearing them tomorrow for the Golden Globes awards!

Charlize is on the cover of next month’s issue of W magazine. Scans of the magazines were from Kroqjock and have been uploaded in the gallery. Here is an excerpt of the article from the magazine.

Lynn Hirschberg: In Young Adult, you play Mavis Gary, who is stunning on the outside and a mess on the inside. Returning to the small town in Minnesota where she reigned as the beauty/bitch of her high school, Mavis sets out to reclaim her ex-boyfriend, now married. She is self-involved, delusional, and generally hard to like, which is rare for a female protagonist in a comedy. Do you have to like a character to play her?
Charlize Theron: I liked Mavis, but no, I don’t think I need to like my characters. I do think empathy is very important. It’s crucial to understand circumstance and story to grasp the role in a truthful manner. Your characters are like your children: Sometimes they make you proud, and other times, you think, Oh, really?! In Young Adult, I wanted to show some cringe-worthy moments that only women will get.

Like the “cutlets.” Mavis wears flesh-­colored glue-on gel-filled “breasts” over her real ones.
I wear those! If you don’t have boobs, you wear those cutlets. I heard a story of a girl who was on a date, started making out, and thought, Oh, he’s going to touch the cutlets! So she went to the bathroom to take them off, but her purse was too small to put them in there. I always thought that was a funny image, a woman not knowing what to do with these things that you stick onto your boobs. It’s just the most bizarre, unsexy thing there is—so I added that to Mavis.

Growing up in South Africa, were you always tall and blonde and beautiful?
For the first eight years of my life, I didn’t have front teeth. I was pretty sick as an infant, and antibiotics rotted them. But then I started to take dance classes, and I eventually got some teeth [laughs]. When I was 16, I went to Milan to model.

Did you dream of being an actress?
I wanted to be a ballerina, but I was too tall, and I had too many injuries. What I loved as a ballerina was telling stories, and I could also do that with acting, so I eventually moved to L.A.

You had a star-is-born moment as a result of your first role. For 2 Days in the Valley, you were on a billboard over Sunset Boulevard for a very long time. What was the audition for that movie like?
I remember I was in a catsuit. I’d never auditioned before, and I almost brought a bottle of ketchup and squirted it all over myself for the scene where I got shot. I looked like a maniac. It was a dying scene, so I barged through the door and started crawling on the floor. I think they were too scared not to give me the role.

Charlize is on the cover of Elle France January issue. She looks so gorgeous. The cover and editorial was taken by Mark Seliger. I’ve also added the latest event images of Charlize from the Critics Choice Awards and Variety’s 10 Directors To Watch. I’ve also added more photos from the Palm Springs Film Festival. Also to complete the 2011 magazine collection, I’ve added scans of Vanity Fair Italy October issue, LA Confidental December and El Pais Semanal December issue.

Variety gives actress Indie Impact Award, eyes 10 new directors.

An emotional, humble and candid Charlize Theron took center stage Sunday, musing about the importance of the independent filmmaker.

The 36-year-old actress received the Indie Impact Award from Variety magazine during the trade publication’s annual awards brunch at The Parker Palm Springs, joining the ranks of past honorees Mark Wahlberg and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

“I don’t know if I’ve had an impact on the indie world,” Theron said upon receiving her award. “But I know the indie world has had an impact on me.”

Theron is the star of the much-lauded Diablo Cody film “Young Adult” and was recognized along with Variety’s hand-picked “10 Directors to Watch.”

“My career could have been very different, and I know, and I feel a hundred percent sure, that I have the career that I have today because of independent filmmaking. And that coincides with independent filmmakers — and I’m pointing at all of you who are here today — who had the (guts) to believe in me,” she said, showering the “10 Directors to Watch” with her own appreciation.

Variety executive editor Steve Gaydos agreed the 10 young directors deserved praise, calling them the battery that has re-energized the film industry “who just keep the heart of cinema alive.”

“We are only as good as the opportunities we are given,” Theron said. “And I can stand here and take credit for all this, but I don’t own any of that. I feel blessed that people have believed in me more than I’ve believed in myself and have given me a path and a stage, which was independent filmmaking, to really showcase what I really wanted to do.”

Then on the brink of tears, her voice a bit cracked, Theron thanked Variety: “I never feel worthy of these things.”

Before the near-tearful moment, the event did have light moments thanks to the comedic chemistry of Theron and her “Young Adult” co-star Patton Oswalt.

Oswalt made Theron blush several times, calling her the “most gorgeous of the gorgeous.”

“Don’t hide that delightful face. It’s keeping the bees alive,” he said to her from the stage as she sat at her table, hands over her eyes.

But as soon as Theron hit the stage, she made sure to return the favor by reminding the crowd she’s been naked with Oswalt for the sex scene in “Young Adult.”

“There’s a sexy man under that suit there,” she said.

Oswalt, who presented Theron with the Indie Impact Award, told The Desert Sun that he had mixed feelings about the award his co-star received.

“I’m torn. I’m excited for her to get the honor because she did such a good job in ‘Young Adult,’ but what I think this honor should focus on is the fact that she’s as good as she is and she’s this young,” Oswalt said.

He repeated that sentiment on stage to the crowd of more than 100 people, to which Theron shouted: “make sure you hit the ‘young’ part.”

Oswalt called Theron’s work ethic “like this samurai discipline” that doesn’t stop with just her scenes.

“There were other scenes — which were about me, not her — where she was able to do stuff to make my performance better. That’s a great actor she wants everyone in the scene to be awesome,” Oswalt said.

An example he shared was when during his monologue in the woods in “Young Adult” Theron stuck around to watch him complete the scene.

“There was no reason for her to be there. It was two in the morning, it was freezing, but she walks back into the woods to stand off-camera in my eye line and then purposely give me nothing. She didn’t react to me, which was what the scene needed. It totally changed my performance,” Oswalt said.

“When you work with Charlize, you’re working with another director. She is just as involved in every aspect of the film as the director, as the writer, in the best possible way.”

I’ve added images of Charlize from her guest appearance from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Just wanted to say Happy New Years to everyone!

I’ve added additional photos of Charlize from the Paramount studios. The set is now up to 50+ photos. Check out some of the additions below.

Charlize Theron says there are more important things in life than chasing “a love story”.

The Hollywood actress stars alongside Patrick Wilson in the new comedy-drama Young Adult. Charlize plays divorced woman Mavis Gary, who returns to her small hometown to win back her happily married high school sweetheart, portrayed by Patrick.

Charlize doesn’t have the same mentality as her film character.

“When you are a teenager you think that love is the only important thing in your life. The only thing you need. But when you grow up you realise that love is not enough. You understand that there are things more important than a love story,” she explained in an interview with Gioia magazine.

Charlize has talked about her upbringing.

The stunning star says she was always allowed her to express her creativity.

“Not at all,” she responded when asked if she was a troublesome teen. “I was a very quiet and imaginative girl. I grew up on a farm in South Africa and I was surrounded by incredible scenery. There I learned to dream.

“My parents have taught me to be honest and not to pretend to be what I am not.”
