Purse p0rn!! Here are some photos of a very sunny-looking Charlize Theron in West Hollywood yesterday. Will Charlize dethrone Reese Witherspoon as the relatable blonde Hollywood mom? Doubtful, although I did make myself laugh with that one. Charlize’s default is set on “hardcore” so seeing photos of her looking smiley and happy are the exception to the rule. While I usually loathe most yellow clothes, Charlize’s outfit is super-cute. And I love the purse.
Charlize is about to start work on Seth MacFarlane’s directorial follow-up to Ted, a film called A Million Ways To Die In The West. It’s supposed to be a Blazing Saddles-type cowboy comedy, and Charlize is the lead. The rest of the cast has been firmed up too, and Charlize will be supported by: Liam Neeson, Amanda Seyfried, Sarah Silverman, Giovanni Ribisi and Neil Patrick Harris. NPH!! LIAM!! Okay, that sounds really interesting.
Charlize recently came to Capitol Hill to campaign for more funding for PEPFAR, the president’s emergency AIDS relief program (which George W. Bush started).
When Charlize Theron came to Capitol Hill recently, she undoubtedly turned a few heads. But the Academy Award-winning actress didn’t come to be seen; she came to be heard.
Ten years after President Bush began an emergency AIDS relief program, known as PEPFAR, Theron is calling on the United States to renew its commitment in the global fight against HIV/AIDS.
“We’re looking at our first AIDS-free generation being born in 2015,” Theron tells Top Line. “We can’t stop now.”
Theron runs an AIDS support program for youth from her home country of South Africa, Africa Outreach Project, where 10 percent of the population has the disease, and met with members of Congress to talk about her work. Her advocacy for continued monetary assistance comes at a time when lawmakers have little appetite for increased spending, but the South African actress says the U.S.’s contributions to foreign aid efforts are more modest than some think.
“A lot of Americans have this misperception that foreign aid is around 25 percent, which it’s not. It’s less than 1 percent,” says Theron.
Executive Director of UNAIDS Michel Sidibé accompanied Theron during her Capitol Hill visit and says the United States has been a crucial partner in making progress against AIDS.
“The taxpayer’s money is producing results, starting with the commitment of President Bush, bringing the emergency plan, showing that we can really save lives of people when no one was having any hope,” Sidibé says. “It was $15,000 per person per year. Today we have 8 million people on treatment. We save millions of lives.”
Charlize’s actions are admirable… but I seriously doubt she’s going to get any extra funding from Congress. And not to put it all on the House’s screwed-up spending priorities – I doubt Pres. Obama wants to waste any political capital on PEPFAR too. Not when funding has been slashed for Meals On Wheels, Head Start, TSA, air traffic controllers, the US Geological Survey (the people monitoring volcanos and earthquakes), and the Department of Defense. I know it sucks, but there it is.

she is babin’! makes me wanna cut my hair short again.
Don’t!
You’ll thank me later 😉
Me too! I just LOVE seeing her with short hair again. Long hair does NOT do her justice…when you’re THAT beautiful, short hair is almost a must!
Love the outfit!
(Shirt could be slightly better shade for her coloring, though…)
She has possibly one of the only body types that look actually really good in skinny jeans – sure everyone wears them, but they rarely look decent
That hair cut looks like a comb-over. I know it’s not one, but still…
She always looks like a supermodel which makes her very hard to relate to. But I still like her. And she actually can act which will always score points.
She’s always gorgeous but that top makes her look too boxy.
Love the color but the fit/shape of it is not good for anyone.
She’s still growing her hair out from a role she played. It seems to be at an awkward stage right now.
She’s so overrated.
Last time she was beautiful was in the 90s/early 2000.
Now she’s just pudgy faced and old looking.
What?? If Charlize is pudgy faced and old looking than I want to be pudgy faced and old looking.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but to say that Charlize is pudgy faced and old looking seems really, really off base.
You are only justified in writing this if you are Olivia Wilde.
I think her hair’s at a good length! It looks cute!
My forever girl crush. Love her!
Not a fan of the screaming bright yellow on anyone.
+1
+2 Only the sun can pull off that color… and even the sun, in all of her sunny glory, tones the yellow down by blinding us 🙂
Love her and want those pants.
How is this even a question? It’s Charlize, so yes, of course she looks gorgeous! The woman is a goddess.
Yeah, good looking lady. What amazes me, is that she is still single. There must be hundreds of guys lining up outside her bedroom, applying for the position as her boyfriend. And she chooses to hang out with mum. Strange. Never believed there was anything between her an Seth McGiggle.
Perhaps she is content to give Skarsgard a bootycall when she need some action in bed.
I know, always with her mum. You would think she has some female friends for a night out.
I know….I think this too about Sandra Bullock, Cameron Diaz & Sheryl Crow who seem to have everything going for them. It could be because they are so successful that they are intimidating to men. Who knows?
I’m not a purse person, so maybe that’s it, but I don’t see what’s so great about the purse, seems kind of boring to me.
I’m okay with the TSA funding being cut. Less sex offenders to grope us and not find terrorists.
Yellow is my absolute favorite color, except maybe a little more subdued, so I like her outfit and her cute flats. Love the hair…not everyone call pull that hairstyle off.
I’m not a fan of hers, but she looks great here. Cute outfit.
