This is Charlize Theron at the New York premiere of The Burning Plain at The Landmark Theatre. Now, I think a lot of Charlize’s beauty. I think she’s a glamazon, I think she takes fashion risks, and I think she can get away with almost anything. It pains me when she wears something as blah and boring as this utterly average navy dress. The dress (and the boring hair and makeup) make it seem like she wasn’t even trying. The little peeptoe faux-booties are another story. Is anyone else reminded of Sandra Bullock’s hot mess outfit at her recent premiere? These insane, zippered, faux-booties cut off the line of Charlize’s legs, which is totally dumb. Charlize has great legs – why does she want to look so stumpy?

Anyway, while out promoting The Burning Plain, Charlize stopped by The View, and she ended up talking about her total and complete support for gay marriage. Some of this stuff she’s said before, like she wouldn’t get married until gay couples were allowed. Once she even went further than that, saying American marriage laws were “a form of apartheid”. In context, Charlize said: “I don’t like living in an elitist world, it bothers me. I don’t want to be part of an elitist sexual preference. Maybe it’s because I come from a country where I lived under apartheid. This is a form of apartheid and I don’t want to be a part of that.” On The View, she basically reiterates her points, but says she wouldn’t be able to “sleep” with herself if she got married right now:

Another Hollywood star who refuses to marry until it’s something everyone can do: Charlize Theron, who has no plans to tie the knot with Stuart Townsend, her boyfriend of eight years. She talked about marriage equality, something she has previously supported, Thursday on ‘The View.’

“I don’t want to get married because right now the institution of marriage feels very one-sided, and I want to live in a country where we all have equal rights,” Theron said.

“I think it would be exactly the same if we were married, but for me to go through that kind of ceremony, because I have so many friends who are gays and lesbians who would so badly want to get married, that I wouldn’t be able to sleep with myself.”

I guess she was trying to say that she couldn’t sleep knowing there were people out there not enjoying equal rights. She just said it a weird way. In one last piece of Charlize news, she gave an interview to Parade Magazine. Most of the interview is pretty boring, but Charlize did say one interesting thing about romantic comedies: “I like conflicted women because I feel like we get so little of that. I think every director that works with me always kind of comments on the fact that it is quite ironic that I haven’t done comedy because there is zero drama about me. But, I think taste really applies to comedy, maybe even more than drama. I think a sense of humor is a very personal thing and I don’t know if I am talented enough to do romantic comedies.” Oh, Charlize. Quick, find a rom-com script for a statuesque blonde bombshell! The “meet-cute” can be when Charlize falls in her insane faux-booties, and she’s caught by… Patrick Dempsey. Ugh. I grossed myself out.
