Charlize Theron Kisses Woman for $140,000

Charlize Theron raised $140,000 by kissing a girl.

The 34-year-old actress stunned guests at the OneXOne charity event in San Francisco last Thursday October 22, with a foul-mouthed outburst after bidding for her offering of a trip to South Africa to watch a game at the soccer World Cup in 2010 and a meet-and-greet with Nelson Mandela raised just $37,000, and vowed to smooch the lucky bidder if the price was raised.

Referring to an earlier offering from Jeremy Piven which saw two walk-on roles in his US drama ‘Entourage’ sold for a total of $275,000, she said, “For f**ks sake! You can do better. There is no way I am leaving here with Jeremy Piven getting a higher bid.”

Charlize, who took over hosting the event after ‘Bourne Ultimatum’ star Matt Damon pulled out due to a “family emergency,” was shocked when an unnamed woman offered the staggering sum but agreed to lock lips as the cheering crowd counted down the seconds.

The South African-born star, who is in a long-term relationship with Irish actor Stuart Townsend, 36, joked after the 20-second kiss, “My boyfriend is not here.”

Charlize’s offering raised money for the Charlize Theron African Outreach Project, which is teaming with the OneXOne Foundation to bring soccer pitches and clean water to the children of South Africa by 2010. Other celebrities at the event included Josh Groban, Carlos Santana and David Arquette.

Charlize Theron Is Not an Exhibitionist

Charlize Theron is not “an exhibitionist”. The ‘Burning Plain’ actress – who appears naked in the first scene of the movie, and has also stripped off in ‘Monster’ and ‘The Devil’s Advocate’ – insists she only flashes flesh on film if it is integral to the storyline.

She explained, “I’m not some exhibitionist. I think people think I just love walking around naked.”

“When you start making it about yourself, you stand in the way of doing your job. I have to sit in an editing room with the director and a bunch of execs, and if I had to sit there and think about myself and these men watching me, I think that would make me insecure. I’m just like every other girl out there. I would cringe.”

The 34-year-old actress added making ‘The Burning Plain’ – in which she stars as Sylvia, a woman who found out her mother was having an affair when she was a teenager – made her think about her own upbringing.

Charlize’s parents had a turbulent relationship, culminating in her father being shot dead by her mother after he attacked her when Charlize was 15.

She told the USA Today newspaper, “I looked at my parents and I was so judgmental, and you don’t understand the struggles of what it is to be in a marriage and be committed and raise children and to be part of a family.

“Their marriage wasn’t great. As a child, you see things very differently, and then I got older and I went, ‘Wow, that’s amazing.’ You start going out with a couple of boys, and some of them aren’t so nice. There’s a lot more that plays into this whole relationship thing than you think.”

Need to find your way around Charlize Theron’s super-big house? According to the NY Daily News, she tells guests on their way to the restroom to hang a left at the Oscar, which you can see “clearly from the hallway.” The source (believe them or not) adds that “You can’t miss it!”

Well well. I think that sounds cool. She’s getting some use out of the thing, and it’s not just gathering dust in a glass cabinet. Golf claps!
