Mark Ronson snubs Charlize Theron’s music
Celebrated DJ Mark Ronson upset Hollywood superstar Charlize Theron at a recent party – after he snubbed her requests to play reggae music.
The producer was performing a set in Milan, Italy, and was twice approached by a member of the Charlize’s entourage telling him that she wished to listen to her favorite genre. But Ronson refused the requests, insisting the slow-beat musical style would ruin the party atmosphere he had struggled to create.
The South African beauty was so enraged, she complained to the club’s bosses. Ronson tells Britain’s OK magazine, “I was DJ-ing in Milan and it had taken a while to get everyone on the dancefloor. I finally did and then this guy runs up to me and says, ‘Charlize Theron wants you to play some disco reggae.’ I didn’t even know what that was meant to be so I ignored it. “Then 20 minutes later the same guy says, ‘Charlize wants you to play some dancehall reggae.’ I knew if I played that it would clear the dancefloor. Then Charlize came up to me herself and asked why I wasn’t playing it. “It was all a bit weird, she nearly got the poor guy fired who was running the party!”
I agree with Mark, Reggae does slow down the dance vibe and it would have cleared the floor. If she was being so petty about the music being played, she should’ve just went home and listened to it there.

Yeah, that’s what CD players are for. Or, I guess, ipods or whatever. Surely she has these things

Another diva thinking that everything should go her way. If she wasn’t so self-involved she would understand the DJ plans the music ahead of time for most events.

Haha yeah, why didn’t she just pop in her earbuds and listen to it by herself! Sounds like someone has a big head!

She’s awesome couldn’t he have not played his crap for just one song? Reggae is the best.

Charlize (read a-dub), how can you have time to post here? Shouldn’t you be uglifying yourself for another Oscar nomination?

Isn’t it bizzarre that white Afrikaaners who are generally racist, obnoxious, arrogant twats seem to like reggae and dub? I can only think it’s similar to 70′s skinheads liking ska.

Aw, poor wittle Charlize didn’t get to hear her reggae. Mark Ronson should change all of his plans next time to accommodate her ‘needs’. How dare he do his own music.
