‘Snow White and the Huntsman‘ star Charlize Theron tells W magazine’s February issue about her first acting audition.

“I remember I was in a catsuit. I had 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.”

The actress also shares that she spent the early years of her life without teeth:

“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 class, and I eventually got some teeth.”

I love awards season! So many reasons to love and hate on celeb fashion! I see several hits and a few misses at last night’s Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, held at the Hollywood Palladium.

In attendance: Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Charlize Theron, Kirsten Dunst, Michelle Williams, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Emma Stone, Evan Rachel Wood, Tilda Swinton, Elle Fanning, Elizabeth Olsen and more!

Who do you think knocked it out of the park? And who failed?

Charlize Theron was emotional on Saturday as she was honored for her independent movie work at the Palm Springs International Film Festival in California.

The Oscar-winning actress was the guest of honour at a star-studded gala held at The Parker Hotel, where she received the Variety Indie Impact Award.

Theron, who has appeared in low-budget pictures such as North Country, In the Valley of Elah and The Burning Plain, was handed the prize by Patton Oswalt, her co-star in new movie Young Adult.

Accepting the award, she gushed, “I never feel worthy of these things, so thank you to Variety, thank you.”

Previous recipients of the prize include Philip Seymour Hoffman and Mark Wahlberg.

She looks absolutely stunning in that black dress!

Charlize Theron appeared at the Los Angeles premiere of her latest movie, ‘Young Adult’ looking gorgeous, if you ask me. She’s wearing a dress by Stella McCartney. While I’m not in love with the dress, I think she looks beautiful anyway!

I saw ‘Young Adult’ earlier this week (review here), and in a nutshell, I really liked it. It’s dark, and sad, but Charlize was great! What are other critics saying about her new movie, which opens today?

The film reunites director Jason Reitman with Juno screenwriter, Diablo Cody. Theron plays Mavis Gary, a 40-year-old writer of teen fiction who sees a chance to return to her small hometown as a way to relive her glory days and recapture her high school sweetheart, Buddy (Patrick Wilson).

The Hollywood Reporter’s chief film critic, Todd McCarthy, felt the film could have been longer and explored the story more, but he says the highlight of the film was in its acting, including Theron’s performance.

“Jumping into the deep end with an essentially unlikeable character who is nonetheless compelling and sometimes great fun to watch, Theron is terrific,” he says in his review. “She makes Mavis’ arrogance and certainty of her own allure not only convincing but enjoyable.”

Chicago Sun-Times critic, Roger Ebert agrees, simply saying “Theron is flawless at playing a cringe-inducing monster.”

The New York Observer’s Rex Reed raves about the actress’ performance in his review. “Another triumphant performance by Charlize Theron informs and enhances the otherwise uneven Young Adult,” he opens up his review of the film. Reed says that even if the film may at times feel laborious to watch, Theron’s acting makes it worth it.

“Ms. Theron, a true beauty and one of the screen’s most exquisite actors,” Reed writes. “Keeps the film airborne even when it seems dangerously earthbound. She’s a one-woman emergency rescue squad.”

In fact, most critics seem to have a universal appreciation for the actress’ performance in the role despite feeling that the film doesn’t quite live up to its promise. Salon’s Andrew O’Hehir calls the film “painful in the wrong way” and feels as if it fails in giving Theron’s performance the spotlight it deserves.

“It’s a fearless performance, but beyond sheer voyeurism Reitman and Cody never give us a reason to pay attention to Mavis,” the critic writes. “Let alone give three-quarters of a crap about what becomes of her.”

If you don’t mind dark comedies, I reccommend this movie. But if you’re looking for a light-hearted comedy – or romcom – skip this one!

Charlize Theron is enjoying being on her own, after a couple of very long relationships.

On Wednesday’s episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” the 36-year-old actress opened up about being unattached for the first time in 17 years.

“I haven’t been single since [I was] like 19,” the “Young Adult” star said. “I’ve been in two relationships. One was 10 years, and one was three years. Just like back to back.”

“When I talk about it, it’s not to get pity,” she explained. “It’s actually a nice experience for me because I haven’t experienced it… I’m really enjoying it.”

Still, Theron, who split with Stuart Townsend in January 2010, told DeGeneres she is the type of woman who “is definitely very comfortable in a relationship.”

“Not that I’m painting the town red and dancing and clubbing,” she said. “But I’m really enjoying being in my own.”

Theron also joked to DeGeneres about her recent “tiny date” where she got coffee with a male suitor. “You have to do it at somebody’s house,” Theron said of dating. “Because then somebody is going to see you for coffee with somebody.”

“[When you're famous] it’s not casual dating anymore,” she said. “Then you can’t suss the guy out anymore. You’re married and having a child. It’s done.”

I went and saw ‘Young Adult’ on Tuesday night. (It was announced this morning that Charlize was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in the film.) I actually really liked the movie. It wasn’t great (a problem I’m having with movies this year. So far, nothing GREAT) but I really liked it. It’s very much a dark comedy, so before you go see it – you need to know that. The ending is abrupt – and not typical Hollywood – but I like that. I like movies that are creative – and different. I definitely thing Charlize deserves the nomination, she was amazing. The movie is dark – but if you like dark comedies – you’d like it!
