Taking a little time for some mother-son bonding and play time today (October 16), Charlize Theron took her adorable son Jackson to the Fit For Kids gym in West Hollywood, CA.
Lovely with a shorter new hairdo, Charlize wore a pair of big shades, a blue and yellow tank, workout pants, and yellow treads. Jackson was keeper of mommy's keys as the 38-year-old held the door open for him, smiling.

I have some bad news, Charlize Theron’s boyfriend. Her neck will be out of commission for a while. The 38-year-old just underwent neck surgery for a broken vertebrae she suffered years ago. The injury happened on set when something hit her in the head.
“It’s been bothering her a lot lately so she had surgery to correct it and they had to go through her neck.” She hid the surgery during Variety’s 5th Annual Power of Women event in Beverly Hills last Friday by wearing a white scarf to hide the small Band-Aid on her neck.
There, there. *pats boyfriend on back, pushes him down stairs*

Making the most of her humpday evening, Charlize Theron enjoyed a delicious meal at Dominick?s restaurant in West Hollywood last night (September 25).
The ?Monster? actress exited the eatery all by her lonesome, though it was reported that she actually joined comedian/actor Seth MacFarlane for the outing.
Charlize is currently filming her new movie ?Dark Places,? based on the novel ?Gone Girl? by Gillian Flynn.
The film is a personal project for Theron, who at age 15, witnessed the violent murder of her father at the hands of her mother, who acted in self-defense.
?Everything changed for me that day my father died. Years ago I used to cover it all up and say he died in a car accident. I have now come to terms with it and have been able to move on. This was so long ago in my life and my life, my emotions and the pain are not stuck in this one event.?

Here is Charlize Theron not letting Labor Day interfere with her fitness went to a Power Cycling Class in West Hollywood. She looked cute in a black tank top, blue tights, and a gray baseball cap, as she headed back to her vehicle with a friend.
Currently, the 38-year-old actress is working hard on her new movie, “Dark Places,” about a woman who survives the brutal killing of her family as a child.

Here are some photos of Charlize Theron hanging out with a bunch of dudes while on vacation in Hawaii last week. Notice that none of these guys are Seth MacFarlane because she’s not his type (*snort*). It does look like she’s still in the game for his Blazing Saddles-esque cowboy comedy that is expected to arrive in theaters at some point in 2014.
At the moment, however, Charlize is rather occupied with shooting Dark Places. Dark Places is by author Gillian Flynn, who went on to pen Gone Girl. Of course Gone Girl is receiving all the interesting casting news these days. In contrast, Dark Places has seen a more troubled production. Amy Adams was initially lined up to play Libby Day but pulled out, then Charlize took over. I guess they’ve probably put Charlize in a blonde wig with fiery red roots. I cannot even come close to imagining how difficult this shoot must be because the book never struck me as something that should be put to film. It’s just a very brutal, hard-hitting thriller with (to me) an unsatisfying ending. Apparently, it’s also dredging up all sorts of bad memories for poor Charlize:
Charlize Theron’s new role is giving her nightmares!
The stunning Academy Award winner is producing and starring in the film version of the best-selling thriller Dark Places.
In it, she plays Libby Day, a tormented soul who witnessed at age 7 the ruthless slaying of her mother and two sisters, in what appears to be a satanic cult ritual.
The story line hits very clsoe to home for the South African-born actress, who was 15 when she witnessed the slaying of her abusive, booze-swilling dad — by her own mother.
Charlize’s mom grabbed a shotgun and blasted away the man who had threatened their lives duirng drunken rage. The shooting was ruled self-defense and Charlize’s mother, Gerda Maritz, faced no charges.
The actress has called her father’s death “the great tragedy of my life.”
And while the 38-year-old has tried to move on from the traumatic experience, she’s still haunted by the incident, says the source.
“Charlize finds the Dark Places project troubling but somewhat cleansing, because it’s bringing up a lot of the gruesome memories that she’s long blocked out,” said the source.
“She’s having a hard time with it, but dealing with it. She says she’s making this film for every child who’s gone through and moved on from a terrible tragedly like the one she had to endure.”

Damn, I seem to recall hearing this awful story about Charlize’s parents years ago, but it completely slipped my mind, and I can definitely see why playing Libby would really hit home for Charlize. She must be a very strong person to find this project to be “cleansing.”
Ooh, and I just peeked over at the movie’s IMDb page and see that Nicholas Hoult is playing creepy-but-nice Lyle. Chloe Moretz is playing Diondra. Those two seem pretty perfect for those roles.

Jetting out of town with her little boy and her mother, Charlize Theron took a private plane out of Los Angeles on Tuesday (August 6).
The "Snow White and the Huntsman" star sported a white and navy blue striped top and a short denim skirt as she carried Jackson in her arms with Gerda close behind.
On Wednesday, the Academy Award winner celebrates her 38th birthday, but the party began over the weekend in Italy.
At Antica Pesa in Rome, Charlize dined with four friends, sipping red wine before chowing down on classic Italian dishes and a birthday cake.

The House of Dior is going through some changes. Last year, Jennifer Lawrence got a Dior contract, which reportedly angered the other Dior ?faces? like Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis and Charlize Theron. Out of that group, I think I associate Charlize most with Dior ? her J?Adore commercials are always on, and whenever I see her long-legged power-strut, I think ?Dior Lady?. But is that close association coming to a close? You might be eager to throw shade at this Enquirer story, but just FYI: Star Magazine (with the same corporate owner as the Enquirer) was totally right about Jennifer Lawrence, and they actually broke the news of J-Law?s contract. So, someone at the tabloid media empire might actually have the inside scoop at Dior:
Charlize Theron fears she?ll lose her fat Dior deal if rival Scarlett Johansson continues her love affair with all things French. Sources say reps for the fashion giant have told Charlize ? who reportedly banks $5 million a year as the face of Dior?s J?Adore ? that she ?needs to be more French.?
Meanwhile, Scarlett is fast becoming the A-list darling of Paris thanks to her French Vanity Fair cover and romance with Frenchman Romain Dauriac, a former art journalist.
?Scarlett adores Paris and has spent months there with Romain,? a source told The Enquirer. ?Besides that, the French have really responded to her photos in Vanity Fair, especially one shot that?s reminiscent of Brigitte Bardot.?
That?s got LA-based Charlize on edge, said the source. ?Charlize has done really well for Dior, but the company has to stay fresh? they?re worried that Charlize comes across as too aloof and are looking at Scarlett as a possible replacement.?
So Charlize is now scrambling to keep the lucrative gig.
?She?s taking French lessons twice a week and listens to French tapes in the car to become more fluent. She also dines with Dior executives regularly to brainstorm ideas about how she can be more appealing to their French customer base. But Charlize feels that no matter what she does, Scarlett is a real threat. She knows that if she wants to keep her Dior deal, she has to up her game.?
[From The Enquirer, print edition]
I think the idea that Charlize isn?t ?French enough? to represent Dior is dumb ? this is the company that just hired Jennifer Lawrence, for the love of God, and she isn?t ?French? in the least. I think it?s far more likely that people at Dior think Charlize is too OLD to be the face of Dior. Like, she?s not relevant enough to their target demographic, and they?re looking to ?skew younger? and that?s why they?re thinking about switching to ScarJo. But just FYI to the Dior people: Scarlett is an absolutely terrible model. Her ad campaigns ? which are numerous because she would be the ?face? of just about anything ? are almost always dead-eyed, open-mouthed and derivative of some other Hollywood bombshell.
Something else to consider: Dior probably wants to hire younger faces to go along with their new hire, Robert Pattinson. Rob is the face of Dior Homme now.

Taking a break from her busy schedule for a little pampering, Charlize Theron stopped by a West Hollywood nail salon on Friday (June 28).
Stylish in a black skirt and a long-sleeve grey button-down, the ?Snow White and the Huntsman? actress accessorized her outfit with shades and a white hat.
The South African stunner is currently hard at work filming the western ?A Million Ways to Die in the West,? alongside Amanda Seyfried.
Officially described as following a cowardly farmer who seeks the help of a gunslinger's wife to help him win back the woman who left him, the motion picture is slated to hit theaters May 30, 2014.

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 Sidib 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,? Sidib says. “It was $15,000 per person per year. Today we have 8 million people on treatment. We save millions of lives.?
[From Yahoo News]
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.

Checking in with the doc before her travels, Charlize Theron left a medical building in Culver City before heading to LAX Airport on Wednesday (April 17).
The "Snow White and the Huntsman" star wore a tan sweater with zebras on it, black pants, and sunglasses as she averted her eyes from cameras on her way through the busy terminal.
When she's not doting on her adorable son, Jackson, the 37-year-old actress is super busy with three projects in the pre-production stage.
"Dark Places," "A Million Ways to Die in the West," and "Murder Mystery" are all on the lovely Ms. Theron's plate.
