Charlize Theron On Elle

Could Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend be any more sickeningly in love?
The blond beauty says the ring he gave her isn't an engagement number, but more of an ongoing love note."It was a Victorian thing," Theron says in the new issue of Elle UK. "You put in a lock of hair or a little note to remind you of your loved one...Every time I go away he puts in a little love note."What else has Townsend given the Oscar winner?A kick in the ass, so to speak.
"Stuart made me softer," Theron coos. "He was one of the few guys who wasn’t afraid of me. What he saw was not toughness but vulnerability. I am massively vulnerable, and for so long I just worked hard to cover that up. Stuart wasn’t scared to confront that. He is the one man who never worries about kicking me up the backside."
The Hancock star also says she thinks her body is rockin'. "I don't have hang-ups about the way I look," she insists. "I can see myself in the mirror when I'm all done up and think I look pretty hot...I have curves and they belong to my body."

W = Charlize Theron

No need trying to figure out when Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend will tie the knot.
“I always knew that I didn’t want to get married,” Theron, 32, says in the new issue of W magazine. But she adds, “I’ve always known that I’d be a mom from the time I was a little girl.”
As for their seven-year-romance, Theron, no surprise, won’t reveal too much. When asked to describe the relationship, the Oscar winner adopts a “cavewoman grunt,” according to writer Gabriel Snyder, and says:
"Man, woman. Like to touch each other.”
Theron doesn’t have such sweet words for critics who slam her for taking on so many “ugly” roles in order to hide her beauty. “Look, I get it,” she says. “Monster was a transformation...[But] North Country was dirt. That’s what happens when you go into a mine. In the Valley of Elah—that’s when I took real offense, because that was just my real hair color and me with no makeup.”

The actress, who will next be seen opposite Will Smith in Hancock, insists her biggest transformation is on the red carpet. “It’s great fun when you have three people coming to your house, and one’s doing your nails, one’s doing your hair and one’s doing your makeup. Two hours later, you look gorgeous,” she said. “But that’s not my life.”
