The first time I worked with him he punched me in the face. He was training for 'Ali'. I encouraged him to show me a couple of moves. I was completely knocked out! Seriously, though, I'd be happy to be punched out by Will anytime. He swore to me that it was an accident.

"It's nice to meet you, Charlize, I'm Will. I'm working on a boxing movie. It's totally manly and macho. I'm super buff from it. You wanna feel my guns? How about I show you how ripped I am by throwing a few punches? Oops, sorry, did I get your face there? I totally didn't mean to. I just don't know my own strength, since I am so so macho and manly. Seriously, manly. Tell your friends. I am a manly man who loves women."

Nicole Kidman as the world's first post-op transsexual, married to Charlize Theron? You betcha.

The Australian actress will star in and produce "The Danish Girl," based on the true story of Danish artists Einar and Greta Wegener. Their marriage took a sharp left turn after Einar (Kidman) stood in for a female model that Greta (Theron) was set to paint.

When their portraits become wildly popular in 1920s Copenhagen, Greta encouraged her husband to adopt the female guise. What began as a harmless game led Einer to a metamorphosis and landmark 1931 operation that shocked the world and threatened their love.

Anand Tucker ("Shopgirl") is attached to direct the feature, adapted by writer Lucinda Coxon ("Wild Target") from David Ebershoff's 2000 Viking bestseller. His debut novel of the same name is a fictionalized account of the Wegeners' true story.

Pre-production has begun on the indie film, but no details on a principal photography start date have been disclosed.

Both Kidman and Theron earned their best actress Oscars playing lesbian characters, in "The Hours" and "Monster," respectively. Additionally, Kidman is attached to play Dusty Springfield in a biopic about the bisexual English singer.

This is totally going to work. After all, to become a woman, a man must be pumped full of hormones that change the landscape of his face. And that's pretty much like Botox addiction, right? So she's got a frame of reference there. Plus, isn't being married to Tom Cruise for ten years kind of like being a transsexual anyway?

MTV: Charlize, you and I have discussed "The Hills" a couple times.

Theron: Yes, you belittled me on television. They were like, "Who's the fucking nana on the TV show who's never seen 'The Hills'?!?"

MTV: I never called you a nana.

Theron: Well, the kids now think I'm a nana, thanks to you.

MTV: You have said that you are now up on "The Hills," so I have a question: Do you think Lo is treating Audrina fairly?

Theron: [Long pause, laughs.] So I watched a couple episodes. I was doing a world tour at the time, so I watched them in a couple languages. I realized that this fucking show is huge. Now I'm going to ask you a question: Why?

MTV: Why what?

Theron: Why is it so big? It's about nothing! This is a free country. Freedom of speech! You can tell me right now to my face that "Reindeer Games" was a piece of shit. That's totally fine. But "The Hills" is about nothing. I think the girls are beautiful and when they cry their mascara runs and that's real, but I don't get it! [Pause.] I am a nana. I'll just take it. I am a nana. Maybe I need to watch the shows some more.

Oooh, oooh, we love getting opportunities like this. Charlize, Reindeer Games was a piece of shit. Oh, and Sweet November too. And we didn't see Mighty Joe Young, but we can pretty much guess that was a piece of shit too. But you were really good on Arrested Development. We liked that. And you have shiny hair. And you're really pretty. Will you still be our friend? Please? Sweet November wasn't your fault. Keanu is an acting albatross. No one can get over that weight. Did we mention you're really pretty?


You can see the very, very pretty Charlize Theron nude at MrSkin.com.

"It would be amazing if Charlize Theron did one of our 'Go naked' campaigns. I saw her just the other day and she just blew me away. Charlize is so sexy – I would totally love for her to go naked. I'd die for that. Bettie Page was the ultimate sex icon. Then next came Marilyn Monroe, then Pamela Anderson, then me. Now I'm on the lookout for the next woman to pass my title onto. Charlize would be perfect."

Ah, yes. The storied Passing of the Sex Icon Torch ceremony. Only it's not much of a literal torch. It's more of a flaming dildo. Flaming with the clap. Ow, that burns!

Charlize is naked too.

Oscar winner Charlize Theron, who has never been considered an airhead, made a serious geographical gaffe when she mixed up her Eastern European cities in a recent interview.

While promoting the UK release of In The Valley of Elah, the South African actress waxed poetic about her visit to the Turkish city of Budapest… except Budapest is in Hungary. She had meant to say Istanbul.

"We went to Turkey. When we got over there, we rented a car and we drove all the way to Budapest," the 32-year-old told London's Daily Mail of her spring 2006 trip with actor beau Stuart Townsend. That would have been one impressive drive, considering the capital of Turkey is about 660 miles from Budapest.

"By the time we got to Budapest it was like the Cannes Film Festival, I'd never seen anything like it," she said. Charlize, that was the popular Istanbul International Film Festival you attended.

She also described visiting a Turkish bazaar where she purchased various local rugs. In one sighting, a tipster from A Socialite's Life observed Charlize throwing down $380,000 on silk and traditional Turkish rugs at Istanbul's historical Grand Bazaar.

"When we travel, it's like backpacking," she said of her desire to keep a low profile. "We don't stay in fancy hotels. We like to go and be part of the culture."

We're going to let Charlize slide of this one. Turkey is really far away and not very glamorous. If she had said that London was in Spain, that would be funny, because everyone loves London. Besides, Charlize is still probably way smarter than other celebs. We're guessing that if you asked Paris Hilton where Malibu was she'd say, "I dunno. Colorado?"
