Style Charlize & Sean at the Life Ball Charlize Theron left Cannes to attend the Life Ball in Vienna on the weekend. I was surprised to see her there.

Movie Reviews and Previews Cannes Preview 2015 It’s that time of year again, time for the Cannes Film Festival.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Charlize’s two dresses, one bootie I’ll take all of it. I’ll take the all white knit top and skirt with the flutter sleeves. I’ll take the printed v-neck dress.

Smutty Roundup Smutty Roundup: Miley sounds great, Charlize & Sean, and single Giovanni Don’t know what the f-ck Miley Cyrus was wearing on stage when she performed during SNL40 and those were terrifying but it really doesn’t matter because, sh-t, she sang the sh-t out of that song.
