F*ck convention, Charlize Theron wants kids and doesn't need a ring on her finger to facilitate it. Well, that will spare them Mommy and Daddy splitting up eventually. Hey, don't hate on me, about .25 of these Hollywood marriages lasts. I'm not a math major and I totally made that number up, but you what I mean. Why do celebrities even bother?
"I always knew that I didn't want to get married," Theron, 32, says. But she adds, "I've always known that I'd be a mom from the time I was a little girl."
Charlize cracked my ass up with the following. When asked about her seven-year relationship with actor Stuart Townsend, she emitted a "cavewoman grunt" and said:
"Man, woman. Like to touch each other." Heh. Way to be a man about it. She's subverting it all!
Charlize also says that she doesn't understand why people give her shit about disguising her beauty in all her roles. They do? Who are these people?
"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."
Charlize would probaby have to insert her face into a weed whacker to conquer her beauty, so I don't think she has anything to worry about. Except her kids asking her why they don't have married parents like the other tykes.

Mariah Carey and her incredibly lucky husband Nick Cannon brought their love to the Operation Smile event at Skylight Studios in NYC last night. Mariah is running around feeling the fever of love and nuptials and hopefully making sure that prenup is iron-clad. Otherwise she's going to lose half of everything when these two split. The butterfly farm, the unicorn stables, and the cotton candy lamb corral. Tee-hee!
Operation Smile is a global effort to help fix kids facial deformities and advocate affordable healthcare systems for children and their families. Mariah probably barely read the brochure. She just wants to look at her ring and repeat "Mrs. Nick Cannon" to herself over and over again. Like a mantra.
Looks like Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have decided to tie the knot, after the California Supreme Court overturned the state's ban against gay marriage yesterday.
Ellen made the news public at the taping of her show, which will air across the country today. Portia de Rossi was in the studio for the big announcement, where the excited audience cheered.
According to the court's ruling, people have a fundamental "right to marry" the partner of their choice, making the previous ban unconstitutional.
The happy couple have been dating since 2004.
More photos of Ellen and Portia are after the jump.
Cameron Diaz told the UK version of Cosmopolitan that she likes the way she looks better now than when she was younger.
"I feel I get better with age," she said. "I look at pictures of myself when I was 21 and think, 'Wow, I don't look so bad, but I take more care or myself now, so in a way, I feel like I look better than I did then... I feel stronger and more confident."
Cameron gets a lot of flack from the media because of her bouts with acne, and the actress had no problem discussing her struggles with breakouts. "Sometimes, I'll look in the mirror and be like, 'Damn, where did that that come from? Seriously! I'm 35 years old. When is this going to stop?!"
Even though Cameron recognizes that she is getting older, don't expect her to be looking to tie the knot anytime soon.
"There are a lot of ways to approach commitment and relationships - and marriage is just one of them. I think partnerships are a wonderful thing in whatever form they take, and I definitely want that in my life, whether or not it's in the traditional sense."
Here's young Nick Cannon, being indoctrinated into Mariah's World. It's not all lollipop fences and glitter-covered cleavage as you can see by the mob of paparazzi that surrounded the newlywed couple as they tried to leave Gyu-Kaku restaurant. This kind of attention could old fast.
But it sounds like Nick's ready to make this high-profile marriage work and even has has babies on the brain. His half-brother Reuben Cannon dished to Us Weekly that Nick "definitely wants kids" but added, "I am not sure exactly if now is the time." Oh please, they're going to procreate immediately, if Mimi's not already with child at the moment. Her career is always going to be crazy, but just take a look at Jennifer Lopez. She didn't let a little thing like having twins slow her down.
First Daughter Jenna Bush got hitched. She married Henry Hager, whom she met while work on her father's 2004 re-electiion campaign. Well at least something nice came out of that. Dick Cheney managed not to shoot anybody in the face during the wedding.
The couple were married just before sundown beside a lake at the President's 1,600 acre Prairie Chapel ranch in Crawford, Texas. The bride and her mother Laura Bush wore Oscar De La Renta, who is a personal friend of the family. The got married in front of a limestone cross and altar which will remain as a permanent part of the property. Jenna's twin sister Barbara served as the maid of honor.
Jenna's the first daughter of an active President to be married in 16 years.
"This is a joyous occasion for our family, as we celebrate the happy life ahead of (Jenna) and her husband, Henry," the president said in his weekly radio broadcast Saturday morning. "It's also a special time for Laura, who this Mother's Day weekend will watch a young woman we raised together walk down the aisle."
Wasn't Jenna a crazy drunken slut when she was younger? Way to clean up, babe.
For as unexpected as this was of a union and as shocked as I am still that it took place, I do have to admit that Mariah never has looked better. She's trim, smiling big and excitedly flashing that rock of hers.
These are pictures from (and a video) of Mr. and Mrs. Nick Cannon's world debut. The two stepped out for the Time magazine 100 Most Influential People in the world (of which Mariah is one) party earlier in the evening, making their first appearance together since their secret marriage in the Bahamas.
The couple sat down with People magazine for an in-depth interview, revealing the details of the events that led up to their marriage and how they fell in love at first sight, essentially. They both got tattoos before the April 30th ceremony - Mariah's got "Mrs. Cannon" on her lower back, and Nick has "Mariah" across the back of his shoulders. According to Nick, part of why they get along so well is because, "We are both eternally 12 years old."
But my favorite part of the interview comes from the description of how Nick proposed. Apparently, he presented Mimi inside a Ring Pop wrapper and when he got down one knee, "she ran away and got all shy." Eventually she returned and said yes, but how awesome is that image? Proposing to that one is like trying to woo a unicorn or a wood sprite.
Now that it's out that Nick and Mariah are all married and stuff, here are some pictures of Cannon's wedding ring and it looks to be covered in some pretty sizable diamonds. Ugh. That's so gross. Does he think he's the bride or something? Get a regular wedding band, ass.
Meanwhile, according to Oprah Winfrey, Ms. Mariah showed the talk show host that the songstress had recently had her back tattooed with the words "Mrs. Cannon" when they were filming Mariah's most recent interview. I hope she used lots of red for the tattoo cause that shit is really hard to remove.
Holy shit, this really happened. I really, really wasn't ready to believe that Mariah had actually gone and married Nick Cannon despite the numerous "confirmations" that kept trickling in, but here's a picture of the two of them on their secret wedding day. He must speak Unicorn because I can't think of any other way that he managed to sweep Ms. Mariah off her feet so much that he convinced her to tie the knot. Or maybe she was lying about her aversion to a baby "invasion" of her uterus and decided that wedding bells would help drown out the sound of her ticking biological clock.
In any case, Nick and Mariah have both gushed to People magazine about how happy they are. "We really do feel we are soulmates," Mariah told the magazine and added, "I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me." Wow. This guy must really fill her honey-pot on the regular.
Meanwhile, here's the music video that started it all. Nick and Mariah met on the set of the video for her single, "Bye Bye" and keep your eyes peeled for a morose Mariah mourning the loss of her loved ones in her black "grieving" bikini.

Mariah Carey is demented. Imagine being her pet? Before the insta-wedding chaos, Mariah was at the premiere of her new flick Tennessee, and sporting a pink Hello Kitty Band-Aid on her hand. It turns out that her beloved pooch Jack turned on her ass and chomped down. You try being dressed in a unicorn costume!
"People keep shaking my hand really hard, like 'hi' and I'm like 'get off my freaking dog bite!'" she said to the press. "So anyways, if I'm wearing a band-aid, I thought it might as well be a cute one. Everyone's making it a whole dramatic moment about the band-aid. Golly. Really! It's a band-aid."
Did she actually say "golly?" The film's producer quickly stepped in to assure the press that Mariah didn't put Jack in the oven for his betrayal.
"Jack is very important to her. She's very loving with him. If you don't have kids, animals are extra important to you," said executive producer Sarah Siegel Magnuss.
Flash forward six months from now to Nick Cannon with Jack in a backpack rappelling down the wall of Mariah's high-rise at 2 AM. He's wearing a pink Prince Charming costume and sobbing, not caring if he falls 25 stories because it still means he escaped from Mariah's insane stunted youth fairy tale kingdom.
