Charlize Theron Slams "The Hills"

In an interview with MTV to promote her film "Battle in Seattle" Charlize Theron slammed MTV's faux reality show "The Hills," which she recently watched for the first time.

Theron: 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 f---ing 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 sh--. 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!

From more on "Battle in Seattle," read writer/director Stuart Townsend's blog about the film (he's also Theron's longterm boyfriend).

You suck, they suck, Hollywood sucks.

SEE - this is a smart woman, a woman of substance. Watch her. Learn from her.

[RockySoldier]

she just made me a fan. that show is awful

[Ivygreen]

Since the girls on the Hills have been to mexico and europe; they've got nice legs and lipstick; I suppose that makes them qualified to be John Mccain's running mate.

[mmelodee]

[AdultFilmLegend]

Is she for sale?

Charlize Tron (thats how you pronounce 'Theron' in Afrikaans, Charlize's first language) ... PROUDLY South African.

This show is exactly why the world hates America. Rich Republican pricks creating problems caused by their own wealth and narcissism.

[11907281]

The list of reason to hate America is to long to print, but the list of reasons to love Americans is just as long.

The same with any country. Just read how aussie put a terriorist (The smiling bomber) at a #2 and a Sport Fifure #1 on a "most hated list" . We are all screwed..

[Blurp]

I like her moxie!

[anghiari]

Thank you Ms. Theron...you see these no talent girls getting TV shows, clothes lines and invited to important events as though they have a clue about anything.

[maxfax]

It's MTV.

The better question is to ask about all the reality tv shows on the big 3 networks, which are all about nothing, absolutely nothing. Why have the networks resorted to stupidity? Who's in charge? Punky Brewster?

hey leave soliol moonfry out of this . but you are right

[BlackJAC]

THE HILLS is essentially SEX AND THE CITY for teenyboppers who are hungry for fame at all costs and want reassurance that the glamorous existence Carrie Bradshaw Et Al had wasn't a fictional fantasy concocted by some daydreaming screenwriter in a windowless office. There are companies galore that will let you pretend to be a fighter pilot or astronaut or Special Forces commando or medieval warrior for a quantity of money, but you can't simulate being a socialite, 21st-century America's answer to Fairy Tale Princess.

[FCBarca]

Join the club Charlize, I don't get it either

[BlackJAC]

You and Joel McHale both, Charlize.

[rzan1]

REindeer Games was a really good movie with an ending that I didn't see coming. I think I'll go check it out again. And Charlize was terrific in it.

[Df7702]

Come on the only good thing about that movie was charlize. Aeon Flux was pretty bad too but she was in it so ofcourse I had to see it . Check out a day in the valley shes in that too . I love her

[hip dibler]

she's smokin hot, smart and very talented.

[SHOPARAZZI]

my dear charlize, the hills is about the art of wearing chanel bags, anorexia and club hopping.

[CFAmick]

The American dream.

[JScott]

And a show about nothing, hey that's what Seinfeld was.

BTW I never watched either of em.
