The Shortlist for May 16

On the off chance that you needed one more reason to think Charlie Theron is awesome, the "Prometheus" and "Snow White and the Huntsman" star ponied up her thoughts on pompous actors and down-to-earth people in the new issue of Aussie mag, Madison. And every word she uttered made us want to take her out for happy hour drinks. "I hate actors who come and quote [19th century German philosopher Friedrich] Nietzsche. I don't like pretentious s---," said the matter-of-fact 36-year-old. "I like being around people who like to live life and understand the value of it. I need to be around people who understand we're not curing cancer here. I like professional actors who show up, do the job and are not a pain in the a-- to either myself or the crew. … A professional actor does their homework beforehand and they do their job. Then when it's all said and done, they have a beer with the crew. That's what a professional actor does." See? Told you so. (Celebitchy)
