I always wondered if there was anything I ever could have in common with Charlize Theron. But now I found it. We both have koi fish tattoos! Although her’s is way smaller than mine.

Charlize Theron and her mom have matching Koi fish tattoos on their ankles. The colorful Japanese carp fish often represent determination and power, because they are able to swim upstream even when faced with obstacles like waterfalls. The colorful fish is not Theron’s only tattoo—she also has a lotus flower on her right foot.

Charlize…You rock!

I may make fun of The Hills almost all the time, but I am a huge fan of the show. Like if I saw Lauren Conrad I would probably squee with delight. But Charlize Theron just doesn’t get why the show is so popular…

“I realized that this f—ing show is huge,” Theron told MTV News Monday while promoting Battle in Seattle. “Now I’m going to ask you a question: Why?

“Why is it so big?” she asked. “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,” she continued. “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.”

I couldn’t see Charlize sitting and watching that show…but if she comes over to my house I’ll watch it with her! And is it just me or does she have a potty mouth?

It’s almost the end of summer and Star magazine wants to make sure we all know what the best and worst of the season were…here are some of their choices. Click on them to enlarge.

Who are your favorites from the bunch?
