Charlize Theron is one of us

While doing press for her new movie Battle in Seattle, Charlize Theron told Josh Horowitz of MTV.com that she can’t figure out why the hell people watch The Hills:

Theron: [Long pause, laughs.] 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!

Charlize Theron: Smoking hot and hates The Hills. I don’t want to alarm anybody, but I have an erection. Don’t panic; it’s more scared of you than you are of it.
