Back in March, it was revealed that prolific scriptwriter Diablo Cody had another screenplay in her portfolio – Young Adult, the tale of a woman who tries to re-visit her past to reclaim her identity. Now it looks like the movie has not only bagged Charlize Theron to take the lead role, but will form something of a Juno reunion as Jason Reitman is looking to direct it.

Young Adult focuses on an author who has been working for years as a ghost writer in the genre, but who comes to realise that she’s so totally subsumed her own personality into the pseudonym that she’s no longer sure she’s happy with life.

Her solution is to head back to her home town and attempting to rekindle her relationship with her old high school boyfriend, a quest hindered slightly by the fact that he’s both just gotten married and become a dad. And that he’s not exactly happy to see his ex back in his life.

Deadline reports that Cody, Reitman and Mandate Pictures are trying to rustle up the rest of the movie’s funding (having Theron in the lead will help there, even if the writer/director combo should really be enough to make anyone open their wallet) and the current plan is to kick off shooting in November.

Charlize Theron has been spotted kissing Keanu Reeves.

The pair - who played lovers in 2001 movie 'Sweet November' and also starred together in 'The Devil's Advocate' - stunned onlookers with their intimate embrace as they left a Beverly Hills restaurant on Monday (04.05.10), before breaking apart when they realised they had been spotted.

A fellow diner at upscale eatery Bouchon revealed Charlize, 34, and Keanu, 45, were enjoying each other's company and seemed in no hurry to end their date, tasting several red wines before selecting a bottle and indulging in several snacks before starting their meal.

The onlooker told website HollywoodLife.com: "Keanu and Charlize were having a great time. They were constantly laughing, almost disrupting other tables with how loud they were. They were wrapped up in each other's conversation and having a great time together."

Charlize Theron's mother has taught her to never give too much away.

The Oscar-winning actress - who recently split from long-term partner Stuart Townsend - likes to keep some things to herself as she believes it improves the quality of her life.

She said: "There are little things that I want to hang on to for myself. I really do believe you can make certain choices in your life that give you the life you really do like.

"There are certain things in my life that I hold on to very sacredly. Maybe it was the way I was raised. My mom used to always say, 'There's certain things that are yours and you don't share that.'

Matt Damon has bad breath, according to Sarah Silverman.

The American comedienne - who famously created a video entitled 'I'm F***ing Matt Damon' for her TV host boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel in 2008 - joked the actor's breath was not the freshest she'd ever smelt, while honouring him with an award on Saturday night (27.03.10).

Sarah claimed she'd given Matt "his first really big break" in the video, which was aired on US TV before becoming an instant YouTube hit, and added: "The worst thing I could say is, you know, Matt Damon is, like, a perfectionist. And his breath is like, Jesus! And his hair plugs are really obvious. Besides that, there's, like, nothing."

The 39-year-old actor - who was honoured in Beverly Hills with the 24th American Cinematheque Award - was continually ridiculed all night by several of his celebrity friends.

Actress Charlize Theron joked the Hollywood heartthrob was to blame for one of Will Smith's box office flops.

Are buxom Scarlett Johansson (pictured in white) and former Guns' N' Roses singer Axl Rose good friends?  Gossips were a bit taken back by a recent outing where Scarlett & Axl Rose actually played tennis.  What's going on there, just a bit of playful exercise?

More on the woman married to hunky Canadian Ryan Reynolds.  Scarlett 25, is rumored to be moving to New York and has put her Hollywood Hills home up for sale.

The UK Daily Mail reports Johansson put her stylish home on the market for less than she and husband Ryan Reynolds paid for the Spanish-style manse in 2007.
The house, built in 1931, is described as "stunning", with four bedrooms and five bathrooms. Johansson of Lost in Translation fame boasts famous neighbors Charlize Theron and Felicity Huffman.
Of note in the property is a giant center atrium and a chef's kitchen with a colorful period finish and retro-styled appliances.

Nicole Richie designed her own engagement ring.

The TV star - who revealed her betrothal to Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden during an appearance on 'The Late Show With David Letterman' this week - worked with renowned celebrity jeweller Neil Lane on the band, which sports a flawless four carat, round diamond.

Lane told People magazine: "We designed it together. Nicole was lovely and wonderful to work with on it! She wanted a beautiful, special ring and wanted to be intimately involved in the design."

The jeweller - who has previously created pieces for a host of stars, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna, Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron - also revealed Joel let his wife-to-be have complete control over the design.

He added: "Joel just wanted her to have her dream ring."

It was on Monday (15.02.10) that Nicole, 28, confirmed she is engaged to Joel - with whom she has two children, daughter Harlow, two, and five-month-old son Sparrow.

Joel, 30, later revealed his joy with a posting on his twitter page.

He tweeted: "Yep. I'm engaged. Very happy. Yeah we've been engaged for a while so you're all kind of late on that. But Thanks for the hooplah all the same. (sic)"

Hollywood split news - Two beauties are again single, sexy movie actress Charlize Theron has moved on from long-time boyfriend Stuart Townsend and TV star Kate Walsh (pictured) of ABC TV's Private Practice and Grey's Anatomy is now officially divorced from Alex Young after working out a settlement package.

Two - Charlize Theron is single. Graeme Massie reports, "The South African-born star reportedly split from the Irish actor after nine years over Christmas. Theron was spotted at the recent Haiti telethon without her commitment ring.

Charlize Theron reportedly enjoyed a date with a mystery man just weeks after splitting from her partner of nine years.

The Oscar-winning beauty - who is rumoured to have called off her relationship with actor Stuart Townsend over the Christmas period - was seen having a meal at Hollywood's exclusive Chateau Marmont last week with the handsome male and onlookers says they looked more than friends.

One said: "It looked like a date. They had dinner, then left together."

Over the weekend, it was claimed Charlize had told friends she split from Stuart after a trip to Mexico over the festive period, and had stopped wearing an antique commitment ring he had given her as a sign of his love.

A friend of the couple said: "Stuart is gutted but Charlize said that she realised during the Mexican holiday the relationship was over. They had become more like brother and sister than lovers. It was she who ended it."

The 34-year-old actress - who is yet to comment on the reports - is now reportedly living in their main home in the Hollywood Hills, while he has moved his belongings into their beach house.

Charlize Theron has reportedly split from her partner of nine years.

The actress - who first met Stuart Townsend on the set of 'Trapped' in 2001 - has told friends she split from the Irish actor after a trip to Mexico over the Christmas period, and has now stopped wearing an antique commitment ring he had given her as a sign of his love.

A friend of the couple said: "Stuart is gutted but Charlize said that she realised during the Mexican holiday the relationship was over. They had become more like brother and sister than lovers. It was she who ended it."

The 34-year-old Hollywood actress is now reportedly living in their main home in the Hollywood Hills, while he has moved his belongings into their beach house.

A source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "She loved Stuart but their relationship ran its course. He is heartbroken but she is insisting it is over.

"Charlize was surprised the story hadn't come out yet. But she didn't confirm it because she wanted to break the news in her own time."

Stuart has previously spoken about how he considered Charlize to be his wife, even though they'd never married.

He said: "I didn't do a church wedding or anything but we consider ourselves husband and wife. I don't need a certificate or the state or the church to say otherwise."

The World Cup Draw will feature celebrities such as David Beckham and Hollywood beauty Charlize Theron will host in Cape Town on December 4, 2009.  Stuff NZ notes more celebrity buzz will also be included as, "112 Miss World contestants are among a crowd of around 3000 who will attend the draw at the Cape Town International Convention Centre where the 32 qualified teams will be split into eight groups of four for next year's tournament," as well.

More World Cup...Nicole Kidman has become the face of a bid for Australia to host the World Cup that is culminating in a mega-media event in Cape Town this week. Kidman, like David Beckham for England, touts Australia for the Cup as a "safe pair of hands" for "The No Worries World Cup" in a short film made by the Football Federation Australia that was screened for the South African High Commissioner in Sydney.

Australia is a rank outsider for the 2018 Cup but is regarded as a chance for 2022. Football heavyweights from the nation have flocked to South Africa this week for a giant Media Expo and other events that include a hospital visit on the invitation of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Kidman is a self-described "soccer mum" whose children play at her home in Nashville.
The bidding for the Cup will become official on December 11 when countries present a binding ''Bid Agreement'' to FIFA. Of the glitzy South African bid fest, FFA's chief executive Ben Buckley said: "We believe Australia's credentials and our emissaries representing the young people of Australia will help set us apart and position us strongly. It's a high quality, competitive field that we're in, but we are very encouraged by the feedback to date.''
