Free Hugs From Charlize Theron

After another down day on the stock market across the globe, Academy Award winner Charlize Theron set up a booth outside of the Roosevelt Hotel to hand out free hugs to anyone recently affected by the downslide. Theron said, “In times like these, sometimes a hug will help you get through the day. I could tell them to hang in there and that things will work out in the long run, but a hug I feel is just as good.”

This just landed in the Defamer tips box: "What crazy-ass, A-list starlet was Checked into the Roosevelt Hotel by a male friend because she was to high to drive, only to reward his chivalry by proceeding to make Poo Angels all over the room—including poo body-prints on the walls. Her shitty shenanigans ended up costing the poor bastard 6 grand." We certainly have no idea, but all this talk of Poo Angel-making has gotten us excited about the holidays! Who's up for a pooball fight? We are! [Defamer]

Fun fact: 6 out of 10 fender-benders occurring within a three-block radius of Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel involve washed-up semicelebrities. Be careful out there, motorists, or risk a rear-ending by somebody distracted by their search for a TMZ camera to document their nightclub attandence. [popbytes]
