Single Charlize Theron reveals what men lie about on celebrity dating app Raya
Charlize Theron isn't having any luck on the dating apps, specifically, celebrity dating app Raya. And she blames the men on the apps for it as being a beautiful, successful, wealthy celebrity isn't enough to get past the guys with photos from Burning Man. The Old Guard actress, 49, appeared on the Thursday, June 26, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen and revealed that she is on Raya. 'Every guy has a Burning Man picture and they're a CEO, like of nothing, or like a fitness instructor. 'And then you meet with them and they're not, and they just say it up front! I'm like, "Well, why did you put that on your thing?"' Theron said. 'No, I don't like it.' 'I don't do anything with it,' Theron told Cohen, who said he's also a subscriber. 'Yes, I don't do anything with it.' She continued, 'A friend put me on it, I went on two dates, and then I just kind of stopped.' And Charlize has dated her fair share of celebs including actors Craig Bierko, Stuart Townsend and Sean Penn, as well as Train frontman Stephan Jenkins and model Gabriel Aubry. She was also reportedly dating Alex Dimitrijevic in 2023. Last week, Charlize revealed her children have 'zero respect' for her award-winning acting career. The actress appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live looking stunning in a glamorous black blazer dress and a sheer floor-length skirt as she discussed her children's thoughts on her career. Charlize's motherhood journey began when she adopted daughters Jackson, 11, and August, seven. But it seems her children are not phased by the fact she's a huge movie star or features on billboards, as she told Jimmy, 'my children have zero respect for me' when asked if they are impressed by her career. Laughing towards the audience, she said: 'My children have zero respect for me. I don't know how, it's just unbelievable. 'And then you meet with them and they're not, and they just say it up front! I'm like, "Well, why did you put that on your thing?"' Theron said. Seen here June 24, 2025 'I feel like I'm pretty humble, but every once in a while I'm like there's a f*****g Oscar right there.' The audience and Jimmy erupted into laughter as she added: 'No, they're so not impressed with me.' Charlize became the first South African to win an acting Oscar when she picked up the Best Actress gong for 2003 drama Monster. Recalling picking up her daughter the day before, she explained: 'I was picking up my youngest from dance yesterday and we drove past that new Mission Impossible poster, where Tom Cruise is hanging onto some like yellow plane. 'And he just looks really cool, and my kids were with me when I shot Old Guard 2, and I worked on this incredibly intricate sequence where we brought in this amazing helicopter pilot, Fred North, and we were gonna choreograph this incredible scene. 'Like me fighting helicopters and jumping on this real helicopter and hanging off and shooting like 99 per cent of it on a real helicopter, as it's like trying to shake me off like a ragdoll, and we took two weeks to shoot this sequence. 'And I was like, "Wow, I just did that" That's really amazing. And my child yesterday, just looked at this poster of Tom Cruise and went "That's weird, he looks so much cooler than you did when you were hanging off that helicopter" She laughed, adding: 'I was just like, "but I hung off the helicopter, like just some credit."' Theron reprised her role as 6,732-year-old warrior Andromache 'Andy' of Scythia in the Netflix superhero sequel. The Studio guest star also executive produced Victoria Mahoney's small-screen adaptation of Greg Rucka's 2017 graphic novel, which wrapped production way back in 2022. Old Guard 2 is set to launch globally on the streaming service Netflix on July 2, 2025.

Maher shreds Sean Penn for meeting with Castro, Chavez after actor criticizes HBO host's Trump meeting
HBO host Bill Maher accused actor Sean Penn of being a hypocrite this week after the actor slammed the comedian's meeting with President Donald Trump. During the latest episode of Maher's "Club Random" podcast, the comedian and political commentator called out Penn's meetings with world dictators when the actor pointed out that he wouldn't have gone to dinner with Trump like Maher had. "Really, you meet with f---ing Castro and Hugo Chavez, but not the President of the United States?" Maher asked. The disagreement came while the two discussed Maher's meeting with the president at the White House in April. Maher has maintained that the meeting with Trump was "gracious and measured" and suggested the president was a different man in private than he appears on camera. Penn met with late Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez in Caracas in 2007. According to Chavez at the time, he and the actor discussed "why the (U.S.) empire attacks Chavez so much." The actor also met with late Cuban communist dictator Fidel Castro years prior, as well as Raul Castro in 2008. Maher began by asking Penn whether he believed having dinner with Trump was the right move. The actor said he could see the reasons why Maher would go to dinner with Trump, but admitted he wished the dinner was perceived as "less successful" for the president than it was, or that Maher had less praise for Trump's demeanor during their evening together. Maher disputed that point, stating, "Well, it was less successful because I never stopped saying all the things I've always said about him. It would have been successful if he had somehow seduced me into supporting him. So it wasn't successful." "The only reason I would not accept an invitation is because I see, I see no – it's a long flight," Penn said, struggling to give his answer. Maher cut him off mid-thought, bringing up his meetings with the Latin American dictators. Penn defended himself, saying there were good things that came out of those meetings. "Yeah, I saw good results come out of some of those things in terms of the agendas that I had… I just personally wouldn't trust anything that was said in the room, including the personality," he added, appearing to suggest taking Trump at face value was beyond the pale. Maher shot back, "It's not a matter of trusting it. It's a matter of seeing it, a matter of experiencing it, a matter of knowing it. It's like saying, 'I don't want this medical test because, you know, I don't want to know.' I want to know." "Fair enough," Penn replied.

Bill Maher roasts Sean Penn for meeting Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro but not Trump
Comedian Bill Maher lashed out at Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn on the latest episode of his Club Random podcast over perceived criticism of his decision to sit down for dinner with President Donald Trump in April. Maher, often a sharp critic of Trump, unexpectedly met with the president after an invitation was brokered by their mutual friend Kid Rock. The host left the evening with a revised opinion, speaking glowingly of the commander-in-chief. That provoked a backlash among liberals, with sitcom legend Larry David penning a scathing satire of Maher's conduct for The New York Times entitled, 'My Dinner with Adolf.' Returning to the issue in his latest interview with Penn, Maher asked the actor: 'You do, I hope, think I did the right thing to have dinner with him?' Penn answered: 'Absolutely, you're so smart, you go there... Look, this is the president of the United States, whether we like it or not, it doesn't matter. There's a lot of reasons I was speculating that... it would be good for you to do that.' From there, the star revealed that he had seen Maher's subsequent account of the visit on his HBO show Real Time and wished that the ensuing coverage had been 'less successful' for Trump. Maher hit back: 'It was less successful because I never stopped saying all the things I've always said about him. It would have been successful if he had somehow seduced me into supporting him. So it wasn't successful.' Penn, in turn, suggested Maher could have done more 'editing' in relaying the details of the dinner, suggesting he had gone too far in offering a warm account of the evening, rather than saying simply: 'He treated me fine, that's that.' Penn, a keen observer of global politics, has previously met with Central American communist leaders Fidel Castro, Raul Castro, and Hugo Chavez, and even the Mexican cartel boss Joaquin ' El Chapo ' Guzman for Rolling Stone, hoping to interest the latter in a possible movie project about his life. However, Penn told Maher he would not sit down for dinner with Trump, adding: 'The only reason I would not accept an invitation is... it's a long flight.' Incredulous, Maher reacted: 'Really, you'll meet with f***ing Castro and Hugo Chavez but not the president of the United States?' 'I, I, saw good results come out of some of those things...' Penn said defensively. 'I just personally wouldn't trust anything that was said in the room, including personality.' Maher hit back: 'It's not a matter of trusting it, it's a matter of seeing it, a matter of experiencing it, knowing it... I'm telling you, there's a very different guy behind closed doors in a different setting.' He went on to push Penn on whether he would accept a dinner invitation to the West Wing if he, Maher, helped facilitate it, to which the actor answered: 'I would not fool myself that... I was going to get anywhere with him. I know that I wouldn't, I know that I would have no influence.' Clearly annoyed, Maher said Penn had a 'bad attitude' and declared: 'I'll tell you this about Donald Trump and you don't know it because you don't go to dinners... It's all about personal relationships... I will get you an invite. He's a starf***er in a way. I bet you he would like to meet you.'

Bill Maher Loses His Cool With Hollywood Star Over Notorious Trump Dinner
Bill Maher lashed out at his guest Sean Penn during the latest episode of the Club Random podcast when the Hollywood star questioned his decision to dine with Trump. Maher brought up his controversial dinner with Donald Trump, and Penn responded by raising concerns over how Maher had handled the visit to the White House. That prompted a furious response from Maher who attacked Madonna's ex-husband over his own dining companions. 'Really, you'll meet with f---ing Castro and Hugo Chavez but not the President of the United States?' he asked. Maher's dinner with Trump, which was set up by their mutual friend Kid Rock, took place in April. At the time Maher defended the dinner by saying, 'There's got to be something better than hurling insults from 3000 miles away.' The two and a half hour dinner was then detailed on Real Time With Bill Maher, where Maher said they had discussed the Gaza War, Iran and Trump teasing a third-term presidency. Over cigars, booze and cigarettes on Club Random, Maher asked Penn, 'You do—I hope—think I did the right thing to have dinner with him?' Penn said, 'Absolutely, you're so smart, you go there... look this is the President of the United States, whether we like it or not, it doesn't matter. There's a lot of reasons I was speculating that... it would be good for you to do that.' The actor said he watched Maher cover the dinner on Real Time but wished it had been 'less successful.' Maher hit back at the suggestion he had painted Trump in a good light. 'It was less successful because I never stopped saying all the things I've always said about him,' Maher said. 'It would have been successful if he had somehow seduced me into supporting him. So it wasn't successful.' Penn fired back that Maher could have done more 'editing' in relaying the details of dinner, suggesting the host could have simply said, 'He treated me fine, that's that.' The actor has humanitarian, journalistic and political interests outside of his movie career, including tracking down Mexican drug lord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman in his hideaway to try and tie up a movie deal. Penn said he had never been invited to dinner with Trump. 'The only reason I would not accept an invitation is... it's a long flight,' he said. Maher then clapped back, 'Really, you'll meet with f---ing Castro and Hugo Chavez but not the President of the United States?' The Oscar-winner has had well-documented meetings with Cuban president Fidel Castro and his brother Raúl and firebrand Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez. Penn stumbled slightly before replying 'I, I, saw good results come out of some of those things...' When Maher interjected, Penn clarified, 'I just personally wouldn't trust anything that was said in the room including personality.' Maher hit back, 'It's not a matter of trusting it, it's a matter of seeing it, a matter of experiencing it, knowing it... I'm telling you, there's a very different guy behind closed doors in a different setting.' Maher went on to say he could try to broker Penn an invite to a Trump dinner in the future, to potentially discuss political or charity issues. 'I would not fool myself that... I was going to get anywhere with him,' Penn squirmed. 'I know that I wouldn't, I know that I would have no influence.' Maher said Penn had a 'bad attitude' and noted 'I'll tell you this about Donald Trump and you don't know it because you don't go to dinners... it's all about personal relationships... I will get you an invite. He's a starf---r in a way. I bet you he would like to meet you.'
