Sure, Theron's new son Jackson was all covered up in his carrier, but Charlize certainly had that maternal glow about her.

Charlize Theron Takes Baby Jackson Out in LA!

Previous 1 / 10 Next Posted on March 27, 2012 2:41PM by Allie Merriam Charlize Theron ran errands in LA today with her young son, Jackson Theron! The duo swung by her local post office in Malibu, and a friendly letter carrier even walked her out to her car afterward.

She chatted up Prometheus with Michael Fassbender recently at WonderCon and also joined her Snow White and the Huntsman leading lady Kristen Stewart .

Charlize is apparently all about swaddling and recently told Ryan Seacrest , "I didn't think I would be a fan of the swaddling, but the swaddling's pretty amazing. It sort of looks a bit like a straitjacket you're like, 'Is this child abuse?' but for some reason they just love it." Source: Bauer-Griffin Online Back to Story

Charlize Theron warns we're going to DIE in new Prometheus TV ad

"In space, no one can hear you scream." We think someone forgot to tell Idris Elba and Noomie Rapace that tiny bit of info, because both of their characters are shouting at the top of their lungs (of course, they're not actually in space when it happens, so we guess it doesn't really count) in this thrilling new Prometheus TV spot. This spot features (once again) a 31-second mix of previously seen stuffwith Charlize Theron as CEO Meredith Vickers telling everyone they're going to die (that woman should never be in charge of crew morale)as well as some brand-new snippets of footage. As the proverbial cherry on top of this awesome upcoming sci-fi ice cream epic, it also features the ber-cool alien space jockeyfirst seen as a giant desiccated corpse in Ridley Scott's sci-fi/horror masterpiece Alien rising from his chair. That bit alone is made of so much win we can hardly contain ourselves. Have a look: What do you think of the new Prometheus TV spot? Are you

New on DVD

LOS ANGELES This week there are three exceptional performances to check out. Two were Oscar nominated (George Clooney in The Descendants and Michelle Williams in My Week with Marilyn) and one could well have been (Charlize Theron in Young Adult). Alexander Paynes The Descendants takes place in Hawaii, where Matt King (Clooney) heads a family that is preparing to sell their land for development, a deal that should make them rich. But theres no joy for him, because Matts wife lies in a coma from a boating accident and isnt likely to wake up. Now he must take care of his daughters, 10-year-old Scottie (Amara Miller) and her disaffected teenage sister, Alexandra (Shailene Woodley). Worst, he finds out that his wife was cheating on him with a real-estate agent (Matthew Lillard). As in Paynes other films, Election, About Schmidt and Sideways, The Descendants is about American males adrift. A marvelous Clooney is able to make us forget his movie-star looks and charms to convey the trials of

How Will OCD Affect Charlize Theron's New Son?

New mother Charlize Theron may have a tougher time than other new moms adjusting to her first child. That's because she's admitted to suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD. "I have OCD, which is not fun," she told Australian radio show Kyle and Jackie O . "I have to be incredibly tidy and organized or it messes with my mind and switches off on me." Babies, especially once they reach toddler-hood, aren't exactly known for their neatness. The Oscar-winning actress announced last week that she is the "proud mom of a healthy baby boy named Jackson." This is the first child for the 36-year-old actress who has been single since her split from actor Stuart Townsend in 2010. For parents with OCD, having children can actually make symptoms worse.
