Who Said It, Who Dunnit?
 Sunday, March 16th, 2008

What charity-trotting, big-hearted star - who has fierce taste in shoes - just became a U.S. citizen, and said the following:  "I've always wanted to be [a citizen], they just didn't want to take me.  You're stuck with me now!  It's quite a process - you have to study up.  You have to know your stuff - you've got to know your Senators, how the government works...I studied up and I was right there with my answers before he hand even finished the questions."

And she passed!

I'll give you a hint.  She's from South Africa; was named Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive in 2007; recently played dominoes for children's charity Art of Elysium; she heads up the Los Angeles Committee for Global Green USA; speaks three languages; and has won an Academy Award for a performance in which she wasn't allowed to look pretty.  That was 7 hints.

Still don't know?  You don't read ConnieTalk.com enough then!  It is...

Charlize Theron!

South-African born Theron won an Academy Award for her portrayal of serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster.  In addition to acting, she spends a lot of time doing charity work.  But she took a time out to sit down with David Letterman on The Late Show and tell him a funny story about forgetting how to spell "sunny" on her citizenship test.

Didn't she look sort of sad, or stressed out, though?  She was laughing, but I wasn't really believing it.  Cheer up, Char...
