Charlize Theron Hosts Charity Auction to Help South Africa Children

Charity News Online

The Oscar winning actress Charlize Theron hosted an auction to raise money for children in her native South Africa, and clearly had a little help from her Hollywood friends, ITV.com reported Friday.

As a result, the star's African Outreach project now $140,000 richer. Charlize explained why the Africa cause is so important, saying: "It's my home, it's in my blood, it's who I am and you can't change that". Other big names who turned up in the name of the good cause were Nicole Richie and American Idol winner Taylor Hicks.

Lindsay Lohan skipped her London premiere to attend the event. Auction items included a jacket sent by Will Smith, some signed DVDs from Tom Hanks and an original Scarface poster donated by Al Pacino.
