Charlize brings glamour to Berlin

Charlize Theron brought a splash of glamour to Berlin at the weekend, when she jetted in for the city's film festival. The South African actress was there to support her acclaimed movie 'Monster', in which she plays real life serial killer Aileen Wuornos.

Speaking to reporters at the screening, she said it was important that Hollywood didn't only make feelgood movies. The Academy Award nominee, who put on thirty pounds for the film, has already picked up a Golden Globe for her performance and is hotly tipped to win the best actress Oscar.

She was just one of a series of glamorous guests who graced the 54th Berlin Film Festival over the weekend. Among the other big names who turned out were Diane Keaton, Cate Blanchett, Juliette Binoche and Renee Zellweger.
