Brunette beauty
Liv Tyler, 33, and blonde bombshell
Charlize Theron, 35, both glowed at the same event in NYC this week.
Question is ...
Charlize Theron greeted
Kobe Bryant with a big hug before the
Laker game at Staples Center this weekend.

Apparently, these two are good buds. Who knew?
Charlize Theron could really profit off her bad memories -- the actress is trying to rent out the
Malibu beach house she used to share with ex-boyfriend
Stuart Townsend ... and she's charging $50,000 a month.

According to
Realtor.com, the 2,095 sq. ft. beachfront property has three bedrooms -- and a dreamy view of the Pacific blue ... in one of the most exclusive communities in the country.
Charlize and Stuart broke up earlier this year after a 9-year relationship -- but the actress has since been spotted getting cozy with
Keanu Reeves.
While at an art gallery in L.A. this weekend,
Charlize Theron's ex-boyfriend
Stuart Townsend put on quite a show by sucking face with some brunette lady friend.

Stew's PDA comes two weeks after
Charlize was caught sharing an intimate hug and kiss with
Keanu Reeves.

At least the feelings are mutual.
Keanu Reeves and
Charlize Theron didn't just share a romantic dinner at a Beverly Hills restaurant last night -- they also shared a really intimate goodbye hug and kiss on the way out.

As the two walked out of
Bouchon restaurant, the two locked in a really snug embrace and then tenderly swapped some cheek kisses.
It wasn't exactly a makeout session -- but it wasn't the way you'd send off your grandmother either.
UPDATE: More evidence -- when they hugged each other goodbye, Charlize's hands are clearly UNDER KEANU'S JACKET!
So we gotta ask ...
While some looked precious at the
Oscars, others grabbed outfits straight out of the hurt locker.
Which part of
Charlize Theron's dress do you think E! was focused on?

BTW -- That's E!'s arrow ... not ours.
Charlize Theron kissed a girl -- and for $140,000 ... and she liked it.

The actress -- who's made out with
Penelope Cruz and
Christina Ricci before for work -- went girl-on-girl again yesterday after offering up her lips for the
OneXOne celebrity auction in San Francisco.
The result: A steamy, 25 second smoochfest with the mystery woman who paid top dollar.
Why are you even reading this anymore? Enjoy.
It's a scary world out there -- and while Charlize Theron went ballistic on our cameraman after her flight to Denver, Robert Englund proved he's still the world's favorite dreamland serial killer, Freddy Krueger.
Also: Sean Lennon dissed the Jonas Brothers and Lisa Leslie showed off her babies -- her one-year-old daughter and her brand spankin' new Olympic gold medal.
Charlize Theron called out butt-kissing pappers in Malibu yesterday -- but is telling her she always looks great really kissing her behind? They're merely stating
the facts.
