Charlize Talks About Her Political Film in Denver | Charlize Theron, Stuart Townsend • A chic , sitting in the front row before a screening of boyfriend Stuart Townsend’s political movie Battle in Seattle, showing at Denver’s Starz FilmCenter as part of the events surrounding the Democratic National Convention. There with Townsend, who directed the flick about the riots during the World Trade Organization talks, Theron - who also stars in it - spoke on a panel with labor organizers who were directly involved with the event.

• Ashley Judd, sharing a quick word with President Bill Clinton backstage at the Pepsi Center following Hillary Clinton’s keynote speech.

• , making friends with

actress-singer Zooey Deschanel at a Going Green reception

benefiting the arts advocacy organization Creative Coalition. After

laughing through interviews, the two ran into La Rumba Restaurant where they

chatted with Ellen Burstyn over ice water. Soon, though, talk

turned to music. “I think a great campaign song, Elton John would write it,”

Hathaway, who also sings, told us. But what about her new friend? “Zooey

Deschanel %26#91;would%26#93; help out on the vocals and the tambourine, and

maybe %26#91;would do%26#93; a dance.” And Hathaway’s job? “I’d

just be cheering and enjoying it,” she said.

the floor of the Pepsi Center before Hillary Clinton’s

• Private Practice star Tim Daly, sharing his

surprise with us over the Secret Service’s conspicuous presence inside the

Pepsi Center. The actor and co-president of the Creative Coalition told us

that the security team actually wears signs identifying themselves at the

convention. Quipped Daly: “So where’s the secret?”
