Oprah Documentary Film Club

The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) will launch a documentary film club when it premieres in 2011, The Hollywood Reporter said Wednesday.

Borrowing on the success of the insanely-popular Oprah Book Club, the eagerly-awaited cable network will partner with Ro*co Productions for a monthly series. All selections will have inspirational themes, sources say.

Footage from each month’s features will stream on OWN.tv, while some of the documentaries will receive national theater distribution. OWN, which debuts in Jan. 2011, plans to create communities across the nation to screen and discuss the films in a live panel event.

Charlize Theron: Just Call Me "Ass-Nuts"



Don't be surprised if people start referring to Charlize Theron as Ass-Nuts.

The Oscar winner revealed at last night's Hollywood Film Awards that Breakthrough Actor honoree Jeremy Renner bestowed her with the nickname during the making of their 2005 drama, North Country.

Theron and Renner along with the rest of the cast went out for some drinks and…

"I can't tell you what transpired, but lemme just say I found a friend for life in Jeremy, and he has ever since then referred to me as…Ass-Nuts," Theron said. "I wish that was a joke, but it's true!"

While last night's annual fete attracted some major Hollywood players like Theron, Steven Spielberg, Robert De Niro, Sandra Bullock, Bradley Cooper, Julianne Moore and Diane Kruger, there were plenty of new faces you'll be seeing a lot of come awards season.

Gabourey Sidibe, who stars as a horrifically abused teen in indie favorite Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire, said things weren't always depressing on set. She even did some dueting with costar Mariah Carey.
