Charlize Theron raised $140,000 by kissing a girl.

The 34-year-old actress stunned guests at the OneXOne charity event in San Francisco last Thursday (22.10.09) with a foul-mouthed outburst after bidding for her offering of a trip to South Africa to watch a game at the soccer World Cup in 2010 and a meet-and-greet with Nelson Mandela raised just $37,000, and vowed to smooch the lucky bidder if the price was raised.

Referring to an earlier offering from Jeremy Piven which saw two walk-on roles in his US drama 'Entourage' sold for a total of $275,000, she said: "For f**ks sake! You can do better. There is no way I am leaving here with Jeremy Piven getting a higher bid."

Charlize Theron's production company Denver and Delilah Films have acquired the rights to Christopher Buckley's novel "Florence of Arabia," according to Variety.

The book is about a State Dept. employee who, after watching her friend marry the prince of a Middle East country and subsequently get executed, fights for equal rights for the women of that country.

Theron will produce and most likely play said State Dept. employee.
