CHARLIZE THERON - THERON BLASTS SPLIT REPORTS

CHARLIZE THERON has fired back at weekend reports she has split from boyfriend STUART TOWNSEND, insisting the pair are still together. The actress has been spotted alone at various recent awards ceremonies, including the Oscars - where she took her mum as her date - but she insists that's simply because her Irish lover has been away working. And following the latest Hollywood split announcement, Theron's publicist, AMANDA SILVERMAN, has released a statement, saying, "Stuart and Charlize have not broken up. "Next week everyone will be calling me saying they were married. We can't win."
