Glee creator Ryan Murphy has purchased the home that Charlize Theron once shared with her ex-boyfriend, Stuart Towsend.
The ocean-front Malibu home went for a breezy $6.6 million!
Theron, 35, and Townsend split in January 2010 after almost 10 years together. The 2,100 square foot house was first put on the market for $7.5 million in December. It's a 1930s home with three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a fire pit, a deck and jacuzzi, and sits on the Pacific Coast Highway with two parking spaces.
Murphy, 45, has mega cash! He created

Why so glum, Jen? Maybe because Slate.com is labeling you the "Worst Actress" since 1985?? Ouch!!
We caught up with Jen in LA Tuesday, where she stayed hydrated in the heat, but looked none too happy (check out the pics in our gallery below!) Using the database of critics' reviews at RottenTomatoes.com,
Slate.com has determined that Jennifer Love Hewitt is the actress with the worst-reviewed movies since 1985, the year they deemed the cutoff for the modern era of reviews.
Hewitt has never had one of her movies merit a "fresh" score on the site (above 60 percent approval.) Her worst-reviewed movies include
Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (7 percent),
I Know What You Did Last Summer (35 percent),
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (7 percent), and the
Garfield movies (15 percent and 11 percent).
Still, it could just be her choice of films. J.Love did get a Golden Globe nomination for her role in the TV movie
The Client List. What do you think?
And of course, someone had to take on the title of Worst Actor! See who it is after the jump!

Britney Spears is beyond excited to hit the road with Nicki Minaj for her upcoming Femme Fatale tour.
The pop star tells
ET:
"I'm probably going to be extra nervous the day before. We've been working hard for, like, two months now and everything's coming together really good."
As for her hardcore rehearsals, Brit adds:
"It can be kind of [grueling], especially when you're on stage and you're on your eighth number. You get really winded and you're like, 'How can I do the rest of the show?' But I've been training for a while and I actually - before I come to rehearsals - I've been working out and stuff like that so I won't have that predicament."
The mama of two, who says regular runs help maintain her weight, also reveals that she can't go anywhere without her favorite pillow. See the interview ... after the jump.

"Everyone is healthy and doing well. The family is very excited."

I had to stand in one spot, which happened to be in front of my refrigerator, which was open with me dipping pretzels in cream cheese and stuffing them in my mouth."
