Charlize Theron will watch the Oscars at home in her pajamas.

The Oscar-winning actress believes only nominees should attend the glitzy ceremony on February 24.

Viggo Mortensen is set to snub the Oscars. The 49-year-old actor - who is up for a Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of a ruthless Russian gangster in 'Eastern Promises' - will boycott next month's prestigious Academy Awards if the Hollywood writers' strike is still unresolved.

He said: "If there's a strike I will not go but I have a feeling they'll solve it. I hope they do. I'm sure my mother would like to see me on TV."

Actor Brad Renfro has been found dead aged just 25. 'The Client' star, who had a history of drug and alcohol abuse, was discovered at a Los Angeles apartment yesterday morning after spending the night with friends.

Craig Harvey, chief investigator for the Los Angeles country coroner, said: "Drug overdose is a possibility considering his history, but right now all we have is the history of his drinking the previous night. He was last known to be alive during the morning hours and he was snoring."

Charlize Theron would be "in therapy" if she wasn't an actress. The 'Monster' star claims Hollywood has saved her from a lifetime of counseling following her highly traumatic childhood.

The 32-year-old actress said: "It is incredibly cathartic to be able to go to work and deal with your demons. It really helps me cope with a lot of things in my life and that's such a great blessing. I always said that if I didn't have this job I probably would be in therapy."
