Hollywood’s favorite South-African beauty, Charlize Theron, recently jetted off to Massachusetts on Thursday to receive Harvard’s “Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year” award, reports People.com.

Surrounded by cross-dressing gentlemen who make up the nation’s oldest scholarly theatre group, the Hasty Pudding Theatricals, Theron was handed the coveted Pudding Pot in honor of her esteemed performances. “I’m going to make a stew [in it], and then I’m going to eat it,” the actress declared. “I’m going to look at it and remember today and how much fun I had.”

Warm and fuzzy quickly defined the evening as Charlize was supplied with alcoholic apple cider in celebration of her work in The Cider House Rules: “I think it was laced with something, which made it much better,” she giggled.

When asked what she considers to be a bigger accomplishment - winning the Pudding Pot or the Academy Award for Monster - Theron replied, “I know you want me to say that the Oscar sucks and this is better. There are no men in drag at the Oscars like there are here. I’ve never been surrounded by so many fake breasts.” After pausing for a moment to mull over her answer, she joked. “Actually, I think I was at the Oscars.”

The 32-year-old says she truthfully favors her title of “Sexiest Woman Alive” courtesy of Esquire magazine: “So you can tell everyone that I’m the sexiest woman alive, and I’m going to vote for Barack [Obama.] And you can tell them I told you all of this while I was drunk!” Somewhere an intoxicated reader is shouting, “WOO!”

Taking it down a notch, Theron discussed working with her director boyfriend Stuart Townsend on her forthcoming project Battle in Seattle: “It was great,” she quipped. “I’m not allowed to say anything else, because I sleep with the director.”

Nearly seven years into their relationship, Theron says Townsend is still the one: “I love going home with him.”

Allegedly Paris Hilton was up for the Hasty Pudding award as well; thank heavens the club granted it to someone who deserves it!
