FIFA must have been thinking 'who better to help with the South Africa 2010 World Cup draw than Charlize Theron?' though they very nearly regretted their decision after she fired a warning shot at them.

Organisers were terrified that she would do the same again, during the actual draw, but she'd already had enough fun. I'm sure Sepp Blatter and his FIFA cronies would love a football distraction right now...
