Jason Bateman Calls Charlize Theron 'A Dirty Bitch'

Jason Bateman turned the air blue on live music show MTV TRL in US on Tuesday (24Jun08) when he called HANCOCK co-star CHARLIZE THERON "a dirty bitch". The former child star lashed out during a pop quiz, during which Theron had to guess whether Bateman or fellow co-star Will Smith matched descriptions she was given. And when she incorrectly guessed Smith was once named People magazine's Sexiest Boy to Man, Bateman put the censors on high alert with his fake outrage. After the tongue-in-cheek insult, Smith burst out laughing, while TRL host Lynsey Rodriguez cringed, saying, "Awkward, awkward," and quickly moved on to the next question.
