THERON, WALKEN GET HASTY PUDDING HONOR

Academy Award winners Charlize Theron and Christopher Walken will add another trophy to their collection -- a Hasty Pudding award.

The awards, announced Thursday, are given each year to performers who have made a "lasting and impressive contribution to the world of entertainment" by Hasty Pudding Theatricals at Harvard University, the nation's oldest undergraduate drama troupe. Theron will be honored Feb. 7 with the traditional Woman of the Year parade and roast, and Walken will be similarly celebrated as Man of the Year during a tribute Feb. 15.

Theron, 32, won the best actress Oscar for her performance as a serial killer in 2003's Monster. Walken, 64, won a best supporting actor Oscar for his performance as a troubled Vietnam vet in 1978's The Deer Hunter.

OBAMA'S LIST FOR LETTERMAN

Sen. Barack Obama is making some campaign promises we can be pretty sure he won't keep.

Appearing Thursday on the Late Show With David Letterman, the Democratic presidential candidate delivered a tongue-in-cheek list of his top 10 campaign promises, including a pledge to rename the tenth month of the year "Barack-tober." Also on the list is a vow to "appoint Mitt Romney secretary of lookin' good" and another to "put Regis on the nickel."

Obama, the latest in a string of candidates to show up on Letterman's show, appeared just briefly to deliver the night's list.

And the No. 1 campaign promise?

"Three words: Vice President Oprah."

POP!
