Here are some photos of Halle Berry at the London premiere of her latest film, Crime 101, in which she costars with Chris Hemsworth. Halle looked amazing in The New Arrivals (the dress) and it?s difficult to remember that the woman is nearly 60 years old. To promote Crime 101, she gave a lengthy interview to The Cut about ageing, menopause, her divorces, her relationship with Van Hunt and her war with California?s Governor Newsom. Last year, Newsom vetoed a bill which would have helped menopausal women significantly. Halle made so much news when she said publicly that Newsom will never be president if he consistently ?devalues women in midlife.? Well, she talks about that with the Cut as well. Some highlights:
Menopausal women get ?dry?: ?Look, it happens to more than 60 percent of women as we get older. Everything gets dry! If we talk about it and laugh about it, there?s no more shame or embarrassment. I?m almost 60. Fighting for women?s health feels like a formidable cause for my second act.?
A Scene in Crime 101 where her character spreads YSL?s Touche clat concealer all over her face: ?Her character rang so true for me. You get to this age where you feel like you?re being marginalized, devalued. You feel it at work. You feel it from society. But I have adamantly decided I am not going to allow myself to be erased. That?s why I?m on my menopause mission. I?m going to be louder than I have ever been.? Part of that mission involves telling more onscreen stories, including comedies, about middle-aged women and poking fun at herself along the way. ?When you get older, you stop getting sized up like a pork chop.?
Her third divorce from Olivier Martinez: ?After my third divorce, people started to say, ?What?s wrong with her? She?s crazy. She can?t keep a man.? And I would always argue, ?Who says I want to keep a man if he?s not the right man?? I pretty much stopped doing interviews for a decade because I got tired of the same old story. It was always: ?Poor Halle ? Unlucky in Love Again.?? When I ask her to come up with her own headline to set the record straight, she closes her eyes. ?Hmm. ?Halle Berry Is Not a Damsel in Distress.?? Pause. ??Halle Berry Is Not a Victim of Failed Relationships.?? Longer pause. ??Halle Berry Never Said It?s Anyone Else?s Fault.??
The stigma of beauty. ?Another thing nobody really gets about me is that I?ve been a fighter my whole life ? fighting to be seen for who I really am, fighting to be taken seriously as an artist, fighting the stigma of beauty.?
Winning the Best Actress Oscar: Winning the trophy was a career highlight, but ?that Oscar didn?t necessarily change the course of my career. After I won it, I thought there was going to be, like, a script truck showing up outside my front door,? she says. ?While I was wildly proud of it, I was still Black that next morning. Directors were still saying, ?If we put a Black woman in this role, what does this mean for the whole story? Do I have to cast a Black man? Then it?s a Black movie. Black movies don?t sell overseas.?? Berry once told three-time Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo, ?You goddamn deserve it, but I don?t know that it?s going to change your life. It cannot be the validation for what you do, right??
She?s winning: ?As a Black woman, now almost 60, I still get to work in movies and do what I love. I?m winning.?
Her war against Gov. Newsom: In November, she co-wrote an opinion piece in Time magazine criticizing California governor Gavin Newsom for vetoing the Menopause Care Act, a bipartisan bill designed to secure insurance coverage for proven treatments. Then, in December, she doubled down by scorching Newsom at a New York Times ?DealBook? summit ? even calling out his credibility as a future presidential candidate. ?The way he?s overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either. Just saying,? she announced onstage moments before he was scheduled to speak. Newsom responded through TMZ at an airport the next day: ?We?re reconciling this.? But over a month later, he still has not reached out as promised. ?It?s disturbing when people say they?re going to do things and then they don?t,? Berry tells me. ?But he heard what I said. If he is going to run to be our next president, he can?t sleep on women. Wake up, Gavin.?
Her relationship with Van Hunt: ?I?m in the best relationship I have ever had,? she says. This past June, Hunt proposed. And? She leans in. ?I haven?t said ?yes.? I don?t think we need to be married to have a meaningful relationship. I don?t know if we will ever get married,? she adds, citing ?health reasons,? or the access and right to make crucial medical decisions as a legal spouse, as one of her exceptions to the rule.
[From The Cut]
The only time I rolled my eyes was with the ?stigma of beauty.? I genuinely wish women who have lived their entire lives with pretty privilege would stop for a moment and understand that the ?stigma of beauty? is not a real thing, especially if you have more to offer than looks. The rest of this interview is great though I can?t believe Newsom still hasn?t reached out to Halle, and I hope she continues to use her platform to advocate for women over 50. It?s interesting as well that Van Hunt proposed and she took some time to make up her mind about it. After three divorces, she had every right to feel ambivalent towards marriage, although soon after this interview was published, Halle did accept Hunts proposal!

| | Halle Berry has been fostering kittens and wants to start her own cat rescue | | Added 52 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Last September, Halle Berry revealed that she?d adopted a new kitten named Bandit that she?d found in her yard. Bandit joined Halle?s two other cats, Boots and Coco, who also showed up in her yard the year before. She has two Labradoodle dogs as well. More kittens soon started popping up outside of Halles house, so she began fostering them and paying their vet bills as she found them new homes. Halle and her neighbors figured out that there was a tomcat who was ?laying pipe? in her neighborhood, so they set a trap to catch him and have him neutered. She was also able to catch the kittens? mother and get her spayed.
There must be something in the air in Halle?s neighborhood to make it such a fertile breeding ground because she keeps finding more kittens to foster and more parents to get fixed. During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show to promote her new movie, Crime 101, Halle revealed that she now has four cats and has started an unofficial cat rescue side hustle.
Im turning into a cat lady. I have four now? This isnt official, but I have named my rescue Hearts and Paws. I have found countless kittens, but I also try to catch the moms and the dads and get them fixed because thats how I fix the problem. And so I capture them, get them all tied up, and then Ive kept four of the kitties, but I find now I have to stop. And Im finding four is a lot. And I have two dogs, too. But Ive taken this on as like my side hustle in my neighborhood to sort of fix the problem.
[From YouTube]
Hearts and Paws is an adorable name for a cat rescue! I freaking love that Halle is still fostering kittens and helping them find homes. It?s also really great that she?s going the extra distance to catch the parents to have them spayed and neutered. She has a large platform and is using her resources and voice for good. I wonder if she will pursue starting an official cat rescue agency. We actually got our cat two years ago today (Feb 24) from a local cat rescue agency after several friends recommended it to us. She?s a tortie that was found living with her siblings at just a few weeks old and is the absolute best companion for our family.
Drew being Drew, she of course asked Halle if she?d ever heard two cats doing like they do on the Discovery Channel. Drew then did her own impersonation of what feline intercourse sounds like and got Halle to join in. It?s a wild moment that at first made me cringe but upon rewatch, I cannot stop laughing at it. As it turns out, when push comes to shove, I?d rather watch Drew imitate cat foreplay than awkwardly touch someone in the most uncomfortable way.

Gavin Newsom appears to be making preparations to run for president in 2028. He?s one of a handful of Democratic governors with national name-recognition, he?s governor of America?s most populous state and the biggest state economy. To his credit, Newsom and his team are getting in Donald Trump?s face constantly as well, and they are not ?going high? whatsoever. But Newsom is, I suspect, still not ready for the national spotlight at a policy level. This week, Halle Berry rather spectacularly highlighted one of her big problems with Newsom: his veto on a bill which would create medical, professional and personal protections for menopausal and perimenopausal women.
Halle Berry spoke candidly about her opinion of a possible presidential run by California governor Gavin Newsom on Wednesday at the New York Times DealBook Summit, declaring ?With the way he?s overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be the next president.?
Berry was objecting to Newsom?s lack of support for the Menopause Care Equity Act and his previous veto of a similar bill. Newsom is also appearing Wednesday at the summit.
If men ?had a medical condition that disrupted their sleep, brain function and sex life, we?d be calling that a health crisis on par with Covid, and the whole world would shut down,? Berry said. ?When women are struggling silently through perimenopause and menopause, trying to hold their families, careers, relationships and communities together, it doesn?t just affect women, it affects every household,? she told the conference in New York. ?It affects the workplace, it affects the economy. One in six women leave the workplace due to their menopausal symptoms. So it affects everybody.?
The proposed AB 432 would have mandated comprehensive insurance coverage for medically necessary menopause and perimenopause treatments, required doctors to complete continuing education on menopause and directed the medical board to develop a continuing education curriculum.
?I need every woman in this country to fight with me,? Berry said. ?But the truth is, the fight isn?t just for us women. We need men too. We need all of the leaders, every single one of you in this room ? this fight needs you. We need you to stay curious. We need you to ask questions. We need you to care even when the topic feels unfamiliar and uncomfortable.?
After Newsom failed to sign the bill in October, he said, ?Last year, I vetoed a substantially similar bill, stating that it would limit the ability of health plans to engage in practices that have been shown to ensure appropriate care while limiting unnecessary costs. That is still the case with this bill ? despite my call for a more tailored solution. This bill?s expansive coverage mandate, in conjunction with a prohibition on UM, is too far-reaching.?
But Berry had countered that insurance premiums would not be substantially affected. Berry, who has been advocating for more attention for women?s health issues, finished her nearly 15-minute speech by saying, ?At this stage of my life, I have zero fks left to give.?
[From Variety]
It sounds like an incredible bill which could have been a national leader in protections for women of all ages. It sounds like the kind of bill where a lot of women?s advocates and women?s health advocates came together to put together something thorough and well-thought-out. And Newsom just vetoed it out of hand because, in his own words, he worried that it would cost insurance companies too much to ensure quality healthcare to menopausal women. Halle is badass for talking about this, and her comments will get national exposure.

Here are more photos from Cannes Day 2. So far, I haven?t been too impressed with the glamour or fashion, which adds to my theory that Cannes is in its Bummer Era these days. It doesn?t help that many women probably have to wear their backup dresses, because Cannes organizers announced (on the eve of the festival) that there is a new ban on big, voluminous dresses and sheer/body-exposing fashion. Halle Berry even said that she had to change plans for her look on opening night. Well, I don?t know if she also had to change her planned outfit for Day 2, but holy sh-t. She wore this Celia Kritharioti Couture which is? AWFUL! I?ve seen a lot of commentary about Halle?s wacky style these days, but what?s crazy is? she still has that incredible figure, she?s still an extremely beautiful woman who looks much younger than 58. But she?s lost her style mojo and now she wanders around red carpets in sh-t like this.
Eva Longoria in Elie Saab. I love this? Beautiful color, glamorous, well-styled. I could nitpick the tailoring, but overall, one of the better looks I?ve seen at Cannes.
Irina Shayk in vintage Yves Saint Laurent while this is somewhat better than her previous Cannes looks, it?s still not great? Her styling is still tragic my hair looks like this ten minutes after washing it. Irina looks so tired!
Zoe Saldaa, the reigning Best Support Actress Oscar winner, turned up with her husband. Zoe wore Saint Laurent an incredibly basic black dress, jazzed up with a black leather jacket worn off the shoulder. Blah but I wasn?t impressed with her style during the awards season either.
Heidi Klum in Elie Saab. Nope. Unflattering! It doesn?t fit her.

I hate to say this because I usually think so highly of Halle Berry?s beauty and style, but I absolutely loathed Halle?s Met Gala look this year. Halle is all about the history of Black fashion and Halle IS part of that history. She could have done so many different things with the theme, and instead, she wore this LaQuan Smith which is? just bad. It?s unflattering, the design itself is not good (to put it mildly) and Halle one of the most beautiful women in the world looks tired, drawn and cartoonish.
Ciara & Russell Wilson- she also wore LaQuan Smith. I thought they were one of the best coordinated couple-looks. They looked amazing.

Presenter Halle Berry was such a standout on the red carpet in this intricately designed and fabulously executed Christian Siriano gown featuring thousands of mirrored pieces. I love the sequin mesh sides and the little train. I was just blown away by this gown. Christian Siriano was part of the E! fashion panel and he said it was a career goal to dress Halle for the Oscars. You could tell how proud he was of this look and he should be, it was phenomenal. The only thing Ill say against it is that it flashed on camera and reflected the light in a way I found distracting when she was on stage. I dont know how they could have avoided that. I would watch a two hour documentary on this dress. Her styling is also perfection.
I would have loved to have seen Van Hunt on the red carpet with her but he doesnt need to go to everything and I imagine that these ceremonies can be a drag for plus ones. Sometimes I think about Don Cheadle saying that he feels restrained at the Oscars because he cant talk smack about people when the cameras catch every moment. Thats so relatable to me apart from getting to go to the Oscars.
Presenter and EGOT Whoopi Goldberg wore a custom Siriano liquid water off the runway gown. I like how bold this is, the color and reflective properties of the fabric are such and standout. As a Gen X woman I love seeing Whoopi. She was a staple of my teen years. Whoopi brought her daughter, Alex Martin, as her date.
Performer Queen Latifah was also in Siriano, in a lovely crimson gown with puffy shoulders. Queen Latifah did the Quincy Jones tribute last night and I like that they opened with Ease on Down The Road from The Wiz! That was the first movie I remember seeing in a theater. I was five and I had skipped school that day, but my mom still let me go to the movies.
Speaking of the performances, we had a whole ass tribute to James Bond for some reason. Im thinking Amazon paid for that. My favorite performance was Raye doing Skyfall at the end. She was adorable in her red carpet interview and I will be watching her career. Raye wore Vivienne Westwood and she looked like a bombshell.
Doja Cat was very on brand in leopard print retro Balmain. This was kind of cool looking and weve seen so much worse from her. I kind of loved her performance outfit with the dripping sequins even though it was quite on the nose for Diamonds are Forever.

Last March, Halle did an event in Los Angeles with Dr. Jill Biden about women?s health. Halle shared a story about how one morning after sex, it felt like she had ?razor blades? in her vajayjay. Her doctor told her it was herpes, but it ended up being a perimenopausal symptom. A few months later, while speaking before Congress to push for legislation that would provide more funding for research and education on menopause, Halle shared that she had a male doctor who told her that she ?didn?t look like? she was in menopause. Now, Halle has started a new company called Respin Health that aims to destigmatize women?s health and build a support community. It will also educate and empower women to make informed decisions about their body. In a recent appearance on Today, Halle revealed that people tried to talk her out of talking about menopause for the sake of her career.
On Feb. 18, the Oscar winner appeared on the Today Show to discuss her new company, Respin Health, which focuses on building a community for women navigating menopause. ?When women have access to a robust community of like-minded women, they automatically start to do better,? the 58-year-old says.
Saturday TODAY co-anchor Laura Jarrett noted that although it sounds ?ridiculous,? it feels like menopause is finally having a moment, with more people willing to have conversations about it.
Berry said at first she was discouraged from pursuing the passion project: ?Sadly, people said to me, ?Are you sure you want to talk about that? Do you want to align yourself with menopause? Do you worry how that will affect your career?? And I said, ?No.??
?And that?s exactly why I should be talking about it because there?s nothing wrong with me being in my mid-life,? the actress continued. ?There?s nothing wrong with being 58, and you have to stop telling me there?s something wrong with me. And I?m going to prove to you that it?s not. And so women, we have to work together to destigmatize this time of life and change culture.?
The Catwoman star encouraged other women going through menopause to lean into their health more and understand what?s happening to their bodies.
?Women find when they start educating themselves that they can make decisions from a place of power, and then they feel empowered and they don?t feel so hopeless during this half,? she explained. ?It?s not time to sit down. It?s time to reinvent. It?s time to have a beautiful, glorious second act. We can still be our fabulous selves, but we have to learn how.?
During menopause, Berry added, ?everything about our body changes, right? But that?s not to be feared. We just need education to navigate that time.?
[From People]
Of course people would try to discourage Halle from speaking out about menopause and blame it on her career. She?s Halle Berry. She?s had worse gossip days than talking about vaginal lacerations and hot flashes, and her career is doing just fine. I?m glad she didn?t listen to the naysayers and is moving full-speed ahead with her mission. I love the idea. It sort of reminds me of what BabyCenter and The Bump do to guide people through pregnancy. I cannot tell you how much I learned about what I was experiencing and what to expect through their articles and message boards. I was 30 when my first son was born, but still the first in my friends group to be pregnant, so I had no peers to talk to. I?d be down to creep on a menopause version. I already get so much education just by reading the comments here.

| | Halle Berry on working with Pierce Brosnan: he restored my faith in men | | Added 599 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Halle Berry is busy promoting her new Netflix movie, The Union. My husband and I watched it last weekend. I liked it, but he did not. It followed the basic format of its genre and I correctly guessed the back-half of the movie?s plot twist within the first five minutes, lol. That was exactly what I was looking for in that movie and it hit its marks. Plus, I appreciated that almost every actor who was playing a spy in it was over 40.
Anyway, Halle did one of Wireds Autocomplete Interviews, which features celebrities answering questions about themselves that have been taken from Google?s autocomplete search results. One of the questions Halle was asked was, ?What James Bond movie was Halle Berry in?? (Halle played Bond Girl ?Jinx? in Die Another Day.) In her answer, Halle responded with some high praise for Pierce Brosnan, who was playing Bond at the time. According to her, Pierce is such a wonderful human being that he restored her faith in men.
What James Bond movie was Halle Berry in? That would be Die Another Day with Pierce Brosnan, Berry said in the video, in response to a prompt derived from Google searches with her name. He will always be my Bond, always.
I am a Pierce Brosnan fan. He restored my faith in men on that movie, she added. There couldnt be a human who is more of a gentleman than Pierce Brosnan.
Die Another Day marked Brosnans fourth and final turn playing British spy Bond. He first played the role in 1995s GoldenEye, and Daniel Craig memorably took on the part following Brosnan, beginning with 2006s Casino Royale. In Die Another Day, Berry played an American intelligence agent named Jinx. The movie released six months after Berry won her Academy Award for her role in 2001s Monsters Ball.
Bond wasnt on my wishlist, no, to be in one, but I loved the movies always, Berry further recalled of making the movie while speaking with Wired. But having been in one, I feel like Im a part of cinematic history. Those movies are iconic, they will forever be a part of our history, and Im really honored to have been part of one, especially with Pierce.
Berry has noted Brosnans kindness towards her on the movies set in the past, including in 2020, when she shared during an appearance on The Tonight Show that Brosnan once saved her from choking while they filmed a scene together.
?I was supposed to be all sexy and and seduce him with a fig,? she said at the time. ?And then he had to get up and do the Heimlich. So not sexy. You should?ve seen it ? James Bond knows how to Heimlich.?
?He was there for me, she added of Brosnan during that interview. He will always be one of my favorite people in the whole world.
Berrys appearance in Die Another Day proved popular enough that the producers behind the Bond movies began working on a spinoff movie for her character, but as Variety reported in September 2020, the studio decided not to move forward with the idea.
?It was very disappointing. It was ahead of its time, she told the outlet of the idea at that time. Nobody was ready to sink that kind of money into a Black female action star. They just weren?t sure of its value. That?s where we were then.?
[From People]
I didnt know that Halle has spoken about how great Pierce is before. That is crazy that he had to perform the Heimlich on her! I looked up what was going on in Halle?s life around the time that she was filming Die Another Day and she was married to Eric Bent at the time. I?m glad Pierce treated her with kindness and respect on set. In response to Halle?s comments, people have been sharing stories on Twitter about their positive experiences with Pierce, from randomly running into him while out and about to confirming that he?s ?lovely? to crew members on set. In an age where so many actors have ended up being problematic, it?s really refreshing to hear stories of the good ones. Between Doug Emhoff, Gov. Walz, and now Pierce Brosnan, tonic masculinity is having quite the week.
Right now, Pierce is busy filming the film adaptation of one of my favorite new book series, ?The Thursday Murder Club.? He?s playing Ron, which I wasn?t behind at first, but am absolutely willing to give him the benefit of the doubt now. I cant wait for that movie, especially since were going to have to wait so long for book five.
Sometimes I'll see a headline about Pierce Brosnan and think "Surely, he isn't *still* that handsome." and I am always wrong. pic.twitter.com/ISOh4U6sGd

A few weeks ago, Halle Berry filed an emergency motion in family court. The motion was complicated since Halle and Olivier Martinez got a divorce, they?re both supposed to undergo coparenting coaching sessions to help them raise their son Maceo. Olivier was skipping his sessions because he wanted to take the summer off and travel back to France for a time. Halle seemingly took advantage of Olivier being out of town to file that ?emergency motion,? and the family court was like? this is not an emergency. But Halle is going to do her thing, and I knew something bigger was coming. Here we go? Halle has now filed for sole custody of Maceo.
Halle Berry is seeking sole custody of her son, Maceo, claiming that his father, Oliver Martinez, refuses to co-parent or communicate in a child-centered way.
Weeks after The Union actress, 58, alleged that her ex-husband, also 58, failed to continue seeing a co-parenting coach ? and after a source told PEOPLE that co-parenting hasnt been easy for the former spouses ? Berry filed a request for sole legal custody of their 10-year-old son on Friday, Aug. 16. Per legal documents obtained by PEOPLE, Berry is requesting custody, ?or in the alternative, tie-breaking authority to make all decisions? about his education, health and therapy needs.
The documents, filed in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County, arrive a year after they finalized their divorce, nearly eight years after their 2015 split. At the time, they agreed to share joint legal custody of their son, with Berry paying Martinez $8,000 a month in child support and an additional 4.3% of any income she receives above $2,000,000.
In the latest filing, Berry claims shes made an effort to address her sons educational challenges and additional behavioral concerns as she fought for tutoring, an educational assessment and finding an environment that was suitable to Maceo?s needs. The filing alleges that Martinez, however, has been oppositional, unmoving and withheld his consent for years.
Because of Respondent?s opposition to any interventions whatsoever for years and because of Respondent?s prioritizing soccer activities over Maceo?s educational and psychological well-being, Maceo?s educational and behavioral challenges worsened, and he continued to fall further behind in school, the document alleges. Specifically, Berry claims that Maceo would act out toward her following longer periods of custody with his father and that her son would repeat disputes that the former couple had in private. She alleges that Martinez claimed the boy was old enough to make his own decisions.
A lawyer for Martinez told PEOPLE that he will be responding to these allegations in the coming weeks. A representative and a lawyer for Berry did not respond to PEOPLEs requests for comment.
[From People]
It sounds like Maceo has some special needs and instead of Olivier and Halle coming to an agreement about their son?s education and priorities, Olivier is the devil-may-care father who lets Maceo do whatever he wants while Halle has to play bad cop. I mean, this is Halle?s narrative. I wonder what Olivier?s narrative will be. To think that they managed to keep it together long enough to complete their divorce over the course of eight years, only for Halle to challenge the custody agreement one year after their divorce was finalized.

Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez were married for two chaotic years, 2013-2015. They welcomed their son Maceo in late 2013 and it genuinely felt like Olivier wanted to marry Halle so that he could protect his rights over his son. Olivier saw first-hand what Halle tried to do to Gabriel Aubry over their daughter Nahla, and Olivier was like ?that?s not going to happen to me.? And it didn?t. After a few weeks of back-and-forth accusations and drama in 2015, they managed to keep everything pretty quiet. I don?t even remember the last time I heard one thing about or from Olivier. Well, as it turns out, it?s taken them this long to work out the exact terms of their divorce. Like so many celebrity couples, Halle and Olivier bifurcated their divorce. They were officially ?divorced? in 2016, but it?s taken them eight-plus years to work out the custodial issues, child support and more. Well, everything was just completed.
Halle Berrys long road to finalizing her divorce to Olivier Martinez is officially over ? after the ex-couple hammered out a formal custody and child support arrangement that has the actress paying big bucks.
Heres the deal ? back in 2015, Halle and Olivier split after 2 years of marriage. The exes have one child, 9-year-old Maceo. They had a prenup, but the case still dragged on for years because there were some unresolved issues on custody and child support.
Fast forward to August 2023 Legal docs were filed in L.A. County Superior Court, which officially tied up the remaining loose ends on these issues. According to the new court docs, Halle and Olivier agreed to joint legal and physical custody of Maceo. The docs also say Maceo will attend individual and family counseling. Halle and her daughter, Nahla, (from her ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry), can sit in during the family sessions. But Halle?s current boyfriend, Van Hunt, is not allowed to participate.
Halle will have custody of Maceo Monday to Wednesday and Olivier will get him Wednesday to Friday, with some variations due to school closures. The pair will alternate custody of Maceo on the weekends.
As for child support, Halle has to pony up $8,000 a month to Olivier. She will also pay an additional 4.3 percent of all income she receives above $2 million.
It doesn?t stop there ? Halle must also cover Maceos private school tuition and 100 percent of his extracurricular activities, including soccer. Shes also on the hook for Maceos health insurance both medical and dental as well as any uninsured expenses.
[From TMZ]
I mean, Olivier comes across as profoundly jobless, but then again, Halle was always the breadwinner in their relationship and I don?t think $8,000 a month is too egregious given her net worth and income potential. It?s taken them eight years to come up with this Halle paying Olivier less than $100K a year in child support, plus she?s paying for all of Maceo?s school costs. Olivier didn?t take her to the cleaners and he seemingly kept it all about Maceo?s best interests. Good for him, I hope.
Anyway, I enjoyed looking at these old photos of Halle and Olivier. They were a total smokeshow for that brief moment they were in love. Like, you KNOW the sex was mind-blowing.
