Halle Berry did an interview with Extra to help publicize her work with the Jenesse center for abused and battered women and children. (Video above and here.) Halle looked really hot in a lot cut fuschia dress that she wore to a fundraiser for the center over the weekend. Her face was impossibly smooth and glowing. If I could get some injectables, laser resurfacing and Botox and look as supernaturally perfect as Halle I would do it in a heartbeat. I’d probably get the dermatologist who ended up making me look like Jill Zarin, though. Maybe it’s genetics plus injectables though, like some people look more normal after getting work done.
Halle told Terri Seymour about how she helped set up a special room with clothing, art and educational materials at the shelter called “Nahla’s world.” She said that there’s a stigma associated with staying at a shelter but that she wanted to create something aspirational for the women there. Terri asked about Halle’s boyfriend, Oliver Martinez, who went to the fundraising event to support her. Halle got kind of excited and said “he is really proud and you know, he’s inspired. He’s got his own ideas of how he can get involved in the center and help the boys… be sort of a male figure.”
Terri said it’s been a year since she saw Halle at the last fundraiser and asked her what her year has been like. She answered. “It’s been a year full of challenges, but every year seems challenging in one way or another.” As for whether custody is going well she said “It is, and you know what, that’s a relief. When there’s a child involved, it’s a relief when you can resolve things in a good way. Our issues were never about fighting for her, you know? We know that a child needs both parents but I think what I want to say about it is that sometimes as a couple you reach an impasse. We need a court and a judge to help us work out some of the delicate issues, and I’m so happy we’ve arrived at that place… because for her sake, this is the best way. So we’re good… It’s a huge relief, because we both love her more than life.”
Halle talks a good game and you could tell she was being careful about how she phrased things. Extra! reports that this is the first time she’s spoken publicly about her custody battle, and I could have sworn that wasn’t the case. Only Halle has just leaked stories to the press in the past to try and make Gabriel out to be the bad guy. When she finally deigns to talk publicly, she couches everything in vague concepts like she was just an average mom getting a divorce who didn’t exploit her daughter’s normal emotions about her parents splitting up in order to try and malign her ex. She probably feels like she handled it all normally too, because the end result is that she’s reached a peaceful agreement with Gabriel. Rumor has it that he had some real dirt on her and that’s why she was so willing to play nice.

For the record, Halle Berry?s body is still amazing. Right? These are photos of Halle, with her French lover (and ?bidness? associate) Olivier Martinez last night at the Silver Rose Awards. Halle was honored at the ceremony/fundraiser, which benefits Halle?s long-standing charitable cause, the Jenesse Center. The Jenesse Center helps victims of domestic violence through counseling, housing and education.
Apparently, “E” designed this dress (??)… I don?t really like it. Honestly, I would probably hate it on anyone else, but Halle comes close to making it work. The color looks good on her, the neckline is flattering, and the cut? well, Halle always knows how to wear dresses that cling to every curve. I think my problem is with the ruched sleeves? The sleeves look budget, and they bring down the dress. Beyond the fashion aspect, is this a good look for Halle? I?m talking about her face- while I?ve always thought Halle had rather sad eyes, for the past few events she?s attended, her eyes have been looking? I don?t know. Darker. Unstable. Like she?s a woman on the verge.
Olivier?s face looks like hell, but I like his suit, and the combo of a grey suit with a black shirt. I?m also kind of impressed with Olivier? you know they?re coming up on their one year anniversary very soon, right? I wonder when their film Dark Tide is coming out? Will they go much longer beyond the film?s promotion, or is this something deeper? Honestly, I?m starting to wonder if Olivier actually has feelings for Halle. He seems very happy to show up for her, and he seems like a *gasp* good boyfriend. I wonder what Halle will accuse him of when they do split?
In other Halle news, a few days ago it was announced that Halle was pulling out of a planned debut on Broadway in September. Halle had signed on for a production of The Mountaintop, but the show?s producers told the media that Halle had dropped out because of ?child-custody issues.? Fun fact: The play is about the 24 hours before Martin Luther King?s assassination, and Samuel L. Jackson will be playing Dr. King. That?s an interesting choice, right? Halle was supposed to play a maid at the Lorraine Hotel, where Dr. King was assassinated.

She's a regular at the annual event, and this year Halle Berry was honored at the Silver Rose Awards Gala at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunday (April 17).
The Oscar-winning actress brightened up the room in a colorful Pink frock as she was joined by attendees including Terri Seymour, Christina Milian and Taraji P. Henson.
As for the cause, the Silver Rose Gala is "a fundraiser that supports efforts in continuing to provide critical programs and services for families affected by domestic violence. The event highlighted the progress Jenesse Center has made in changing the lives of women and children for 28 years."
Miss Berry's appearance at the event comes just as it has been announced that she'll be foregoing her Broadway plans due to her current custody battle with ex-beau Gabriel Aubry.
Having been lined up to star in the adaptation of Katori Hall's play "The Mountaintop" this September, producers have since released a statement confirming her departure, which reads: "Ms Berry would not be appearing in the role due to child-custody issues."

Over the past week, Halle Berry has been getting pap?d constantly. It was getting to the point where I was wondering if there was another big build-up in access to her in exchange for various media outlets getting strategic ?leaks? about Gabriel Aubry?s alleged abuse and racism. Well? that still might happen, but for now I?m cautiously optimistic. TMZ reports that Halle and Gabriel were in court yesterday, and that they are close to finalizing their custodial agreement for Nahla.
Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry just left the L.A. County Courthouse, after trying to finalize a custody settlement with the judge.
TMZ was in the courtroom when Judge Mark Juhas said to Gabriel and his lawyers, “We’re making huge progress. We need to stick with it.”
Halle and her lawyers, Neal Hersh and Judy Bogen, went into chambers to talk with the judge. Before that, Gabriel and his lawyers, Gary Fishbein and Kristina Royce, went into chambers to jawbone with hizzoner.
We’re told it’s all part of a settlement conference over Nahla’s custody and visitation. The major stumbling block has been Halle’s acting schedule, which takes her out of town from time to time.
From what happened this AM, it looks like Halle and Gabriel are on the verge of an agreement — and a truce.
[From TMZ]
Am I the only peeved by this news? I mean, I appreciate that Halle and Gabe are both FINALLY acting like adults and keeping their personal dramas quiet, but on the other side, I remember all the crap Halle said about Gabriel, and it bothers me that no one else is bringing it up. If Gabe was such a horrible, abusive, neglectful racist, why is are the final custodial discussions going so smoothly? Shouldn?t Halle be fighting harder? Unless she was just making that stuff up completely, right? So? why isn?t that being addressed? Is it because everybody?s just happy that Halle?s Crazy is subdued for now? What happens when it rears up again?

Enjoying a day out in Los Angeles, Halle Berry was spotted with her daughter Nahla at the Staples Center parking lot yesterday (April 11).
The ?Swordfish? hottie carried her little one and her backpack as they arrived back at their car and drove home.
In a recent interview, Halle talked about the fact that she?s just not into marriage and blames it on her father who abandoned her family when she was young.
"I wish I had known then that I was not the marrying kind. It would have saved me a lot of time, heartache and grief over the years. I made all the wrong choices when it came to love. I have been an idiot. But, now, it is like a gift to myself - seeing more clearly and making better decisions.?
?One thing was unavoidable. My father left us when I was young and that did affect my life. If I had a good father in my life, growing up, then I do not think I would have made the mistakes I made. I would not have been lost in love.?

Enjoying a lovely evening together, Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez were spotted out in Los Angeles last night (April 7).
Joined by a few friends, the ?Monster?s Ball? babe and her ?Unfaithful? beau strolled down the Sunset Plaza as the paparazzi snapped up pictures.
Earlier this week, Halle and Olivier were once again seen making their rounds, this time on a romantic dinner date.
Perhaps this time around Halle has found true love that will last beyond the pressures of her Tinseltown lifestyle.

Enjoying some quality time together, Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez were spotted out to dinner in Los Angeles last night (April 3).
The ?X-Men? actress and her hunky beau looked to be enjoying each other?s company as they exited a swanky eatery holding hands.
Over the weekend, Halle got plenty of attention as she took her adorable daughter Nahla to the beach in Malibu.
Berry attracted the lenses of a few shutterbugs as well as some obvious glances from an opportunistic dad whose daughter was playing with Halle?s girl.

These are newish photos of Halle Berry and Nahla having some fun on a Malibu beach a few days ago. Nahla seems to be stuck at this size and this level of extreme cuteness, doesn?t she? Sometimes, celebrity children never seem to age - Nahla joins Britney Spears? sons in that way. Also: I dislike Halle?s coverup. It makes her look broader than she actually is, and it feels like she?s got the shoulders pushed down so that the paparazzi get shots of her boobs. It?s all kind of tacky. But Nahla?s adorable at least.
Speaking of tacky, Halle and Olivier Martinez are still going strong. They keep getting photographed out and about on their date nights. I still wonder if Olivier is in some kind of biscuit-haze, or if he?s just staying with Halle because he?s terrified of what she?ll say about him once they?ve broken up. The Millionaire Matchmaker agrees with me - Patti Stanger tells E! News that she think Olivier and Halle will be the next big celebrity breakup because, in her words, ?Because that man’s a f–king cheater!? She doesn?t mention that they might breakup because Halle is crazy, but sure, I could see Olivier screwing around. In all honesty, I can?t wait for the breakup, because I want to see how Halle plays it. I think she?s been told that people aren?t buying her victim act anymore, and that the way she went after Gabriel Aubry really hurt her image. So? it will be interesting to see if she can contain the crazy in the future.
