Is anyone else completely over Halle Berry? Everything about her was annoying me last night. Her interview on ABC seemed ?Oh, I?m so sad and serious, look at me.? Her special tribute to Lena Horne bugged me too. And the Marchesa dress - ugh. When I saw her, I got dj vu. I seriously feel like I?ve seen Halle wear this dress before, but I?m probably thinking about some older Armani or Elie Saab gown that was beige-nude and sparkly. Halle does sparkly beige-nude too much.
So? is it a pretty dress, regardless of what we may be feeling for or about Halle these days? Eh. I think Georgina Chapman was just like, ?Screw it, just Super Glue some more tulle on this junk and call it a day.? I did like Halle?s styling, though. She may be crazy, but she knows how to put an outfit together. Simple hair, dark eyes, very pretty. I also like that Halle didn?t bring Olivier Martinez to show him off on the red carpet. I wonder where he was?

An Open Letter to Olivier Martinez:
Look, dude. I get it. Halle Berry is hot. She?s beautiful and sexy and her body kicks ass. She?s also crazy. We know this. And I know guys always say crazy chicks are amazing in bed, but at some point, don?t you hit the wall, sexually?
Now, I know you?re not the brightest bulb. But I gave you credit for being smart enough to get out. Some tabloids even had you seriously reconsidering this whole relationship in the wake of this messy, tacky, and tragic custody battle with Gabriel Aubry. I hoped you are already on your way back to France. But no - here you are out with Halle last night. She took you to some pre-Oscar event, and she smiled smugly while you drove her away.
While you may know much more than I will ever know about crazy chicks and how they?re good in bed, here?s something I know: you can tell a lot about a person by how they treat their exes. You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat the father or mother of their children. And you can always go back to the cardinal rule of everything: if someone is trying this hard to convince you of something, you know the opposite is true.
Maybe you?re just sticking around through the awards season. God knows, you could probably use a leg up with some casting directors and producers, and Halle provides an entrance into that part of Hollywood that you weren?t getting before. Are you just screwing her for your career? Are you just holding on so it doesn?t look so obvious that you?re dumping her for being crazy? Are you just holding off because you know The Wrath of Halle will descend and suddenly you?ll find yourself, post-split, being called a racist and an abusive a–hole? Or are you in love? Ugh. I?m so disappointed in you.

| Halle Berry's half sister says that their dad wasn't abusive and wasn't an alcoholic | Added 13 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Last week, Halle Berry’s older half sister, Renee Berry, told In Touch that she thought Gabriel Aubry needed a better chance to co-parent his daughter Nahla. She said “You don?t get your wings by holding grudges? I hate that she?s going through with this custody battle. I?m sure it?s difficult for both her and Gabriel, but they should remember that the child comes first… If he wants to be a father, he should be allowed to do so.”
Renee, 51, has a new interview with The Daily Mail and she doesn’t pull punches when it comes to her relationship with Halle and some of the things that Halle has said about her father. Halle’s dad had Renee with another woman before he met Halle’s mom. The way Renee tells it, their dad liked to drink and he did spank them, but he wasn’t abusive like Halle claims. Renee also says that Halle has cut herself off from their side of the family, and that the would love to meet Nahla.
The actress’s half-sister Renee Berry, 51, accused the Oscar winner of cutting off the African-American side of her family.
Renee, a food service worker from Alabama, is desperate to reconnect with her famous sister, especially when she is going through such a difficult time in the courts.
Renee is the daughter of 44-year-old Halle’s late African-American father Jerome and Edwina Taylor - who broke up with him shortly before he started dating the actress’ mother Judith Hawkins.
Although Jerome and Judith split up when Halle was just four years old, Renee remained ‘very close’ to the future Hollywood star while they were growing up - despite cutting herself off from her father after the divorce.
Renee told the Daily Mirror: ‘I?m sad to say it seems like she does not want anything to do with us. I have not spoken to her in about five years.
‘I tried to contact her through her website, to congratulate her on her Oscar, but no one got back to me.
‘We would love to meet Nahla. We are desperate to understand why Halle is so upset, why she feels she cannot be with us.’
In interviews over the years, Halle has alleged Jerome was a violent alcoholic who beat her mother Judith in front of her and sister Heidi.
In an interview two years ago, Halle said: ‘I saw my mother battered, and could not do anything to stop it.
‘My father was tyrannical, lashing out at her for no reason. I felt the effects that had on our family - I?ve experienced what these women have gone through.’
Renee claims Halle was angry with her when she made a public plea to visit Jerome when he was dying from Parkinson’s Disease.
Despite Halle’s negative memories of her childhood with Jerome, Renee paints a very different picture of their father as a ‘good man’.
She said: ‘My father never beat any of us. He would spank us from time to time, but he never abused us. He liked a drink or two, like anyone else does, but he was not an alcoholic.’
[From The Daily Mail]
I hate that I’m defending Halle but both Halle and Renee could be right about their dad. It’s possible that Renee remembers it one way and Halle remembers it another, or that their dad was abusive to Halle’s mom but not to Renee’s mom. Also, the stuff about being estranged from the “African American” side of their family was written by The Daily Mail and Halle’s sister didn’t directly say that. She just said that she’s upset that Halle hasn’t talked to her in over five years. Halle is not the most stable or reasonable person but we don’t know the history there. Her sister seemed earnest about wanting a relationship with Halle and her quotes weren’t that sensational. The fact that Renee is so willing to talk to the press makes me question her side of the story, though.
Halle Berry was at the Costume Designers Guild awards last night in Beverly Hills and she looked amazing. That draped red dress would earn her best dressed at the Oscars. It’s gorgeous.

Well, this was completely predictable. After all of the dramatics over the past month between Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry, it seems Halle?s boyfriend of six months, Olivier Martinez, is starting to wonder? ?Hey, this bitch is crazy. Maybe I shouldn?t be with her?? This comes on the heels of the Enquirer?s reporting that Halle wants Olivier to be Nahla?s ?new daddy? - which Gabriel is understandably upset about.
Halle Berry?s love affair with French movie star Olivier Martinez has hit the rocks as Halle?s child custody battle threatens to sink their relationship. Halle and Olivier are having bitter arguments triggered bu Halle?s ugly clashes with Gabriel Aubry.
?They have been fighting constantly,? a source told the Enquirer. ?Halle?s mood swings are to blame. She is stressed about her conflict with Gabriel and has been taking it out on Olivier.?
Olivier cautioned Halle to handle the custody issue behind closed doors, but she proceeded to get in a public mud-slinging match with Gabriel.
?Olivier has seen a side of Halle he doesn?t like - and that has got him thinking she isn?t the one for him.?
[From The National Enquirer, print edition]
This is what I?ve been wondering since the beginning of Halle?s Campaign of Destruction: What the hell does her new boyfriend think? While I don?t think Olivier is the brightest bulb, I think even the most dense of guys would see huge red flags all over this situation and try to exit stage left. I mean? this is how she?s treating her last significant other, the father of her child. How is she going to treat you when it?s all over? I should represent Halle’s side too. Obviously, Olivier is racist. And abusive. There.
One last story - In Touch Weekly has an interview with Halle?s ?estranged half-sister? Renee Berry. Renee tells ITW that she would advise Halle to ?Bitch, be cool? - that is, if they were speaking. Renee says: ?You don?t get your wings by holding grudges? I hate that she?s going through with this custody battle. I?m sure it?s difficult for both her and Gabriel, but they should remember that the child comes first, and they should spare the child from being subjected to any of this.? Renee also says that Gabriel has a right to be a father to Nahla, and that Nahla has a right to have her dad in her life: ?If he wants to be a father, he should be allowed to do so. After all, so many men in this country run away from their responsibilities.? Wow? a reasonable person with the last name ?Berry?. Shocking!

She headed to court today (February 16) to deal with some on-going custody issues, and it sounds like Halle Berry got her way.
Sources at the courthouse told TMZ that the ?Catwoman? actress got the approval from the judge to head to New York City with her daughter, Nahla, to film the upcoming ?New Year?s Eve.?
Berry originally had to pull out of the movie to deal with the custody battle, which landed the role in the hands of Katherine Heigl. But now Halle's heading to the Big Apple to play a different character in the movie.
The Oscar-winning actress' lawyer, Neal Hersh, told press, "We are pleased the judge took the time to deal with this very imminent and important issue. The judge read a great deal of paperwork and gave us time to argue" and added, "Halle is very pleased with the judge's order."
As for Nahla?s father Gabriel Aubry, he has withdrawn his custody petition -- which is public -- but he's continuing his war by filing a paternity action which will not be open to the public.

Partaking in a sexy shoot to go with her cover duties, Halle Berry is featured in the March 2011 issue of Ebony magazine.
The Oscar Winning actress donned an array of barely-there ensembles as she flaunted her good looks for photogs looking for just the right snaps to adorn their mag's pages.
During the Ebony interview, Miss Berry made comments about daughter Nahla, during which she raised a few eyebrows while proclaiming, "I feel like she's black. I'm black and I'm her mother, and I believe in the one-drop theory."
As for how she identifies herself, Halle told, ?If you?re of multiple races, you have a different challenge, a unique challenge of embracing all of who you are but still finding a way to identify yourself, and I think that?s often hard for us to do. I identify as a black woman, but I?ve always had to embrace my mother and the white side of who I am, too. By choosing, I?ve often [wondered], ?Well, would that make her feel like I?m invalidating her by choosing to identify more with the black side of myself???
Of the rigors of juggling her acting career with motherhood, the 44-year-old dished, ?Being a mother is probably the most important thing in my life right now. Career is important, but nothing really supersedes my role as a mother. That?s the most important thing I?m going to do in this life at this point.?

How do I even summarize the current Halle Berry-Gabriel Aubry situation? How about this: CRAZY. If you?d like to read more, here?s your starter post. Anyway, as I mentioned yesterday, this custody drama is moving beyond TMZ and Radar, and several of this week?s tabloids have major stories about Halle and Gabe. Because of when tabloids go to print, I don?t think many of the stories are going to be about Halle?s comments on race and the ?one drop? theory, although I doubt even that is enough to get Halle the cover of In Touch or Us Weekly next week. For some reason the big stories, like this drama and the Mel Gibson stuff, don?t make many cover stories. Theories as to why that is?
So this is the Enquirer?s take on the situation - according to their sources, it comes down to money (and Halle not wanting to pay Gabe anything) and Olivier Martinez (who Halle wants as Nahla?s new daddy):
The vicious custody battle between Halle Berry and her ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry comes down to two issues, say her pals. Gabriel wants Halle?s money, and Halle wants her new guy, Olivier Martinez, to play daddy to Nahla.
?Halle is out to protect her pocketbook, while Gabriel is trying to protect his turf as Nahla?s father,? an insider told The Enquirer.
Another source says, ?This is going to be the custody battle of the century! Halle?s side is saying Gabriel called her the N-word while his friends are saying Halle was jealous of Gabe?s female pals. And the nastiness is just getting started!?
After Gabriel and Halle broke up, everything was cordial until Halle began dating her costar, Olivier Martinez. Gabriel flipped out, said the source: ?He said he didn?t want Olivier around their daughter. Halle shot back that Gabriel didn?t have the right to say anything about who she sees when she?s footing all the bills for their daughter. She told Gabriel she was making a life with Olivier and she hoped Nahla saw him as a father.?
Just before Christmas, they got into a nasty argument about Martinez at Halle?s house.
?Nahla started crying and didn?t want to go with Gabriel,? said a friend. That?s when Gabriel went to court seeking joint custody.
?Halle believes that not only is Gabriel jealous she?s found a new man, he?s worried about the gravy train leaving the station,? maintained the source. ?Halle says she?ll be damned if she?s supporting Gabriel. But Gabriel is determined not to lose his daughter.?
[From The National Enquirer, print edition]
I think in Halle?s mind, Gabriel probably is a gold-digger and this is all about him trying to ?get? something from her. I don?t know if Gabe is really that kind of guy though - in my opinion (and this is just my opinion), he could be a solid working model with a steady income, but he?s chosen to put his career on the backburner so that he can be a father to Nahla, and spend time with his daughter while Halle works wherever.
As for the Olivier Martinez? does anyone else wonder what?s going on in his head these days? He thought he was hooking up with some sexy, American A-lister and now he?s in the middle of all of this raging drama. Even if Halle wants Olivier to be Nahla?s ?daddy? that might not be what Olivier wants, you know?

These are new photos of Halle Berry out in LA yesterday. I hate that I?m in love with that sweater and that purse. God, those are beautiful. Anyway, Halle had lunch with a friend, and she got absolutely swarmed by paparazzi as she was leaving the restaurant. It was just 24 hours ago that her Ebony interview hit the media in a big way - including Halle?s revelation that she believes in the ?one drop? theory, which basically means that we?re all black, I think. She was probably also swarmed because although her ?team? has been leaking damaging information about Gabriel Aubry, Halle has yet to sit down and issue some kind of direct statement to the media about the custody battle. She just gets her rep to do the dirty work, or does it herself as an unnamed source. Even in that Ebony article, Halle didn?t talk directly about the custody battle, although I think she was alluding to it specifically when she talked about race.
I was glancing through this week?s tabloid covers, and I was shocked to see that Halle doesn?t take the full cover on any of them! It’s like the Mel Gibson-Oksana drama all over again - when the tabloids have a truly compelling and controversial drama in real time, they don’t know how to handle it. That being said, Halle takes the sidebar on many tabloids. Us Weekly has ?Halle?s Twisted Secrets? while In Touch Weekly goes with ?Halle?s Dark Secrets? (racist!). Star goes for the more direct ?Halle?s SMEAR CAMPAIGN against Gabriel & Kim?. Nobody has released anything yet, but I?m sure there will be lots of drama in the days to come.
