I was all prepared to begin writing about Gabriel Aubry?s new public statement (via his rep) when I saw that this custodial drama between Halle Berry and Gabriel had taken the cover of this week?s People Magazine (see the cover here). Since it seems these two jags are bound and determined to fight this entire thing in the public sphere, I am only going to continue my non-committal attitude towards taking sides. I know many of you have already picked your side - that?s fine. I think they are both behaving inappropriately, and the accusations that are currently flying around are immature and nasty. Okay, first up: Gabe?s latest defense, via his rep to Us Weekly:
Gabriel Aubry isn’t going down without a fight. One day after Halle Berry announced she was pulling out of a movie (New Year’s Eve) to focus on “custody issues”

There were clues that something was amiss when Halle Berry’s ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry took legal action to establish custody rights of their two-year old daughter Nahla back in December, but now their facade of amicability has been completely shattered. Radar Online says:
Halle, 44, released a statement claiming that she has “serious concerns for her daughter’s well-being while in the care of her father for any extended period of time and is prepared to take all necessary steps to protect her.”
Gabriel, 35, is ready to fight and will seek sole custody of Nahla — [he] has already consulted attorneys in both California and Canada.
“Halle has gone too far this time,” the source [says]. “Attacking Gabriel and accusing him of being an unfit father is totally below the belt and completely without merit. He’s going to give as good as he gets. There’s no way he is going to allow Halle to take his daughter away from him.”
“He has all kind of weapons that he can, and will, use — some really embarrassing emails and voicemails from Halle that [she would not want] made public — things that really will show her true side and how manipulative, controlling, mean and self-obsessed she can be.”
I think Mr. Aubry has grossly overestimated the sway those voicemails and emails will have on her adoring public. No piece of evidence that he has could be more personally damning than “Catwoman” or “Swordfish,” and they still gave her an Oscar after that.

They began amicably, but now Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry are getting nasty in their custody battle over daughter Nahla.
According to Radar, the 35-year-old male model has hired lawyers in both California and Canada in his bid to gain sole custody of the youngster.
And after Ms. Berry?s remarks about ?having serious concerns for her daughter?s well-being while in the care of her father for any extended period of time,? Gabriel is irate.
An insider told press, "Halle has gone too far this time. Attacking Gabriel and accusing him of being an unfit father is totally below the belt and completely without merit. He's going to give as good as he gets. There's no way he is going to allow Halle to take his daughter away from him."

As I wrote this morning, the custody battle for Nahla Aubry is heating up, with Halle Berry issuing a series of harsh remarks through her representative, to People Magazine. Now comes the tabloid factor - TMZ and Radar both have reports on the looming Halle-versus-Gabriel court battle. First, TMZ?s piece:
Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry have been locked in conflict over custody of 2-year-old Nahla for months … and much of it centers around Halle’s movie career.
Sources familiar with the case tell TMZ … Aubry has complained when Halle leaves town it interferes with his ability to be a father. Accommodations were made for Gabriel to accompany Halle and Nahla to London last August after he complained.
Sources say the couple has never gone to court to establish custody and visitation rights. They have tried working it out between themselves, but the situation has now become impossible.
TMZ broke the story … Gabriel filed for paternity last month. Officially we’re being told it was a formality. In fact, it was a prelude to what has become a bitter custody fight.

TMZ?s report actually seems like it could have come from either camp, which makes me suspect that it?s somewhat accurate. Gabriel memorably tagged along with Halle to South Africa, where she filmed a movie last summer with Olivier Martinez, who quickly became her lover. Gabriel seems perfectly willing to drop everything to follow Halle and Nahla, although I could understand why Gabriel is seeking a more structured and formal custodial arrangement. What doesn?t help matters, however, is that Gabriel or some member of Team Aubry keeps leaking really vicious stuff to Radar:
Gabriel Aubry, 35, is ready to fight and will seek sole custody of Nahla, a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com exclusively. The source says that Candadian-born Gabriel has already consulted attorneys in both California and Canada, as Nahla has dual citizenship, and will actively be pursuing sole custody — something that was never his intention
“Halle has gone too far this time,” the source tells RadarOnline.com. “Attacking Gabriel and accusing him of being an unfit father is totally below the belt and completely without merit. He’s going to give as good as he gets. There’s no way he is going to allow Halle to take his daughter away from him.”
Some of the weapons Gabriel is prepared to use in the battle include voicemails and emails from Halle ? messages that do not show her in a flattering way. The messages show a mean and controlling side of Berry, according to the source, and there?s no way she would want the made public.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Gabriel felt forced to take legal action back in December to establish his custody rights following a series of explosive outbursts by Berry.
Gabriel’s intention at the time was purely to gain the right to joint custody — believing that despite his personal problems with Halle that she was, overall, a good mother.
But, according to the source, Halle’s latest actions have changed his mind on that front.
“It’s obvious to Gabriel that Halle is using their daughter to get to him, and there’s no way on Earth he is going to allow that to happen. He is going to do all in his power to keep Nahla in his life — whatever that entails. Gabriel believes he can provide Nahla with a much more stable, consistent home life than Halle. He is willing to totally put his career on hold to care for her, whereas Halle is constantly traveling around the world and working on film sets. If she wants to fight dirty he has all kind of weapons in his arsenal that he can, and will, use. Gabriel has some really embarrassing emails and voicemails from Halle that there is no way she would want being made public — things that really will show her true side and how manipulative, controlling, mean and self-obsessed she can be.?
“If he is forced to he will go all out to make sure the truth is known and that ultimately his daughter is protected and properly cared for,” the source said.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Gabriel has believed for some time that Halle has hired a PI to trail him, something, the source says, makes perfect sense in light of Halle’s latest comments.
“She’s obviously trying to build a case that Gabriel is an unfit father, and good luck with that! This guy is one of the most down to Earth, regular, bordering on boring men I know. She’ll really have to go some to dig up even a parking ticket. He’s as clean cut as they come.”
Meantime, the source says that Halle is pushing hard to try to get a hearing at family court before the end of the week — something she has, so far, had no joy achieving.

Ugh. As I said before, I still think that Gabriel and Halle are probably very good parents. The problem is that they?re BOTH so friggin? immature. Yesterday, I was feeling the 50-50 split for assigning blame between the two of them, but now I?m sliding slightly in favor of Gabriel, just because I do think Halle was being unnecessarily harsh when she called into question Gabriel?s ability to be a good father to Nahla. So now I?m basically thinking: Halle gets 55% of the blame for being childish and immature, and Gabriel gets 45% of the blame.

A couple of weeks ago, Radar published a particularly vicious anti-Halle Berry report. The sourcing was odd - the quotes either came from Gabriel Aubry or someone directly involved with Gabriel?s business, and the ?source? made Halle sound like a vindictive, controlling, and completely crazy bitch. And it made Gabriel sound like the poor little innocent victim, caught up in Hurricane Halle?s path of destruction. I thought at the time that the report could an opening salvo in what was looking like a full-blown custody war between Halle and Gabriel - all to see who gets custody of their daughter, Nahla. Late Monday, People Magazine had a report where the sourcing was very clear - everything is coming from Halle?s rep. And it?s in People! Meaning: This is Halle?s official version of what?s going down as far as custody. Apparently, Halle is very close to asking the courts to give her sole custody of Nahla because, in the words of Halle?s rep, ?Halle has serious concerns for her daughter’s well-being while in the care of her father for any extended period of time and is prepared to take all necessary steps to protect her.? Day-um.
Halle Berry says she’s preparing to go to court with her ex Gabriel Aubrey over custody of their 2 -year-old daughter Nahla.
“Halle has serious concerns for her daughter’s well-being while in the care of her father for any extended period of time and is prepared to take all necessary steps to protect her,” the actress’s rep tells PEOPLE.
To clear her schedule for custody litigation, Berry, 44, pulled out of the film New Year’s Eve, set to start filming this week in New York. She’s being replaced by Katherine Heigl.
“She has attempted to resolve these custody issues amicably with her daughter’s father, Gabriel Aubry, directly, but given his lack of cooperation, Halle has no choice but to seek swift judicial intervention,” her rep says.
Aubrey, 35, filed court papers Dec. 30 seeking to be formally recognized as Nahla’s father and to establish that he’ll share custody. The couple split last April.
There was no word on what prompted the custody dispute.
Berry’s rep says, “Halle has always made the needs and safety of her daughter her first priority and, both while Halle and Gabriel were a couple and since their break-up, Halle has only acted in her daughter’s best interest.”

I wondered if this was going to get dirty. A lot of you yelled at me, back in the day, when I questioned the back-and-forth from Camp Aubry and Camp Berry in the tabloids, and what that kind of immature bickering would mean long-term for their custodial arrangement for Nahla. Now what seems like a tenuous truce over the past year is completely gone - it is now full-blown war. And I?m not picking sides with these two, either. I think Halle is a nut-job when it comes to men and relationships, but I also think she?s a good mother. I think Gabriel is probably dumb as a box of hair, and his public pity party grates on my nerves. BUT - I also think he cares a lot about Nahla, and really wants to be involved in her life as much as possible. Basically, I think they?re both good parents who are using their daughter?s custody as a way to fight with each other. Both are handling this situation poorly. Just my opinion.

Making for quite the kickoff to a romantic weekend, Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez took their love to the beach in Malibu, CA on Friday (January 28).
The "Dark Tide" co-star couple laughed it up during a lovers' stroll along the Pacific shoreline while taking in the picturesque sunset.
Aside from their blossoming relationship, Miss Berry is gearing up to release her third fragrance Reveal , which hits store shelves next month.
Described as a blend of lumeria, peach vetiver and mimosa notes, Halle said this in a statement: ?Reveal is an invitation for women to share their story, to reveal some parts of themselves that they have not yet expressed. It is a timeless fragrance that I think will make women feel beautiful and confident? Reveal has a perfect balance. Light and fresh, it becomes sexier and more mysterious as you wear it.?

Seeking out the perfect place for her daughter to grow, Halle Berry was out school hunting in Hollywood, California on Wednesday (January 26).
The Oscar winning actress made her way over to ABC Little School for a staff-guided tour of the facility as she decides where to send her little girl, Nahla Aubry.
The outing comes as Miss Berry continues to be courted by Aretha Franklin - who desperately wants Halle to portray her in a movie based on her life.
Relaying the message through Wendy Williams via letter, the Queen of Soul wrote, "Many actors have portrayed vocalists by lip-synching to the artist's original recordings. I would have liked Halle Berry to portray the older Aretha in the upcoming biopic of my life based on my memoir 'Aretha: From These Roots,'"

Closing out the week alongside her man, Halle Berry was joined by Olivier Martinez on a Los Angeles excursion on Friday afternoon (January 21).
The Oscar winning actress and her "Dark Tide" co-star beau looked very much in love as they laughed amongst one another while hitting up a convention center to check out an art show.
And while Halle is happily moving on with her love life, breaking reports tell that her ex-hubby Eric Benet has just gotten engaged to be married once more.
The 44-year-old musician popped the question to Manuela Testolini back in November, as he just revealed, "During a romantic dinner I decided to finally let Manuela hear 'Never Want to Live Without You,' a song off my new album that I had written for her. I sang it to her, then got down on one knee and proposed."

Halle Berry made it sound like her split from the father of her two-year old daughter Gabriel Aubry back in April was perfectly amicable. And it was, if by “perfectly amicable” you meant “she calls him non-stop screaming like a psycho bitch and stalks him on dates.” I guess it’s more of an open interpretation of the word. Radar Online says:
The situation has gotten so bad that Gabriel felt “forced” to file a petition on December 30 for custody of their two-year-old daughter Nahla, to ensure his legal rights to visitation.
“Basically whenever Gabriel doesn’t do exactly what Halle tells him to do, or if he does something she doesn’t approve of or like, she goes crazy on him, screaming and shouting,” the source says. “Contrary to public perception Halle has a particularly nasty temper, and she can be really controlling and vindictive.”
[But] you can expect Team Berry to go into PR overdrive when it comes to reports of any bad behavior on the 44-year-old’s behalf.
Halle is very protective of her image and those around her have already gone to great lengths to say that everything is great between her and Gabriel, often twisting the truth to portray Halle in a better light.
Well, of course she’s crazy. She’s a black woman. Has Tyler Perry taught you nothing in the last five years? Really!
