SHUT YOUR MOUTH, I LOVE THIS. I really do. Twitter blew up last night when Halle Berry arrived on the Oscar red carpet in this Versace and what looked like a backwards wig. First of all, the only thing wrong with the wig is that it distracted from what was actually one of the best gowns of the night! This Versace is really beautiful and flattering. Second of all, are we absolutely positive that this is a wig? Halle?s been growing out her hair for a few years, and I actually think the lopsided ?wig? effect is a genuine hairstyle designed to telegraph the fact that Halle has no f–ks to give. In any case, I love it, from lopsided curls down to the ground. She?s wearing everything like she?s having fun too.
After that entire controversy involving Karl Lagerfeld and accusations of cheapness, Meryl Streep didn?t even walk the Oscars red carpet to show off her custom Elie Saab! I guess I don?t blame her, really. She?s Meryl Streep, she got an Oscar nomination for a cheeseball performance and she got a standing ovation for just showing up, basically. As for this Elie Saab? it?s actually a pantsuit/gown hybrid. I would dislike this on someone else, but it sort of works on Meryl.

Woe are the beautiful women of Hollywood. No one understands how they suffer. When a beautiful woman comes into a casting call, every door shuts in her face. I know that because so many beautiful actresses complain about how difficult it is for them to be beautiful. Jessica Biel has complained, as has Charlize Theron. And now it?s Halle Berry?s turn! To be fair, the context of Halle?s comments does make this a little less egregious. Halle was profiled as one of the many October covers for W Magazine, and she starts out talking about her early years in the beauty pageant system (where she was eventually NOT crowned Miss USA). Then it goes from there. You can read the full piece here. Some highlights:
How she got into the beauty pageant life: ?Actually, my boyfriend at the time wanted a beauty pageant girlfriend. So he entered me and I got this letter in the mail saying, “You are a finalist in the Miss Team Ohio,” and I thought “Uh, what is this?” And then he told me, “Oh, by the way, I sent your prom picture in and now you have to go.” So I took my prom dress–It was quite taffeta, hoop skirt, off the shoulders, almost like I was getting married–and I went to this contest, thought it was fun, and I ended up winning. And once you start winning these things it’s like a snowball. And you have to go to the next one and if you when there you go to the next one, and I kept winning all the way until the Miss USA pageant where I did not win. I was first runner up to Christy Fichtner. And that ended my beauty pageant career.
Beauty pageant talent: ?I had no talent. We didn’t have to have the talent. [In] Miss America you need a talent. Miss USA you’re talentless. You just show up. Thank god I didn’t have to sing.?
She never wanted to play ?the gorgeous girl?: ?Yeah. It was intentional to not play the gorgeous girl. I came from the world of beauty pageants and modeling and right away when people heard that I got discounted as an actor. So, I had the job of trying to eliminate that part of my persona, and Spike [Lee] gave me a chance to do that. And I took on roles early on that really didn’t rely on my physical self at all and that was a good way to sort of get some credibility within my industry.?
Beauty adversity: ?With Monsters Ball, Lee Daniels didn’t want to see me read. He was actually disgusted by the thought. He thought there’s no way and my argument to him was, just because someone looks a certain way doesn’t mean that they are spared adversity. Adversity does not discriminate. I thought, “My looks haven’t spared me one hardship or one hurt moment or one painful situation. So please, you know, give me a shot at this.” I said, “I often think it’s more interesting when you see someone that looks a certain way struggle in ways that you wouldn’t think they would be struggling with.” He ultimately gave me a chance and that sort of changed the course of my career in so many ways.
[From W Magazine]
?Adversity does not discriminate.? I get what she?s saying. Someone beautiful can still have a terrible marriage and a sh-tty job. Someone beautiful can still be mistreated, assaulted or worse. We all have struggles, even beautiful people. But! So many of these beautiful women ? Halle, Charlize, Jessica Biel ? rarely understand that their lives have always been blessed in a different way because of their bubble of beauty privilege. Sure, Halle had to argue, beg and plead for a chance to audition for a role. But what about all of the (less attractive) women who never got in the door because they didn?t have the ?name? of an actress who get a film greenlighted? And why couldn?t those women make a name for themselves? Because they didn?t get the roles before that, because they were pretty enough, or compelling enough on screen, or watchable, or ?hot.?

Halle Berry was the first woman of color to ever win the Best Actress Oscar. She won in 2002 for Monster?s Ball. And Halle is still the only woman of color to ever win for Best Actress, although Gabourey Sidibe, Viola Davis and Quvenzhan Wallis have all been nominated for Best Actress in the years since Halle?s win, and many people (me) believed that Viola was robbed. In the past few weeks, Halle has been silent about #OscarsSoWhite, but she attended the Makers Conference this week and she did a Q&A session with Kevin Huvane. Here?s what she said:
?Honestly, that win almost 15 years ago was iconic,? she told CAA?s Kevin Huvane. ?It was important to me, but I had the knowing in the moment that it was bigger than me. I believed that in that moment, that when I said, ?The door tonight has been opened,? I believed that with every bone in my body, that this was going to incite change because this door, this barrier, had been broken. And to sit here almost 15 years later, and knowing that another woman of color has not walked through that door, is heartbreaking. It?s heartbreaking, because I thought that moment was bigger than me. It?s heartbreaking to start to think maybe it wasn?t bigger than me. Maybe it wasn?t. And I so desperately felt like it was.?
?It?s really about truth telling,? added Berry ?And as filmmakers and as actors, we have a responsibility to tell the truth. And the films, I think, that are coming out of Hollywood aren?t truthful. And the reason they?re not truthful, these days, is that they?re not really depicting the importance and the involvement and the participation of people of color in our American culture.?
[From Deadline]
Yeah, I?ll throw shade at Halle for a lot of things, but I think she?s completely on target here. In that moment, when she won, she really did believe that her win was a watershed moment for Hollywood diversity. She really believed that she was one part of breaking the glass ceiling for women of color. And I buy that her disappointment is genuine, that here in 2016, she really doesn?t want to be the only woman of color to ever win a Best Actress Oscar.

Kicking off her weekend a little early, Halle Berry showed up at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel on Thursday evening (August 13).
The ?Monster?s Ball? babe was in the house for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association?s annual Grants Banquet and she looked stunning in a figure-hugging fitted blue cut-out dress as she mingled with fellow famous guests.
And during the course of the evening, Halle and her Tinseltown peers presented more than $2 million in grants to nonprofit arts organizations. Each year the HFPA designates some of the monies acquired via the Golden Globes to be used for such grants.

The tabloids have been whispering for a year now that Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez?s marriage has been on the rocks as soon as it began, pretty much. Over the past month, those rumors heated up a bit as Halle stepped out several times without her wedding rings (because Ring Watch is so reliable, right?) and even more telling, she totally forgot her wedding anniversary. Radar said last week that Halle and Olivier aren?t even living together and that they?re both pretty over it. Well, Halle has a message for the haters: it?s not she?s forgetting to wear her ring, she just lost it! And she hasn?t bothered replacing it.
Halle Berry divorce rumors have been in high gear, and the evidence fueling the fire is that she’s been ringless … but now we know why, and it has nothing to do with divorce.
Our sources say, Halle lost her engagement ring in Mexico a year-and-a-half ago. She was at the Acapulco International Film Festival in January 2014 where she received the Silver Jaguar Award. Halle says the ring either fell off her hand or she left it on a table and someone took it.
As for why she or hubby Olivier Martinez haven’t replaced it … we’re told it just wasn’t a priority. BUT …. she still regularly wears her gold wedding band.
Our sources say there’s been no discussion about divorce with an attorney. Sorry, fellas … Halle is still off the market.
[From TMZ]
I?m including some photos of Halle clearly wearing her wedding band but not her yellow-gold-and-emerald engagement ring. Not to be rude about a ring that some of you may like, but if a man gave this ring to me, I would ?lose? it as well. God, it?s fug.

So, do you believe that Halle merely lost her ring and she and Olivier are so loved up that it just never occurred to them to replace it? Hahaha. I hope Olivier is getting his ducks in a row for what will likely be the most contentious fight since? Halle?s last (and ongoing) custody dispute.

| | Radar: Halle Berry & Olivier are living separately because of his 'runaway temper' | | Added 9 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

I truly don?t believe Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are still together. They?re still married, obviously, but I believe they?ve been separated for much of this year, if not longer. From what little I know of Olivier, he seems like he?s just as high-maintenance as Halle, and just the thought of those two volatile personalities together? well, I can?t say I?m at all surprised it fell apart. Allegedly. Because they haven?t announced anything yet. But in addition to Halle not even remembering her anniversary AND getting to work with hottie Jeffrey Dean Morgan, it seems that Halle has also been walking around LA without her wedding ring. And Radar says that Halle and Olivier are already living separately.
Halle Berry is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful women in the world, but despite having looks, wealth, and fame, the Academy Award winning actress has long been unlucky in love. Now, just as it began to seem that Berry had found her happily ever after with French actor Olivier Martinez, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that her marriage is rapidly crumbling after she was spotted out in Los Angeles without her wedding ring.
?It seems Halle and Olivier have finally hit the end of the road,? a family friend told Radar. ?They?ve weathered a lot of ups and downs in their relationship ? but recently, Olivier has been completely MIA!?
The preliminary signs of trouble came back in October of 2014 when Radar reported that the couple had rarely been seen together since the birth of their son Maceo a year earlier. Berry, who was pregnant with Maceo when she married Martinez in 2013, also has a seven-year-old daughter Nahla with model Gabriel Aubrey ? a man that ignited Martinez?s now notorious temper during a brawl outside Berry?s home in 2012.
But far from being an isolated incident, Martinez?s angry streak became an ongoing issue in the couple?s relationship, and things finally came to a head when an irritated Martinez was caught on camera hitting an airport worker at LAX with Maceo?s carseat. After that, Berry reportedly gave him an ultimatum demanding that he seek counseling if he wanted to continue their marriage.
?Halle is telling pals she worries that Olivier?s runaway temper could put her kids at risk,? an insider revealed at the time.
Now, Berry and Martinez are living separately, with him staying in Malibu, and her staying in her Hollywood Hills home. They have not been seen together publicly since February. ?They?ve just been delaying the inevitable split,? the source confirmed.
[From Radar]
I believe the writing was on this particular wall from the start. Don?t get me wrong, I think Olivier probably does have a violent temper, but Halle knew that when she married him – it’s not like this is some new development. So? that?s going to be the story when they do split. This is the preview. Halle will paint herself as the victim of yet another violent and/or racist man and woe is Halle. And I think this has the potential to be an even bigger mess than Halle?s very much on-going crap with Gabriel Aubry. Olivier made sure he married Halle, which means he will probably have a much easier time convincing lawyers and judges that his custodial rights to Maceo should be confirmed. And when that happens? Halle is going to lose it.

Here is Halle Berry attending the 2nd Annual Unite4:humanity Event held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
She’s remarkable for her work over the past 14 years with South Los Angeles’ Jenesse Center, offering a safe place for families coping with domestic violence to heal.
“I’m here to tell you: I’m so proud of you, sister,” said Latifah, handing her the Creative Conscience award at Thursday’s Unite4:humanity gala.
