halle berry (15 posts)

Halle Berry is not pregnant. Just a little full.

The Oscar winner and flat tummy possessor sat down with Jay Leno last night, doing her bit to keep the buzzmeter high in the already slightly dipping 10 p.m. hour, denying right off the bat that she was expecting a second bundle of joy.

Ever the consummate gentleman host, Leno greeted Berry at the start of the interview by saying how great she looked, thereby providing the perfect opportunity for her to deny Life & Style's "exclusive" and "official" report from earlier this month claiming she and Gabriel Aubry were expecting baby No. 2.

"Thank you for that, Jay, because that must mean all these pregnancy rumors can be put to bed," she said. "I was getting a complex. I was like, I gotta stop with the burgers or something!"

That form-fitting dress would suggest otherwise.

People

Don't hate them because they're beautiful. Hate them because they're the most beautiful.

People has unveiled its annual ode to aesthetics, aka its 100 Most Beautiful People list, and, in addition to usual suspects Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Halle Berry and reigning Sexiest Man Alive Hugh Jackman, some of Hollywood's newest faces made the superficial cut.

The beautiful inside-and-out Christina Applegate scored the double issue's coveted cover for gracefully and publicly making it through her battle with breast cancer and subsequent double mastectomy, which she underplayed as a "rollercoaster of emotions…"

"A part of you is gone," she said. "It's a decision that you made to save your life."

Meanwhile, representing the younger contingent of annual eye candy is Slumdog Millionaire maybe-couple Freida Pinto and Dev Patel, Twilight's onscreen-only couple (sorry, fang-girls) Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, and at least two of the three Jonas Brothers.

Halle Berry can make everything from the age of 42 to a hot-pink cover explosion look good, something she attributes to her younger manfriend.

"I have a 33-year-old man. That'll keep you mojo mojo-in'," she tells May's Harper's Bazaar. That younger man is model Gabriel Aubry, the father of 1-year-old Nahla, but just because he keeps her mojo-in' doesn't mean they have to get married.

"I'm done. Also, I happened to find a person who feels done, too, and he's never even been married before. So it works."

But what about the babies? Will there be more?

No Payne, no gain for Halle Berry.

The Oscar-winning thesp is bringing a little extra sparkle to the story of a jewel thief, signing on to star in Who Is Doris Payne.

According to Variety, the heist flick will center the true-life tale of the international bauble bandit whose criminal acts spanned five decades.

No start date has yet been set for the flick.

Meanwhile, there's still no cure for the McPheever...

Jennifer Hudson's ascension to stardom has been honored pretty much every step of the way.

The Oscar winner was somewhat anachronistically named Outstanding New Artist Thursday at the 40th NAACP Image Awards, which honors achievements by people of color in film, television, music and literature—and which happened to this year be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the election of the United States' first black president.

Let's just say, it was quite the proud kudosfest.

"Now don't start me to crying again, y'all," a visibly touched Hudson, who won her first Image Award for acting two years ago, told the standing ovation-prone audience. "Oh my God, it always feels like home coming here. Thank you all so much for all of your amazing support."

Hudson, who came into the evening with a leading seven nominations, walked away with a leading three individual trophies, including Outstanding Album for her self-titled debut and Duo, Group or Collaboration for her duet with Fantasia on "I'm His Only Woman."

As we continue our daily predictions of what will become of our favorite young descendants of famous folks, we turn our focus today on Nahla Aubry.

Blessed with genes that rival, yes, even Brangelina, Nahla is already showing signs that she could very well end up being the most stunning woman ever to grace the planet.

And while it would certainly be easy for her to utilize such divine DNA by simply following in mommy and daddy’s footsteps, we believe she’s not gonna be that obvious.

In fact, we’ll go so far as to say that Nahla will probably shun this crazy Biz altogether, opting for brains over beauty, trading in her baby bottles for test tubes, becoming a world-renowned scientist and one day, hopefully, finding a cure for that most viral of diseases known as celebrity obsession.

Is that a wedding ring Halle Berry is wearing?

Because we're just saying, you know, we didn't get our invite to the ceremony. If there was one. Sure, we know she's been busy as a new mom, but she can still get in touch. We're around.

Of course, it could just be a friendship ring, right? She seems like she'd be a really good friend.

What do you think? Your guesses below.

Like most new moms, Halle Berry may not be able to take her eyes off her baby. But unlike the spawn of most celebs these days, her daughter is not for the world to see.

Some paparazzi shots that circulated earlier this week showing the Oscar winner carrying 4-month-old Nahla Ariela Aubry—the little one's media debut—apparently were not taken while the duo were "out and about," like many captions accompanying the photo claimed.

Rather, according to Berry's attorney, the pics, one of which shows a foliage-covered slope and a patio table in the background while others include glimpses of Berry's mother, were taken when the X-Men star was in her backyard, constituting a "very blatant and invasive trespass."

“The paparazzi have gone too far. [Gabriel] and I have always remained that we would never sell baby photos or otherwise exploit her in any way,” Berry said in a statement obtained by E! News.
