Somebody is gonna get hurt fooling around with Halle Berry and her child…

She’s absolutely fed up with the paparazzi, who has been hounding her ever since she gave birth to her daughter Nahla. Just recently, things began to get really bad for her after she started dating her new man, Oliviera Martinez, while going through a nasty child custody battle with her child’s father, Gabriel Aubrey.  The paparazzi literally stalk her home and her child’s school every day in hopes of a good moneyshot, and Halle has had enough!

Earlier this year, she asked the judge in her child custody case for permission to move to France where the paparazzi laws are stricter, however he denied her request because it would be harder for Gabriel to see his child. Last week, things came to a boiling point for Halle, and she went ape sh-t outside of her daughter’s school. She was caught on camera pointing, screaming and acting like a mad woman at the paparazzi while accusing them of stalking.  In a recent interview with Extra TV’s Mario Lopez she explained why she went off and says that she is about to call up the President real quick and see if he can help her out:

“I hate that I lost my cool, but you know, I’m human. That happens and when it comes to my daughter — I’m ferocious. There are no laws here that protect our children and as a mom, coming to the school… not only my child, but all the children that are there. It’s just wrong, wrong, wrong.”

“You know, I think I’m going to call Obama and say ‘look, can you help us?’ I know this seems like a little issue right now, but it’s a big issue in our lives and our lives at the school and our children being protected.”

What goes up inevitably must come down. It’s the law of gravity by Isaac Newton, but he may as well have been talking about the peaks and valleys of celebrity life. Stars are made and seemingly replaced by brighter ones almost overnight and one can’t help but wish for the originals to reclaim their place in the spotlight. So many rise and fall, but here are seven stars who need to shine even brighter once more.

Halle Berry

Her name and face have been all over the news for everything from her baby daddy drama, engagement to her questionable choice of lacefronts. Paula Patton seems to be Hollywood’s go to woman of color these days, but there’s still a place for Ms. Berry on the silver screen.  Some may still debate whether or not she deserved her Oscar for Monster’s Ball, but she is still the first African-American actress to have been awarded the Best Actress statue, and that’s not by accident. It’s past time that she fully redeem herself from Catwoman with a role worthy of her talents.

Halle Don’t Play That: Paparazzi Learn Not To Get Too Close To Nahla The Hard Way

Between wanting to move to France and potentially having to pay Gabriel Aubry up to $20,000 a month in child support, it would be safe to assume that now is not the time to be up in Halle Berry or her daughter Nahla’s face with a camera. Unfortunately for her, those circumstances bring the paparazzi running and when they showed up at Nahla’s LA school yesterday snapping pics, Halle went off—all the way off.

It’s a shame this wasn’t a TMZ situation so we could have some audio, but from the looks on Halle’s face and her body language, I think it’s clear her words were NSFW. Assistant by her side, Halle demanded that the cameramen leave the school premises, and though you might think the actress should be used to the stalking by now, a source close to her told E! that lately the photographers have gotten out of hand.

 ”It is inappropriate for these people to stalk a child’s school everyday. They pushed too far [today],” the source said. “Halle felt that her daughter was being threatened. Having words with someone who is stalking your family is not out of line.”

I’m hoping 4-year-old Nahla was still in a classroom somewhere oblivious to all that was popping off in the parking lot. I imagine seeing her mother like that could be a bit distressing but one thing we can probably bet is that the paparazzi won’t be popping up at her school again (or at least for another day or two).

From Eurweb.com

Lady Soul, Aretha Franklin, is letting it be known that she has picked what she calls a “strong contender” to play her in an upcoming biopic.

Yep, you read it here. The multiple GRAMMY® Award-winner is eyeing actress Audra McDonald, who was spotted my Franklin when she attended “Porgy and Bess” on Broadway. It was the Queen of Soul’s first time seeing McDonald in a play. She was very impressed with her performance and expressed an interest in her for the role.

Check out McDonald’s picture (if you don’t recognize her name) and find out why Franklin thinks she’s so qualified at Eurweb.com.

It’s no secret that black films thrived in the late eighties and early nineties. So it’s no surprise that Boomerang came along when it did. Released in 1992, the film started off as Eddie Murphy’s brainchild. The movie was a hit, becoming the 18th highest grossing film of the year. By now, you’ve probably seen the movie, but we bet you don’t know some of the behind the scenes secrets. Well don’t worry sweetness, we’re going to share the knowledge.

Pam Grier Wants to be Played by Halle Berry in Biopic

Remember when Aretha Franklin said she wanted Halle Berry to play her in a biopic? Well now another well-known star is looking for Ms. Berry to bring her story to life, but this time the idea is a little more realistic.

Pam Grier’s best-selling autobiography, “Foxy: My Life In Three Acts,” has been optioned for a big screen debut by Imprint Entertainment and Ms. Grier has reportedly said she’d like to see Halle Berry play her on screen if the project gets the go-ahead. Pam Grier’s blaxploitation character Foxy Brown has been an undying sex symbol for men of all races since the ’70s so it makes sense to tell the story of the woman behind the character on film. According to Shadow and Act, TV producer/screenwriter Eunetta Boone  has been hired to adapt the book into a screenplay, and Michael Becker of Imprint Entertainment says:

“’Foxy’ succeeds at a stark impression of Grier’s courage and inner strength without the use of rose-colored glasses. Imprint Entertainment looks forward to bringing this triumphant story to life.”

I can see Halle Berry doing the part justice—if she would even agree to play the role—but somehow I foresee Beyonce’s name getting thrown into the mix before all is said and done considering that stint as Foxy Cleopatra in the Austin Powers movie “Goldmember.”

Do you think Halle is a good choice to play Pam Grier or do you have another actress in mind for the part?

Halle Berry’s Boo Says Engagement Is True

Well, it seems that we could’ve just asked Olivier Martinez to confirm rumors of he and Halle’s engagement months ago. While promoting his new restaurant in South Beach Villa Azur, the French actor confirmed to reporters that he and Halle Berry were indeed engaged. His exact words were “Yes, of course it’s true.”

Berry was seen rocking an emerald engagement ring in January, although talk of an engagement were shot down in the media and was soon eclipsed by the ongoing news spectacle provided by the courtroom fights between Berry and her ex-boyfriend/baby daddy Gabriel Aubry.

Hopefully, Berry can settle things with her ex soon so she can plan her third stroll down the aisle. We can’t wait to see the on-screen chemistry between these two in the film “Dark Tide,” which brought these two together, and we certainly can’t wait to see if the third time will be the charm for Berry.

Is Eric Benet Throwing Shade? He Tells Mag He Likes His Women Sane

Source: Sweet Lyrics

I don’t know why magazine’s ask married men what they like in a woman. If they’re not on the market, who cares? And if they’ve got a suspect dating past that’s just asking for trouble. Case in point: Eric Benet.

Sister 2 Sister magazine caught up with the singer this month and he told publisher Jamie Foster Brown the quality he likes most in a woman: “emotional stability.” Plus he added this:

“Crazy is attractive, but you know … it’s dangerous.”

Now the former sex addict swore up and down he wasn’t talking about his ex-wife Halle Berry in the interview but I call BS. Why mention her if you weren’t thinking about her when you made the comment? I can’t think of one man who’s ever named “emotional stability” as one of the qualities he was looking for in a woman without taking shots at his “crazy” ex in the process, and that’s pretty much what Eric is doing here. Halle Berry has been crowned Queen of the Crazies when it comes to the public’s view of her failed relationships, so as far as we’re concerned, he’s not sneaking that shade past us. Eric went on to say:

“A lot of people may have, like, this unbelievably vindictive streak in them. Because somebody else isn’t really evolved, they may have done or said something that wasn’t so cool. A more emotionally evolved person would look at that and say, ‘Ok. You got some growing up to do. I’mma walk this way and keep moving in my positive direction.’ Someone who’s emotionally [un]stable will be like, ‘I’ll destroy you’ [laughter].”

Halle and Gabriel Aubry?

I don’t know what Eric or Sister 2 Sister‘s motive was with this one, but it reeks of shadiness to us. You can check out the full interview in the April issue, but what do you think of this snippet?

Is Eric throwing shots at Halle on the low?
