    Zoe Saldana: How She Got Into Sexy Shape Following the Birth of Twins

    Zoe Saldana gave birth to twin sons Cy and Bowie 14 months ago, but to look at her today, one would never believe she’d been pregnant.

    The Guardians of the Galaxy star is quick to give credit where credit is due, however. She kept fans apprised via social media of the workouts she did at the hands of her personal trainer.

    “All it takes is determination! Mommies we can all do it, damn it!!!” Zoe Saldana said earlier this summer.

    Not every new mom has access to a personal trainer, though, and it sounds like that may have been key to Zoe Saldana’s amazing appearance.

    In Saldana’s case that celebrity trainer was Ramona Braganza. Beginning nine months after giving birth, the actress began working hard.

    “Our workouts were to not only get her looking strong but feeling fit again,” Braganza, who also works with celebrities including Jessica Alba and Halle Berry, said in a recent interview with People magazine.

    Zoe Saldana weighed 185 pounds at her highest pregnancy weight, so Braganza worked up a routine with plenty of cardio, which wasn’t easy as the actress hates the treadmill.

    “Zoë is not a big fan of the treadmill so for cardio, I focused on dance-based moves and boxing moves to get her heart rate up, kicks, leg lifts, plyometric combinations, and had her doing interval training if we did get on the cardio equipment,” the trainer says.

    “Building back her stamina was key, as was strengthening her core,” Braganza adds. “Our focus there was Pilates-based exercises including 100s [lying back with legs and shoulders off the ground, while pumping the arms up and down slightly for 100 reps], bicycles, leg lifts and exercises such as Spyder on the Bosu ball.”

    Zoe Saldana mixed up her workouts with outdoor exercise, including hikes. By December, she was able to fit back into her pre-pregnancy Guardians of the Galaxy jumpsuit.

    “Holy S—! You guys, I had to share this, this is one of the old #guardiansofthegalaxy costumes that I wore back in 2013,” she captioned her Instagram post. “After twins I can’t believe I was able to slip into this.”

    “It pays off to work hard! I mean it mommies of the world, if I did it you can too,” Zoe Saldana added at the end of her Instagram post.

    Do you think the average “mommies of the world” are a bit incited by this kind of encouragement? Without the money to pay a high-profile trainer–and probably a nanny, too–not everyone can work out the way Zoe Saldana did.

  • Halle Berry: Is She Dating Rapper Chris Webby Amidst Divorce Proceedings?

    Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are in the midst of some messy divorce proceedings, but it sounds like that isn’t stopping the actress from having plenty of fun. It is rumored Halle Berry is dating rapper Chris Webby–a man 22 years her junior.

    “Halle’s having a lot of fun with Chris,” a source tells OK! magazine. “She has a weakness for bad boys who are a little rough around the edges. He brings out her youthful side.”

    HipHopWired.com reached out to both Halle Berry and Chris Webby for confirmation or comment, but neither has replied.

    It was at the end of October that Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez announced they were ending their marriage after just two years.

    “It is with a heavy heart that we have come to [this] decision,” they said in a joint statement. “We move forward with love and respect for one another.”

    Martinez was Halle Berry’s third husband and second baby daddy, and based on the aggressive divorce lawyers she hired in the past, it was immediately expected that very little “love and respect” would exist in the divorce proceedings.

    People have long wondered what it is about Halle Berry that causes her relationships to become so volatile.

    Shortly after the divorce announcement, a friend of Berry’s spoke with the New York Post.

    “She has always looked for ‘alpha males,’ but after this divorce, she’s going to need a long period of self-reflection before she hooks up with anyone else,” the friend said.

    Is Chris Webby an alpha male? If the rumor of Halle Berry dating him is true, where will this relationship wind up?

    Of course it could be just a rebound fling. Halle Berry is a cougar now. She is likely wanting to see what a younger man has to offer.

  • Halle Berry: Might Ben Affleck Be Her Next Romance Disaster?

    Halle Berry doesn’t have much luck at love, and the general consensus is she is very difficult to live with. A rumor is running rampant about newly single Ben Affleck, who split from wife Jennifer Garner this summer. Some believe he might be Halle Berry’s next romance disaster.

    A source tells OK! magazine Ben Affleck has had “the hots for Halle Berry” for 15 years.

    “Ben has had an epic crush on Halle ever since he saw that sex scene in Swordfish,” back in 2001, the source says.

    Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez announced their split in October. Since Halle and Ben apparently don’t run in the same Hollywood circles, he’ll need to be a bit creative to make his move without looking incredibly obvious. It seems he already has a plan.

    “He’s now trying to find a role for her in one of his next movies by way of getting to know her, but his friends just wish he’d take her out on a date and get her out of his system, rather than spend four months wooing her on a movie set,” the source explains.

    Do you suppose there is more to this than speculation? Do you think Ben Affleck and Halle Berry would be a good fit?

    It doesn’t seem likely. Halle Berry seems to go for more unusual men, and while Ben Affleck is handsome and talented, he’s more of a family guy who cheats on his wife with the nanny instead.

  • Halle Berry, Olivier Martinez Together Just Days After Filing for Divorce, He Wears Wedding Ring

    Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez filed for divorce less than two weeks ago. The two were spotted together on Saturday, however, and he was wearing his wedding ring.

    This isn’t the first time Halle Berry’s soon-to-be ex was spotted wearing his ring either. Two days after she filed for divorce, he had the ring on.

    E! News reports that the former couple has been separated for several months, but only recently filed for divorce.

    Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are the parents of two-year-old son Maceo. She has a daughter, Nahla, from her previous relationship with model Gabriel Aubry.

    On Tuesday, Halle Berry was spotted at the Spectre: The Black Women of Bond Tribute. She had replaced her wedding band with another ring.

    Do you expect Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are rethinking their plans to divorce? Or is he simply not willing to admit the marriage is, in fact, over–and is wearing the ring until the divorce is final?

    People magazine reports that Martinez is just glad he and Halle Berry can get along for the sake of the kids.

    Olivier Martinez is “very happy that he and Halle are able to keep a good relationship. They want to make the divorce as painless as possible for the kids,” a source tells them.

    Martinez has a lengthy history of violence and has had physical altercations with Gabriel Aubry.

    It will apparently remain a mystery as to why Olivier Martinez is still wearing his wedding ring.

    As for Halle Berry, she seems ready and willing to go it alone.

  • Halle Berry, Olivier Martinez File for Divorce, Aliases Used in Court Papers

    Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are getting a divorce after spending just two years in what most deem a tumultuous marriage. The Extant actress and her ex-to-be even used aliases on court papers. It’s a bit uncertain why they went that route, as they announced their split publicly just a day later.

    Filing for divorce on Monday, Halle Berry used the names “Hal Maria and Oliver Martin” to end her marriage, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason behind the split. The two share a son. The divorce papers didn’t note Berry as seeking primary custody of the child, but instead read she sought what is in “the best interests of the child,” the L.A. Times reports.

    “It is with a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce,” Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez said via a joint statement to People magazine on Tuesday.

    “We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus of what is best for our son. We wish each other nothing but happiness in life and we hope that you respect our and, most importantly, our children’s privacy as we go through this difficult period.”

    This marks the third divorce for Halle Berry. She was previously married to David Justice–a baseball player–and to musician Eric Benet. She and French model Gabriel Aubry share custody of their daughter Nahla. Berry and Aubry never married.

    Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez announced their engagement back in March of 2012 and married in July of 2013, just a few months after announcing she was pregnant. The wedding took place in France.

    Source list a number of reasons for the split. One reports that Halle Berry was incensed over Olivier Martinez being named in a recent lawsuit for hitting an LAX employee with their son’s carseat in January. This isn’t the first physical altercation Martinez has been involved in either. He has had several fights with Gabriel Aubry.

    If Olivier Martinez is a violent man, Halle Berry may have finally thrown in the towel in order to distance herself from the anger than undoubtedly consumes him. People who react physically to unpleasant situations are often harboring a great deal of anger and rage.

    Are you surprised to learn of Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez’s impending divorce–or did you see this one coming from miles away?

  • Halle Berry Not Returning as Molly Woods, “Extant” Cancelled

    Halle Berry won’t be returning to her role as Molly Woods, as her summer drama series Extant was cancelled by the network.

    “CBS, Halle Berry and the producers have decided to conclude the Extant story after last season’s exciting and fitting conclusion,” Glenn Geller, president of CBS Entertainment, said. “Extant played an important role in expanding CBS’s lineup of original scripted programming in the summer. We are proud of the show’s success on the network, as well as its popularity on Amazon Prime Video. We also want to thank the incomparable Halle Berry for her commitment and support for the series, and look forward to working with her on our next project together.”

    Extant’s second series ended last month. The show was based on astronaut Molly Woods (played by Halle Berry) who was pregnant when she returned home to her family after 13 months on a solo mission in outer space.

    In season two, Extant became more of a drama than a sci-fi thriller. Some believe that’s why ratings didn’t support a third season of the show. Cast changes resulted in only three of the original seven actors remaining on board for the second season.

    Halle Berry issued a statement about the cancellation of Extant.

    “I am so proud of what we accomplished on Extant,” she said. “This season seemed such a natural place to end Molly’s journey that I, along with CBS, felt it best served the story to leave it there. I’ve loved this experience working with such a talented cast and creative team. ‎It was my first foray into episodic television, and I’m excited to continue my relationship with CBS, producing more compelling stories through my 606 Films production banner.”

    Were you a fan of Extant? Are you surprised to see it end, or did you anticipate–based on the season two wrap up–that it might not return for a third season?

  • Jennifer Garner Attends First Celebrity Even Since Ben Affleck Split, Hangs With Gwyneth Paltrow, Halle Berry

    Jennifer Garner stepped out on Friday to attend the the “Think It Up” telecast, which is aimed at improving education in the U.S. This is the first celebrity event she has attended since her split from Ben Affleck.

    Hanging out with a sizable list of celebrities made the event even more fun. Jennifer Garner joined Justin Bieber, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kacey Musgraves, Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Seth Meyers, Terry Crews, and Julie Chen in Santa Monica for the inaugural telecast.

    “Think It Up” is intended to inspire middle school and high school students to pursue their passions, with the organization possibly helping out with some crowdfunding.

    Jennifer Garner posed for pictures with Justin Bieber, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jessica Biel.

    She hung out with everyone involved–in the green room–before the show went live.

    Aside from wrapping filming of Miracles from Heaven in Atlanta, Jennifer Garner hasn’t been seen doing anything work-related this summer. She and Ben Affleck have been spotted with their three children–Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel–several times, both solo and together. Neither Ben Affleck nor Jennifer Garner is wearing a wedding ring.

    Kudos to Jennifer Garner and the rest of the celebrities involved in “Think It Up.” Anything to encourage education growth and awareness in the country is a huge benefit to the children who participate and to the nation’s future.

    These celebrities set a great example that will hopefully encourage others to follow in their footsteps.

  • Halle Berry: Is She Getting A Divorce? Missing Engagement Ring Explained

    Halle Berry is not divorcing Olivier Martinez, sources say.

    The rumors about the two divorcing soon came out after Halle Berry lost her engagement ring. French actor, Olivier Martinez, gave her the emerald ring in March 2012 during his proposal.

    According to a report by TMZ, Berry apparently lost the precious ring in Mexico. The 48-year-old actress attended the Acapulco International Film Festival last year. She believes the engagement ring might have slipped off her finger or someone may have taken it.

    The couple have not replaced the ring as of yet because they have been busy these past few months. Berry spent two years working on the TV series Extant. She admitted,  ‘It was tough last year. I sort of got my sea legs, as they say. I was nursing my two-month old baby when I started,” she wrote in an article for Deadline. “The hours were brutal. I just was like a deer in the headlights. This year I was much more prepared.”

    Olivier, on the other hand, has been busy with TV shows Revenge and Texas Rising.

    Aside from their careers, they have a family to look after. Their son, Maceo is almost 2 years year old and Nahla, Berry’s daughter with her ex-husband Gabriel Aubry, is now six.

    Despite denying the rumors, one report by RadarOnline.com stated that a divorce is about to happen soon.

    Berry’s husband, Martinez, allegedly had violent disputes with several people during the course their relationship. As such, the actress suggested that Martinez seek counseling in order to save the marriage. The powerhouse couple was reported to be living separately; Martinez is now in Malibu while Berry spends her time in the Hollywood Hills.

    There seems to be more the story but Berry and Martinez are still publicly claiming that their marriage is solid.

  • Halle Berry, Olivier Martinez Not Divorcing

    Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez aren’t getting a divorce. Recent rumors had the couple splitting up because the Extant actress was spotted sans her wedding ring.

    Halle Berry believes she lost the ring when she and Olivier Martinez were at the Acapulco International Film Festival in Mexico back in January of 2014. She and her husband have yet to replace the ring because it’s simply not a priority in their extremely busy lives.

    Fans are likely pleased to know that Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez aren’t joining the growing list of celebrity couples who are throwing in the towels on their marriages. Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert recently announced they’re already divorced. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have separated.

    In other Halle Berry News, the pretty and talented actress recently shared some of the healthful eating tips that help her maintain her sexy, svelte physique.

    As a diabetic, Berry is mindful of the fact that her children could one day be diagnosed with the disease as well, and so she has made some very constructive changes to her eating regimen.

    “When I found out, I was like, ‘Oh my God, I have a disease.’ I was terrified. But I’m healthier since the diagnosis, and I think it has made me a better mom, because I’m so aware of how much sugar we consume. I’ve very conscious of what my children eat and how much they take in. People think it’s hard to cut out sugar, but it can be done. You just have to put some effort in,” she said in a recent interview.

    Halle Berry seems to have quite a solid handle on all the many facets of her life. Fortunately her marriage falls in that category, too. She has had enough problems fighting ex Gabriel Aubrey over issues like custody and child support. She doesn’t need marital problems, too.

  • Halle Berry Talks Lost Ring, Divorce Rumors and Her Figure-Friendly Diet

    When Halle Berry lost her wedding ring while accepting the Silver Jaguar Award at the Acapulco International Film Festival in 2014, the rumor mill kicked up big time with reports that the Extant actress was divorcing husband Olivier Martinez.

    Those rumors are absolutely false, says Halle Berry.

    Berry still doesn’t know what happened to the ring, and the couple simply decided not to buy a new engagement ring after it either slipped off her finger or she accidentally left it somewhere. Her wedding band remains securely on her left hand and her marriage remains strong.

    Another Halle Berry strength is her rock hard body at the age of (almost) 48. The actress admits that it’s not always easy to stay healthy with two young children, Maceo, 22 months, and Lahlia, who is seven, and a successful career.

    “It is a whole lot of work. I mean, I’ve never worked so hard in my life. I was nursing, my baby was just three months old when we started, so I was doing drive-by nursings every two hours,” Berry told The Daily Mail.

    Halle maintains her enviable figure by following a sugar-free, low-carb diet and working out regularly.

    As a diabetic, Halle Berry is especially careful about monitoring her food intake.

    “Because I’m diabetic, I totally changed my diet and workout regimen a few years ago. I don’t eat fried foods or refined sugar — only natural sugar in fruit and vegetables. And I don’t eat carbs a lot,” she said.

    Halle also believes that avoiding sugar helps with staying young.

    “I avoid sugar and that helps with anti-aging. I use Xylitol as a sugar substitute and give it to my daughter. I strongly believe in talking about nutrition at an early age and setting a good example.”

    As for her workout routine, Halle Berry consults with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak and follows his 5-Factor Fitness program that emphasizes a combination of cardio with core work and strength training.

  • Halle Berry Getting A Divorce While Fighting Child Support?

    Halle Berry has been duking it out in court with her ex, Gabriel Aubrey, over what she considers exorbitant child support payments. If new insider reports are to be believed, she may be headed for a divorce from her current husband, Olivier Martinez.

    Radar Online published pics of Halle Berry out and about without her wedding ring, leading to speculation that she and Martinez are divorcing. They even found a “family friend” to tell them so.

    “It seems Halle and Olivier have finally hit the end of the road,” the friend said. “They’ve weathered a lot of ups and downs in their relationship – but recently, Olivier has been completely MIA! They’ve just been delaying the inevitable split.”

    There have been reports in the past that Halle Berry was concerned about Martinez’s temper after a couple of public incidents. One was when Martinez and Aubrey fought in 2012. Another was Martinez was caught on camera hitting an airport employee who was in his personal space, trying to snap a cell phone pic.

    “Halle is telling pals she worries that Olivier’s runaway temper could put her kids at risk,” an insider revealed at the time.

    Halle Berry has had her own battles with Aubrey in the past year. One was when she took him to court over coloring and straightening their daughter’s hair, a move Berry said was racially-motivated.

    Berry and Aubry were together from 2005-2010, during which time they had their daughter, Nahla. They share custody of Nahla. But Berry was ordered to pay $200,000 per year plus tuition money to Aubry. That’s about $16,000 per month. Now she wants to have that amount reduced to about $3000 per month.

    “There is no case, no law, no logic that says a healthy, active man gets to simply live off child support that the wealthier mother earns,” Berry’s court filing said.

    Halle Berry thinks her ex should get a job and stop living off the child support she pays.

    “He is using the money to avoid work,” Berry argued.

  • Halle Berry Says Deadbeat Ex Living Off Child Support, Wants It Reduced

    Halle Berry may seem to live a charmed life, but it sounds like she has some of the same kinds of problems as anyone else, just with more zeroes added after the dollar sign.

    Halle Berry went before a judge recently to ask to have her child support payments reduced. Ordinarily, that kind of news about someone would make them sound like a deadbeat. But Berry says it’s the other way around.

    Halle Berry and ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry were together from 2005-2010, during which time they had their daughter, Nahla. They share custody of Nahla. But Berry was ordered to pay $200,000 per year plus tuition money to Aubry. That’s about $16,000 per month. Now she wants to have that amount reduced to about $3000 per month.

    “There is no case, no law, no logic that says a healthy, active man gets to simply live off child support that the wealthier mother earns,” Halle Berry’s court filing said.

    Halle Berry thinks her ex should get a job and stop living off the child support she pays.

    “He is using the money to avoid work,” Berry argued.

    Halle Berry and Aubry have had a lot of difficulty since their split. Last year she took him to court to get a judge to make him stop coloring their daughter’s hair.

    Berry, who is herself half Caucasian and half African-American, claimed that this was an attempt to obscure Nahla’s African-American heritage.

    Berry said that Aubry had caused Nahla “potential psychological and physical damage,” and could cause her to wonder “why her natural appearance is not good enough.”

    She also has charged Aubry with using racial epithets around their daughter.

    Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mark Juhas had said of Aubry’s racist remarks:

    “The racial epithet made by Petitioner [Aubry] was and is completely and totally unacceptable. Nahla is a child of both of these parents, making this sort of comment about Respondent [Berry] affect the very core and being of Nahla. And when Petitioner attacked Respondent for what she is and who she is, he was attacking Nahla because Nahla is part Respondent. And Nahla is part Petitioner. So when Petitioner did those things, that does serious damage to Nahla because he is attacking her core being, who she is.”

  • Halle Berry Says Ex Is A Freeloader, Wants Her Child Support Payments Reduced

    Halle Berry sat at the other end of the courtroom as she prepared to battle with ex-boyfriend Gabiel Aubry over child support payments.

    The Extant actress’ child support trial against the 38-year-old Canadian model began after she filed court documents late last year requesting to reduce the amount of money she is required to pay Aubry to help care for their daughter, Nahla.

    The 48-year-old actress filed for the judge to reduce her child support payments from $16,000 per month to around $3,000 per month. In May of last year, the judge ordered Berry to pay Aubry almost $200,000 per year plus tuition money to support their daughter.

    The former couple split in 2010 after 4 years of being together. They both share joint-custody of their seven-year-old.

    According to gossip website TMZ.com, the X-Men star has no issue with paying for Aubry to look after Nahla when he has physical custody.

    On the other hand, she believes “he is using the money to avoid work” and that the model “needs to get a job.”

    According to the document the actress and her lawyer filed in court last November, Berry said, “There is no case, no law, no logic that says a healthy, active man gets to simply live off child support that the wealthier mother earns.”

    Berry also accused Aubry for spending most of the money for his own needs, which included $700 on fitness, $1,000 on clothing and nearly $2,000 on car expenses amongst others.

    The model claims that he has struggled to find work since Berry’s current husband, French actor Olivier Martinez, beat him up back in 2012. Berry and Martinez also have a 21-month-old son together named Maceo.

    Halle Berry is set to star in the thriller film Kidnap which will premiere on October 9. She will play the role of a mother determined to find her kidnapped son. The film is directed by Luis Prieto.

  • ‘The Good Wife’ Signs Actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan as New Investigator

    The Good Wife will have a new investigator when the show returns for its seventh season this fall. Jeffrey Dean Morgan has signed on as a regular on the series, playing Alicia Florrick’s (played by Julianna Margulies) latest hire.

    Alicia may have hired Alex, who CBS describes as “a calm, experienced hourly investigator,” but no one has yet divulged whether he will work for the new firm Michael J. Fox’s character proposed at the end of season six–or for Lockhart Argos.

    The Good Wife executive producers Robert and Michelle King issued a press release about the new character.

    “We’ve loved and admired Jeffrey Dean Morgan for years, and we were thrilled to hear that Julianna did too, so it was a no-brainer to ask him to join our troupe,” they wrote.

    When Jeffrey Dean Morgan arrives on The Good Wife, viewers might think he looks a bit familiar. That’s because he currently stars alongside Halle Berry in Extant, and he also appeared in Texas Rising–a recent miniseries.

    Us Weekly speculates that Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s new character might be The Good Wife’s new Kalinda.

    Fans will simply have to tune in for themselves to see if he plays a similar role.

    Are you a fan of The Good Wife? Will you be checking out Jeffrey Dean Morgan in his new role starting this fall?

  • Lena Dunham: Malia Obama Works On Set of ‘Girls,’ May Have Helped President’s Daughter Get Internship

    Lena Dunham may have been instrumental in helping Malia Obama get her summer job. Of course the fact that she’s the president’s daughter didn’t hurt either.

    It seems Malia is a big fan of Lena Dunham, and when the Girls actress visited the White House a while back, the first daughter admitted as much to Dunham.

    “She’s a fan, and she mentioned that to Lena [Dunham] when she came to the White House,” a source close to the production said in a recent interview with Us Weekly. “I’m not sure how long she’ll be interning for. It’s a bit of a trial thing for her. They’ve known each other and discussed for a while. Lena and her get along great.”

    So far Malia Obama has delivered coffee to Lena Dunham and her cast mates and crew, and has helped keep fans away from the Girls set.

    Working for Lena Dunham isn’t Malia Obama’s first celebrity encounter, however. Last summer she interned for Halle Berry on the set of Extant.

    At the end of this summer, Malia will return to her final year at the private Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C. A year from this fall she will head to college.

    She will no doubt impress her new friends–as well as those she’ll spend her senior year with–when she dishes on what it was like working all summer in such close proximity to Lena Dunham.

    But then again, she’s Malia Obama. People are probably already a bit in awe of her for being President Obama’s daughter.

    Do you suppose she might shower her BFFs with merchandise or souvenirs signed by Lena Dunham at the end of her summer internship?

  • Halle Berry: No Boobs Touching Knees for ‘Extant’ Actress

    Halle Berry is drop dead gorgeous. There’s no question about that. Now she’s sharing one vital piece of information about how she’s stayed that way–with regard to one of her major assets.

    The Extant star has just released her own line of lingerie in Target stores, and she says there’s a reason behind her passion for good quality undergarments.

    “It is because I wear these things all the time, if you don’t want your boobs on your knees, it’s very important,” she said during an interview with Extra.

    “It’s something I’ve always loved, I mean I have worn a bra and slept in a bra, probably TMI, since I was 16 years old,” she added. “My mother taught me the importance of that and taking care of my body on that end, so lingerie and undergarments have been really important to me.”

    Halle Berry partnered with Scandale Paris lingerie to create her one-of-a-kind collection of pieces that are sexy, pretty, functional, and affordable.

    Presently working on the second season of her hit CBS series Extant, Halle Berry will soon be back on TV for another summer run.

    Between her lingerie line, TV, and family–which includes daughter Nahla, who is seven and from her relationship with Gabriel Aubry, and son Maceo, who is 18 months old and from her marriage to actor Olivier Martinez–she is one busy lady.

    Nahla is quite likely to grow up to be as beautiful as her mom.

    “She’s into dress up, hair and make-up, fashion shows, she’s a girl, girl, girl, you will not find her in a tree, she’s in the salon with me playing with my makeup and just trying to be all things girly girl,” Halle Berry says.

    She adds that Nahla is very protective of her little brother, and expects she will give the young ladies a hard time down the road, when they line up to date him.

    “Nahla will not be having it, she’s so protective of him.” Halle joked, “She’s all but said, ‘Girls look out, gotta go by me!’”

    There’s certainly lots of responsibility weighing Halle Berry down, but she appears to take it all in stride. Two things that won’t be weighed down, however, are those boobs. They’ll likely be supported even better than before, thanks to her new lingerie line.

  • Halle Berry Talks About Her Boobs [Pic]

    Halle Berry Talks About Her Boobs [Pic]

    Halle Berry takes really good care of her boobs.

    When Halle Berry talked to Extra about the launch of her new line of lingerie in partnership with Scandale Paris, she revealed that she has a piece of her beauty regimen that most women are not willing to keep up with.

    “It’s something I’ve always loved, I mean I have worn a bra and slept in a bra, probably TMI, since I was 16 years old. My mother taught me the importance of that and taking care of my body on that end, so lingerie and undergarments have been really important to me.”

    Well, they say that you should work in and invest in things that you know about personally. So, Halle Berry gets to do bras.

    “It is because I wear these things all the time,” she said. “If you don’t want your boobs on your knees, it’s very important.”

    Halle Berry also talked about the fact that her show, Extant, is heading into its second season on television. In this time of tons of show cancellations, that makes her pretty happy.

    “Not everybody is that fortunate, so there’s a play place for my kids to come, and Nahla loves to come drive around on the Paramount golf cart, that’s the place she really gets to drive.”

    She also spoke about her efforts to put a stop to paparazzi harassment of her and her daughter. She had wanted to move her daughter Nahla out of the country, but was forbidden to do so due to a custody agreement with the girl’s father.

    But she and Jennifer Garner worked to pass an anti-paparazzi law that has giver her some relief when she is out with her daughter.

    “You don’t see us anymore, you look on the internet you don’t see me going to the market anymore, pumping gas, walking my kids to the park, going to school, it has revolutionized our lives, changed our world, and most importantly my kids — they’re free to go out now, they’re not harassed.”

  • Halle Berry Opens Up About Terrifying Domestic Violence

    Halle Berry seems like a woman who isn’t afraid of much; in 2013 she helped get a bill passed that would ensure the safety of celebrities and their children from paparazzi, and last year she took on a much-talked about television role–while pregnant herself–about an astronaut who heads into space only to come home pregnant. But recently the actress opened up about the fear she felt as a child living in an abusive home, and said that’s why she felt compelled to work with the Jenesse Center–a domestic violence intervention center–in Los Angeles.

    “I’m a victim of domestic violence. I wasn’t married to a man that beat me up, but my mother was. Knowing that she wanted nothing more then for her little girls to see her be empowered and be a woman of strength, but having no way to make that happen was heartbreaking for me,” Berry said.

    Berry shared some of the horrific moments she watched her mother endure, such as being kicked down the stairs and hit on the head with a bottle, and said she knew her mom stayed too long in the relationship. For Berry and her sister, having to witness the abuse was life-altering.

    “The reason I say this organization is my heart and soul is because I understand the good that it does and the lives that it changes and the impact it has on women and the children in our community,” Berry said.

    Berry says that becoming a mother herself changed her in a lot of ways, and that being pregnant when she took on a new project with Extant actually helped her.

    “I’m the happiest in my life when I have been pregnant, truly. So to be pregnant again on a show right after giving birth didn’t scare me at all. I thought, ‘I’m going to ace that part of this, for sure!’ ” Halle Berry said.

  • Halle Berry Launches Line of French Lingerie

    Halle Berry has long been the epitome of sexy, and now she’s found a way to help all women feel that way. The actress has launched her own line of what she considers affordable French lingerie.

    “I came across this really luxurious lingerie line called Scandale Paris. Only sort of marketed towards the upscale, so not every woman could afford this brand. So I thought, how could I revive this and bring it to America at a price point that every woman could enjoy?” she said during a recent interview with Good Morning America.

    That said, Halle Berry decided to buy into the company. The first few pieces from her line are available in Target stores. Pieces reportedly run between $7 and $18. That really is very affordable when it comes to French lingerie–not to mention how easily accessible it is by its availability at Target. Women will likely be buying out these pieces, in their attempts to dream of being as sexy as Halle Berry.

    “Every woman that cares about feeling good from the inside out,” Berry said. “We care about what we have on under our clothes, we care about what we look like when we take our clothes off.”

    And Halle Berry is also big on dispelling the myth that women only wear sexy lingerie for men.

    “The secret is that women don’t wear lingerie for men. We wear it for ourselves,” she insists.

    What a perfect time for Halle Berry to launch this French lingerie line. After all, Valentine’s Day is this coming Saturday. So ladies–drop a hint that this lingerie would make a wonderful gift. Or, in Halle Berry fashion, simply go out and buy some for yourself.

    Do you suppose Halle Berry lets hubby Olivier Martinez critique her new lingerie line? She seems like the kind of woman who probably wouldn’t care if he liked it or not, and would rely far more heavily instead upon her own opinion instead.

  • Halle Berry Issues Olivier Martinez Ultimatum, Will She Leave Him?

    Halle Berry has reportedly issued husband Olivier Martinez an ultimatum in light of his recent aggressive outburst at LAX, when he knocked an airport employee down with their child’s carseat. A source claims Berry told her husband if he doesn’t get help for his temper, she will leave him.

    “The incident embarrassed her,” the source told RadarOnline. “Halle is telling friends she worries that Olivier’s runaway temper could put her kids at risk.”

    As anyone who has followed Halle Berry throughout the past few years knows, this isn’t the first time the public has gotten a look at Olivier Martinez’s temper. Back on Thanksgiving Day 2012, he reportedly attacked her daughter Nahla’s father, Gabriel Aubry, following an argument about moving the family to France. Aubry suffered a broken rib and some facial lacerations as a result of the attack.

    “Halle sort of understood two men getting riled up over a woman, but the situation at the airport frightened her,” another source shared. “He really hates that Gabriel is keeping them in L.A. He’s at the boiling point, and it’s threatening their relationship!”

    Halle Berry shouldn’t have tolerated the physical altercation between Olivier Martinez and Gabriel Aubry in 2012, and she shouldn’t tolerate Gabriel Aubry’s recent outbursts either. Grown men shouldn’t turn violent to solve problems. Olivier’s public behavior leaves those on the outside wondering if Halle Berry and her children are safe. How does this man behave behind closed doors if so easily provoked in public?

    TMZ shared the following clip of the LAX incident.

    What’s your take on this guy’s behavior? Is he someone who is pushed to the brink by the paparazzi or just a hot head who needs to get a grip?

    Hopefully Halle Berry can convince Gabriel Aubry to get help for his anger issues. Should she consider leaving him if he doesn’t comply?

  • Gabriel Aubry and Halle Berry Continue Fight Over Daughter’s Hair

    Halle Berry and ex-husband Gabriel Aubry are still locked into what may be one of the silliest-sounding fights ever, at least on the surface.

    Berry took Aubry to court recently, claiming that he is trying to make their daughter white.

    Berry and Gabriel Aubry were together from 2005-2010, during which time they had their daughter, Nahla, who is now six years old. They share custody of Nahla. But Berry has a problem with what Aubry does when Nahla comes to visit him.

    One of the issues Berry brought up against Aubry was that he was straightening and lightening Nahla’s dark, naturally curly hair. Berry claimed that this was an attempt to obscure Nahla’s African-American heritage.

    Berry said that Aubry had caused Nahla “potential psychological and physical damage,” and could cause her to wonder “why her natural appearance is not good enough.”

    Berry herself is half Caucasian and half African-American. But she also said that Aubry used racial epithets to refer to her (Berry). This was her proof that Aubry is a racist and doesn’t want a black daughter.

    The judge told both Berry and Aubry to stop coloring Nahla’s hair.

    According to TMZ, Aubry claims he never did anything to Nahla’s hair. But Halle Berry says she has sent hair samples to a lab and has proof that he did.

    The pair have been engaged in a long-running custody fight over Nahla, including whether or not she can move with Berry out of the country. Berry wanted to move to France with current husband, French actor Oliver Martinez. Berry and Martinez have a son together, and Berry wanted to take Nahla to France with her.

    Berry told InStyle Magazine that she wanted to take Nahla to France so they could have privacy.

    “I don’t want her to grow up around the tabloids,” Berry said. “Because we are followed all the time, she is starting to feel like she is somehow special, and of course she is, but I want her to understand that she’s special because of who she is, not because she was born into this celebrity blender.”
