Halle Berry is everywhere! Check her out on the covers of Jet, Ebony and Harpers Bazaar magazines. Halle’s new movie Catwoman opens in theatres on Friday the 23rd. The movie also stars Sharon Stone and Benjamin Bratt. Halle is on a roll--- a hot new movie and a hot new romance with actor Michael Ealy. The 30 year old graduate from the University of Maryland is best known for his role as “Pretty Ricky” in the Barbershop movies. This is the first time he has dated an actress, and the fact that Halle is older does not bother him at all, because he likes older woman. Halle is 37. Halle and Michael will be starring in the new Oprah Winfrey television movie Their Eyes are Watching God. Last week Halle’s soon to be ex-husband singer Eric Benet sat down with ABC’s Primetime Thursday to talk about being married to Halle. Eric says he is not a sex addict. Yes, he cheated, but he did not have intercourse with the other women. Eric stated he made a stupid painful mistake. He says it was hard being “Mr. Halle Berry.” Eric is speaking up because he wants to clear his name. He is working on a new album that is due out in January. Eric says he and Halle were having problems in the bedroom and at one point during the interview he started to cry.

When asked about his battle with multiple sclerosis, she laughed and said her ex was a hypochondriac who still finds time to go the gym, mountain climb and chase women in nightclubs.

:rolleyes:

After all, turnabout is fair play, LOL.

I thought he was married to the Noxema girl??? I really need him to shave. :(

Re: Christina Milian
 

How come I thought that was Beyonce at first glance??

No, he was engaged to Rebecca Gayheart. He really got on my bad side after she was found guilty of vehicular homicide and he made comments that I felt were insensitive.

I am sorry. I love Serena's athleticism but in photos she looks absolutely CRAZY!!! Her clothes always appear to be too small (this one's not that bad) and her hair always looks bad (a shade or eight too light for her complexion). Dang Re-Re.

Re: Sean Combs and Kim Porter in St. Tropez
 

I can't see these. :(

Rebecca Gayheart was the Noxema girl,lol.
