Wow, I can’t believe how great Halle looks. Not to say it is unusual, she’s always been incredible, it’s just such a huge accomplishment to have a child at her age and bounce back to being so trim and sexy. I’ve been watching Kendra’s show lately and I see how hard it is for her to get her pre-baby body back, she’s been rockin’ that belly for months and Halle is probably 15-20 years older than Kendra… Then again, Halle has had 2 years to lose her baby belly. I am sure Kendra will be back to her old self sooner than later.

It sounds like such a miserable situation, but we have to give them credit for going to the lengths that they have for the sake of their kid!

Halle Berry and her ex, Gabriel Aubry, seem to doing everything they can to put aside how much they effing hate each other right now so they can both be parents to their adorable daughter Nahla - so much so that Gabriel is willing to live with Halle on location in South Africa while she films a new project so he can spend time with his daughter!

A source reveals:

“It’s been pretty difficult for Gabriel to see Nahla the last few weeks. He’s really getting sick of it and it’s getting to the point where he is seriously considering his options regarding pursuing permanent custody. He refuses to give up rights to his daughter, he loves her more than anything and is determined to be a regular, full time fixture in her life. The latest issue is that Halle is due to move to South Africa during July, August and September to work on a movie and she wants to take Nahla with her full time. That would mean Gabriel not seeing his daughter for three whole months and there’s no way he’s going to allow that. Gabriel requested that he be allowed to keep Nahla with him in Los Angeles but Halle wouldn’t let that happen, so the two reached a total stalemate and it started getting nasty, with both of them looking into entering a legal battle. In the end they reached an agreement. Basically Halle is going to pay Gabriel to be a kind of full time nanny and to come to South Africa for the three months she’s there, and to be Nahla’s full-time caregiver.Halle has a huge house that’s being rented for her and she and Gabriel are going to try to live under the same roof and get along for the sake of Nahla. Heaven only knows how that’s going to work out, as they haven’t been on the best of terms lately, but they do both love their daughter so maybe they can make it work. Halle has got a contingency plan though. If it doesn’t work out with them both living in the same property, she has agreed to rent a house for Gabriel near where she will be staying, and then he gets to look after Nahla all day while she’s working, and return to his place at night. It’s certainly not a conventional solution, but who knows, maybe it will work for them. One thing is for certain though – this definitely is not any kind of attempt at reconciliation. It is definitely 100% over between these two, and if it wasn’t for the fact of sharing a child together they would quite happily never see each other again. As it is they are stuck with each other, and I guess all they can do is try to make things as harmonious as possible for the sake of Nahla – she is the number one priority for both of them – so maybe, for her sake, they can make it work.”

We hope that they can!

Halle Berry’s about to launch her latest fragrance, and she’s gone from figs to cactus flowers.

The 43-year-old Oscar-winning actress will release Pure Orchid, the second edition of Halle by Halle Berry next month, People.com reports.

Her first fragrance, which came out last year, was a blend of mimosa and fig scents. However, Pure Orchid has notes of jungle cactus flower, blackberry creme and tonka bean, according to People.

And the actress has a sexy new ad to sell the scent.

Donning a purple dress, she lies on sand of the same color, as pastel purple clouds drift by overhead.

When the fragrance hits stores next month, prices will begin at $17 for a .5-oz bottle.

Halle Berry knows the pain of residents of the Los Angeles battered-women’s shelter where she’s a volunteer. “I saw my mother battered, and could not do anything to stop it,” she told the Sunday Times of London.

“My father was tyrannical, lashing out at her for no reason. I felt the effects that had on our family.” Berry, 43, has been a low-key night-shift volunteer at the Jenesse Center for years, and hopes speaking up will help Jenesse’s six shelters overcome financial stresses brought on by the slack economy.

A former shelter resident said she had no idea the woman she called Halle Baby and who told silly jokes to her children was a movie star.

According to Life & Style, Halle Berry is three months pregnant with her second child. Yes, it is Life & Style, but they have been right a lot lately. Halle, who just turned 43 a couple of weeks ago gave birth to her first child last year.

So, last year Halle got pregnant through IVF, and this year the magazine says she got pregnant through artificial insemination. I really don’t know the difference between the two and am too lazy to look it up, but it sounds to me like it must be pretty close to the same right?

Halle’s publicist hasn’t commented on the report yet, but a source for the magazine said, “Halle is overjoyed. The first time, she struggled so much to get pregnant and eventually conceived through in vitro fertilization. This time, the baby was conceived through artificial insemination. She’s just ecstatic to be pregnant again. She wasn’t sure if she’d have another baby, so she’s very happy.”

I’m pretty happy for her also. (the picture above is from May, so no baby bump)
