Halle Berry fans, take note: The Oscar winner’s first fragrance, a woody oriental she collaborated on with Coty, hits shelves next week. A nose in her own right (the starlet reportedly delights in mixing and layering scents to create her own signature eau de parfum), Berry’s Halle by Halle Berry features mimosa and fig essences that the press materials explain are intended to evoke “the spirit of a woman who is effortlessly sexy, stylish, and elegant.” If you’re looking for something that’s more deliberately sexy, tacky, and borderline trashy, Jenna Jameson has also just launched her own scent, Heartbreaker by Jenna. (In the world of celebrity fragrance, there is something for everyone.)

Added some magazine scans from 2005 and 2006 – it’s mostly scans from People magazine.

Halle Berry has become attached to star in “Who Is Doris Payne,” a Eunetta Boone-scripted fact-based film about an international jewel thief whose career spanned five decades.

The project is being developed by J2 partners Justin Berfield and Jason Felts. That duo just got their first pilot pickup when Fox Broadcasting greenlit “Sons of Tucson,” bringing Berfield back to Fox for the first time since he starred as Reese in “Malcolm in the Middle.”

Berfield has drafted Todd Holland to direct the “Sons of Tucson” pilot. (Holland directed the “Malcolm in the Middle” pilot.)

J2 just wrapped “An Invisible Sign of My Own,” which stars Jessica Alba as a math whiz who withdraws from life after a mystery illness debilitates her father.

Aside from “Who Is Doris Payne,” JW is prepping “Ohio,” a James V. Hart-scripted drama about the events leading up the Kent State shootings, and “Garcia,” a film about Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia.

Magazine scans from 11 magazines in 2007 has been added to the gallery. Enjoy!

SINGER Rihanna has joined a long line of celebrity victims of domestic violence after allegedly being assaulted by boyfriend Chris Brown last week.

Suddenly her shocking personal life mirrored that of Halle Berry, Tina Turner and Madonna, who have all been involved in abusive relationships.

As these women have shown, no amount of celebrity can insulate someone from domestic violence.

So why do famous women, who seemingly have all the power in the world, stay with violent men?

Psychotherapist Odelia Carmon, who specialises in counselling on women’s issues, says many stars are afraid the truth will tarnish their reputation.

“Their image is also going to be affected by a broken relationship. They are jeopardising their image and the community perception of them. It comes at a cost they don’t want to pay,” Carmon said.

Some celebrities become addicted to the drama of being with a man their fame can not control, she said.

“It’s a common thing around women who actually tolerate domestic violence, it keeps them out of the hum drum of all other people, it makes them unique,” Carmon says.
