Halle Berry Nominated for Cupid & Curbie Award
Over the past year we have seen cupid shoot a LOT of arrows into the hearts of celebrities – some successfully (Rihanna and Chris Brown), and some not so successfully (Nicollete Sheridan and David Spade).

Now is your chance to vote for the best and the worst of the celebrity hookups and breakups of 2008 in the Famous Hookups “Cupids and Curbies Awards”.
Halle Berry has been nominated for a “Cupid & Curbie Award” as one of the “Sexiest New Celebrity Parents of 2008”.
Being Halle Berry – Essence Magazine

Academy Award-winning actress, Halle Berry graces the cover of ESSENCE (for the seventh time!) for our annual Hollywood issue. CNN’s “American Morning” correspondent Lola Ogunnaike talks to Berry about her upcoming movie, “Frankie and Alice,” remaining a successful Black actress in Hollywood and playing her most important role-being a mom to her 9-month-old daughter, Nahla.
The Hollywood special also includes a photo spread featuring the legendary Diahann Carroll, Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson and “The Secret Lives of Bees” director Gina Prince-Bythewood. Each of the ladies will be honored at the second annual ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon taking place February 19 during Oscar Week at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The March 2009 issue hit newsstands on February 12.
On dating a White man:
“I tried Black men. I tried,” she wails in a mock southern accent. “I married two Black men. You know I tried.” She laughs again before making clear that “I don’t hold all Black males responsible because of the two bad eggs I got. I even dated Black men after my last divorce, but this is just where I found love.”
On her longevity in Hollywood:
“Setbacks energize me. They make me realize that I have more work to do.”
On being a mom:
“I thought I knew love before, but I never knew anything like this.”
On going bald for a role:
“I am shaving it off,” she says. “I know. Here comes the controversy, but I have to do it for the role and it will grow back – I hope.”
NAACP marks its 100th anniversary
On February 12th, the NAACP will mark its 100th anniversary, which coincides with the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth. Across the country, NAACP units in over 1,200 communities will cut cakes, reaffirm their commitment to the struggle ahead and celebrate the historical journey that has culminated in the election of the first African-American president. The biggest birthday party, the 40th NAACP Image Awards, will be co-hosted by filmmaker Tyler Perry and actress Halle Berry in Los Angeles. Awards will be given to numerous artists in the entertainment and literary industry with special nods to former Vice President Al Gore, environmentalist Wangari Muta Maathai, and Muhammad Ali.
But the celebration of progress is tempered by a sober realization of the civil rights goals still unachieved. The NAACP will release an urgent white paper that issues a civil rights challenge to the new Congress and Administration for the first 100 days.
“Our journey remains unfinished,” says NAACP President Ben Jealous. “African-Americans suffer disproportionately from the economic recession, we are seeing a rise in hate crimes and police killings, there is still not a level playing field in economic and educational opportunities for every community. The audacious dream of America, a land where opportunity exists for all and where every person is given a chance to reach their full potential, still remains elusive.”
The white paper, which also forecasts key long-term goals, will emphasize the issues that need urgent immediate attention and will be released prior to the Image Awards celebration.
NAACP Image Awards Chairperson Clayola Brown states: “The success of artists like Halle Berry and Tyler Perry remind us of the immense progress that has been made in the last 100 years and gives us continued hope for the progress that our nation will achieve in the future.”
“This year’s Image Awards is not just a special event, it is an historic occasion, and I hope all Americans will tune in,” adds NAACP Hollywood Bureau Executive Director Vicangelo Bulluck, who serves as executive producer of the awards telecast.
OMG! Halle Berry’s Baby Daddy Is Poop Perfect
Halle Berry is one busy woman, but there’s at least one thing she doesn’t have to worry about these days: changing 11-month-old baby Nahla‘s stinky diapers!
“I know it sounds weird, but I really like diaper duty. I don’t mind at all,” the Oscar winner’s hottie boyfriend and baby daddy, Gabriel Aubry, told us yesterday at the Callaway Golf Foundation’s tournament benefiting the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s cancer research programs.
In fact, Aubry says he’s become quite the expert.
“I’m amazing at changing diapers,” he bragged. ”So skilled it’s not even funny. Lights up, lights down, it doesn’t matter.”
Aubry also tells us Nahla has started talking. “Sometimes she repeats a word right after you,” Aubry said. “Like the other day, I said, ‘Peekaboo,’ and a moment later, she said, ‘Peekaboo.’ It was so cute.”
The couple definitely want to make more babies. “Nahla’s so great that I’d have 10 more of her,” Aubry said. “But I’ll stop at two.”
And while it sounds like family life couldn’t be more perfect for them, Aubry does have one complaint.
“Just being with the family is great, but I wish we had more—how can I say this—privacy,” Aubry explained. “I mean, there are 30 people who live outside our house.”
