Halle Berry steps out in a clingy dress; what’s going on with her custody case?


These are photos of Halle Berry looking like a million bucks in a clingy gray cowl neck dress with a blue paint splatter print. This dress is amazing, and Halle has paired it with some casual black flip flops that look just slightly fancier than the ones I’m wearing now. She looks incredible, and like she’s plotting something, right? She’s got some kind of notepad with her, she’s talking animatedly, and I would bet that the woman with her is a lawyer or someone otherwise connected to her custody case. That’s just a hunch, and I could be completely wrong, but that’s the vibe I’m getting. Halle, this unnamed woman, and Halle’s fiance Olivier Martinez were spotted out at lunch on Melrose Ave on Sunday. Ok, so it was Sunday and it might have been just friends going for lunch, but where Halle is involved I’m suspicious.

The last we heard, Halle had called in Salma Hayek to submit a sworn declaration in her custody case. Halle is of course trying to move to France with her daughter Nahla, against the wishes her Nahla’s father, Gabriel Aubry. Halle’s central argument is that the paparazzi are aggressive and threaten Nahla’s safety in LA and that a move to France would protect the child. It looks like Halle might get her way, but we haven’t heard anything yet about the judge’s ruling. So the case is either ongoing, or the decision was unfavorable to Halle and she doesn’t want the news to get out. I’m thinking that nothing has been decided yet, but TMZ’s lack of updates has definitely been suspicious. Maybe more news will come out this week.

Meanwhile Gabriel’s camp has been very quiet. He used to leak news to Radar Online, (which was not always beneficial to his image) and at some point Radar switched and seemed to be as team Halle as TMZ. Maybe Gabriel realized that it wasn’t helping his case to play the media game, although it seemed like he was just trying to defend himself. He’s had to do that quite a bit since the breakup with Halle. I hope the lack of news means that Gabe is winning this round.

    Olivier is hopefully realizing what a nut-case he’s dating and rethinking the whole situation.
    I hope the judge actually decides that Halle is unfit and gives primary custody to Gabriel.
    Boy, when Halle’s break-up with Olivier finally comes, can you imagine the drama, emotional storms and general chaos that living with Halle will be? I would wish that on nobody.

      The only way it could be worse than imagined is if she’s actually granted permission to move to France and the break-up happens there.

      While I’m looking forward to the break-up histrionics/story (Olivier cheated; he’s abusive; “blah blah I’M the victim here;” you know, her typical schtick), I do hope Nahla’s with Gabriel when it happens. That poor child has been through enough.

    Question is Oliver using her for money? If it’s about the money why didn’t he marry Kylie who makes her money look like chicken change? And she was so so desperate to marry him but he didn’t want too. I’m just not sure about this guy..

    she has always had ample breasts but definitely there is some enhancement since she had Nahla. her body is so perfect. feminine and toned. I would put that 50% genetics, 50% from gymnastics when she was younger and maintaining as she got older.

    I hope the judge is doing a mental tally of her custodial gymnastics regarding her attempts to keep Nahla from Gabe. I hope he tells her “NO.”

    I would actually fly down there just to be able to sit in the gallery and see her face if that happened.

    It is hot as all hell here, so I’m coveting that dress. (Not saying I would wear it out, necessarily, but it looks comfy and like my style.)

    That is one of the ugliest dresses I’ve ever seen. I find that I often disagree with you about fashion, but it would be boring if we all like the same things…

    This was set for Trial for 17 days. It went ahead on Thursday, I thought maybe Court was “dark” or not in session, on Fridays, but still nothing? You cannot just not go. Maybe the Court gave her a tentative ruling and it wasn’t favorable to her, and rather than pay 16 more days of attorney fees and costs, she folded? Maybe nobody has leaked the news is why we have heard nothing, but a favorable to Gabriel decision was reached? I wonder what Gabriel will be up against if her Paris ploy failed. Hope the Judge saw thru her, and warned her to knock this nonsense off!

    I too have been looking up tmz hoping to get an update. I can’t stand this woman. I know it has been said a thousand times but if the judge has not caught on to her ploys by now than Gabe doesn’t stand a chance. I mean her narcissistic personality disorder is epic. If she doesn’t get her way Gabe better watch his back. When the inevitable break-up with Olivier happens I wonder is she is going to blame it on French people. Also, if she doesn’t get her way I wonder if he will be quietly paid off and she will find either another celeb to hook up with or try to find a city far from LA, maybe NYC that she can use the “need to move for work” excuse.

    I cannot stand this woman one iota.

    Yes, she is hot but that hardly makes up for being a crazy bitch.

    I hope the judge rules in favor of Aubry and Halle is not able to move to France with their adorable daughter.

    There are a lot of celebrity kids growing up just fine and happy in Hollywood. I hope the Judge realizes that Nahla is nothing more than a ploy for a woman who wants to be with her man in France. What’s good for Nahla actually comes last. It’s what’s good for Halle…does she really think she’s fooling anyone?

      @Sabrine – I actually think this whole Olivier, getting engaged and moving to France thing is just a ploy to get Nahla to herself and away from Gabriel. I don’t actually believe she is in love with Oliver I think it is a business arrangement. I think this womans NPD knows no bounds and she has and will continue to plot and ploy until she gets what she wants. There is no end to her machinations.

    Halle is beautiful on the outside, but her attitude and her hateful spite against her daughter and trying to keep her away from her father makes her one of the ugliest women in Hollywood. I feel so sorry for Nahla having her as a mother.

    TMZ has an update now. They are saying that Gabe’s attorneys said in court that Halle could be killed by the paps like Princess Diana was. What I don’t understand is why can’t Gabe countersue and tell the court that she is making this about Nahla’s saftey when it is 100% obvious that this whole “safer in France” thing is just a ploy to separate Nahla from her father? I mean that is the real issue. It has nothing to do with safety. If his attorney’s are smart, which I am in serious doubt that they are they would show a timeline of all her shenanigans. It reads like a playbook of if then statements. If this play doesn’t work let’s try this. And so on.

      He meant she could be killed there just as easy as here. No diff. She flaunts herself in the press as much as ANY celeb I can think of. She’s suddenly going to go into seclusion over there? Let’s just hope Gabriel’s attorney (and his secretaries) read the tabloids and comments and really has his side of the argument down. Everybody else under the sun knows this is no run-of-the-mill custody case. Halle wants her way, and that doesn’t include Gabriel in Nahla’s life.

    Rachel Weiez, and Juliette Moore somebody said that they are more beautiful than Halle Berr, sorry in my books they are plain Janes, they look like a thousand other women. Why Halle Berry,Liz Taylor and Angelina Jolie are considered beautiful they facial beauty are rare. Halle Berry is a terrible mother, some people should not have children and she is one of them, she is gross!

    so if Halle moves to France = protecting Nahla then if Halle ever moves back to the U.S. = she doesn’t care about Nahla anymore? She probably shouldn’t even allow Nahla to come back on vacation, too risky.
