People magazine has released their annual best dressed list, ahead of the best dressed issue of their magazine. Then again, with a stylist in tow it’s easy to gain best dressed kudos, so the worst dressed is probably more interesting! I wish that list was longer.

Why have best dressed men lists? Even the most stylish man just tends to walk around in either a tuxedo or a t-shirt. There’s not much complicated about men’s dressing, why not have best punk rocker style for say, Pete Wentz? Or Best male use of make up, which would probably also be won by Pete Wentz.

I’m also confused about the criteria: Avril Lavinge’s lace dress and combat boots is a style no-no, but Lily Allen’s signature look is a dress and hi-top sneakers (Lily is mentioned in a British best dressed section of the magazine). Aren’t these just different versions of the same look? And none of the women on the best dressed list are cleavage shy, but it’s not okay for Hilary Clinton to show off her assets?

“Access Hollywood” has confirmed that Halle Berry is expecting her first child with her boyfriend of two years, model Gabriel Aubry. Halle has talked quite frequently about her desire to have a baby… though the pretty but empty seeming Aubry didn’t exactly appear to be the guy Halle would choose to settle down with. Maybe she won’t, and is just using him for his ideal DNA or something. Halle is three months along, and is expecting her baby on February 14th.

“Halle Berry is pregnant with boyfriend Gabriel Aubry’s baby, the 41-year-old actress confirmed to ‘Access Hollywood’s’ Nancy O’Dell in an e-mail on Tuesday. ‘Yes, I am three months pregnant! Gabriel and I are beyond excited, and I’ve waited a long time for this moment in life. Now the next seven months will be the longest of my life!’ she wrote to Nancy. ‘… You heard it from ME first!’

According to In Touch Weekly, Berry is due on Valentine’s Day. The magazine also reports that Berry will be carefully monitored during the pregnancy, not only because of her age but also because she is a diabetic. She reportedly is being treated by a doctor who specializes in high-risk pregnancies. An insider told the magazine the actress began undergoing fertility treatments in February.

Over the years, Berry has made no secret about her desire for a family. Back in April, Berry sat down with O’Dell for a candid talk about Berry’s plans for kids. ‘Not that there’s not more to accomplish, but I think I arrived at a point in life that I realized I needed more to get me up in the morning. More than going to a new movie set. Or as much fun as getting the star was yesterday, I need something even more profound than that and that’s family. And that’s children,’ Berry said. ‘I need that like the air to breathe these days and I’m ready. I’m at a point where I’m really, really ready.’ Halle and Gabriel met in November 2005.

Wow, if she says she’s three months along and is looking forward to the next seven months of pregnancy, Halle must be planning on a Bridget Moynihan-style 10 month gestation. I’m joking, I know she’s rounding. Or maybe really bad at math. The comment from an “insider” who said Berry had undergone fertility treatments is interesting, since she had previously stated that she would adopt kids if she didn’t get pregnant naturally. Oh well, to each his (or her) own. Halle was really close to her stepdaughter, Eric Benét’s daughter India. She’d made plans to adopt her before their marriage fell apart. Clearly children are really important to her, so it’s great she’s finally gotten something she’s wanted for so long. Congrats to them both!

Halle Berry has been pretty outspoken about her future plans for a child. She told Oprah she wanted a baby before she was 40. She’s also often quoted as saying she wants a biological baby and that she’s considering adoption too, “I probably will adopt even if it does happen naturally.” Halle also rules out ever getting married again after two failed attempts, and says that a marriage license is not necessary for a long-lasting, committed relationship.

Whenever Halle goes out in a floaty top the gossip rags call her pregnant, and in May she sent paparazzi into a frenzy when she wore a loose top while out shopping with her mother.

The latest National Enquirer is set to claim that 41 year-old Halle is two months pregnant, and not one to pass up a sensational angle, they’re bringing up her diabetes as a possible complication for her maybe-pregnancy:

Halle Berry’s dream has reportedly come true: the actress recently learned she’s two months pregnant, sources tell The National Enquirer. But Halle’s baby joy has been tempered by her fears that her diabetes could turn the happiest event of her life into a difficult pregnancy.

Halle is so happy right now, said an insider. She’s wanted a baby for so long. But at the same time she’s scared because she is very aware of the complications that having diabetes can cause during pregnancy. She’s doing everything possible to make sure her baby is born healthy.

According to medical experts, diabetes increases the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth and birth defects for expectant moms with the disease. Moms with diabetes have a significantly greater risk of having babies born with heart, brain, kidney, and spinal problems as a result of changes of blood glucose levels in the body during pregnancy. But with the proper care, Halle has an excellent chance of delivering a healthy baby.

The Enquirer was right about Nicole Richie’s pregnancy, and was the first source to declare her pregnant. It’s possible they were guessing based on paparazzi pictures, like we did, but since they were correct in that instance it’s somewhat possible they do have some inside source that knows that Halle is pregnant.

If this is true, congratulations to Halle and her boyfriend, Canadian model Gabriel Aubry, 31. The last paparazzi or event pictures I could find of her are from late May so she’s been laying low at least.

Halle Berry might say never when it comes to getting married again, but that doesn’t mean she can’t domesticate her live-in boyfriend, Montreal-born model Gabriel Aubry, 31. Berry was seen out with Aubry at Restoration Hardware, the guy-friendly version of Pottery Barn, encouraging him to pick out candles and towels. When it came time to pay the over $1,000 bill, she made it clear that he was footing it. The guy had a black no-limit AmEx, though, so it’s not like he can’t afford it:

The 40-year-old beauty took her live-in love Gabriel Aubry to the mall recently - and gave him a brief lesson in Shopping 101.

“Halle dragged Gabriel into Restoration Hardware in Century City to pick out towels and candles for their Los Angeles home,” a source told the Enquirer.

But when a sale associate tried to assist the couple, Halle waved the guy off.

“She told him: ‘No thanks, He needs to learn how to do these things himself! You men suddenly get all helpless when it comes to domestic stuff. And that just doesn’t cut it with me!”

With Halle’s guidance, Gabriel picked out about $800 worth of bath towels and some decorative candles. Gabriel, 31, “was the picture of contrition,” says the source. “Talk about henpecked - the poor guy should have been wearing an apron!”

But the clincher came when the couple was checking out during the June 21 outing.

“The total was over $1,000,” the source said. At first Gabriel just stood there. Until Halle said: ‘Well, you certainly don’t think I’m paying!’”

Gabriel fumbled for his wallet and quickly broke out a black American Express card and gave it to the clerk.

The article ends with Halle and Gabriel walking out of the store holding hands.

Why do I love this story? I mean, as a single women I was taught never to try and get a guy to re-do his apartment for you (take a note, Camilla Alves) but somehow Halle Berry telling her boyfriend he has to learn to shop for home goods is empowering. Aubrey is one of those beautiful men that you expect to have a spotless place and all the high-end accoutrements that go along with it, but maybe he’s really an average guy slob and that perfect bone structure is misleading.

Halle Berry was recently named the best looking celebrity over 40 by InTouch Magazine. She will turn 41 on August 14th. (And her boyfriend is 31!)
