If you could guarantee me that I’d be as happy a pregnant woman as Halle Berry is, I’d keep myself knocked up and pregnant like a milk cow for the rest of my life. The woman actually says she loves the hot sweats and the throwing up and all the terrible, atrocious things that come with being pregnant. I always assumed those things were God’s way of letting us know not to pop out too many babies. It’s like natural population control. Of course if we were all like Halle Berry, there’d be about 12 billion extra people hanging out. Or something like that, I don’t believe in math.

“For expectant mom Halle Berry, her current condition is all good – even the wardrobe. ‘There’s no bad,’ the Oscar winner, 41, said Sunday at a press gathering for her new movie, Things We Lost in the Fire, which opens Oct. 19. ‘There is nothing bad about it. The morning sickness and the vomiting and the hot sweats. Nothing’s been bad about it. I’ve loved every second of it,’ she said.

“Holding up four fingers when asked how many months along she is, Berry also said, in response to a query about ‘maternity chic’ and what she’s wearing these days, ‘I think I feel like I’m such a slave to fashion. It’s a hard concept for me to fathom that I’m going to have to wear maternity clothes.’ But, as she also sees it, ‘Fashion is on my side.’ Indicating her empire waist, she adds, ‘Everything is up here and shift-y, so I think I can work it out in normal clothes with normal designers in their collections until the eighth or ninth month, then I might have to break down and do maternity.’”

That woman is cra-to-the-z. Seriously. She loves the morning sickness? I know women who are desperate to have kids are super happy when they finally get pregnant, but is it normal to actually love all the terrible parts too? I’ll probably kick myself for saying that in ten years. But if she’s that happy, that’s great, I wish the rest of us could feel so good.

Halle spent the weekend attending the premiere for her new movie with David Duchovny and Benicio del Toro, “Things We Lost in the Fire.” For some reason boyfriend and baby daddy Gabriel Aubry didn’t accompany her, and instead Berry was escorted by del Toro. I’m not going to go so far as to say there’s trouble, but I do find that a little weird, given all the public baby promotion she’s been doing lately. Let’s hope everything is cool with them.

I’ve never been pregnant, so I don’t totally understand all the hormones that go into it – but I was kinda surprised to hear Halle Berry tell Oprah that she already wants another baby. You haven’t even popped the first one out girl! You’re three months pregnant, aren’t you still throwing up and craving tacos? I’m so confused. I had a friend who’s pregnancy mantra was something about wanting to “evict her little passenger” – and I gotta tell you, that makes a lot of sense to me. I understand wanting more eventually – but Halle must really be overdosing on the oxytocin if she’s already ramping up for more pregnancy.

“Halle Berry says she and her boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, tried and tried and tried to get pregnant. ‘So there was a lot of staying home and doing what you do. Like, all the time, around the clock,’ the 41-year-old Oscar-winning actress said Tuesday on ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show.’ One negative pregnancy test followed another, ‘and finally, after about 35 tests, we finally got a positive test,’ Berry told Winfrey in one of her first interviews since announcing last month that she was expecting her first child with Aubry, her boyfriend of two years.

“Berry, who is about three months pregnant, told Winfrey she doesn’t want to know the sex of the baby. ‘There’s so few genuine surprises in life anymore that, why not have a huge surprise?’ she said. ;And I like fantasizing one day it’s a girl, one day it’s a boy.’ Berry won the best-actress Oscar for 2001′s ‘Monster’s Ball.’ She also won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for 1999′s ‘Introducing Dorothy Dandridge.’”

And how does Berry know all about being a mom? From acting. I’m not sure that’s the greatest indication of motherhood, but then again if never been an actress or a mother, so what the hell do I know.

“She said playing a mother in her latest movie, ‘Things We Lost in the Fire,’ helped convince her that motherhood was for her. ‘I think it validated that I was meant to be a mother because every day I dealt with the character as a mother and thinking as a mother,’ Berry said. ‘It let me know that I must be a mother.’”

Again, I’m not a mother, but something tells me it may be a little different when no one calls “cut” and someone from craft services doesn’t come over and offer Halle a plate of pickles, mustard, and Cheetos. [That joke was funny because women crave weird things when they’re pregnant. Alright that joke wasn’t funny]. Halle says she and boyfriend Gabriel Aubry don’t have any plans to marry. She seems a little jaded after her last two crappy marriages, not that I blame her.

“Berry said she and Aubry don’t plan to marry, but feel fully committed to each other. ‘I feel more married, in a way, than I ever have in two marriages before,’ she said. ‘He really understands the spiritual connection is so much more important than the paper and the pomp and circumstance and the ceremony.’ But Berry said there is something she and Aubry are sure to do: try to have another child. ‘There’s just one right now,’ she said. ‘But we’re hoping, right after this one, to do it again.’”

Well if absolutely nothing else, they will have shockingly gorgeous children. Shiloh and Suri need to look the hell out, because I’m pretty sure the Berry-Aubry baby will be in a league all its own. Stupid cute babies, making me want them. Damn it, there will be no more baby posts after this one.

Sometimes you read something in the news that absolutely turns your stomach, and death threats issued to an unborn baby would have to be one of those things.

Halle Berry has received racist death threats to her unborn baby.

The Oscar-winning beauty – who recently announced she was expecting her first child with boyfriend Gabriel Aubry – has been forced to hire security guards after allegedly receiving several disturbing letters from an anonymous writer.

One note warned she and her child would be “cut into hundreds of pieces”.

A source close to the actress – who has a white father and an African-American mother – told Britain’s Daily Mirror: “Halle does not normally use security but she has taken on a couple of guys to make sure.”

On a lighter note, Halle is only four months pregnant, and already she has partner Gabriel Aubry pampering her feet and satisfying her cravings.

The 32-year-old model told People magazine: “She does crave pickles. And any bread. Doesn’t matter, as long as it’s salt and pickles.”

He revealed: “She loves foot massages. I do all of that stuff.”

Halle has also filmed an appearance on Oprah, where she shows off her baby bump, and talks about taking 33 pregnancy tests. She says she knew she was pregnant, but they kept coming up negative. Did she just take 32, and then the 33rd came up positive and she was like ‘yay!’ I would have just kept taking them until they came back negative again. Or gone and got a doctor to do a blood test, but then I don’t have paparazzi taking my picture every time I leave a doctor’s office and speculating on the size of my belly.

Halle also told Oprah that she’d love to have another baby as soon as possible after she has her current baby, and that she doesn’t plan on finding out the gender of her baby until he or she is born. It doesn’t matter whether the baby is a boy or a girl, it is going to be sooooo cute.

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!)

Halle Berry managed to pull off a weird gold lame number at the People’s Choice Awards last night. It’s a dress that would never appeal to me on a hanger but it looks great on her. She sure doesn’t look pregnant to me, which everyone has been speculating recently due to the fact that she’s been seen out in loose tops. If I was a celebrity, I’d consider wearing t-shirts that said stuff like “I’m not pregnant,” and “My relationship is fine,” but then people would talk smack about how I was too concerned about my public image. So it seems like you can’t win and may as well ignore the gossip.

Berry accepted the award for Best Female Actress in an Action Movie.

Halle Berry was seen out with a ring on her left ring finger while shopping recently, sparking speculation that she’s engaged to her model boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry. Halle said she never wanted to be married again, as a result of her first two failed marriages. She was married to baseball player David Justice from 1992 to 1996, and their marriage is thought to have ended due to the stress of Halle’s celebrity lifestyle along with busy schedules which kept them apart.

Her second marriage to singer Eric Benet ended in 2004 after three years. Benet has admitted he was unfaithful to Berry, but says he was not as much of a cheater as Berry claims. Berry said in an interview that Benet cheated on her an astonishing “27 times.”

Berry’s ring looks too plain to be an engagement ring, but it’s possible the stone is turned around or that she’s wearing the ring for another reason.

Thanks to Flynetonline for these pictures.

Everyone was saying that Halle Berry looked pregnant after those pictures came out of her in a loose dress with what looked like a baby bump. Just like Reese Witherspoon, she appears to be the victim of bloat, fashion and the wind, because these latest candids show her in a tight top and jeans with no bump whatsoever.

She made it clear in recent interviews that she wanted a kid before she was 40, and her 40th birthday was on Monday. She also said she is interested in adoption, and that “I will adopt if it doesn’t happen for me naturally.

Here she is not looking pregnant at all while out shopping with her boyfriend, Versace model Gabriel Aubrey, 30. I like how he grabs her ass while she’s walking up the stairs.

These are said to be from 8/16 and were found at Hollywood’s Best.
