Halle Berry is on the latest issue of Ebony magazine. The Oscar winner is in a nasty custody battle with her baby daddy Model Gabriel Aubry. The past week has been quiet between the two, but the charges of racial slurs and jealous fights have been ugly. Berry has put her career on hold to fight for custody of her daughter Nahla. Aubry’s friends say he is being unfairly maligned by a very powerful woman who couldn’t handle the fact that he was ready to move on with his life without her. Berry’s track record has not been good, and she always played the victim in her relationships. Her past marriages include Baseball Player David Justice and Singer Eric Benet. She has also dated Singer Christopher Williams and Actors Shemar Moore and Wesley Snipes. Aubry briefly dated Reality Star Kim Kardashian. Sources say this made Berry crazy, and ever since then she has vowed to make his life miserable. Berry is going to have to be careful. These ugly headlines are not good for her career or her image.
Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel issued the sentence after listening to testimony from employees of an alcohol treatment program that Lohan had been ordered to attend.
Lohan missed seven classes since December, which led to the judge’s harsh rebuke moments after the “Mean Girls” star offered a tearful apology.
“I did do everything I was told to do and did the best I could to balance jobs and showing up,” Lohan told the judge. “It wasn’t vacation, it wasn’t some sort of a joke.”
Revel said she found Lohan’s apology insincere, comparing it to “somebody who cheats and thinks it isn’t cheating if she doesn’t get caught.”
Lohan was not immediately taken into custody and will be permitted to surrender on July 20. She will have to wear an ankle alcohol monitor until then.

Ok here is my 2 cents, to the commentary. She should go to jail for one year as stipulated earlier by the judge when he gave her a one year probation. Now she is only going to do 90 days, and it looks like just a fraction of that time. Are you kidding me. What happen to the laws of the land. She is wrong and has been wrong for quite sometime. Granted the young lady has some serious mental issues. Evidently her family and friends are not concern or love her enough to see that she gets the help that is require.
She has been a living train wreck for sometime. Maybe being in jail for a few weeks will make her think about
how serious DUI’s are and her own mental health. At this point it looks like money talks and B.S. walks!
How do you feel about Lindsey Lohan?
It’s always a let-down when folks you’ve admired or respected from afar turn out to be jerks in person. Case in point: Gabourey Sidibe, the Oscar-nominated actress in the title role of “Precious.”
Y’all know how much I loved the powerful film from director Lee Daniels about an obese New York City teenager enduring unspeakable abuse at the hands of her parents. After Oscar night, I wrote, “I was rooting for Gabourey Sidibe for best actress. But the moment edgy comedienne Mo’Nique won the Oscar for supporting actress, I knew that the divine Sidibe was toast.” But after meeting Sidibe at the White House Correspondents dinner and hearing about others’ negative encounters with her, I’m putting down my pompoms.
I was thrilled to spot her at a table laughing uproariously with the man sitting to her right. “I know you’re having a good time and I’m sorry to interrupt,” I began. My next sentence didn’t come out because Sidibe shouted over the din, “Yeah, come back in five minutes!” Thinking she was joking, I laughed and pretended to walk away. When I noticed that the look in her eyes meant she was serious, I walked back to her and said, “I just wanted to congratulate you on your nomination. I thought your performance was spectacular. I even wrote a column about it.” After wishing her good luck, I rejoined my friends.
Back at the table, I sheepishly related the incident to my colleague Jo-Ann Armao. “Oh! She’s horrible,” Armao said in her wonderfully blunt way. She told me that she saw Sidibe at the pre-cocktails and told her that she’d seen “Precious” three times (an amazing emotional feat that only adds to my awe of Armao) and that she thought Sidibe’s performance was “incandescent.” What was Sidibe’s response? “I guess I should say, ‘Thank you.’”
At the MSNBC after party, the partner of a “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” producer said to me, “Look! There’s Gabby Sidibe. I’m going to ask her to take a picture with me.” I warned him, “She’s mean.” To which he said, “I don’t care. I just want a picture.” I didn’t see what went down, but the dejected fan came back and said incredulously, “She said no.” No doubt the constant interruptions and jostling are bothersome. Her ever-shrinking zone of privacy must be irksome, too. And there’s no law that says Sidibe has to show grace to her fans or appreciation for their kind words. But a true star would.
At a dinner for the BET Honors back in January here in Washington, I had the pleasure of sitting next to Oscar-nominated actress and singer Queen Latifah. To be honest, I expected to get the Sidibe treatment. Instead, Latifah was as interesting as she was interested. She greeted fans who came over with a smile and warmth that made people happy they worked up the courage just to say hello. Latifah knows that without fans she has no career. Sidibe’s behavior shows she has yet to learn that. How about checking that ego at
the door.
Halle Berry is not happy with her babydaddy Model Gabriel Aubry. Aubry has been dating Reality Starlet Kim Kardashian. But, don’t believe the hype, it’s all for publicity. Aubry loves the attention. He knows if he is on the arm of Kim K, he is going to get noticed. Berry and Aubry have a beautiful young daughter Nahla. Berry feels as long as he is participating in this publicity stunt: Keep That Plastic Whore Away From Their Daughter. Berry’s new movie, Frankie And Alice, comes out in February as well as her new fragrance Reveal. In Frankie And Alice, Halle plays a woman who suffers from multiple personalities.
SIDEBAR: Halle why you worried you kicked ole boy Aubry to the curb last year, which was by your
choice not his. Who really is the needy person here. You get as good as you give gurlfriend, watch
your self, your cat claws are showing.
