Halle Berry has broken her foot while filming ‘Cloud Atlas’ in Spain

The actress was at the house where she is staying while making the sci-fi movie when she mis-stepped, causing her injury. Sources told website TMZ she was taken to hospital where he foot was put in a cast. She later left the medical facility in a wheelchair.

The film’s directors, Tom Tykwer, Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski, are overcoming the immediate problem of shooting Halle’s scenes – in which she plays one of few remaining survivors in a post apocalyptic world – by filming her from the waist up, using a stunt double, or simply shooting other scenes in which she is not required.

Speaking of the film, Tom has promised it will be of an epic proportion, saying: “The big-scale adult movie is a dying species. Where are the ‘2001s’ and the ‘Lawrence of Arabia’? “You go to all these studios, and you see their framed photographs, the films they’re so proud of, and you wonder: ‘Where are the pictures this year that they want blown up with a nice expensive frame around it?’”

Other A-list stars to appear in the big budget adaptation of the novel by David Mitchell include Tom Hanks, Hugh Grant, Jim Sturgess and Hugo Weaving. Halle is not the only star to have been hurt in an accident in recent weeks. ‘True Blood’ actress Evan Rachel Wood lost a tooth after being hit in the face by an erratic dancer at a Parisian nightclub, where she was celebrating her 24th birthday earlier this month.

Halle Berry accused Gabriel Aubry of putting their daughter at risk in court today (28.06.11)

The former couple are locked in a bitter battle over the care of three year old Nahla, and a lawyer for Halle has served a lengthy document claiming Gabriel has violated their custody agreement.

According to gossip website TMZ, the court documents go into great detail about how Halle is unsure of Gabriel’s parenting skills, including detailing one incident outside of the US, when he allegedly neglected Nahla, putting her safety at risk.

Oscar winner Halle – who split from Gabriel in April 2010 – is asking the judge to rule her ex-partner has violated their custody agreement. As he was not present in court, the judge has set a hearing for a later date. Halle, 44, first raised questions over Gabriel’s parenting in January, and subsequently launched a bid for full custody of Nahla.

A spokesperson for the actress said at the time: “Halle has serious concerns for her daughter’s well-being while in the care of her father and is prepared to take all necessary steps to protect her.” The 34-year-old model hit back at the claims however, calling Halle “irresponsible”.

He said in a statement: “Gabriel fully believes that a consistent and balanced living situation and two loving parents are crucial for their child. “He will always defend his rights as a father and will always consider Nahla’s best interest. Halle’s continuing allegations in the press are untrue and irresponsible.”

Halle Berry is to make a guest appearance in ‘The Simpsons’

The actress has provided her voice for an Oscar-themed episode of the animated show, in which a cartoon version of herself will wear the famous red dress she donned to accept her Academy Award in 2002.

In the story, entitled ‘Angry Dad: The Movie’, Bart Simpson’s cartoon about an aggressive father is turned into a film and wins huge critical acclaim.

The movie wins a Golden Globe, presented by Russell Brand (voiced by himself), but Bart’s dad Homer races up to the podium ahead of his son and gives his own acceptance speech.

The movie’s winning streak continues and Homer takes credit at each ceremony so when it’s nominated for an Oscar, Bart keeps it quiet from his family.

But Homer and wife Marge arrive at the ceremony just as Halle is presenting the statuette to Bart and after his fellow nominee Nick Park helps him realise that filmmaking is team effort, Bart gives his father some credit.

Speaking about Halle’s cameo, screenwriter Al Jean told TV Guide magazine: “Halle starts talking about herself as she’s presenting. She ad-libbed something she actually dreams about at night that we left in.

“We always ask the subject to give us a photo they’d like us to work off, and then we give the character an overbite. It’s hard to make Halle Berry look bad.”

The episode airs in the US on February 20.

Halle’s Race War With Gabriel: Our Daughter IS Black

Halle Berry says it point blank … her daughter is Black — a direct message to her ex Gabriel Aubry who, according to sources, “went nuts” anytime someone called Nahla Black.

Halle says in an upcoming interview with EBONY magazine, “I feel she’s Black. I’m Black and I’m her mother, and I believe in the one-drop theory.” The one-drop rule was used during segregation to describe anyone who wasn’t 100% Caucasian.

As TMZ first reported, sources connected with the former couple say Gabriel insists Nahla is White.

Truth is, their both sorta right … and both sorta wrong

Halle Berry: He Put My Kid At Risk!

Halle Berry claims her baby daddy Gabriel Aubry is a crazed, jealous man who put their child at risk, while he claims she’s the jealous one who flies into rages and is a no-show in the baby’s life … sources tell TMZ.

Halle and Gabriel are locked in what has turned into an epic custody war. Sources tell us … while Gabriel was dating someone last year … he claims Halle would call, screaming and swearing at him in a jealous rage.

Gabriel is claiming … when he went to London and South Africa with Halle and Nahla last August when she was shooting a movie, Halle would sometimes not return for days, when she was supposed to care for the toddler.

Gabriel also claims Halle cares more about dating than parenting.

But our sources say Halle says it’s the opposite — that Gabriel is petty, jealous and irresponsible. But the most serious allegation … we’re told Halle believes Gabriel put Nahla in immediate harm’s way by being inattentive while the child was in his care.

TMZ has learned Gabriel Aubry filed a paternity petition on December 30, 2010.

Here’s what we know. Sources say Gabriel was afraid things were going to get rocky in establishing who gets to spend time with the 2-year-old, so he wanted to protect his rights.

Turns out … we’re told whatever differences Halle and Gabriel have … they’ve been pretty much worked out.

Our sources say the former couple has not filed for child custody, visitation or support and they don’t plan to file — they have an arrangement they worked out between the two of them and don’t feel the need to go to court.

One source told TMZ … on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being nuclear war … Halle and Gabriel are a 2.

Kelly Brook thinks her boobs are a “big disappointment”

The 31-year-old star – who posed for Playboy magazine last year – explained while she is proud her assets are her own, they do “flop” when she takes her underwear off.

She said: “Well, they’re mine so that’s nice. They’re not fake, but they hang a bit.

“They’re not super-perky because they’re so big. That’s always a big disappointment, I think. Like when you take your top off and they go flop!”

Despite claiming she would be “too squeamish” to go under the knife for cosmetic surgery on her breasts, the brunette beauty admitted she is envious of Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie’s figures.

When asked whether she would ever have a breast lift, Kelly said: “No, because apparently they take off your nipples. No, no, I really couldn’t. I don’t even think I could have a boob job I’m too squeamish to have someone do that to me.

“Halle Berry has got really good boobs. And Angelina Jolie.”

Khloe Kardashian’s husband wants the couple to have twins

The socialite and her basketball player spouse Lamar Odom are keen to start a family but the brunette beauty thinks the sportsman has a lot to learn when it comes to biology.

In a joint interview with her sisters Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, she told KIIS-FM DJ Ryan Seacrest: “He asked me, ‘Can’t we just put two in there?’ He’s crazy, he thinks it’s like that easy.”

Kim – who has recently been romantically linked with model Gabriel Aubry – also admitted to the presenter that she is currently dating someone, despite previously saying she wanted to remain single after splitting from NFL stars Reggie Bush and Miles Austin earlier this year.

She said: “I really do want to stay single but it’s really hard when you meet amazing people, and gorgeous people. I’m dating – I’m definitely dating.”

Though Ryan didn’t directly ask Kim if she was dating Gabriel, he queried whether she would like to meet Halle Berry, the mother of the Canadian hunk’s two-year-old daughter Nahla.

Kim replied: “She’s beautiful… I may – I don’t know.”

The 30-year-old beauty also laughed off the constant scrutiny of her love life, insisting that whenever she steps out with a man, she is not necessarily romantically involved with them.

She said: “If I’m photographed on five different dates, it’s assumed I am the town slore, and I could have never hooked up with any of these people.

“Sometimes I just wanna date whoever… even if I never sleep with someone, and I’m photographed with three different guys, they assume I’ve slept with all three guys.”

Halle Berry reportedly “kicked out” Gabriel Aubry several months ago after realising their relationship was over.

The Oscar-winning actress decided to end her four-and-a-half year union with the Canadian model as she knew her future wasn’t with him, but wanted the split to be as amicable as possible for the sake of their daughter, Nahla, two.

A source told People magazine: “She kicked him out months ago because he wasn’t able to pull his weight in the relationship and she wanted to move on.

“They’re very amicable in healthy ways because of their child. Her main concern is for the health and happiness of her daughter.”

A representative for twice-married Halle confirmed the break-up, saying: “They have been split for some time, but remain friends and committed parents to their daughter.”

Gabriel, 34, has recently spoken out about the split saying the priority for him and 43-year-old Halle was little Nahla.

He said: “While I will not comment on all of the wild inaccuracies being speculated about in the media, I am sad to say that Halle and I have decided together to separate at this time.

“She is, and will forever be one of the most special and beautiful people that I have ever known, and I am certain that we will continue to have only love and respect for one another.”

“We have been blessed with the most amazing daughter in the world, and her happiness and well-being are the most important thing for both of us. Please respect our privacy during this very difficult time.”

Halle Berry’s ex boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, denies her age is to blame for their split.

The Canadian model told how the breakup of his four and a half year relationship was amicable, and denied the nine-year age gap between him and 43-year-old Halle was a factor, as had previously been reported.

He told Access Hollywood: “While I will not comment on all of the wild inaccuracies being speculated about in the media, I am sad to say that Halle and I have decided together to separate at this time.

“She is, and will forever be one of the most special and beautiful people that I have ever known, and I am certain that we will continue to have only love and respect for one another.”

Since the couple split, which happened a few months ago, Gabriel, 34, and Oscar winning actress Halle have been working to resolve their finances and make arrangements for their two-year-old daughter, Nahla – whom they are said to be planning to equally share custody of.

Gabriel added: “We have been blessed with the most amazing daughter in the world, and her happiness and well-being are the most important thing for both of us. Please respect our privacy during this very difficult time.” Gabriel is believed to have ended the relationship with the ‘Monster’s Ball’ actress because they spent so much time apart.

Halle Berry, Gabriel Split — Custody in Limbo

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry have split, TMZ has confirmed, and she went to a divorce lawyer 3 weeks ago to find out about a custody arrangement … but nothing long-term was agreed upon and no financial settlement has been struck.

Halle and Gabriel worked out a “very short-term custody arrangement,” a very connected source tells TMZ.  But when they worked out the arrangement they had not split, though they were clearly having problems.  Neither Halle nor Gabriel have tried to make the arrangement permanent for 2-year-old Nahla.

Neither of them have gone to a lawyer to formalize any type of long-term agreement, so despite the fact they have split, there is no custody arrangement or property settlement agreement.

We are told, however, by sources close to the situation, that Halle and Gabriel are “working well together” and are handling parental duties without conflict.

We are told the long-term plan is to share custody but nothing has been formalized in writing.

UPDATE:  We’re told Halle and Gabriel have agreed to several short-term custody arrangements while they sort things out.  They have renewed them each time they have expired and are still working under a short-term agreement but no permanent agreement has been struck.

Halle Berry has reportedly split from Gabriel Aubry.

The actress and the French-Canadian model – who have a two-year-old daughter Nahla Ariela Aubry together but are not married – have ended their romance and are currently working out financial and custody arrangements, according to RadarOnline.com.

It was Gabriel, 34, who allegedly decided to call time on his five-year relationship with 43-year-old Halle and their nine-year age gap is believed to have been a factor in his decision.

A source said: “Gabriel just felt it wasn’t working anymore. When they were first together the nine-year age difference between them didn’t faze him, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever dated and he was totally in love. But as time went on he started feeling it more and more. He felt he needed to break it off with Halle.”

The relationship ended a couple of months ago and Halle has been using the services of Judy Bogen, a family law attorney from Beverly Hills law firm Hersch Mannis and Bogen, to sort out custody conditions for Nahla and various financial matters.

The source added: “Gabriel’s main concern was custody of Nahla, he loves that little girl more than anything, and wanted 50/50 joint physical custody of her, which Halle agreed to.

“Financially, Gabriel earns a decent amount from his modeling career, in the region of $700,000 per year, so he’s comfortable and he didn’t want a dime from Halle.

“All Gabriel has asked for is the house they own together in Canada. Halle put the full deposit down on the house but Gabriel has made every one of the payments since. Halle agreed right away.

“As much as it can be it’s been an amicable split.”

Unlucky-in-love Halle is no stranger to break-ups.

The Oscar winner’s first marriage to David Justice, a former baseball player, ended after four years in 1997.

Her second union to musician Eric Benet imploded after four years when the ‘Monster’s Ball’ star discovered he had cheated on her.

After two failed marriages Halle vowed not to wed Gabriel because she didn’t need to be a wife to be happy.

She said: “I will never marry again. I have a good healthy love for myself and love in my life. I no longer feel the need to be someone’s wife and I don’t need the validation of a marriage certificate.”

The ‘Avatar’ actress is inspired by Angelina Jolie and Jessica Biel and loves getting to grips with the action scenes in her movies.

She said: “I have the itch lately. I don’t know if it is after ‘Avatar’ or ‘Star Trek’ or because I’ve just finished an action film called ‘The Losers’, in which I did almost all my own stunts. I think it’s so empowering and sexy.

“I love actresses like Angelina and Jessica. They’re very agile, they incorporate their bodies with their characters and they pick women who are very strong. I really dig that.”

Zoe also credits Angelina, Salma Hayek and Halle Berry for opening up more options to female actresses.

She added in an interview with Esquire magazine: “Before them, women were just sex pots or mothers. They were never the heroes who saved the day. They’ve enabled a generation of actresses to have a bigger variety of roles.

“If I wanted to be part of a story that is amazing and had a lot of sexual openness, that’s fine. But I am so grateful to know that, like them, I can open different doors for women.”

The  ‘X-Men’ actress – who has previously spoken about the abuse she and her mother suffered at the hands of their partners – is relieved the ‘Umbrella’ hitmaker ended her relationship with Chris Brown after he assaulted her in February.

She said: “Any time a woman frees herself from that kind of bondage and that kind of situation I’m proud.”

Meanwhile, Halle has denied she and long-term boyfriend Gabriel Aubry – with whom she has 19-month-old daughter Nahla – are planning to have another child, insisting she is too busy with working on her new perfume range.

When asked if she was contemplating having another baby, she told US TV show ‘Access Hollywood’: “Not my real baby, but my career baby and it’s called Pure Orchid. I have to say it’s pretty.”

Halle recently admitted she used to be attracted to abusive men because she regularly saw her father attacking her mother when she was growing up.

She said: “My mother was a battered woman and that was my childhood for a good chunk of it.

“Early on in my life, I made choices, and I chose men that were abusive because that was what I knew growing up.”

However, she underwent therapy and learned what to do if and when a relationship became violent.

The Oscar-winning beauty regularly witnessed her father attack her mother when she was growing up and says it affected her choice in partners.

She said: “My mother was a battered woman and that was my childhood for a good chunk of it.

“Early on in my life, I made choices, and I chose men that were abusive because that was what I knew growing up.”

However, she underwent therapy and learned what to do if and when a relationship became violent.

The 43-year-old actress has now found happiness with model Gabriel Aubry, the father of her 19-month-old daughter Nahla.

She is also using her experiences to help others who have suffered domestic abuse and works closely with the Jenesse Center, a Los Angeles-based shelter which provides support for victims.

Halle – who was honoured by the centre four years ago for her humanitarian work – said: “I care, I really care about these women and children.”
