Halle Berry Confirms What I’ve Suspected All Along…



Beauty isn’t everything.


Just because you are beautiful, doesn’t mean you aren’t a head case. And, Halle Berry, my dear friends, is a major head case. Before you get your feathers ruffled … allow me to explain.

She is perhaps the most beautiful woman in the world. A style icon that graces the covers of fashion and celebrity magazines. A beautiful mother with a sweet baby girl. She’s an Oscar winner, she sells us Revlon make up. She’s also a head case.

Because I am an equal opportunity offender, I felt the need to post about Ms. Berry’s latest relationship conundrum. Last week, it was announced she and her model boyfriend (who is also the father of her baby) decided to split. Hmmm, seems she’s been through a lot of men.

Let’s look at a history of Halle’s men to support my argument that she’s a head case.

David Justice: the handsome baseball player from the Atlanta Braves was really the first public relationship Halle had. She was an up and coming actress and he was a handsome and popular baseball player. They were married and they seemed to be the perfect match. When the split, it was revealed that Justice was abusive to Berry. NO WOMAN (OR MAN) SHOULD STAY IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP!!!!! So she gets a pass.

Then, Halle became involved with Eric Benet, an R & B and soul singer. Many thought this was the relationship that would make her happy. She was finally out of the abusive relationship with David Justice and the beautiful Ms. Berry was married to a man who loved and respected her. Until they broke up. Halle claims he cheated on her 27 times. Here is where I ask the obvious question in everyone’s mind…

WHO CHEATS ON FREAKIN’ HALLE BERRY, UNLESS….. She’s a head case????

In 2005-2006, everyone thought Halle had finally found it—the elusive love of her life that had previously evaded her. She gave birth to a daughter in 2008. The father of her baby is Gabriel Aubry, a beautiful model and nine years her junior. They were the most beautiful couple on any red carpet in Hollywood. A beautiful model and perhaps the world’s most beautiful woman.

Of course, they have broken up.

Oh, one thing I failed to mention that has always bugged me about Halle Berry. It has pretty much been swept under the rug (by some pretty good PR folks, I might add.) In 2000, she was in a hit-and-run accident near the Sunset Strip. She injured a woman, and drove away to get medical attention for herself! What??!!??!!??! Are you kidding me? It was also revealed she was in a similar accident a few years prior and ran away from the scene. Unbelievable. Berry was sued by the woman she injured and Berry settled.

Of course, this is all my opinion, but I still stand by it. Beauty isn’t everything. She keeps having issues with men and seems so “unlucky in love.” I think she’s not so unlucky as she is a “head case in love.” I’m just sayin’…

Riddle me this...



Some glitter when they get in the sun. Some burn and melt in the sun. Some can pass for humans in the sun, just very pale humans. Others just can’t go out at all.


Some sleep/die in the daytime. Others sleep in coffins. Yet others don’t need any sleep.

Some have to have human blood. Others can live on synthetic blood. Yet others survive on animal blood.
What am I talking about? You guessed it… vampires.

For the last 2 years or so, America and the world has been re-introduced to vampires. And I’m not talking about the blood sucking killers from Transylvania named Dracula. I’m talking about romantic vampires, ones that are handsome and dreamy (albeit a bit pale.) I’m talking about Civil War vampires with long, Southern draws for accents, and teenage vampires that live in Washington state. Today’s vampires are out and about, they are known about and aren’t in hiding anymore. And frankly, that makes them more confusing.

I’ll admit, I’ve succumbed to the vampire storylines that have been gripping everyone else. The Twilight saga featuring young Edward Cullen that makes teenagers and their moms swoon to be bitten on the neck; the Sookie Stackhouse novels that have been made into HBO’s Tru Blood with Bill Compton, the sultry Civil War vampire who falls in love with a “common but uncommon” Louisiana waitress; the teeny bopper show on the CW, “The Vampire Diaries,” featuring the ultimate good vs. evil vampire brothers (might I mention they are also hot) Stephan and Damon Salvatore in modern day Mystic Falls, Virginia. I’ve also read a series of novels by Laurell K. Hamilton about a modern day vampire hunter, Anita Blake, who falls in love with -- get this -- the city of St. Louis’ Master Vampire, Jean-Claude.

And, each of these vampires is different and has very different characteristics. Sometimes it’s hard to keep it all straight. For example, Edward can go out in daylight, and it isn’t so obvious he is a vampire, as long as it is cloudy. But in the sun, he sparkles like a million diamonds. Damon and Stephan can also go out in daylight and they are protected. Poor Bill Compton, on the other hand, dies all over again each morning and sleeps in either a coffin or under the floor of his home in a “hidey hole.” If he goes out in the sun, he burns severely and will die (but he’s already dead, but I digress.) Jean Claude also sleeps/dies during the day and can’t go out at night.

Some vampires eat food just to keep up appearances. Others don’t even bother. Some drink normal drinks like coffee to warm their body temperatures. Others don’t even bother. It’s all quite confusing and it must be a conundrum if you are the woman who is in love with them.
