Halle Berry Sorry for Jewish Joke

2007-10-27T00:16:00.000+05:30

The Oscar-winning actress has issued a public mea culpa for a quip made on The Tonight Show Friday, in which she joked that a photograph making her nose look unusually large could pass for a picture of "my Jewish cousin."

While making the requisite small talk with host Jay Leno, Berry pulled out pictures she had taken of herself on her computer through Apple's Photo Booth software.

"The machine morphs your face to look like all these silly other people," she said. "Whenever I'm feeling really bad about the world I do this to crack myself up."

In introducing the first picture from the batch, in which her nose was vastly distorted, Berry said, "This one, I don't know, this is like my Jewish cousin."

The full remark never made it on air, however. The audience's silence at the attempted joke was covered with a laugh track and the word Jewish was muted out.

Leno's reaction, though, was not.

"I'm glad you said it and not me," he said.

Berry, however, appeared to realize her gaffe immediately.

"Oh, my God, have I just, like, ruined my whole career?" she asked, before going through the rest of her photo presentation.

The pregnant 41-year-old said Tuesday that the comment was not intended to be anti-Semitic and that she requested Leno have it removed from the show.

"I so didn't mean to offend anybody—and after the show I realized it could be seen as offensive, so I asked Jay to take it out, and he did," she said.

Berry also said one of her assistants, who happens to be Jewish, actually made the joke just before the actress went on.

"What happened was I was backstage before the show, and I have three girls who are Jewish who work for me. We were going through pictures to see which ones looked silly, and one of my Jewish friends said, 'That could be your Jewish cousin!' And I guess it was fresh in my mind, and it just came out of my mouth. But I didn't mean to offend anybody. I didn't mean any harm.

"It was just supposed to be a silly segment. I am so sorry, and I apologize."

"[Spears] walked around the restaurant into the lounge where she met up with some people," an observer tells PEOPLE. "She didn't eat or drink - [It] seemed like she was rounding up people to go to [out]. She was very friendly and smiley, in and out."

Another source says, "Alli was meeting up with Tony and his friends at Ketchup and Britney wanted to come along. Tony and Alli have been good friends. They've known each other for a little over a year. "

Later, Romo met up with Sims, Spears and other pals at the Hollywood hotspot Les Deux where they hung out for a friendly low-key night upstairs.

Spears was "sitting with her friends and Tony. Everyone was just hanging out. Brit was upbeat, really seemed fine."

An ex-boyfriend of Anna Nicole Smith who is serving a six-year sentence for making criminal threats against her wants a piece of her inheritance, according to documents filed with Los Angeles Superior Court.

He filed his claim Wednesday in Superior Court.

Repeated calls Friday to his representatives were not returned.

Hatten's Web site says he is writing a memoir entitled "Hollywood Bad Boy: Sex, Drugs, and Anna Nicole."

Smith married Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II in 1994 when he was 89 and she was 26. He died in 1995.

The reality TV star and former Playboy Playmate of the Year had fought Marshall's family over his estimated $500 million fortune from his death until her own death earlier this year.

2007-11-05T01:04:00.000+05:30

Christina Aguilera finally addressed one of the worst kept secrets in show biz.

In an interview with Glamour magazine, the pop diva confessed that she'll "enter into mommyhood" sometime next year, according to the BBC.

Aguilera told the magazine she intends to be a working mom, who like so many others will seek to "balance" her family and her career.

Luckily, she can count on husband Jordan Bratman for help. He's "so supportive and amazing through everything," she told the magazine. "He came with me on the last leg of the tour and he was my support system. ... I gush. I'm a lucky girl."

Pregnancy rumors had followed pop queen Christina Aguilera for months. In July, E! Online reported that the singer is expecting her first child.

Publicists for Aguilera and her husband, music executive Jordan Bratman, did not make any comments at the time.

Months ago, Page Six had reported that the songstress had been "telling friends" all about her baby news. Blogs have been making much of Aguilera breaking away from her usual skimpy fashions to wear bulkier clothing.

"It is so complicated because every week she is getting bigger," Cavalli said.

Britney Spears Missed 8 of 14 Drug Test Requests

2007-11-09T00:10:00.000+05:30

Britney Spears did not respond to eight of 14 random drug test requests, Kevin Federline's attorney said in court Thursday.

Alleging the singer lives in a "parallel universe," lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan reminded the court that the singer had been reprimanded three times by Commissioner Scott Gordon for failing to be reachable by phone.

"Mr. Federline doesn't want to take these children out of their mother's life, but what are we to do?" Kaplan said.

Spears's lawyer, Anne Kiley, called the current drug testing procedure "unconstitutional," adding that just because the singer may fail to respond to testing calls doesn't mean she's using drugs. Kiley also pointed out that Spears has passed multiple tests successfully.

Explaining why Spears frequently changes her phone number, Kiley said the singer's number often falls into the wrong hands.

When Commissioner Gordon stated that responding to a morning call wasn't an extreme request, Kiley shot back: "But you're not a pop star with a No. 1 album to promote." (Spears's new album Blackout is No. 2 on Billboard.)

Commissioner Gordon ordered both attorneys to reconvene at 10:30 a.m. to hammer out a new plan for testing.

Currently, Spears must submit to twice-weekly random drug and alcohol tests, and is required to give a urine sample within six hours of being called.

The drug testing facility is under court order to attempt to reach the singer three times within one hour. A missed test is considered a failed test.

On Oct. 30, Spears's visitation rights with her sons Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, were scaled back after her parenting coach was critical of the pop star.

Spears "rarely engaged with [her] children in either conversation or play" during their monitored time together, the coach testified last month.

Although the actress, 21, was sentenced to the mandatory minimum of four days in jail for her second DUI conviction, prosecutors agreed she could serve 10 days of community service in lieu of two days behind bars.

Lohan was also given credit for one day served from her July arrest, leaving a remainder of 24 hours in jail. She has until January to complete that portion of her sentence.

The actress – who recently finished a lengthy rehab stint at the Cirque Lodge in Utah – was also placed on three years probation and must complete an 18-month alcohol education program.

Tyra Banks is facing a tough time these days. The supermodel is said to be very "insecure" about her hair and refuses to spend the night with men because she doesn't want to remove her long fake locks in bed.

A source said, "Tyra is a confident woman for the most part, but she is really insecure about her hair. She doesn't want any guy to see her without her wigs or hair extensions.

"Tyra feels like guys are with her for her image that they see on TV and in magazines. If one wakes up without her glamorous hair, she's worried he may not call back!"

Meanwhile, the 33-year-old star has confessed she doesn't like wine, but orders it in public just to look sexy.

Tyra said, "Every now and then I'll order some wine at the table. I'll only take two sips, but I'll keep holding the glass because it makes me feel sexy, but I still don't drink it because it still tastes kind of nasty to me."

The chat show host believes she is lucky as her dislike for alcohol means she won’t end up in a rehab centre like other stars.

She said, "I feel like I've been very lucky because I don't really have an addictive personality. I'm not really an 'alcohol girl' and I'm definitely not a 'drug girl'."

"Paying for a funeral is a sensible thing to do - but not when you’re only 25!"

Britney Spears' Side Wants to Keep Case Sealed

2007-11-27T18:05:00.000+05:30

An attorney for Britney Spears asked a court commissioner Monday to keep county authorities from reviewing court filings in the pop star's child custody dispute, saying it would be best for her two young sons.

Among other issues addressed behind closed doors Monday was a new holiday visitation schedule for Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1. No details were released. The boys spent the night before Thanksgiving with their mother and Thanksgiving Day with their father.

Britney Spear's new obsession

Britney Spears is addicted to plastic surgery. The troubled pop star has reportedly become obsessed with improving her looks after deeming herself a 'fat pig' following her poor performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in September.

Britney wants to have multiple procedures, including a breast enlargement and liposuction.

A friend of the singer said, "Britney has already consulted at least three surgeons about new breast implants, a nose job, liposuction on her chin and Botox for her face. She sees no reason to stop, she constantly talks about getting work done."

Last month, one surgeon at Beverly Hills' Camden Aesthetic Associates, who Britney visited, declined to operate on the Toxic singer, saying she was a "high-risk patient".

A source said, "He didn't want to clear her for surgery because he didn't think he could trust what she'd put on her medical history."

Britney, 25, then headed straight to another clinic, where the surgeon agreed to give her collagen injections in her lips in a bid to stall her from getting any more work done.

The insider added to Life and Style Weekly magazine, "It was a stall tactic. They just wanted her out of the office."

Madonna in sheep trouble

2007-11-29T18:36:00.000+05:30

Pop icon Madonna has angered animal rights activists by dyeing her sheep in different colours. The multiple Grammy and Golden Globe award winner dyed the sheep on her country estate in blue, pink, yellow and green for a photo shoot in Vogue magazine.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals or RSPCA says the incident is an “irresponsible publicity stunt" and it would provoke more such incidents.

"Why is it necessary and what are they trying to prove?" the RSCPA spokesperson questioned Madonna's
recent animal-related activity. "It sends out the wrong message about how to use animals. Even if the dye
is safe for the animals, others might copy it with an unsafe dye."

The 49-year-old singer and her husband Guy Ritchie clarified the event by saying they were just paying homage to famous fashion and portrait photographer Cecil Beaton who used to live in their Ashcombe estate in Wiltshire during the 1930s-40s.

Another source claimed that Spears left the store without paying for a wig and that the singer was unhappy about having to pay for the goods.
