THE ESSENCE OF HALLE BERRY
Academy Award-winning actress, Halle Berry graces the cover of ESSENCE magazine (for the seventh time!) for their annual Hollywood issue. The 42-year-old actress talks about her two greatest loves - partner Gabriel Aubry and her almost one year old daughter, Nahla.
Halle on her baby girl Nahla:
"When I looked at the stick and saw I was pregnant … I was so happy. I thought I knew love before, but I’ve never felt anything like this." Although Halle loves working, it takes a great script to tear her away from Nahla. "A film has to be really special for me to leave the house. I have to love it. I mean really, really love it."
Halle is head over heels in love with Gabriel, whom she's been with for three years:
"I feel more married now than I did in any of my actual marriages. We live the truth of that and that’s more important than a piece of paper." Will it be forever? She doesn't know but says, "All I know is that at this moment, it feels fantastic."

COVER GIRL
“The first two albums were more … painful,” she tells Billboard over lunch in Los Angeles. “It’s a different me this time: a young woman who’s still growing and finding myself, exploring life through different routes musically and in other areas.

Jada Pinkett-Smith covers this week’s issue of JET magazine and talks family:
Petite powerhouse Jada Pinkett Smith may be the wife of actor and entertainer Will Smith, but there’s far more to this talented actress than meets the eye. In addition to her most important roles as mother and wife, she also wears many hats‹including writer, singer, producer and director‹to showcase her artistic diversity. As a Black woman I’ve really been trying to craft a line in my creative life to show that we can do anything, she says about her outlets of creative expression. I feel like that’s an important element to show because people will oftentimes try to keep us Œin our place, she told Jet magazine. Now that acting jobs for the Smith children are becoming more frequent, Pinkett Smith vows that there will be no box-office competition in her household. If this is really going to be our family business, we’re not doing that. Will was already [premiering] on Willow’s [premiere day] for American Girl with Hancock and I was like, Baby, for real? We have to stay united. You can’t allow the business to come between family.

Blige and Usher since she was 18, and is currently working on Britney Spears’ upcoming album Circus. “Britney already made a comeback!” says Keri, who also wrote the 2007 hit “Gimme More.” “That was a top 10 record.” But now Keri, who’s spending an increasing amount of time in the Big Apple, is finally set to drop her own sure-to-be-a-hit album, In a Perfect World…, in early November.
