Halle Berry In Harper’s Bazaar

LOS ANGELES - It didn’t take long for Halle Berry to get back in tip-top shape after giving birth to her first child 13 months ago.

But don’t be fooled — regaining her knockout physique at the age of 41 wasn’t easy.

“Having a baby takes so much from you. It’s the most glorious thing you’ll ever do, but the aftermath is not so glorious!” Berry joked in the May issue of Harper’s Bazaar. “So now I’m having to exercise, eat a little bit differently, take a lot more vitamins.”

And while embracing a healthy lifestyle is nothing new for the Oscar winner, she said she has a hard time believing other stars who say they don’t have to work to maintain a svelte figure.



“God bless them if they’re telling the truth. It’s questionable if they are,” she added. “I always had to diet. I’m diabetic, so it’s a lifestyle for me anyway just to stay healthy and not end up in the hospital.”

However, Berry did reveal one guilty pleasure.

“I like Doritos,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I’m usually watching ‘The Biggest Loser’ eating Doritos.”

Since welcoming her daughter, Nahla Ariela Aubry, with partner Gabriel Aubry in March 2008, Berry has taken a step back from her career to focus on her family.

“I used to work a lot because I had nothing better to do. What I’ve learned, especially by having a baby, is that you can’t bring that stuff home anymore,” she explained. “For example, I was alone filming ‘Monster’s Ball.’ I was married to someone else, and he wasn’t really around much. Thank God that was only a 20-day shoot.”

As far as her next film, “Nappily Ever After,” Berry will be required to undergo quite a transformation – she shaves her head on camera — and no makeup or Hollywood magic will be involved.

“I’m scared to death,” she admitted. “I just hope my reaction fits into the story. If it’s uncontrollable screaming, it might be a different type of movie.”
But when it comes to her life away from the camera, Berry said she’s right where she wants to be

“No. I’m done,” she said, when asked if she would ever get married again. “I happened to find a person who feels done too, and he’s never been married before. So it works.”

While marriage is off the cards, are Berry and Aubry done expanding their family? Maybe not.

“My pregnancy was amazing. I was happy that whole time, I felt good. I had energy, I felt like Superwoman,” she continued. “I wish I could feel like that for the rest of my life, that’s how fantastic it was.”

Shilpa Shetty is not getting married this October

This week there has being lots of speculation in tinsel town, for example Shilpa Shetty to marry her boy friend Raj Kundra in October but its not true as the marriage date is on the cards but not this October.

We spoke to Shilpa Shetty’s close source,

"It's wrong news that she is getting married this October with Raj Kundra. She is busy with the IPL and latter on with her films and her production house. She had told the media that she is planning to get married after October and media just made this news about her marriage."

To make it clear Shilpa Shetty clears her stand about her marriage,

"I got to know that I was getting married this October from the media. Just to clear the record in an interview that I did in London, I just said that I am looking forward to getting married sometime after October and haven’t thought of a month or a date.

I will be more than happy to make an official announcement the day we are ready for marriage but for now the congratulatory calls can be kept on hold."

Kareena Replace Aishwarya in Filmfare's power list

Kareena Kapoor is excited after replacing Aishwarya Rai in Filmfare's power list. The actress says the position is both flattering and scary as it comes with a lot of responsibilities


Kareena, who was seen in last year's hit 'Golmaal Returns', admits the power comes not just from the movies, but also the products that one endorses.
'But I make sure the products reflect my personality. I'm endorsing 10 brands. Saif and I are endorsing just one brand together. We're going easy on signing together,' she said

Q: It's quite an honour to zoom to the top 10 of the power list and to be the only woman there.
A: It's flattering. And it's scary. Lots of responsibilities. My power comes from my honesty to myself and to my work. I've always done things that come naturally from my heart. It's amazing that I'm in the power list although I've never applied much thought to the process of getting there. I'm all heart, as you well know. At the end of the day, being true to myself is very important.

Q: Earlier Aishwarya Rai was in the Top 10 list.
A: Yes, I know. Everyone has a chance to be in a certain position. I think Aishwarya has had a great innings. I think it's a great honour to be where she was in the power list. Power equations in the entertainment industry change minute by minute. I'm definitely going to try my best to hold that position.
The position makes me feel very responsible. I want to keep doing the kind of work that will keep me in that list. Last year I was seen in a successful film 'Golmaal Returns' where I didn't have a pivotal role. Strangely audiences expect me to take centre stage all the time.

Q: How much of this power comes in a package with beau Saif Ali Khan?
A: We can't deny he's also one of the hottest actors in the industry. I think we are blend of looks and spirit. Saif and I are very alike. He also follows his heart and is very honest in what he does. Whether it's his professional or personal life, he comes clean.

Q: So will you continue to be known as Kareena Kapoor after marriage?
A: I haven't thought of it. Kareena Kapoor Khan sounds good. I leave the decision to Saif.

Q: Did (close friend) Amrita Arora's marriage make you wishful for your own?
A: I am with Saif constantly. For us, marriage is just a piece of paper.
