Black Church Barrios: African American Churches Adapt To…
Could Whitney's Estate Lead To Family Problems?
While many sites are reporting that Oscar winner Halle Berry was replaced by actress Katherine Heigl in the upcoming romantic comedy 'New Year's Eve,' BlackVoices.com has learned that Berry pulled out for other reasons.
"Halle Berry was forced to pull out of a film production in New York this week due to pending custody litigation involving her daughter. She has attempted to resolve these custody issues amicably with her daughter's father, Gabriel Aubry, directly, but given his lack of cooperation, Halle has no choice but to seek swift judicial intervention," Berry's rep told BlackVoices.com.
"Halle has serious concerns for her daughter's well-being while in the care of her father for any extended period of time and is prepared to take all necessary steps to protect her. Halle has always made the needs and safety of her daughter her first priority and, both while Halle and Gabriel were a couple and since their breakup, Halle has only acted in her daughter's best interest."
Berry, 44, and Canadian model Aubry, 35, have a 2-year-old daughter named Nahla.
After four years together, the couple split last April.
Directed by Garry Marshall, 'New Year's Eve' is about couples and singles whose lives intertwine one New Year's Eve in New York.
The film stars Jessica Biel, Jon Bon Jovi, Abigail Breslin, Ice Cube, Robert De Niro, Josh Duhamel, Zac Efron, Ashton Kutcher, Seth Meyers, Lea Michele, Sarah Jessica Parker, Michelle Pfeiffer, Hilary Swank and Sofia Vergara.
The movie is scheduled for release on Dec. 9.
In the meantime, Berry's latest film, 'Frankie and Alice,' which garnered her a Golden Globes nomination for her performance as a woman suffering with multiple personality disorder in early-1970s Los Angeles, has been pushed back from its Feb. 4 release date. It's new date is undetermined at this point.

@Pepyone - Well you know even the best men and the best marriages can go "bad" so you can't beat yourself up too much about how your marriage turned out. Unfortunately none of us has a crystal ball to see into the future so just because you marry someone,have a child by them and think it's going to be okay life happens and sometimes things just ain't 4eva. At least you had the wisdom to walk away from a bad marriage unlike a lot of women I know who sit and even die in bad marriages.

If Man after Man & Bad relationship after bad relationship seem to follow Halle everywhere she goes then the problem is Her! Somebody should have thrown her butt in jail after that DUI hit and run she caused.
Halle is a bonafide nutcase hiding behind her beauty! If she was not attractive people would have realized what a loon she was years ago.

I'm not a stuffy person, or religious nut; but I say all of these out of wedlock children being born are not good for the kids. People (including celebrities) should consider the kids they would bring into the world before having kids without marriage.

When blogging folks stick to the to issue at hand. This whole custody battle is not an issue about race...it's about control. As an African American woman I've actually been embarrassed by Halle's statements and actions over the years. It seems as if there has always been some type of issue with every man she's been with and this says a lot about how she chooses men for relationships. Her intentions were clear after her divorce from Benet when she stated on Oprah that the next man she got involved with was going to be asked straight up if he wanted to be a father. She was quoted after dating Micheal Ealy that she was "done with men" and then she's on a national show stating what she would expect from the next one. WTH? Her mistake was that she allowed a man to father her child who wants to be actively involved in the child's life. Whether he's black, white, alien is irrelevant. A man who wants to be in his child's life deserves some respect. The man followed Halle to another country to care for their daughter while she filmed a movie for goodness sakes! I do believe Halle has issues with men and perhaps became angry when the relationship ended. The man was honest enough in an interview to say he was attracted to other women and felt the relationship should end. Perhaps he saw things in Halle he began to dislike as well? Funny how few of her past "loves" have not talked about what it's like to be involved with her. We always hear her stories about their shortcomings. Now she wants Aubrey to lie down and disappear so she can have the child she has obssessed over. If she was really through with men she could've just gone to a sperm bank and screened donors and had as many kids as her body would've allowed her to have...it worked for Jodie Foster! The dust hasn't settled on this last relationship and now she's already latched on to another man. Wonder how long it will be before she starts talking about his issues. I encourage all of you to look at all sides of the story and don't just believe the female because she's "a sister being wronged by a white man." This woman talked about Aubrey like he was a God when she was on Oprah. Now she's saying he called her a "n*****" during their relationship? What woman with pride endures that type of foolishness in a relationship? Sigh...I expect better from her and her "camp." Halle - it's okay to be upset but try to maintain some dignity in this mess and accept how you may have added insult to this chaos. And just know that a man who fathers a child with you may actually want to be involved with that child's life and you have no right to kill that father/child relationship unless you can prove without a shadow of a doubt that it will be detrimental to everyone involved!
