Halle Berry is one of those strange kind of actors that in one movie can totally stink the joint out (Catwoman, her role in X-Men Die Another Day) and then turn around and give you a performance that totally blows your pants off with how good she can be.
Well, she seems to have a romantic comedy on the way in which she will apparently pull a Natalie Portman and shave the old noggin. The good folks over at JoBlo give us the following:
Halle Berry has decided to shave her own perfectly groomed Hollywood A-list hair for an upcoming romantic comedy tentatively titled NAPPILY EVER AFTER. In it, she’ll star as a woman whose hair is falling out but rather than have it be an embarrassingly slow process, she decides to cut it all off and show the world she’s prepared for all the “pinhead” and “qball” jokes they can lob at her.
Now, I’m not sure WHY she loses her hair. Is she a cancer patient? Is it some other less serious medical condition? Seems like an odd topic for a “romantic comedy”… but maybe that’s a good thing. How many new ideas actually every get tried in romantic comedies anyway?
But man, I HATE the idea of Halle Berry bald. She’s FINALLY getting her hair looking really good again after YEARS of that dreadful short hair cut of hers. Oh well… our loss.
Rosie, she isn’t a black woman. She is as much a black woman as she is a white woman. So her being the leading lady of a Bond film has nothing to do with her colour. It only has to do with her “acting” ability. Which she is lacking in. Is there anything wrong with a black woman being the leading lady in a bond film? Absolutly not, as long as she gets the roll because she is a good actor.

There was nothing wrong with Halle Berry’s performances in X-MEN and CATWOMAN. And there was nothing especially wrong with her performance in DIE ANOTHER DAY. Perhaps you just can’t deal with the idea of a black woman as the leading lady in a Bond film.
She is a horrible actress. She was by and far one of the worst posible choices for Storm in the X-Men movies. And she is NOT atractive at all. There are many “black” actrices who are better then her. And I only put the word black in quotes because I really don’t give a crap what colour they are, if they are a good actor they they are a good actor. She isn’t. And she isn’t even fully black. She is I believe half white as well. So how can she be the premire black actress, when she is half white?
Some other site said this movies is based on a novel, but I haven’t seen anything about the book yet. Maybe that will explain why she is loseing her hair in the movie? It honestly just sound like yet another pile of crap comeing out of hollywood. When was the last time a really good movie was even made. Oh yeah, Serenity.
“then turn around and give you a performance that totally blows your pants off with how good she can be.”
I’m still waiting for this performance.
She’s gone Brittney Spears.

She’s already using the hair issue to promote the movie. She was all over Entertainment Tonight the other night yapping on for a whole 2 minute interview, which should have been about her latest shitty thriller movie, about her fucking hair.
thank u meli….i agree 100%
Personally, I think she’s way overrated as an actress and the only I’ve seen her in that thought was worthwhile was her HBO movie. Everything else is either ‘eh’ or horrible.
I definitely didn’t think she deserved to the win the oscar for Monster’s Ball – she was overrated as was the movie.
I thought the Academy was a disgrace for giving an award for a part and deliberately overlooking many more degnified parts. Seems to be a selective myopia the Academy suffers from every awards season.
yea that swordfish thing was pretty pathetic….that scene didn’t do more to make the movie any better…does anyone think she deserved the oscar for monster’s ball?
I hope she doesn’t use the fact that she is going to shave her hair off as a means to promote the film. She used the fact that the she went topless in Swordfish to promote the film which I found pathetic.
Absoluely no Easter candy for Gio and the int’ friends. While Berry did stink in Catwoman due more to story, concept and execution (there were other bad-and worse-things than her); I strongly, strongly disagree that her role as Storm in the X-Men films was bad. I also thought she was great in Gothika as well. I’m looking foward to see her upcoming flick with Bruce Willis.
She was fine in Die Another Day as well (not as good as say, Michelle Yeoh, but okay) and it’s great to see her tackle on other roles. Isn’t it sort of wierd how everyone loves her to death when she’s in a drama? Put her in a comedy or a sci-fi and everyone says she’s horrible. Strange indeed.
LOL! All this time I thought Beyonce was the “premiere black actress.” For my money I’d prefer Vivica Fox, Angela Bassett or Thandie Newton get more press and more casting preference.
damn she is overrated….i dont think ive ever been impressed with anyone of her roles except that HBO movie about that singer….she was bad in the x-men movies and worse in die another day “i think i got the thrust of it” sigh…..she is very beautiful but it kinda pisses me of that the premire black actress isn’t….that good of an actress….and this movie sounds as bad as her movie coming out with bruce willis…..
“She’s gonna look lke one of those kids in those commercials about the kids in third-world countries”
No more than Natalie Portman or Sigourney Weaver did when they went bald.
I’d change that “tentative” title if I were them, expecially with Don Imus recent remarks and the firestorm that’s now ensued.
And Halle was just fine in X-Men and Die Another Day.
And if you’re gonna do this, at least do it for a GOOD movie. Nat P in V For Vendetta had a reason behind it. This shit just sounds like……well, shit!
She’s gonna look lke one of those kids in those commercials about the kids in third-world countries. You know those pics of kids with flies in their eyes and shit like that. Ugh.
