High-Maintenance Halle?Halle Berry may be enjoying the warm embrace of a man who's just as pretty as she is, but has she also been indulging in some icy behavior? The Oscar winner, 39, who is currently hot and heavy with chiseled model Gabriel Aubry, 30, is accused of channeling her inner diva on two recent occasions.
The Boston Herald says there was some behind-the-scenes drama when Berry turned up at Harvard on Thursday to accept the Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year honors. Not only did the "bored" actress purportedly cut short a tour of the tree-lined campus, but she -- or at least one her staffers -- had a problem with the prom-like color of the limo that arrived to ferry her to a lunch event.
"Her publicist said Halle doesn't drive in white limos, only black," an eyewitness claims to the paper. "So they tried to get a black limo to come pick her up at the restaurant, but they couldn't find a black limo. And finally, Halle was so sick of waiting, they left ... in the white limo."
There have also apparently been some transportation issues in Manhattan, where Halle is starring opposite Bruce Willis in "Perfect Stranger." According to the New York Post, she and Aubry exhibited a "healthy sense of entitlement" while hailing a cab recently.
An annoyed onlooker complains to the paper that Berry's beefcake had a taxi wait several minutes for them as they chit-chatted with some acquaintances in front of an eatery, causing traffic to back up on the block.
"Horns are honking, drivers are screaming out their windows, it was mayhem!" alleges the bystander. "Finally, Gabriel and Halle walk hand-in-hand over to the cab to get in, but not before she held up her hand with a look of disgust on her face to all the honking cars. Like to say, 'Wait!' It was so obnoxious ..."
In Berry's defense, none of this allegedly demanding behavior was on display as she gamely played along with the traditional ribbing that accompanies the Pudding Pot honor. She not only wrote, "I will not make 'Catwoman II,'" four times on a blackboard, but she shook her groove thing to the Sir Mix-a-Lot classic "Baby Got Back" and even planted a smooch on a very surprised Ivy League performer.
And in response to barbs about the possible ersatz nature of her so-called "titillating" and tremendous talents, Halle firmly took hold of said talents and avowed (via the Boston Globe), "If I took my bra off, you'd see how real they are."
More proof that she's an idiot. 😉
