Halle Berry
Six months after giving birth, Halle Berry is gracing the cover of Esquire's annual "Sexiest Woman Alive" issue.
Reacting to her "official" status as a red-hot momma, Berry tells the mag, "I don't know exactly what it means, but being 42 and having just had a baby, I think I'll take it."
Berry — who mimics Bill Clinton's famous circa-2000 Esquire cover pose, though minus the suit pants and shirt — says, "Sexiness is a state of mind.... I know damned well I am sexier now than I used to be."
There's also a bit where she boasts about now having "better orgasms than when I was 22," but I shan't bore you with details.

It may be old news that Baby Berry was born and given the name Nahla Ariela Aubry (yes, as in the female cub in The Lion King), but did you know that this new mom spent over 60 grand to make sure everything in her multiple nurseries is organic? Rumor is Berry is super-intense about the whole green thing for the babe—hope this kid enjoys the taste of wheatgrass because there’s going to be a whole lot of it in her future!

Halle Berry is repenting for letting slip on The Tonight Show an off-color joke. An audience member at Friday's taping tells the New York Post that Berry — while showing Jay distorted images of herself using her iMac's Photo Booth tool — suggested that a large-nosed version "looks like my Jewish cousin." (Cue awkward silence.) Berry later asked Jay to clip the quip, and he did, but her gaffe came to light anyway. Says the tab's source, "She should be ashamed of herself."And she is. Berry phoned Page Six to explain how the joke actually originated with a Jewish assistant who made the "cousin" observation just before the taping. "I so didn't mean to offend anybody," she says. "It was just supposed to be a silly segment. I am so sorry, and I apologize." You mean you're zayt moykhl?

But for America's Next Top Model contestant Jaeda, who spent an entire cycle weeping over her cute pixie-'do makeover, the pic will surely fall into the category of "horror."

In this Sunday's Parade, Halle Berry reveals that in the wake of her stormy marriage to baseball player David Justice, she grew so distraught that she sought to end her life. "I was sitting in my car, and I knew the gas was coming," she recalls, "when I had an image of my mother finding me."Thinking about all that her mother had sacrificed for her kids, Berry realized, in the nick of time, that to go through with the act "would be an incredibly selfish thing."
