Kidnap

HALLE BERRY CAN TAKE CARE OF HERSELF

Seems like forever since we saw Halle Berry in a movie and we particularly love her playing “women in peril” so we’re looking forward to her new film Kidnap. She’s been promoting it all over New York and looking quite beautiful. It’s hard to believe she turns 51 this month. Halle says she works out almost every day and watches her diet because she’s diabetic and it helps her avoid insulin shots. AND her efforts obviously keep her looking very young….

HALLE BERRY COULDN’T LOOK BAD IF SHE TRIED

Looking adorable has always been easy for Halle Berry– she appeared at Comic-Con this weekend talking up her new movie Kidnap in her military green romper. (It’s difficult to believe she’s 50 years old!) Women love “Halle Berry in peril” films so we figure the movie will do okay. At Comic-Con Halle guzzled what she claimed was a whole glass of whiskey to prove she is NOT pregnant, as rumored. She looks happy-go-lucky lately so we assume she is between “man problems.”

THIS KIDNAPPING STORY IS STRANGER THAN FICTION

Imagine having your newborn baby stolen from the hospital and having her return as an adult 23 years later! The kidnapper in this shocking news event was just sentenced to a mere 12 years in prison and the story is being made into a Lifetime TV movie. Long story short: Ann Pettway disguised herself as a nurse and stole Carline White from the hospital, devastating her mother Joy White and father. The parents sued the hospital and got a settlement of $750,000 – fighting over the money contributed to their breaking up. Baby Carlina grew up haphazardly with her mentally deranged and drug addled abductor. When she realized she had no birth certificate, she became suspicious, researched online and learned that her real parents lived 45 minutes away. She was already damaged goods when she reunited with her mother Joy (played by Sherri Shepherd in the movie.) Imagine the psychological implications! Carlina was her mother’s flesh and blood but they had little in common- Carlina’s upbringing lacked education, family values, ethics. etc. And her lawyer pushed her to ask her mother about the settlement money! They are now estranged. Carlina’s mother said “My daughter found me, but I still haven’t found my daughter.” It’s a chilling story.
