Halle Berry stays home, shops online


“My guilty pleasure is very boring, but I buy baby clothes online,” Halle told Harper’s Bazaar, “Nahla can’t wear all the clothes I’ve bought, and we don’t go anywhere because I can’t deal with the paparazzi. Gabriel’s always like, ‘She doesn’t even leave the house! Halle, you’ve got to stop.’”

I like that story and I believe her. You get a photo of pretty little Nahla once in awhile. You sure don't see her out every day being paraded around like a dancing monkey or Suri Cruise. It's just proof of what I've said all along, you can keep your kid out of the flashbulbs if you want. I don't know why, but, it makes me happy to think of Halle at her computer buying baby clothes and waiting for the UPS packages like everyone else. None of us really know what Nahla wears. Halle and Gabriel take their own pictures of her.

I'm a little envious of her. She seems so calm and balanced. Sounds like a great mom/wife.

Thats a pretty baby right there. I admire her that she keeps her daughter out of the limelight but she should get her out at least a little more often, babies can go stir-crazy too!

But the point your overlooking is she feels like they are stuck in the house & can't go anywhere because she can't deal with the paps.

So in the long run aren't both types of parents creating some kind of screw up for their kids to deal with. One group will whine and bitch and blame all their problems on having circled the globe 5 times by their 6th birthday and always been on the move, and the other group will whine and bitch and blame all their problems on having been stuck behind gated communities, screened windows and got to do or go nowhere like all the other kids. The world thrust on some and the others a lonely life of exile, bothed blamed on "celebrity".

Neither of the parents are totally in the right or wrong. Maybe a little more balance and some stiff laws for paps when minors are present.

Amen re: legal restraints on paparazzi!! They are way past the boundaries of common decency. Anything to get "THE SHOT" to sell. While I understand the need to feed our insatiable desire for more info on our "stars" I am disgusted and angry when I see these heartless money grubbers pushing their camera into some little baby's face! Piss off, paps! They drive these people to the brink of madness and then profit from the resulting pictures...in any other facet of society that would get you arrested! Rant completed...

That is a beautiful mom and baby girl picture. You can tell the baby isn't faced with paps every day screaming in her face.
