“IT’S A HARD KNOCK LIFE FOR US”
16-month-old Nahla Aubry and her mom Halle Berry were photographed heading out for dinner to Sona in West Hollywood, CA on August 13, 2009. Today happens to be Halle’s birthday so perhaps it was an early birthday dinner?
Halle and Nahla weren’t so pleased to see the paparazzi. Ahh, the perils of being a celebrity : “A hard Knock life indeed…”
BCK Says: Yes, Halle is still on baby bump watch. Photographers had this to say about Halle: “Many rumors of Halle expecting her second child have been swirling around recently, and these photos do nothing to debunk them considering she’s very obviously using Nahla to block what could be a growing bump!”

Halle look very tired.

I think she looks more impatient with the paparazzi than tired. I would hate to have to face them every time I wanted to be out and about with my child. But hey, I wish I could look that tired. LOL

Nahla looks like both her parents!

Hmmm we shall see.

Paps…how annoying that must be

She looks fed up with the paparazzi constantly following her and taking picture of her and the baby.

I luv seeing pictures of Nahla. I hope Halle is pregnant again.

I hope Halle’s unhappiness is not rubbing off on Nahla, she always looking mad or sad. Next time try marriage and a mature man to have a child with.

she already tried marriage…

I must be reading the wrong stuff. I didn’t know that Halle is unhappy. Not now, anyway. She seems overjoyed to have her daughter. What are you reading? I sometimes feel that many people want Halle to be unhappy but I don’t understand why.
Flag this
Unhappiness? So she’s tired from doing whatever, is followed by the paps and you chalk that up to unhappiness in her relationship? Well done.

Why so much hate jannieboo? My GOD! “unhappieness rubbing off on Nahla”..YOU ARE CRAZY!!!! So if she married a not so good looking man (referencing your other post) with money and mature (I’m taking it you know Gab personally) Nahla would smile more in the cameras? I know you posting these comments for humor SAKE..Thank you for that!

No marriage is necessary (it’s overrated).

Marriage is a highly regarded institution throughout the world and is also an institution that has survived for centuries beginning way back when homosapiens began walking upright and expanded their brain power.
Marriage is not bad, it’s the people in the marriage that determine if it’s a marriage that will endure or head to divorce.
A good marriage with both people highly invested in it, can only enhance any relationship, in my opinion.

I think it’s more highly regarded in the United States than the world. Contrary to popular belief; America is not the world. LOL

Some ritual/form of marriage can be found in even the most remote parts of the world since the beginning of mankind until present. It can be goggled or otherwise researched for the proof.
It would be easier for you to name a country thatrecognizes marriage as a legal/religious institution than to off the top of yor head name one country that does not. More than likely those places would be underdeveloped or primative countries or societies.
People do think their lives in their tiny spaces in the U.S. and in their city is a microcism (sp) of the world, but I’m not one.
I’ve traveled abroad outside of the U.S. and marriage is legally recognized in many countries that I would travel to where I feel safe as an American traveling.
I’m not going to debate marriage, to each his own as far as I’m concerned.
There are two sayings about marriage when it comes to men and women,
1. Why buy the cow when the milk is free?
2. Why buy the pig just for a little weiner?
LOL!
But I’m not going to debate this because the fact is that where I live in the U.S. marriage is a legal institution that helped the Europeans generate and dominate wealth in American culture as we know it today.

I thought everyone involved in this subject for the purposes of this post are American citizens, so the American legal system of the U.S. is the one focused on here. (Halle, Nahla, Gabriel, you, myself, all American citizens.
I’m not sure about Gabe..he may have dual citizenship…I’ve never been interested enough in him to research his place of birth.
And of course I don’t know you, so I can’t speak for where you were born or have citizenship. I’ve learned from reading your posts you don’t like anyone assuming anything about you, so I won’t in this case.

It’s apparent that the constant pic taking is making Halle unhappy which affects her kid but it’s part of the job, so to speak. She needs another career if she wants peace.
As for the people commenting on her personal business: Mind YOUR bizness! No of y’all better be divorcees. From the way it’s put on here marriage solves all problems…NOT! LOL

WOW!
Will someone please tell me when does marriage fix all problems because I have yet to see it.

Thank you Sherley! Thats what I’m trying to understand myself.

Exactly what are the benefits of having bastard children exactly? Yet all of you anti-marriage pro-bastardizing women are the first ones to use “I’m a single mother” as a crutch as if being irresponsible makes you heroic. I give it to Halle she tried marriage and it didn’t work for her but I also don’t see what benefits and standards she’s providing for her daughter if she continues having out of wedlock children.

i hope halle’s not going through anything, having kids at her age must be stressful…
Flag this
Being able to afford the best of health care would make it much less stressful than with the average woman of her age. I think that many people mistake the fed up looks for the media; or they just hate thinking that she is happy.
Flag this
yeah i think having a child made her more protective, nahla dont need all them cameras in her face…
Flag this
Having kids at 18 is stressful as well. Or 24, when you’re doing it solo-pilot like most sisters these days. At least she’s having children when she has enough life experience and wisdom to share, rather than when 15 years ago when she only had youth and mistakes to impart.

I love Halle Berry. If she is pregnant and also being a hands on mama to a busy 16 month old, at age 42 she should be tired. But both of them are still gorgeous and Halle seems so down to Earth.
God knows, Halle can afford nannies, etc. but she looks like she wants to raise Nahla to be close to her as well as take on many of Mama’s characteristics.
Thanks Halle for allowing pictures of your child. You never sold the pictures since her birth to any magazines.

Halle suffers from type 2 Diabetes and the symptoms are fatigue among other problems physically. And as we age the symptoms tend to become more aggravated an debilitating.
That could be why she looks tired, too.
Flag this
Given that is true; I don’t see anything tired looking about her, more aggrevated. People don’t smile on a 24/7 clock. Please. Again, I wish I looked tired if I would look like Halle.

I don’t blame celebrities at all for selling photos to magazines. At least that way the money goes to them, their children, and whatever charities they choose to donate to instead of to the nosy, disrespectful, “get the shot at all costs” stalkers aka paparazzi who never leaves them alone. Celebrities should be able to live their lives in peace sometimes.

In my opinion, the fact that both of this child’s celebrity parents refuse to exploit their child by selling her pictures for money shows that they both have great character. Halle made a specific point after the baby’s birth to state no baby pictures of her baby for sale.
They understand that the child can’t say yet yes or no to having her pictures taken for money and that as her parents, they are responsible for making that determination.
This exemplifies to me integrity on the parents part.
Also, there are other ways to donate to charity other than selling your child’s picture for money. Juvenile diabetes is a charity that Halle Berry supports through her statements and actions and possibly through her own private charitable monetary donations…not from money acquired from PEOPLE or OK magazines in exchange for her baby’s pictures.

I want Halle to be happy. Good for her.

Halle shows wonderful mommy traits…And although it seems that Nahla never walks and Halle is clingy to her daughter SO WHAT! That just shows the bonding that they have thus far..I just love ITTTT!!!!

No one has mentioned the elephant in the room: Why in the hell is Halle so freakin’ beautiful?!? I’m sick of her making the rest of us mere mortals look bad. I’m gonna need her to share the location of the fountain of youth.

I LOVE IT! THANK YOU SO MUCH.

wow…everyone sure is funny here. the comments about her age are something. You’d think after 40 we all fall apart. Let me tell you young-ones here that think that, no! I’m 39 and have a 2 year old boy. I think Halle and the rest of us older first-time mothers do quite well in our looks and care for our children. Don’t knock someone older than you because believe me you’ll not be 23, 24, 25 or whatever your age might be forever. We were once there and I must tell you I have more appreciation for who I am now than I ever did then. I’m sure Halle does too. The fact that she’s not smiling in the picture goes to the fact that its an unwelcomed picture while she is trying to live what I’m certain must be a rather difficult life away from the paps camera lense. I’m sure that if we had a camera focused on our every move we’d have some pretty messed up pics too. Go Halle!

Well said!! People are always looking for the negative…glad to read someone who has the mindset to see the positive and not read into a simple picture.

They should leave this child alone..goodness! VULTURES!

Halle HATES the paparazzi…and it shows every time she has her picture taken……..oooooo, if looks could kill!

I don’t feel sorry for her. If she wants to avoid the paps she needs to stop going to where they hang out.
Flag this
Is that how it works? Celebrities purposely hang out to get their picture taken?
I thought paparazzi get paid for procuring photos of high interest subjects. The paps have usually hunted the celebrity down for the photo.
Unless a celebrity is like a “D” list celebrity ( which Academy Award winner Halle Berry is not), they don’t have to chase photographers for photo ops.
I guess some people didn’t feel sorry for poor Princess Diana either after she was killed with the paparazzi tailing her.

They hang out right outside her house. The only way to avoid them is to become a shut-in, and then you’d hear “Halle Berry Goes Nuts”.

If any celeb is in a paprazzi hot spot like Mr. Chow, The Ivy, etc ., then I agree that I don’t feel sorry for them (well maybe just a little). I’m not sure if Sona is one of these hot spots though?

Helen, are you serious about that comment? The PAPS are EVERY DAMN where!! Is she suppose to be a victim of her home? NO!! How do you propose she pulls this off? Dont go to work, dont shop, when Nahla starts school then what? Let me guess Home School right…The lady cant even enjoy vacation! They’re EVERYWHERE Helen!! When Nahla was an infant, Halle was in her own backyard..explain that shot please. The PAPS can get BIG bucks for these photos… I guess they don’t feel sorry either… just like you!

Maybe you don’t understand. Halle is the star. She doesn’t go where the media is, they find her. What real star in heaven’s name do you think would take their baby in arms and go looking for the press. Get real! you obviously have Halle confused with a “wannabe”.

SHE LOOKS FED UP OF THE PAPS BUT THAT WHAT YOU GET WHEN U BECOME FAMOUS YOU SIGNED THE CONTRACT… YOU HAVE NO PRIVACY AND WHE UR MAKING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WHILE DOCTORS AND LAWYERS AND HARD WORKING PEOPLE GO TO COLLEGE AND MAKE LESS… YOU SHOULD’NT HAVE A PROBLEM BEING EXPOSED I DON’T FEEL BAD OVER THAT!!!
BUT SHE LOOKS SEXY AND HER DAUGHTERS GORGEOUS!!!

She always holds Nahla like that. So I wouldn’t put much stock in the way she is holding her child. With that said… she could be and is taking a page out of JHud’s book and keeping her pregnancy to herself( and family).

Married 10 years is good (family wise) for encouragement (especially my encouragement), especially since a person can simply choose to stay single and be happy. I have been married before (to a woman who has two children) and that only lasted four months (I am not a person that seeks to belittle). I must work to maintain myself. We also know about these “Legal Separation” issues (the United States Divorce policy is very unjust as the couple or the woman must bare with years of torture, Islamically the woman has what is called an Iddah period – 3 menstrual cycles, three months if past the years of child bearing, or until she gives birth of the child on where she is not permitted to be involved with another man – unless there was a khula request where she has the willingness to give back the dowry and the man has no other option but to divorce her) along with these name changes (the woman is not required to take the last name of the man she marries – Islamically, the man is the Imam of the Household). This is also in defense of Antoine Fuqua who chose to marry Lela Rochon. Not being married does not make you a homosexual (this is from a man who was married and who is living a single lifestyle that only desires women) nor does it break the woman (although fragile, it is very difficult to break the woman and a broken woman is much more difficult to live with than the typical woman) or make her a lesbian (I don’t see her desiring any women). This couple should be very secure (safe) as a homosexual is a man who practises lusts on other men (he is clearly involved in sodomy acts and he is a major harm to mankind and must be destroyed for such senseless acts), while a lesbian is a woman who is seeks to engage in sexual relations with other women (this is downgraded to adultery as it is clear that the women are clearly no severe sexual threat but they are more masculine appearing and pose a threat to other women and at times some men who seek what is permissible). Also, the woman is the tilth for the man (the only permissible enterance is the entrance for procreation, he is strongly commanded to avoid the anus as he is forbidden to engage in this). Rape is when the man forces the woman into unwanted sexual relations (this is Islamically regarded as adultery on the man and not the woman, however the woman is obligated to bare the child from rape), however the woman is known to play with the sentiments of man (which can cause the man to fall into some form of cowardice) and force her will upon him (the woman is known to curse too much along with seeking her way rather than the legislated way). This means that the woman has become much more aggressive than the man (especially since the women outnumber men and even with the age flexibility for marriage — it is permissible for the man to be much older than the woman which is generally viewed as traditional, and it is also permissible for the woman to be much older than the man which is generally viewed as mature, there is no reason for such senseless behaviours or unwanted forcings) which is much more scarier than a HOLLYWOOD HORROR FILM along with there being the tendency of putting the man into a defensive position (this generally leads to hospital stays due to the threat of imprisonment or fear of falling into criminal acts). Also, a man with a foot fetish (he desires this part of the body while it is not normally or usualy associated as sexual) is also not a threat to women (even with some being known to rape, stalk, or steal someone’s shoes) or people practising certain Religions (some people view this as a form of submission to a person, however this can be controlled and while often viewed as an obsession, it can basically be viewed as mere – so what if a man kisses, licks or sucks on his wife’s feet and toes). Depression can happen to anyone (whether married or single) however this is more of an emotional disfuncion which at times needs medical attention (from a doctor). Everyone also has rights to proper protection, which includes those who haven’t reached the age for marriage (such as young children and in many cases some teenagers) those who are intimidated, and those who appear to be intimidating. This is not to prevent a person from seeking marriage via the internet (as this person is not free-mixing to the extent where he or she loses the trust of the other) even with all of its deceptions. The biggest threat to the general marriage seeking community is those insecurities (which generally is rooted from hypocrisy – also due to a person not fighting to maintain some form of decency and uprightness) and while there is a serious grave issue on those that are single (it is generally more difficult to access the dead bodies of those who didn’t marry just to give them their burial rights – this is in HADITH and TAFSIR of the Qur’an), they are generally pulled in by those who face social issues (which is generally amongst those who are married – especially when faced with hypocrisy). And Yes! There are married couples who don’t like each other (which is somewhat threatening to the marriage). Hatred (widespread hate – generally leads to more injustices) or hate crimes is not permitted, and people involved in such must be separated and isolated or removed until such disappears. Jealousy is somewhat of a warning sign (against those who are discouraged) yet it is also a major house shaker (there are too many crimes that occur due to unwarranted jealousy). Celebrities (whether Muslim or not) also have major roles in communities and at times must portray the “unthinkable” mainly to protect those that are weak and to bring sense back to the common people. This is only a PATIENCE spread (especially since we have many trials [called FITAN -- the plural of FITNAH]) and this teaches those who are considered as “less fortunate” (or some of those people who choose not to become Celebrities) good conduct and peace-making instincts (that the human being by nature has).
