BERRY IN BOSNIA FOR CHRISTMAS TO ENTERTAIN U.S. TROOPS.Byline: Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith Halle Berry Halle Maria Berry (IPA: /ˈhæliː ˈbɛriː/) (born August 14, 1966[1]) is an American actress. will be spending Christmas Eve in Sarajevo, taking part in a celebration for U.S. troops in Bosnia - part of a seven-day goodwill tour she's making at the invitation of the U.S. Navy. Berry (who also will be visiting troops in Italy and on an aircraft carrier berthed at Cannes, France) informed this column shortly before her departure, ``I'm excited, nervous, anxious - all of that.'' She's also delighted that she's getting a three-week holiday hiatus from Warren Beatty's ``Tribulations'' picture. Of the extended break she says, ``That's one of the perks of working with Warren.'' The film's plot has been shrouded in mystery, but Halle now notes that ``Tribulations'' is a comedy and has Warren playing ``a senator who has a nervous breakdown nervous breakdown n. A severe or incapacitating emotional disorder, especially when occurring suddenly and marked by depression. nervous breakdown four days before the primary. I play a character who's ambiguous until the end.'' Do they connect romantically? ``I could lie and say no,'' says Halle, ``but the answer is really yes.'' Hey, we wouldn't expect it any other way - Warren wrote the script. On the personal side Tea Leoni, whose ``The Naked Truth'' series makes the move to NBC NBC in full National Broadcasting Co.

She and her beau will be ringing in the New Year in Mexico with some friends. Tea, whose romance with Chris Thompson
Chris Thompson (also known as Chris Hamlet Thompson , the former executive producer of her series, generated more gossip headlines than either of them wanted, tells this column that that chapter in her life is closed, and this time she doesn't want to go into details about the man in her life. ``I don't like to talk about who I'm squeezing,'' she says. ``I will say he's not in the business - most definitely! - and that he's been my best friend for 15 years. I never expected things to turn out this way.'' She hopes it works out and that she and Best Friend will marry. She also hopes to have ``children, lots and lots of children. Like 20. Doesn't that sound like the ignorant statement of a woman who's never had a child?'' The 30-year-old actress has been married and divorced. She was, she says, ``one of those young brides whose greatest reason to marry was to be able to say I was a Mrs. - a reason that came around and bit me in the butt.''

So far, he hasn't gotten any negative response to his portrayal, but that could be because Boatman gets invaluable tips from ``a gay man who works behind the scenes - one of our technical guys, who actually is a gay activist.'' Boatman, who also stars in George Clooney's coming ``Peacemaker'' film, says he's come to realize from his setside source that ``it takes a lot of energy to confront people about things all the time. It's sort of a constant confrontation mode.'' |
