Berry's arm, which had snapped while filming a struggle with Robert Downey Jr., was all healed. Of the cast she wore for much of the film, Berry admits, ``It was such a challenge to work around disguising a cast that I thought, 'This is either going to get in the way or its going to make people go, ``What the hell is she doing with her body? That's weird.'' ' ''

What's really weird is her next gig, ``Catwoman'' - she works at a cosmetics company and fashions a homemade cat costume of slashed leather pants; a bare, belted knit top; and a bandanna around her face with cat ears. Meow! Pfffft! Wearing the cat costume has definitely aroused Berry's feline fascination. She adopted a rescued tabby kitten from one of the film's cat trainers and named him Fig Newton The Fig Newton is a brand of fig bar (in Europe, fig roll), a soft, cake-like pastry filled with fig jam. A trademarked product of Nabisco, Fig Newtons originated in the United States and have since spread across the world. .

YOU SAY GOODBYE, AND I SAY HELLO KITTY: Fervent Hello Kitty fans Shannon Elizabeth, Marissa Ramirez (``General Hospital''), Carolina Bacardi (heiress to the rum fortune) and Daveigh Chase (the scary little girl who doesn't sleep in ``The Ring'') trekked to Vida Thursday to peek at the new Pink Head Hello Kitty accessories designed by Tarina Tarantino.

Celebs bid big on a silent auction of Kitty collectibles to benefit Ricky Martin's charity ``People for Children.'' Chase's mom bought her a Pink Head necklace. Elizabeth has decorated her spare room (OK, her dogs' room) with Hello Kitty toys and sheets on the bed. Her hubby, Joe Reitman, confessed, ``My office is all modern steel and glass, but I have this pink Hello Kitty phone that lights up when it rings.''

The new Pink Head already has a strong cult following: Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, Kelly Osbourne, Drew Barrymore, Alicia Silverstone, Madonna, Jennifer Aniston, Sara Michelle Gellar, Lisa Kudrow, Selma Blair, Claire Danes, Helena Bonham Carter, Halle Berry, Katie Holmes and Jessica Alba.

Diaz has been sporting her Pink Head necklace for months, first seen at the Kids Choice Awards. Nicky Hilton wears one often. Designer Tarantino has even dyed her hair hot pink and admits, ``I've been obsessed ob·sess
