- The Halle Berry/Gabriel Aubry custody battle is opening discussions about what it means to be black. In an upcoming interview with Ebony magazine, Halle says of her daughter: “I feel she’s Black. I’m Black and I’m her mother, and I believe in the one-drop theory.” The one-drop rule started out as tool of oppression, but became a theory embraced by many black people as an inclusionary method of claiming folks. But damn, this poor kid is about to turn 3 and doesn’t need all this drama. [TMZ]
- Halle also tells Ebony: “Being a mother is probably the most important thing in my life right now. Career is important, but nothing really supersedes my roles as a mother. That’s the most important thing I’m going to do in this life at this point.” [Radar Online]

Says an eyewitness, “It was bizarre. The boot [UK for car trunk] was popped open before the pair emerged. Neither seemed the worse the wear for drink when they climbed in and they acted as if it was the most normal thing.” Carry on then! Pip pip! Cheers! [The Sun]
