Halle Berry Is Aretha Franklin’s Choice For Movie Biopic

Published on January 14, 2011 by Craig Kell   ·   She recently rejected the option of playing Oprah Winfey in a biopic but now Oscar winning actress Halle Berry is being tipped to play the role of soul singing legend Aretha Franklin in a film version of her life.
Franklin spoke to chat show host Wendy Williams via telephone link on Williams’s show (reported by MTV) and revealed that the first draft of the script was being made while Berry was in negotiations to take on the part. Looks like this could be a potential ‘real deal’:
“Halle Berry is my pick. There’s a young Aretha that has yet to be named, but for the last four years, we’ve been talking about the film, and I have had a number of offers. Unfortunately, they were not good offers. Now, we have something on the table. They have all of the financing on one project and the second project, and he’s in the process of writing things for me to approve on the tele-film.”
If the film does eventually go ahead it could lead to another award-baity role for Berry who has been mostly down with her films recently, though upcoming drama Frankie & Alice should offer some resistance from her critics and gain her the acclaim that won her the Oscar for Monster’s Ball in 2001. But when it comes to playing Aretha Franklin, she’ll really have to play the role well and gain the R.E.S.P.E.C.T from the soul legend!

Drink of the Week: Halle Berry at The Cellar

Drink of the Week: Halle Berry at The Cellar

IMG_0501.jpg

Since Fullerton's the Cellar is one of OC's finest dining establishments, well-known for its extensive wine list, its staff could theoretically get a pass were they not able to make top-rate cocktails. But that's not how the Cellar rolls. 
This week's sipper is a testament to the dedication of the Cellar's bar staff to making tasty drinks relying on a creative spirit as well as the lost art of the muddle. And since the ingredients used in this week's drink, known as the Halle Berry, were so fresh, we can't think of a better symbol to represent the fresh starts promised by a new year. 

The mixologist begins by muddling sweet blackberries along with a slice of jalapeño in a glass, smashed together with a small baseball bat. This process liberates the flavors of the fruit. They then squeeze a lemon over the mixture. A jigger of Tanqueray Gin is added, shaken in a mixer with ice, then strained into a martini glass. 

If it's done right, the zest of the berries and lemon will function as the predominant taste of the drink, with sublte overtones of juniper berry thanks to the gin. And of course, the Cellar did this one right, and as a result, there was no involuntary face-twitching because of a strong taste. 

It's a nice surprise to have a drink sporting naturally sweet flavors as opposed to the revved-up, sugary concoctions one finds in any club. And because of the way the ingredients of the Halle Berry settle in the glass, each sip brings a slight change in taste. The closer I got to the bottom, the more heat I could taste from the jalapeño. Delicious.
