Halle Berry To Star In Tv Drama

Halle Berry is reportedly set to star in a new television series called 'Higher Learning' playing a college professor.

Halle Berry is set to play a college professor in a new TV series.

The Academy Award-winning actress has been linked to a show entitled 'Higher Learning' which was written by veteran TV movie actress Lee Rose.

Although no other details have yet been released about the series' plot or Halle's character, it is thought the show, produced by Dreamworks TV, is pitching to major US networks HBO and Showtime, respected industry website Deadline.com reports.

The 44-year-old star - who was recently cast in the movie adaptation of 'Cloud Atlas' and is also starring in romantic comedy 'New Year's Eve' - would be making her return to regular TV work, after previously starring in 21 episodes of long-running drama 'Knots Landing' in 1991.

It was also revealed earlier this year that she was personally chosen by Aretha Franklin to star in a biopic about the legendary singer's life.

However, the brunette beauty expressed doubts about her ability to play the role because of her lack of vocal talent.

She said: "I can't sing! If I could carry a tune, I'd consider it. Someone should tell Aretha that I can't do her justice."

The FiFi Awards is an annual celebration, which honors the best fragrances in the industry (sort of like the Academy Awards, but only for perfume). This week, a new tent was erected in Damrosch Park for the ceremony. Fergie, Halle Berry and Mary J. Blige were a few of the stars who won awards for their scents. On the red carpet, Fergie told reporters that her perfume "Outspoken," is "outspoken, I want women to feel comfortable in their own skin, to say what they feel and be what they feel." Husband Josh Duhamel surprised the songstress at the gala.
Halle Berry received the Elizabeth Taylor Fragrance Celebrity of the Year Award for "Reveal." She was thrilled. This award, presented by the Foundation’s Board of Directors is to honor a celebrity who has embraced and promoted the world of fragrance over a period of time. It celebrates the ongoing success and support given by the celebrity to the industry and therefore attracting consumers to the category.
Other bold-faced names that we spotted at the event included: Trey Songz (who will have his very own fragrance out in the next 18 months or so), Paz De La Huerta, Willie Garson, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, Kelly Bensimon, Kate Walsh, Desiree Rogers, Nate Berkus, Jonathan Adler, Sean Patterson, Padma Lakshmi, Carrie Keagan and more!

Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez

• Halle Berry and beau Olivier Martinez cuddled up at the grand opening of Las Vegas's Nikki Beach inside the Tropicana. Though the theme of the party was white, Berry wore a brown dress. (Martinez's white button-up shirt fit the theme, though!) The duo sipped champagne in a VIP area of the club as they watched fireworks and live music performances in the new venue.

Halle Berry: 'My daughter is a very girly girl'

By Gabi Finn on 31/05/2011

Halle Berry said her daughter Nahla is a "very girly girl" who loves to try on her fragrances.

Halle Berry

The 44-year-old star is mum to the three year-old, whose dad is Berry's 's ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry.
Speaking to PEOPLE backstage at the FIFI Awards in New York, she said: "She's a very girly girl."
She added that making her own perfume impresses her daughter.
Berry said: "I have four fragrances now. She tries them all out and likes them all. She'll definitely be a fragrance wearer… I can tell."
She added: "As a kid, I always wanted to have fragrances. And I would mix things in my mother's cabinet. Now, as an adult, I get a chance to really mix my own."
