Halle intervenes as Gerard and Olivier brag about size of packages

Gerard and Olivier in comedy bust-up over their. . . manhood

by Sarah Tetteh, Daily Mirror 26/02/2011

Gerard Butler is a shoe-in for Best Supporting Actor tomorrow – if his boast about what’s under his kilt can be believed…
Ahead of the glitzy Oscars, the Scottish actor got embroiled in a heated debate with Olivier Martinez about the size of their parts. And I’m not talking acting roles here
Gerard – the former squeeze of Jennifer Aniston – and Olivier (Halle Berry’s new leading man) locked horns over drinks at LA’s Chateau Marmont. It started when Gerard made a gag about kilt-wearing Scotsmen being able to go commando because he has something to brag about.
With a cheeky wink at Halle, he started joking about effeminate Frenchmen and asked her if she knew what she was missing.
Unsurprisingly, Olivier, 44, squared up to the Bounty Hunter star at the Harvey Weinstein Dior bash, also attended by Sharon Stone and Adrien Brody.
Poor Halle, 44, had to step in and drag her fella away in case things turned nasty.

My party mole tells me: “Halle, Gerard and Olivier were all having a nice conversation at a table when things suddenly took a turn for the worse.
“Gerard began mucking around, bragging about Scotsmen and the size of their packages. He was joking that he could wear kilts and no undies because he was a ‘real man’, and that other Europeans wouldn’t be able to pull a kilt off.
“As the conversation continued, he got more lewd – and funny – but Olivier got less and less impressed. After one gag too many at his expense, he stood up and confronted Gerry.
“Olivier was red in the face and gesticulating wildly. So Halle told them both to lighten up.”
Just as well it was a pre-Oscars party and not a bash before the Golden Globes...

Halle Berry looked like a woman half of her age in a daring red dress at last night's 13th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards.

The actress looked stunning in the Elie Saab Haute Couture gown at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Halle looked glowing in the dress that had a plunging neckline and was cinched in at the waist before flowing to the grown in a flurry of chiffon and lace which gave a peek of her legs underneath.

The 44-year-old Oscar-winner received the Lacoste Spotlight Award in recognition of her professional excellence and appreciation of the importance of costume design.

Halle had dropped out of the Valentine's Day sequel New Year's Eve because of her bitter custody battle with ex-partner Gabriel Aubry.

But The Hollywood Reporter has reported that she has now rejoined the cast.

A judge has given Halle permission to travel with her two-year-old daughter Nahla to New York City to shoot the film.

Katherine Heigl had jumped into her shoes at short notice and replaced her, but Halle is now going to play a different role in the film.

The star-studded gala was hosted by Sex and the City star Kristin Davis. She looked very princess-like in a black and white polka-dot gown with a black satin side bow.

The actress wore little else in the way of accessories and let the dress speak for itself.

Coupled up: Actress Claire Danes and her actor husband Hugh Dancy were also at the event

House star Lisa Edelstein and actress Secretariat star Diane Lane made very different fashion statements

Actress Ginnifer Goodwin donned a black and gold dress to the gala and with her pixie hair cut and minimal jewellery she looked stunning.

Fellow actress Claire Danes looked elegant and chic in a grey mini dress with an embellished front and slicked back hair. She was joined by her actor husband Hugh Dancy.

Comedienne Kathy Griffin did not look fashion forward on the red carpet at all.

Her odd-length floral dress did nothing to showcase her svelte figure and actually made her look matronly.

Secretariat star Diane Lane went for the 1920s flapper style in a silvery-blue flapper dress with a pointed hemline.

House star Lisa Edelstein looked vamped up in a gunmetal grey fitted dress that dipped very low in the front. Her sexy black peep-toe shoes were the perfect footwear for her outfit.

British TV presenter and E! style guru Louise Roe looked like she had just walked off of the catwalk in a peach and cream ensemble that was unique and interesting.
