TYLER (TYLER MORNING TELEGRAPH) - Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry will come to Tyler to accept an award from Sisters in Christ, a nonprofit that raises awareness of an issue the actress is passionate about.
"We recognized Halle with the Michelle Johnson Award of Relentless Determination to Overcome," said Michelle Johnson, executive director of the organization. "She speaks out against domestic violence and is a survivor of it herself."
Ms. Berry will be in Tyler for a gala and celebrity golf tournament benefiting the nonprofit on July 14 and 16. The nonprofit still is seeking sponsors for the events, Ms. Johnson said.
The nonprofit announced they chose Ms. Berry for the award at the annual Domestic Violence and Over Comers Awards ceremony last year, but she was out of the country and could not attend, Ms. Johnson said.
The July events are part of a $10 million capital campaign for the nonprofit, Ms. Johnson said.
Part of the hope for the campaign includes funding a project to renovate the Tysen House, 515 E. Erwin St., which needs major repairs.
Sisters in Christ and Dallas-based Global Greenology plan to partner to renovate the house as a shelter for women who are victims of domestic violence to be eco-friendly and off-the-grid, Global Greenology CEO Ken Peterson said. The renovations are estimated to cost $3 million and will be either gold or platinum certified in a measurement for eco-friendly homes, Peterson said.
"It will be a green showplace for not just Tyler but all of Texas," he said. "It will be the first building like it."
For ticket information call Ms. Johnson at 903-328-9224.

    As the daughter of one of the world's most beautiful women, she's about as adorable as they come.

Her actress mum flashed a colourful collage called 'All About Nahla', on which the four-year-old wrote about how she wants a baby sister, a bunk bed and to be a ballerina.

    Affectionate Halle Berry enjoys dressed down stroll in tattered jeans with Olivier Martinez

    By Ann Pride
    | She may be one of Hollywood's most glamorous stars, but Olivier Martinez is clearly just as enamoured with Halle Berry when she is dressed down in tattered jeans.
    The couple were spotted enjoying a romantic stroll on the streets of New York yesterday and the French actor could not take his hands off his gorgeous fiancée.

    He gave her a hug, held her hand and at one point whispered into the actress's ear.

    Halle couldn't have been more casual in oversized jeans, sandals, a grey vest top and a large brown sweater over it to protect her from the breeze.

    The Monster's Ball actress wore her hair curly and carried a large handbag full of essentials on her shoulder.
    Olivier was dressed in a low-key T-shirt, jeans and leather jacket.

    RADAR Exclusive Halle Berry & Gabriel Aubry Custody Evaluation Report: Both Of You Are Acting Like Children!


    Halle Berry & Gabriel Aubry Custody Evaluation Report: Both Of You Are Acting Like Children!

    Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry are both taken to task in the custody evaluation report for their inability to get along, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. Furthermore, that report has been submitted to the judge who will determine if the the Academy award winning actress will be allowed to take their 4-year-old daughter, Nahla, to live in France.
    Berry, 45, wants to move to France with Nahla and her fiancé, Olivier Martinez, because the actress says she's fearful of the paparazzi. Aubry is fighting the move and a very contentious custody trial is scheduled to begin in the next few week.

    Speaking about the custody evaluation report, a source close to the situation says it "minces no words, and outlines in detail the fact that Halle and Gabriel can't get along. They had a very bitter break-up, and there are lingering issues of anger and mistrust of BOTH parents. The person that this is hurting is of course, Nahla. She loves both of her parents very much, and there is absolutely no question that Gabe and Halle are devoted to their little girl. The report asserts that as the little girl gets older, if her parents aren't able to get along, it could have a very negative impact on her life. The independent child psychologist again emphasized that Halle and Gabe need to come together to co-parent Nahla, and get over the past, period. Nahla is a very well adjusted little girl, who has a very sweet disposition, and is very mature for her age, and both parents could learn a lot from her."

    The custody trial will begin in the next two weeks, Berry and Aubry are expected to take the witness stand.
    Halle and Gabriel split in 2010 after five years together and have been engaged in a bitter dispute over Nahla ever since.
    Berry's engagement to French born Martinez will make the third wedding for the actress and Gabriel's lawyers are using her two previous marriages against her to prove this move isn't in the best interest of Nahla.
    Halle Berry's publicist didn't immediately respond to comment.
