Halle Berry discusses her bald steez with Essence Magazine:

Halle Berry is preparing for a drastic haircut – the actress has agreed to shave her head for a new role. The star will say goodbye to her locks for her forthcoming part in 2010 romantic comedy Nappily Ever After.
She tells U.S. magazine Essence, “I’m shaving it off! I know. Here comes the controversy, but… it’ll grow back – I hope!” And the star admits the decision was inspired by her desire to make her 11-month-old daughter, Nahla, proud of her career. She adds: “I don’t want my daughter to look back at my work and think, ‘Mom sold out.’ I want to leave a legacy that she can be proud of.”

She used to rock the short styles like a champ, and it looks like the bald thang may actually be a good look for her too. In regards to her upcoming film, if it’s anything like the book – this jawn ought to be pretty tight – but your girl hasn’t been starred in a ‘good’ flick in a minute, so we’ll have to wait and see…

Dig Halle on Essence and her recent outing with Taraji P Henson and Gabriel Aubrey below.

    I made it

  • @ Da Poet

    This baldness is a bold new and seriously brave move for Halle…but, for some reason I think she would be able to pull it off.

  • Sickofitt!

    She will still be beautiful, she has a pretty face. Women with pretty faces can pretty much do anything with their hair.

    Halle,

    Baby look at all the fun times we’ve had together. We’ve set trends together. Even the academy awards. Baby please. Don’t do this…your cranium is small, but don’t push it…

  • Halle Berry

    Follicles,

    Sorry. You’ve gotta go. The “Green Mile” look is in. Hell, if Kanye is falling in love with Amber Rose, and she looks like the little guy from Rush Hour, then hey I gotta get mine!!

    LOL @ Green mile look! LOL!!! Colonel, you slay me!

  • Sepia830

    It hope she doesn’t think by shaving her head she will be saving her career. If nobody is paying to see her WITH hair, why would they pay to see her WITHOUT it? Just sayin’

  • Colonel StinkMeaner

    @RE

    Naw thats you, joker!!LOL!! Did you get my other message?

  • Forty Plus

    Once an actress hits forty their career automatically starts to wane because Hollywood is obsessed with 20-somethings. I remember how big Julia Roberts was until she starting inching up to forty. It’s the same thing with music.

    I got your message silly! One day I’m going to assume an alter-ego(s) for a day…

  • Colonel StinkMeaner

    @RE

    I see. We can’t stay still. LOL! This is the second time I got this message……quit stalling…..finish your homework…..(ugh…Physics….hated that….)

  • DayShifter

    I love Halle, even though I’ve never been that impressed with her looks. Yeah, she’s pretty but not really that stunning to me. And it’s been a while since she was a “great actress” Sorry “Monster’s Ball” was not that great a movie, and neither was her acting in it. And I could think of other movies she’s done that deserved that Oscar.

  • ladybug

    Halle looks beautiful reguardless..she is beyond a dime piece..go ahead halle and strut yo shit.. your the shit girl..

  • http://www.k.com NOELLE

    She will resemble Kanye’s new piece.

  • http://Bossip Not Surprised At All

    Halle’s face is pretty and will remain that way, with or without hair. Considering the lead role she accepted for Monster’s Ball and ultimately being awarded an Oscar for it, it’s not surprising that she is willing to go to pretty much any length for a part.

  • Lady J

    @ Not Surpised At All,lol..this is true….

  • http://www.thatshideous.com that’s hideous

    i shaved my head a year ago and i look amazing

  • WIFEY06

    Cute but not a great actress!!!!

  • FURIOUZ STYLEZ

    HOLD UP YO WHO HOLD HALLE THE BALDIE SWAG ON HER IS THE BUSINESS?

  • Van Gogh

    That is a very good book; but with Miss Berry at the helm become a shitty movie. I thought that she would be doing only integrated movies like X-men.

  • roosevelt taylor

    THE SAME WAY A SISTER DONT WANT TO SEE SHIT WIT TAYE DIGGS IN IT EVEN IF IT IS A BLACK MOVIE. I FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT THIS SELLOUT ESPECIALLY AFTER SHE IN ESSENCE MAGAZINE TALKING BOUT HOW SHE “TRIED DATING BLACK MEN” WAILING IN A MOCKED SOUTHERN VOICE “I TRIED”. OH YEAH BITCH TRY TO LET THE WHITE FOLKS RESSURECT YO DEAD ASS CAREER. HOUSE NIGGA SELLOUT SLAVE MASTER DICK SUCKER. I KNOW I GO HARD ON THIS BITCH.

  • THE RULER

    i thought they wanted another kid. when she got pregnant they had to stop shooting that film called tula which was supposed to be directed by john singleton and also starring was gonna be billy bob thorton. they had to stop filming. she wanted to do a remake of foxy brown. this guy wants atleast 3 kids this chick is 42 and will be 43 in august. this film is supposed to be released in 2010 lets just say halle is gone be real busy. roosevelt taylor damn my nigga is that serious.

  • http://www.playzdabest.com sIMPLICITYNYC

    Halle is just like every other white person, she done lost her damn mind……LOL

  • Lynnett

    ‘Mom sold out.’ It looks like someone has been reading blogs about themselves. LMAO! Personally, I don’t see how doing this role is going to convince anyone that she isn’t a sell out per se. Her desperation for A-List attn is really showing. She’s on the cover of a mag w/ no movie coming out. Nappily Ever After will not make money, bc it is marketable to black people hence the word, Nappily. It is a black romance comedy something that Berry has not done since the early 90′s. The white peep r no longer interested in her, so she wants to come back HOME. LOL! She’s better off filming w/ Tyler Perry since his comedies seem to make money. Maybe she can call on her old beau, Spike Lee. Poorah Poorah, Halle.

  • ME ME ME

    how is she a sell out? huh im lost

  • ME ME ME

    o and she looks better bald!

  • FIELD NEGRO

    HOUSE NEGROES USED TO SELLOUT FIELD NEGROES.

  • FIELD NEGRO

    SHE’S HALF WHITE WAS BEING HALF WHITE AN EXCUSE FOR HOUSE NEGROES TO SNITCH ON FIELD NEGROES WHEN THEY PLOTTED ESCAPES. “IS WE SICK TODAY BOSS”.”MASTA THEY TRYNA RUN”.

  • copelli21

    It doesn’t matter….short, long, bald…Halle is going to look gorgeous. There is no way around that. And don’t think she’s not gonna look even flyer when her hair starts growing back in.

    Say what you want…I don’t think Halle is the best actress in the world, but she is certainly one of the most beautiful and time is having very little effect on that! 40+ and still fabulous.

  • seal

    SHE IS LIKE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFAL ACTRESSES BUT SHE’S NUMBER 184 NAH. BUT LIKE #29. SHE’S TOO OLD.

  • blow fly

    @seal i feel you bro. you have to ask junior highschool boys who’s the hottest.like when i was in school all the grown women thought nino brown was the shit but the girls my age was screaming gee money.

  • Toni Montana

    um. she half white. aint too much she can do to make her hair “nappily ever after” . sounds like another sell out to me..
