Your girl Halle may give folks everywhere a reason to spend a inflated chunk of change on a movie ticket:

Academy Award winning actress Halle Berry has signed on to star in the Eunetta Boone-scripted film “Who Is Doris Payne.” Berry, who recently shot the film ‘Frankie and Alice,’ joins Justin Berfield (Malcolm in the Middle) and Jason Felts in the film about an international jewel thief whose career spanned five decades. Billed as a heist flick, ‘Who is Doris Payne’ is being developed by J2 (Sons of Tuscon).

This kind of role is some groundbreaking ish for a Black Actress in this day and age. Let’s hope it’s an improvement from that wack ass Catwoman jawn though. Time will tell.

    Doris Payne is a smooth criminal. More than any other known jewel thief, Payne got by on charm.

    No gadgets, no ski masks, no weapons and no late nights. Payne, known for her sense of elegance, walked right into the priciest jewelry stores in the world and walked out the door with their most valuable pieces.

    Payne is currently serving time for lifting a ring from a Las Vegas Nieman Marcus store, but she’s no less feisty. Proudly, she has described to reporters how she cheated jewelers out of their goods.

    Payne says the key was dressing the part and acting like she belonged. She says she would try on a ring, show it to the clerk and make sure they saw her take it off before she would slide it into a pocket as she tried on other rings. It sounds too simple to be true, but that’s basically how Payne got away with the goods for half a century.

    Eventually, the world caught up with Doris Payne. The Internet was the beginning of the end with jewelry stores spreading the word to look out for her. Of course, she wasn’t hard to pick out. She was attractive, well-dressed charmer with mocha skin, and even at 78 she still exudes a sense of elegance.

    Halle Berry know she should have not won a Oscar for Monster Ball. All her movies have sucked and this one will to. She know the only reason they gave her that Oscar is because she showed her body. Now thats all she wants to do. She need to sit her a** down.

    Doris Payne is a 75-year-old women who worked as an international jewel thief for 50 + years.
    Halle looks hot to trot!

    HALLE SUCKS. SHE SEEMED SO FAKE AT THE NAACP IMAGE AWARDS. BUT ALL THOSE NAACP NIGGAS ARE FAKE. JUST LOOK AT THE NAME NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. EITHER WE STILL COLORED OR ITS TIME TO CHANGE THAT NAME.I WOULD SAY SMH BUT THATS SOME GAY ASS SHIT TO SAY.

    She is working beside more unknown actors. The only way movies where she’s in the lead will do well is when she is beside a big NAME. This movie is a part comedy which Halle isn’t good in. FLOP. Halle can’t get in movies w/ Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Will Smith or Denzel. Her career is over!!

  • carolina Blue

    bossip, get your facts straight. it is notable that a movie about an african-american female jewel thief is being made. it is not notable that the actress playing the role is of african-american descent. the real doris payne is black. look it up folks, she had an interesting life. a real live thomas crown affair.

  • hottentot

    playing a jewel thief is not groundbreaking. playing bessie coleman or mae jemison would at least be more salutory, though still not breaking ground if the actress is, HELLO, a black woman. Try breaking ground by playing one of our “passing” first ladies, like Roslyn Carter.

  • Darkesthourglass

    Gabriel is a lucky man to have her. Her legs are a bit short (maybe it’s just the boots) but other than that, her body is perfection. I’ll rent this movie from Netflix.

  • Anon

    Some of you posting under different screennames just to hate need to get a life. Regardless, Halle Berry is a good actress and deserves everything she’s worked hard for. Her few films, “Perfect Strangers” and “Things we lost in the fire” were actually decent movies. I hope some of you actually seen the movies instead of just coming up in here saying the movies sucked. Catwoman was not good at all, but her last few movies were decent. And I think I will go support her in this role because the plot sounds interresting.

    @Lynette

    Denzel Washington and Halle have been trying to work with eachother for years, their schedules are always conflicting. I applaud Halle Berry for always taking risks and working with different people although she knows there will always be haters like you lurking around the corner. The woman has just about every award imaginable, she’s one of the top paid actresses in film, there really isn’t much more she could do that has not already been done. Im sure you ask any of those actors you named if they wanted to do a movie with Halle and they would be ready and willing. So go get lost.

    This thread was going decent untill the haters came out from under their rock, I feel sorry for some of you…I really do. Lastly, its hard for any woman to get a good roll or a hit in that business…so her movies not making 100 million dollars everytime she puts one out is irrelevent to the fact of how much power she has managed to gain in that business. I hope she continues doing what she feels like and ignoring some of you losers.

    I kinda wish I was a lesbian right about now….

  • Marquis de Sade

    No matter how hard Halle tries, she just can’t carry off “SEXY” I don’t know what it is, but (to me) she just isn’t sexy. I wouldn’t kick her out of bed (mind you), but on the same token, I would’nt break my neck to get in bed with her either.

  • chzz

    Halle is a man’s actress.She gives them a body to look at and that’s it.The woman has no talent on screen.She’s just painful to watch.And no…I don’t wanna hear about her token Oscar.It’s embarrassing to name her with actresses who have real talent.And if being truthful makes me a hater you know what you can do…

    Halle Berry is a nice looking lady, my sister went to the NAACP Image Awards she saw halle on stage up
    close, because she was 10 rows from the stage. She
    said halle is nice looking, but not as beautiful as she appears on film. She said she looks like a black girl who dates only white men. She said she
    is short in height, only 5’5-5’6. She saw Beyonce
    and said she looks like a beautiful black barbie
    doll. She said Sanaai walks like a dude in high heels, that has never walked in them before. She and I love halle berry a lot.

  • JEWISH COUSIN

    HALLE BERRY WAS ON JAY LENO AND MADE A COMMENT ABOUT A PICTURE SAYING IT LOOKED LIKE HER JEWISH COUSIN. I AM JEWISH I DONT CARE IF SHE WAS PLAYING I AM DONE WITH HER. SHE HAD JAY LENO TAKE IT OFF THAT GOES TO SHOW HOW MUCH OF A COWARD SHE IS.
