Looking fresh-faced and happy in a cute white dress, Halle Berry’s out and about shopping for baby stuff. While Halle’s putting on the pounds during her pregnancy, Aretha Franklin has said that she’s recently dropped a lot of weight, although she’s not telling us how much exactly. By her estimation, she’s lost:

“A lot of weight. I won’t say the number, but I found the magic numbers on the treadmill. Slowly but surely. It’s all happy.”

Why am I bringing up Aretha in such an awkward segue? Because she’s got Halle Berry on a short list of people whom she’d like to see portraying her in a TV movie project that she’s in the midst of working on. In addition, she’s also reported to be taking a look at Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson, Terrence Howard and Billy Dee Williams as possible additions to the cast. Umm, hmm, Aretha. Sure, you’d like Halle to play you on TV. We’d ALL love to have her play us in the movie version of our lives. Doesn’t mean we actually LOOK like Halle. That’s all I’m saying.
