Halle To Gabe: “Thanks For The Donation”

The ReadyWriter

According to RadarOnline, Halle Berry recently fired off a nasty email to her baby daddy, Gabriel Aubry, whom she accuses of hurling racial epithets at her.

“You were only good for one thing….Thanks for the donation,” the Oscar winner allegedly wrote in the poison pen email.

Aubry, 35, and Berry, 44, are locked in a vicious, Hollywood-style custody battle (their daughter Nahla in the middle) with mud-slinging from both sides.

Aubry initiated the public skirmish by petitioning a NY court to name him as the biological father of 2-year-old Nahla Aubry and to grant him joint custody and child support. He cited his inability to effectively co-parent his daughter who travels overseas with her mother to visit Berry’s boyfriend in France and London.

Additionally, Halle claims their daughter is terrified to be alone with her father.

But a source close to Aubry tells RadarOnline that he has never heard Aubry use the ‘N’ word around Halle or their daughter, and can’t imagine him doing so.

The source tells RadarOnline that Halle was the unhinged, abusive one in the relationship who constantly called Aubry “ranting and raving” on the phone.

“I’ll confess that I’ve heard him call her “a fucking bitch” before — when he’s been provoked, but I am talking serious provocation,” said the source.

Aubry has yet to make a public statement in response to Berry’s scandalous accusations. Instead, he defers to his legal teams in Canada and New York.

In the meantime, black women everywhere have taken Aubry’s side in the custody battle. Sistas are leaving messages on blogs and Facebook referring to Halle Berry as “crazy” and “hateful.” Aubry’s tactics seems to be working.

“Halle Berry In Custody Battle With Her”

Baby daddy…

The 44-year-old actress, is planning to face off in court with her ex, model Gabriel Aubrey, over custody of their 2-year-old daughter, Nahla.

Berry pulled out of a film production in New York this week, due to pending custody litigation involving her daughter,” her publicist told the Daily News in a statement Monday.

“She has attempted to resolve these custody issues amicably with her daughter’s father, Gabriel Aubry, directly, but given his lack of cooperation, Halle has no choice but to seek swift judicial intervention.”

“Halle has serious concerns for her daughter’s well-being while in the care of her father for any extended period of time and is prepared to take all necessary steps to protect her.”

I wonder if Halle is re-thinking and regretting the choices she made in picking a father for her child.

Berry and Aubry, split last April after four years together and seemed to have an amicable breakup, even being spotted together taking Nahla on joint excursions. But in December, Aubrey, 35, officially filed for joint custody via court papers and requested to have his name added to Nahla’s birth certificate.

“Lamar Odom, Talk About Women And”

The ReadyWriter

A man’s responsibility in the February 2011 issue of Playboy magazine.

Lamar (A Laker Basketball Star), is married to Khloe Kardasian, from the Kardasian “sister clan” who all became famous by whoring their goods. Well anyway, this is what Lamar had to say:

On how marrying Khloé has changed him:

“Men, most of the time our goal is to have what we want when it comes to women… Most men like more than one woman. A lot of them would not want to admit that because that might not be cool, right? Most people don’t want to get married. Being married, that’s a responsibility. I always used to tell that to women. I don’t want a girlfriend because that means I’ve got a responsibility. I have a responsibility to call you. I have a responsibility not to be with another woman. I have a responsibility to be there on time when you need me. With her I was like, If I do what I normally do, I’m going to lose her. And if I lose her, I think it’s going to hurt a lot. Right then and there I knew. We were together every day.”

On whether it was true that he withheld sex until they were married:

“I tried to. I didn’t know why I wanted to wait. We came together and knew what we wanted from each other really early, and everything we did felt good, from a hug to a kiss. Then there was a time when I just tried to be a gentleman about the whole situation. I was accepted by her family. She stayed at my place and vice versa. I thought, We’re going to step back for a second. Keep it classy.”

“We Dined At The Red Rooster”

The ReadyWriter

In Harlem over the weekend.

Located on Lenox Avenue, in the heart of Harlem, this restaurant just opened on Friday, January 17th.

After months of delay, the ‘Red Rooster’ finally opened to the public this past weekend.  

The new Harlem eatery, which covers two floors of openness, includes front cafe seating (which looks like a food mart) to accommodate 24, a 20-seat bar, a 76 seat dining area, which is very trendy and very different.

I was a bit turned off by the Aunt Jemima box display along with a can of green beans and pickles used as a decorative touch, however the menu is American cuisine and comfort food.

As a meal, I had the daily market greens, the red grits and shrimp while my crony had, the seared salmon, black-eyed peas and smoked collard greens.

Now., just because black-eyed peas, collard greens and cornbread are on the menu, this restaurant is not considered soul food.

The Red Rooster is owned by Ethiopian born celebrity chef and author, Marcus Samuelson. Samuelson was a guest chef for the Obama administration’s first state dinner and he is trying to become a brand in American popular food culture and cuisine.

Marcus Samuelson, 39, is married to model Gate Haile (couple pictured below), and they just appeared in Ebony magazine’s February issue of “Celebrate Black Love”.

So move over Sylvia’s, there’s a new kid on the block!

If you’re ever in the neighborhood and want something different, check out “Red Rooster” their food flare is different and so is their style…The restaurant doesn’t serve breakfast yet but that’s coming soon!
