A few weeks ago, Halle Berry got all dolled up in a pretty cream dress to attend a screening of Frankie & Alice, a film I didn’t know much about. When I was doing a little research on the film, I discovered how sketchy the plot was and is. Halle plays a character with two personalities – Frankie is a be-afro’d cage dancer with Pam Grier-circa-Foxy Brown styles. Alice is a prim, anal retentive Southern white lady who loves to crash weddings. For real. And people are now saying Halle could get another Oscar nomination…? Here’s the trailer:

My GOD, this looks like a total mess. Okay, some nice things: Halle looks pretty in it. And it’s always nice to see Stellan Skarsgard and Phylicia Rashad. And some of the costumes look okay. Now for the bad: this script seems to take the worst and most boring parts from every “multiple personalities” film character. And the whole thing looks terribly budget. And it seems like the director didn’t know if he was making a drama or a comedy (did anyone else giggle?). And who wouldn’t want Halle Berry to gate-crash their wedding?

Thanks to Gawker for the trailer!

When I first glanced through these photos of Jennifer Lopez, I swear to God, I thought Jennifer had stopped the event half-way through so she could do a costume change. Now that I’m looking more closely though, I think Jennifer was just wearing a very light beige coat over a hoochie-mama Gucci bustier-esque dress, and she kept the coat on for the “seated” portion of the photo-op, and then revealed the dress for the “standing” part of the event. If this was a club opening, sure. A movie premiere? Perfect. But this event was for the Boys and Girls Club of America. Denzel Washington was introducing Jennifer as his new co-spokesperson for the great organization. And Jennifer shows up in this white Gucci. Inappropriate? Her tatas are for the children! Here’s the press release:

Who: Denzel Washington has served as national spokesperson for Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) since 1992. An alumnus of the Club in his hometown of Mount Vernon, N.Y., Denzel has proven a tireless advocate for the Clubs and the young people they serve. He has participated in five national advertising campaigns, has served as an active member of BGCA’s Board of Governors since 1996, appeared before Congressional leaders on Capitol Hill, and wrote a book about mentorship –A Hand To Guide Me – with proceeds benefitting Boys & Girls Clubs. In 2008 he launched the BE GREAT campaign, asking more than 20 fellow Club alumni to give back by supporting the organization that helped them open the door to a great future.

By inviting fellow-alumnus Jennifer Lopez to join him as national spokesperson, Denzel is expanding this key role to two people for the first time in the organization’s 104-year history. The announcement commemorates the 20th anniversary of the organization’s name change from “Boys Clubs” to Boys & Girls Clubs of America, marking the expansion of the mission to reach all young people in need.

Why: From academic failure and gang violence to poverty, drugs and obesity, America’s youth face a daunting array of problems – with serious consequences for young people, families, communities, and the nation. Boys & Girls Clubs of America is committed to addressing these issues – and challenging our nation to support effective solutions. According to a 2007 Harris survey, 57 percent of Boys & Girls Club alumni reported, “The Club saved my life,” while 28 percent credited the Club with keeping them in school. The U.S. high school graduation rate currently stands at 68%. For Club members, the graduation rate is 90%.

About J LO: An alumnus of the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club in the Bronx, N.Y., Jennifer learned to sing and dance as part of the Club’s renowned “K Company” performing arts program. Today, a multi-talented entertainer, she is also a successful businesswoman, and the proud mother of twins.

About BGCA: For more than 100 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of America (www.bgca.org) has changed lives, saved lives, and created great futures – by enabling young people, especially those who need Clubs most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Today, some 4,000 Boys & Girls Clubs serve more than 4 million youth through Club membership and community outreach, providing guidance-oriented programs emphasizing academic success, character and leadership development, community service, and healthy lifestyles.

I didn’t know that Jennifer was in the Boys and Girls Club when she was growing up. That must mean a lot to her, being named co-spokesperson, and sharing the honor with someone as respected and beloved as Denzel. I have no doubt that Jennifer will work her ass off for the Boys and Girls Club… but I have doubts as to whether or not she will be dressed appropriately while doing her good works.

There has been a sighting of the Empress, and her lady-in-waiting Shiloh. This morning, Angelina took her two oldest girls to a Paris aquarium, which sounds like a really fun way to spend a morning. Maybe it’s just me – I love aquariums. Sigh… anyway, the most notable thing about these photos, beyond the obligatory Empress Zahara worship, is that Shiloh is rocking her new zebra-print boots.

On Sunday, People Magazine had a story about Brad and Angelina taking the girls shopping, and the zebra-print boots were mentioned. I was under the impression is was some kind of Christmas-shopping excursion. Maybe it was, and maybe Brad and Angelina are the kind of parents who let their kids have their Christmas presents early. Or maybe Shiloh pitched a fit when she was told that she would have to wait to wear her snazzy zebra boots, and Angelina relented. I guess this means that story about Shiloh getting medieval knight costumes for herself and Knox is probably true as well.

Ben Affleck was a guest on the Ellen Degeneres show and his segment will air tomorrow. Some advance quotes have been leaked from the interview, and they cracked me up. Affleck admitted that he lets his more domestic-minded partner take care of all the Christmas decorating and shopping. He even joked that he’s so bad at buying gifts that he ends up at CVS on Christmas eve desperately looking for presents. That’s such a stereotype of guys at Christmas time, and it rings true in my experience.

When it comes to getting into the holiday spirit in Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s home, Ben admits it’s his wife who decks the halls – and hits the stores.

“I’m not particularly proud of it, but it’s a bit of a ‘50s thing I guess. Because my wife is so capable, and because I’m less so, she does a lot of that work and I kind of root her on,” Ben told Ellen DeGeneres in an interview set to air on Wednesday’s “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

“I’m encouraging,” he said.

When it comes to picking out gifts for family and friends, Ben said he once again defers to Jen.

“It takes her as much energy and effort to buy like the 20 gifts we’re going to buy other people, as it does to buy her gift. I spend the whole time, fretting about that and being nervous and hoping she likes that,” Ben added.

Typically, as the Christmas deadline approaches, Ben said he abandons the high-end designer stores in lieu of something a bit more convenient.

“I end up at like CVS on [December] 24 being like, ‘Maybe she’d like a little Godzilla that goes around,’” the star/director of “The Town” joked.

“[Are] you talking about your wife or your kids?” Ellen asked.

“My wife,” Ben said. “My kids actually would like that.”

I find that oddly endearing because that same dynamic plays out in my house. My husband just told me last night that he has trouble buying presents because there are too many options and he doesn’t know what to get. (I mean I knew this, but we were just talking about it.) I usually end up dropping a lot of hints about what I want, and sometimes I buy myself presents online like a purse or jewelry and let him give them to me. I’ll actually forget about it so it’s still a nice surprise at Christmas, and of course I like whatever it is because I picked it out myself. When he gets me presents they’re very practical usually, like a nice coffee machine or a food processor. (Both of which I really wanted and enjoyed, but those are what guys think of.) I have trouble shopping for him too though, as it seems like he has just about everything he needs. Oh and in regards to Christmas decorating, aren’t we usually the ones who end up doing that? I get a lot of help once I take the initiative, but I end up deciding how we’re going to decorate and rearrange stuff in the house. It’s not like we have traditional male and female roles necessarily, that’s just the way it happens.
