Halle Berry reveals why she turned down interviews for a decade: 'I got tired of the same old story'

Halle Berryis speaking out about why she felt the need to go silent with the press for a decade.

Berry, 59, opened up about her decision in a recent interview withThe Cut, where the actress also discussed her filmCrime 101, menopause, and hercriticisms of California Governor Gavin Newsom.

"After my third divorce, people started to say, 'What's wrong with her? She's crazy. She can't keep a man,'" Berry shared in the interview.

Despite the actress' expansive career, which spans more than three decades and includes ahistoric Oscar winfor Best Actress (Berry is the only Black woman to win in that category), the actress expressed fatigue over constant tabloid coverage of her relationships, which led her to shut interviews down altogether.

"I pretty much stopped doing interviews for a decade because I got tired of the same old story," Berry said. "It was always: 'Poor Halle — Unlucky in Love Again.'"

When prompted to craft a headline to her liking, Berry first suggested "Halle Berry Is Not a Damsel in Distress," then "Halle Berry Is Not a Victim of Failed Relationships," and finally settled on "Halle Berry Never Said It's Anyone Else's Fault."

The actress is now more open to discussing both personal and professional highlights, as she recentlyannounced her engagement to boyfriend Van Hunton Feb. 5 while appearing onThe Tonight Show.

"There's some confusion," Berry told hostJimmy Fallon, referring to her recentThe Cutinterview in which she admitted Hunt had proposed, but she had not said yes yet.

"It's going around that I, that my guy Van Hunt — I've been dating him now for almost six years — well, there's some confusion that he asked to marry me and I said no. I did not say no."

In addition to Berry's gritty caperCrime 101,which she stars in alongsideChis Hemsworth, the actress has several projects in the pipeline, including an action-thrillerMaude v Maudethat features both Berry andAngelina Jolie.With an impressive resume already cemented, which includes her award-winning performance inMonster's Ball, her iconic role as Storm in theX-Menfranchise, as well as playing Bond girl Jinx inDie Another Day, the actress expressed gratitude for all that's occurred and what's to come.

"As a Black woman, now almost 60, I still get to work in movies and do what I love," Berry toldThe Cut. "I'm winning."

'Oppenheimer' Actor Drops Big Career Admission: 'My First Love'

This may come as a shock to someCillian Murphyfans.

The Irish actor and producer is currently promoting the release of his new film,Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, where he is reprising his role as Tommy Shelby in the crime TV seriesPeaky Blinders. The upcoming movie, which has a limited theatrical release onFriday, then aNetflixstreaming release on March 20, follows Tommy as he returns from self-imposed exile during World War II. He reunites with his family to fight against a Nazi-backed attack to flood the United Kingdom, but hisson, Duke Shelby (Barry Keoghan), is leading the Peaky Blinders into dangerous and reckless operations.

Ina recent Q&A that was published byELLE MagazineonThursday, Murphy talked with the publication about his favorite co-stars and what it was like growing up in a household full of women. He also revealed the career that he dreamed of before becoming an actor.

When writer Ryan D'Agostino asked the 49-year-old actor who inspired him when he was first starting out his career, Murphy quickly revealed that he actually wanted to be a musician, and it was his "first love."

"[Music] was everywhere when I was growing up. We used to go to an awful lot of traditional Irishmusicsessions in pubs, where I'd sit there with a Fanta and a straw listening to the people who show up with instruments and play. They would appear as if by magic. And then my dad introduced me to the Beatles when I was about four. There were always cassettes in the car," Murphy admitted.

TheOppenheimerstar never professionally trained as an actor, but he participated in multiple theater productions from the ages of 20 to 24. He toldELLEa story of a time he was so eager to get out of rehearsal that he dropped his costume on the ground. An older actor went up to him and said, "Always hang up your costume," which stuck with Murphy all of these years.

"The lesson is, it ain't just you out there prancing around under the spotlights. It's every other person involved in this endeavor that's important, and show some respect," Murphy explained. "The technicians, the electricians, the carpenters, the drivers, the caterers—they're all part of this organism that keeps it going. Hang up your costume."

Murphy first started gaining attention in the early 2000s with his roles in28 Days LaterandGirl with a Pearl Earring, before he started collaborating with directorChristopher NolaninmovieslikeThe Dark Knighttrilogy,InceptionandDunkirk. He also became widely recognized forPeaky Blinders, which aired on the BBC from 2013 to 2022. In 2023, he portrayed physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer in Nolan's film Oppenheimer, which earned him widespread acclaim and brought him multiple major awards, including the Academy Award for Best Actor, cementing his reputation as one of the most respected actors of his generation.

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Manwill be out in theaters this Friday, then streaming on Netflix starting March 20. All six seasons ofPeaky Blinderscan be watched on Netflix.

Jack Osbourne describes late father Ozzy’s final hours before ‘surprise’ death

Jack Osbourne revealed that his late dad Ozzy Osbourne's final day of life wasn't "dramatic."

"He was up, he was doing his thing, had some breakfast, and that was it," the youngest Osbourne child said onWednesday's episode of the "Hate to Break it to Ya" podcast.

Ozzydied on July 22, 2025, of a heart attack.He also suffered from coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease. He was 76.

Jack, 40, admitted on the podcast that Ozzy's death "was a surprise, for sure."

"Obviously everyone knew he was sick," Jack shared. "But we weren't expecting it to be as quick as it was. I think he was done."

Jack also opened up about a sweet moment that he shared with his dad afterOzzy's final show with Black Sabbath, which took place less than three weeks before his death.

"I was putting him to bed, and he was brushing his teeth or whatever, and he was looking at himself in the mirror, and he goes, 'I think I'm gonna cut my hair off.' I'm, like, 'Why?' And he's, like, 'I've retired. I'm not a rock star anymore,'" the "Dancing with the Stars" alum recalled.

"So I think about that, and I'm, like, 'Yeah, he was done. He was OK with his journey,'" Jack added.

While reflecting on Ozzy's final concert, Jack said his dad "was fired up" for the monumental moment.

"He was like, 'Let's go.' He was there to do his job."

Jack previously revealedthat he discovered his father diedfrom a person who had worked for his family for 30 years. The individual knocked on the door of his Los Angeles home at 3:45 a.m.

"When I looked through my window and I saw it was him, I knew something bad had happened," Jacksaid in a YouTube videoin September 2025.

Meanwhile, Ozzy's wife, Sharon Osbourne,gave details about the rocker's passingon"Piers Morgan Uncensored"back in December.

"I ran downstairs, and there he was, and they were trying to resuscitate him, and I'm like, 'Don't — just leave him. Leave him. You can't. He's gone," she said.

"And they tried and tried, and then they took him by helicopter to the hospital and they tried, and it's like, 'He's gone. Just leave him."

Ozzy was laid to restin a private funeral service at his Buckinghamshire, England, home on July 31.

The day before,he was honored in a processionthat took place in his hometown of Birmingham, which his family attended.

Since then, a slew of artists have paid tribute to the rock icon at various concerts and awards shows.

Alex Ovechkin calls Capitals' trade of John Carlson 'the toughest day in my career'

The Washington Capitals made one of the most surprising moves of the NHL trade deadline bydealing defenseman John Carlson, the second-longest tenured player on the team, to the Anaheim Ducks.

Their longest-tenured player has some thoughts on that.

Speaking with reporters the day after the Capitals announced the move,which will net them a conditional first-round pick and a 2027 third-round pick, all-time NHL leading goal-scorer Alex Ovechkin went beyond calling it a sad day:

"Obviously a sad day. Probably the toughest day in my career, talking personal-wise. It sucks. It's sad."

Ovechkin and Carlson had been teammates for 17 years, going back to the defenseman's NHL debut in 2010. Along with other franchise staples like Nicklas Backstrom, the pair presided over an era of Capitals history defined by regular playoff appearances and their Stanley Cup title in 2017-18.

Carlson ranks behind only Ovechkin in games played for the Capitals and behind only Backstrom and Ovechkin on the franchise's all-time assists leaderboard. Ovechkin believes the franchise has never had a better blueliner:

"He's obviously the best defenseman in this franchise's whole history, leader. Obviously, an unbelievable man and a great friend for all of us. It's hard. It's a hard day."

The move answers one question for the franchise, making clear general manager Brian MacLellan is prioritizing the future over the 2025-26 season, but makes another question even more pressing.

Ovechkin is a free agent after this season, in which he holds an $8 million cap hit, andhe's been fairly mum on what he's planning to do.There are indications he'd like to return to his native Russia and play in the KHL before retirement,but he's going to have options regardless.

Asked about his future with the Capitals on Friday, he basically just shrugged:

"I don't know. I'm still here, so we'll see. We'll see what's going to happen, but yeah, it's a hard one."

The Capitals traded another of their most tenured players on Friday as well, sending longtime fourth-line center Nic Dowd to the Vegas Golden Knights. Ovechkin and Tom Wilson are now the only active Capitals players who made their debuts with the team before 2019.
