Hollywood star Halle Berry unveiled her post-baby body

When Hollywood star Halle Berry unveiled her post-baby body at a gala six weeks after giving birth, it appeared she had followed the path of most celebrity mothers by dropping her baby weight overnight.

But it seems that the Oscar-winning actress is, like many mothers, taking the pace rather more gently, as she was seen yesterday in a skimpy T-shirt dress which revealed she still has her post-baby tummy.

Unlike most celebrities who won't be seen in public with even an ounce of post-baby podge, after almost two months out of the limelight with new baby Nahla, down to earth Halle was happily seen shopping at shoe store Diavolina.

Clearly Halle is non-plussed by not yet shedding all her baby weight, as she made no attempt to cover up or hide away her figure.

The 41-year-old actress still looks amazing, as witnessed by her turn on the red carpet at a charity gala earlier this week in Los Angeles.

The difference is fairly stark, but no doubt the actress who is known for her stunning red carpet has laid her hands on a pair of tummy reducing Spanx control pants which ensured she looked suitably svelte.

Dressed in a plunging empire-line leopard print minidress, the actress made the most of a happy side-effect of early motherhood - a boosted bust line.

Halle stepped out again the day after the gala to host the Halle Berry Celebrity Charity Golf Tournament.

Although the actress didn't golf, she was seen at the event, which was held at L.A.'s Mountain Gate Country Club, posing for pictures with participants, which included Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle and model boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, 32.

Halle and Gabriel welcomed their baby Nahla Ariela on March 16. Nahla means 'honey bee' in Arabic.

Nahla arrived with her father, and was sequestered with a nanny in a trailer the actress had parked near the course.

And the new parents left early, just as the party was getting into full swing, according to People magazine Halle told the assembled golfers: "I'm going to have to leave.

"My baby is calling for my breast. So, if I don't see everyone later, thank you!".

Angelina Jolie ditches her 'goth' look for vibrant yellow

Sunny delight: Gothic Angelina Jolie embraces a vibrant yellow look for her swelling baby bump.

The usually dark and brooding Angelina Jolie appears to have embraced a sunnier look for her maternity wardrobe.

Dressed in a vibrant yellow chiffon dress, with a plunging bodice, and flats the Hollywood star who is said to be expecting twins with partner Brad Pitt, looked a picture pre-natal health.

Angelina was seen at Los Angeles restaurant Marino on rare outing without any members of her family as neither Brad or her kids were in attendance.

Her delightful new look made a change from usual fashion diet of dark, full-length maxi dresses.

Angelina's usual sombre black look has seen her compared to the 'Goth' fashion tribe, who dress head to toe in the mournful colour.

But despite the change in approach to maternity wear, the sunny disposition didn't extend to Angelina's countenance which appeared to be more of a scowl as she made her entrance to the LA restaurant.

The star, also used her huge handbag to shield her bump from the cameras, but later, as she left the restaurant, it could be seen more clearly.

The busy star certainly hasn't let the impending birth affect her packed schedule.

Recently she took part in a ground-breaking ceremony alongside actor partner Brad Pitt to build homes for Hurricane Katrina refugees.

And earlier this month she attended a high-profile meeting in Washington to urge the international community to take responsibility for the education of Iraqi children.

The Jolie-Pitt brood currently numbers four: Maddox, six; Pax, four; Zahara, three; and Shiloh, who turns two next month.

Angelina is rumoured to be planning to attend Cannes Film Festival in May as her animated film, 'Kung Fu Panda' from Paramount, will be premièring at the film festival.

And the Clint Eastwood directed film 'Changeling' - a 1920s-period mystery about a missing child that stars Angelina - has also been announced as part of the films entered in the prestigious film competition.

Regrets Posing Naked For Sex Book

While she's known as a raunchy pop star, Madonna claims that she was actually a "geek" and "very straight" at the beginning of her career. The soon to be 50 superstar, claims that she was a simpleton in her 20s—at the time when she hit the pop scene clad in basques and black lace and married hell raising actor Sean Penn.

"I really was not getting up to much. I don't think I was as naughty as I could have been. I was quite straight. I was a geek when I was that age. I did not really do that much that was interesting," the Daily Express quoted her, as saying.

Talking about her early hit 'Like A Virgin', she said: "There is a kind of simplicity about it. There is an innocence about it. When I look at the video I also see a girl who is innocent and wide-eyed and really excited about life and the beginning of her career."

However, when it comes to her raunchy book 'Sex', which was released when she was at the height of her fame in 1992 and in which she posed in bare essentials, Madonna claims that she is not just about shedding clothes.

"I hope that's not the only thing that I'm identified with - taking off my clothes. I have done other things. There's a lot more to being Madonna than taking off your clothes," she said.

American pop singer Madonna

I'm trying to be more feminine: Madonna
American pop singer Madonna has revealed that she is trying to be more ladylike – because she feels that she is too "masculine".

Madge claimed that she has always been comfortable with her masculine side, but would now like to concentrate on being more feminine.

"I think I've been honing and finessing my feminine side,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

She further stated that she likes the idea of being more flexible and more vulnerable.

"I've always been very comfortable with my masculine side - the confidence, the ballsiness. I've learnt to be more pliant, more vulnerable - and to be comfortable with that," she added.

Jolie and Pitt wedding never happened

Bet Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s publicists wish they got a pay rise every time the rumor of the star couple’s marriage did the rounds.

Hollywood’s hottest couple married again this weekend — not. But this time their publicist deferred the knockdown of rumors of a wedding in a New Orleans wedding chapel to the chapel’s clergyman.

“Brad and Angelina did not get married by us,” the Rev. Tony Talavera, owner of the French Quarter Wedding chapel, told magazine Life & Style Weekly a day after the rumored Saturday wedding.

Talavera said he normally did not reveal who he did or did not marry at his wedding center just 14 blocks from the Jolie-Pitt home but he went public this time after Pitt’s people called him and asked him to “quash any misinformation that’s out there.”

“I have not met them personally,” said Talavera. ”This just got out of control. Their publicist asked me to give out a statement.”

But Talavera said he’d be happy to do the job for Pitt and Jolie if they ever do finally decide to rid themselves of the rumors and take the plunge.

“We extend the invitation. We’re glad they are neighbors,” he said.

Heigl found fame starring in TV medical drama Grey's Anatomy, but has since found Hollywood success in movies like 2007's Knocked Up.

Her film outings have been well-received and critics have been quick to compare her to Roberts, who also starred in a number of romantic comedies throughout her career.
