Halle Berry Gets Lost In The Fire

Wearing a flowing royal blue gown, Halle Berry was busy on Wednesday attending the UK premiere of Things We Lost In The Fire.

The screening, held at London’s Odeon West End, was a part of this year’s London Film Festival.

The pregnant actress is coming off of a tough few days, after being criticized for an anti-Semitic joke she told on Jay Leno’s talk show.

If you didn’t already hear about it, “Berry was showing Leno distorted images of herself and, when holding up a shot of her with a larger nose, she quipped she looked like her Jewish cousin.”

A member of the Tonight Show’s audience told the New York Post: “It was a picture of her with a huge, distorted nose. No one laughed, and Jay nervously said, ‘I’m glad you said that and not me.’ When the show aired, they cut out her ‘Jewish’ comment and added a laugh track to the bit.”

Since that time, Halle has already apologized for her comments, telling that she didn’t mean any offense.
