In other news, Halle Berry has set herself a deadline to get pregnant by the end of the
year.
The actress, who is dating 31-year-old model Gabriel
Aubry, is aware her biological clock is ticking and is determined to
conceive in 2007.
Halle, 40, said: "Having children is my next big project. I'm planning on
becoming pregnant by the end of the year - it's my age, it's only natural."
The Oscar-winning star insists she and Gabriel are prepared to adopt if
their baby-making attempts don't work.
She added: "If it can't happen naturally, Gabriel and I will adopt."
Halle has made no secret of her desire to have a baby in the past, and had
vowed to get pregnant before she turned 40 last August.
She told US chat show host Oprah Winfrey: "If there's no serious man in my
life when I get to that age, whoever I'm dating at the time, I'll say, 'Hey,
would you like to have a baby?' "
Halle even contemplated artificial insemination before she started dating
Gabriel.
She said last year: "It looks like the only option I have left is to head
for the sperm bank! I've been so desperately unlucky in love and that has
thwarted my desire for motherhood. It's so frustrating. I really yearn for a
child and I can't wait much longer."
