 | | Halle Berry sorry for anti-Semitic joke |
Beauty Halle Berry made an anti-Semitic joke on a talk show.
The Oscar-winning beauty - who is currently pregnant with her first child - was showing chat show host Jay Leno and his audience distorted images of herself when she made the anti-Semitic joke.

When holding up a photograph of her with a larger nose, she quipped she looked like her Jewish cousin.
Halle later apologized for her remarks, insisting she didn't mean any offense.
She said: "I so didn't mean to offend anybody - and after the show I realized it could be seen as offensive, so I asked Jay to take it out, and he did.
"I was backstage before the show and I have three girls who are Jewish who work for me. We were going through pictures to see which ones looked silly, and one of my Jewish friends said of the big-nose picture, 'That could be your Jewish cousin!' And I guess it was fresh in my mind, and it just came out of my mouth. But I didn't mean to offend anybody. I didn't. I didn't mean any harm."
