Berry Denies Engagement Rumors
Actress Halle Berry has denied rumors she is secretly engaged to long-term boyfriend Gabriel Aubry. The Die Another Day star sparked reports she is planning to marry the father of her baby daughter Nahla after she was spotted wearing a ring on her wedding finger. The actress was snapped at the Entertainment Industry Foundation's Revlon Run/Walk last weekend wearing the ring - which reportedly belonged to Aubry's grandmother.
However, according to People.com, the jewelry was purchased by Berry, who vehemently denies it is anything more than a fashion accessory. A source tells the website, "It's not an engagement ring. Halle just saw it and thought it was beautiful so she bought it for herself." Berry and Aubrey have been dating since 2005.

---------------------------------Berry Enjoys Sweet Smell of Success
Oscar winner Halle Berry is set to add fragrance mogul to her resume - after signing a deal to lend her name to a range of perfumes for cosmetic giant Coty. The Monster's Ball star joins a host of stars including Jennifer Lopez, David and Victoria Beckham, Sarah Jessica Parker and Gwen Stefani, who have previously developed fragrances for the beauty giant. Berry will develop a 'fragrance portfolio' for the company, and will appear in Coty's advertising campaigns for the forthcoming products.
Steve Mormoris, of Coty, says, "Halle is an iconic actress and symbolizes beauty to many generations. She adds another dimension to the celebrity fragrance market. Halle has always been a little more mysterious, not quite as open with her personal life as some other stars. Her fragrances will allow her to present another facet of her personality to her fans." The range will hit stores around the world in 2009.
