Halle Berry appeared on Jay Leno last night and made an offhanded joke about Jews. While showing pictures taken with her Apple Photo Booth she made a comment about having a large nose. PageSiz reports the story that was edited before it make it on the air. The edited clip of Halle and her pictures are below.

(Berry) was showing Leno and his audience images of herself on her computer using the Mac program Photo Booth, which distorts images like a carnival fun-house mirror.

According to one audience member, “She introduced the first photo by saying, ‘Here’s where I look like my Jewish cousin!’ - 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…”

Another guest in the audience told us, “Ms. Berry should know how unbelievably inappropriate her comment was . . . She should be ashamed of herself.”

Berry, who sounded like she was near tears, told Page Six last night: “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.”
Berry, who even offered to call Page Six’s source and apologize in person, said, “It was just a lighthearted segment that was meant to make fun of myself. There was a picture where I said I looked like Monica Lewinsky and one where I said I looked like Jay. It was just supposed to be a silly segment. I am so sorry, and I apologize.” - PageSix

I don’t watch this show much, at least not by choice. About the only thing worth noting is that I don’t think any of the women wear underwear of any sort, so, I guess it might be worth taking another look next season. Congratulations to Apolo Anton Ohno and Julianne Hough for winning Dancing with the Stars.

Jeff Goldblum has always playes off the wall characters, and he’s new show Raines, on NBC, looks to be more of the same. Not that it’s bad. It actually looks pretty funny, and odd. Check out the trailer. Jeff’s usually comic delivery with an interesting storyline about being a cop who can see and speak to dead people.
