Halle Berry rejoins New Year's Eve
Halle Berry has re-joined the cast of the ensemble romantic comedy "New Year's Eve" after pulling out of the project last month to fight a custody battle for her young daughter.
At that time, Katherine Heigl stepped in and replaced Berry. But Berry was freed up this week when a judge in Los Angeles ruled in her favor, making it possible for her to travel with her daughter to New York, where Garry Marshall is shooting "New Year's Eve."
Berry's new role in the movie she'll play a nurse is slightly smaller than the one she gave up.
The cast also includes Sarah Jessica Parker, Zac Efron, Hilary Swank, Ashton Kutcher, Lea Michelle and Robert De Niro.

New York's Autumn-Winter Fashion Week
The low-budget horror flick "The Roommate" opened at the top of the North American box office during a sluggish weekend, industry estimates showed Sunday.
The psychological thriller starring Leighton Meester as a deranged college freshman obsessed with her roommate Minka Kelly grossed $15.6 million in its three days.
Survey aggregator Rotten Tomatoes said only nine percent of critics gave the movi a thumbs-up.
Box office earnings were dented this weekend by the hugely popular Super Bowl American football championship game.
"Sanctum," which also got trashed by critics -- came in a distant second. The 3-D underwater cave adventure produced by James Cameron of "Avatar" fame secured $9.2 million in ticket receipts.
Dropping into third was "No Strings Attached," a romantic romp starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher. The Ivan Reitman film about casual sex between friends took in $8.4 million.
British historical drama "The King's Speech" jumped up one notch to fourth after drawing 12 nominations from the Oscars race. It has earned $84.1 million so far in 11 weeks of showing.
Action movie "The Green Hornet" got fifth with $6.1 million, pulling ahead of Anthony Hopkins exorcism thriller "The Rite." The horror inspired by 1970s classic "The Exorcist" captured $5.6 million.
Dropping to seventh with $5.4 million was "The Mechanic," while the Western "True Grit" came in eighth with $4.8 million.
Oscar-winning brothers Joel and Ethan Coen's remake features Jeff Bridges in the John Wayne role as a drunken, hard-nosed US marshal. The film has earned $155 million in seven weeks.
Vince Vaughn's relationship comedy "The Dilemma," in its fourth week in theaters, slipped from seventh to ninth with $3.4 million.
Rounding out the top 10 was "Black Swan," a gritty ballet-themed thriller starring Natalie Portman which earned $3.4 million, for a 10-week total of $95.9 million.
The film was nominated for five Oscars, including best picture and best performance by an actress for Portman.
