Oscar win aside, Halle Berry has a worst performance of all time, according to King magazine. Berry is named as the top offender on the publication’s list of most dreadful model-turned-actress film showings for her role in Gothika. Following Berry were Garcelle Beauvais for her part in Wild, Wild West and Tyra Banks for Coyote Ugly. Cameron Diaz (Any Given Sunday) and Cindy Crawford (Fair Game) also made the unfortunate top five.

Kanye you can afford it so just pay the bill already and then sell the house if you don’t want it. Don’t let your beloved mom’s place go out like that.



Natalya Said on

Why is everyone putting Kanye’s business out there anyway? I’m pretty sure there is a perfectly good reason for all of this, because it’s obvious not about the money.

Come on BET stop being so tacky. The man just lost his mother not his friend. Why would you post something like this. He has enough to deal with. Why would you expect him to comment on this? BET you are getting lighter and lighter by the day, pretty soon you will be looking like Michael Jackson.

That list sounds Bogus!!!! I mean there must be some SERIOUS haters working at KING to publish that list bashing some of the best actresses!!! Stop hating and be real because there are SO many actresses out there that deserve to be on the top of that list!!!

TACKY AS HELL BET! Let his mother rest in peace! If it was me, some one at BET would be getting a a$$ whooping right now.

Now as far as the actresses… Well they all had far worse Movie rolls then the ones listed i.e. – Halle Gothica was good, Monsters Ball – Hated it!, Cat woman – Just straight out sucked!
Garcelle Beauvais for her part in Wild, Wild West – it was just a bad move, needed a better plot.
The other actresses…hmmmm well, they dont matter much. (to me that is)

If Kanye was the least concerned about this info getting out. He would have paid the bill and we would have never known a thing. He’s obviously not pressed about it.
