Happy Suck Up To Halle Berry Day!

In an honor that is no way connected to Sony Pictures' promotional efforts for her upcoming release Perfect Stranger, junket-suicide survivor Halle Berry will today be granted show business immortality for a celebrated body of work that includes Catwoman, Swordfish, and a particularly poignant turn in B*A*P*S by receiving a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, an honor so rare that tourists spending a long weekend in the city may witness only one or two such induction ceremonies during their stay. Right about now, you're probably experiencing pangs of guilt over your failure to take out a full-page ad in the trades sucking up to the actress on her big day, hoping that your gesture of respect might lead to a future business relationship. Fret not: Her agents, lawyers, managers, and a couple of studios have filled Variety with enough expressions of conspicuous sycophancy that your thoughtlessness will hardly be noticed.
