LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Actress Halle Berry has filed for divorce from her husband, R&B singer Eric Benet, a spokeswoman said.
Publicist Karen Samfilippo confirmed the filing Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court but declined to comment.
The couple were married about three years and separated in October. This is the second divorce for the actress, who was previously married to former baseball outfielder David Justice.
Tabloids speculated about Benet's faithfulness from nearly the moment the "X-Men" star married Benet in January 2001.
The two met in 1999 at a party to celebrate the premiere of Berry's HBO movie "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge," about the first black woman nominated for a best-actress Oscar with 1954's "Carmen Jones."
Berry won a Golden Globe and an Emmy for the Dandridge role. She then became the first black woman to win a best-actress Oscar for her work in 2001's "Monster's Ball."
Benet has a young daughter, India, from a previous relationship with a girlfriend who was killed in car crash 15 months after the girl was born.
His first album, "True to Myself," was released in 1996. He has had such hits as "Spend My Life With You" and "Love Don't Love Me."
ARRRGGHHHHHH !!!!! Halle Beery is 50% white, 50% black. Why do they insist on saying she's a black woman, because of the color of her skin ? I thought we, as a society, wasn't suppose to judge people on their skin color ? Based on her hertitage, she's as much white as black - geeeez, what a racist worl we live in , and the ones that try to be politically correct actually lay the foundation for the racism that exists !

More and more in our Melting Pot, people are forced to choose which section of their bloodline will be their given identity. Some use their last name, others use skin color. What's the big deal. Nothing that can be printed or spoken can detract from one accomplishments or vice versa.
As in your case, Stealthycat. You are, in truth, a fine Yankee man, yet you choose to cling to a Southern heritage out of geographical convenience and a natural innate fear of being lynched.

True.
I guess she left her hubby for me. We will work on that 50% and see if we can get a 75% 25% children. She sure is easy to look at.

Look at Tiger, He's always considerd black even though he is less than 50% black. I've never heard him complain about it either.
Halle is great to look at, but she must be some sort of a nut to live with, or like one of my highschool buddy's car "all show and no go". Those are the only two reasons that I can think of why these guys are cheating on her all the time.

My wife made a big deal about this as well, but I don't see the point. People label (and allow others to do so) themselves according to what they want, not what they are. Hollywood is full of BS, movies are overpriced, and I've got a whole shelf of hunting DVDs at home. I don't worry about Halle.
RE: this Halle Berry thing ... I'm getting mad again
I agree....
Let's look at my heritage (if you don't mind). I wonder what I could claim for entitlements?
Born: Manchester, NH
Raised: Poughkeepsie, NY
Current: Richmond, VA
Ethnicity/Heritage: German, English, Irish, Scottish, French, Norwegian, and Lord only knows what else!
Religion: Presbyterian
Political: Republican
Misc: 6'0", 212 lbs, average 43yr old white guy.
After reading the above stats, what can I claim? Am I entitled to anything? [8D]
