Halle Berry was caught going off on and confronting a paparazzi yesterday outside her daughter’s school. The paparazzi had followed Halle to her daughter’s school, where the actress went ballistic.

The Oscar winner was picking up daughter Nahla from school in Beverly Hills when she was spotted—and duly photographed—shaking her fists at something (or someone) in the parking lot.

So, what had gotten Berry’s summery, turquoise maxidress-clad goat?

Would you believe the very person who captured her ire was also the one doing the irking?

“It is inappropriate for these people to stalk a child’s school everyday,” a source close to Berry tells E! News, “these people” being the paparazzi who chronicle an awful lot of Berry’s comings and goings.

“They pushed too far [today],” the source added. “Halle felt that her daughter was being threatened. Having words with someone who is stalking your family is not out of line.”

No one officially reported a pap-vs.-A-lister confrontation going down at the school, so it appears that Berry was able to collect her daughter without further incident and be on her way.

But this isn’t the first time that Berry’s movements have been plagued by unwanted attention. She filed a criminal complaint in 2008 against a photo agency that was circulating pictures the actress claims were taken of her and Nahla in their backyard rather than out and about.

What do you think – was Halle overreacting or did she have a right to go nuts?

…and lots of it!  Seems like Halle Berry may be in a pickle with Ex Gabriel Aubry.

Aubry and Berry were in court today, and Aubrey seemed pretty upset! Seems as though Berry’s model Ex is asking the judge for a half a million bucks in attorney’s fees and $20,000 a month in child support,  a substantial increase in what he is getting currently, TMZ has learned.

Aubry believes he’s entitled to the money to create a proper child-rearing environment to care for their 4-year-old daughter, Nahla.  Berry was considering moving to Paris with Nahla when this whole conflict erupted.

Halle Berry is finally confirming that she’s engaged to boyfriend, Olivier Martinez. Which is a lot, considering the Oscar-winner once swore she’d “never, never” get married again!

Halle and Olivier have been dating since meeting on-set in 2010. In January, the french actor, 46, proposed to Halle (who has been married twice before.)

Halle’s been mum about the engagement, until now:

Opening up to Extra at an event Saturday, the Dark Tide star laughed when asked about her engagement to Martinez. “Who knew? I swore [marriage] off, right?”

Added Berry, “Never say never, people!”

Martinez, for his part, finally confirmed the couple’s engagement in March, telling Miami.com, “Yes, of course we’re engaged!”

Prior to meeting the actor-turned-restauranteur, a source told Us that Berry really had “given up” on marriage–but changed her tune as soon as she got to know Martinez, and saw how wonderful a father he would make to Nahla, her 4-year-old daughter with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry.

“She trusts Olivier,” the source shared. “He makes her feel safe. He’s a keeper!”

What do you think about her animal-print dress? So many people got all fired up about it. I don’t really care either way. What do you think?

PS: This woman does not age! Look at her skin!

Gabriel Aubry is reportedly fed up with Halle Berry dragging him to court over ‘baseless claims’ about the care of his daughter Nahla. His child endangerment case was dropped yesterday and he’s relieved, but weary that she’ll try it again.  A source tells RadarOnline that he’s ready to sue if she keeps it up.

“If he gets dragged in again over baseless claims, that are found to be unsubstantiated and lacking evidence, he will sue her,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. “Gabe has had enough and is extremely frustrated with Halle. All of the proceedings in their custody case are sealed but if he were to file a lawsuit against her it would be made public. Gabe has had to jump through hoops because of Halle’s accusations when he takes care of Nahla, and NONE of it has been found to have any merit.”

“Gabe’s friends want the world to know the real Halle Berry. However, Gabriel has had many offers to write books and give interviews in exchange for a big payday, but he has turned them all down. One day, Nahla is going to be old enough to understand what was going on between her parents, and he wants to be able to look his daughter in the eye and say everything he has done has been for her,” an insider says. “Writing a book would be a great way to get back at Halle but what would that get him? Gabe always thinks of his daughter when making any decision. Halle should count her lucky stars that her ex is being a gentleman, especially under these circumstances.

“If Halle truly had the best interests of their daughter in mind she would work with Gabe to co-parent and raise Nahla. Sadly, Gabe doesn’t think that she will do that and he isn’t going to be playing Mr. Nice Guy anymore.”

I’m sure he’s frustrated, but his friends shouldn’t get involved.  There seems to be enough gasoline on this fire the way it is. Hopefully Gabriel and Halle can move past this battle and focus on co-parenting Nahla peacefully.

A small victory for Gabriel Aubry today!  TMZ reports that Gabriel was back in dependency court this morning for a hearing in his child endangerment case.  Halle’s team was hoping that more restrictions would be placed on Gabriel’s visitation with Nahla, but the judge dropped the case completely.  Up until now, Gabriel had to have a monitor with him at all visits and return Nahla by 6pm, among other things.

Things aren’t settled just yet.  Now Gabriel will have to continue to battle ex Halle Berry over custody issues in family court.  The biggest one: Halle’s request to move Nahla to France.

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry have been battling it out in court over their daughter Nahla ever since their split.  Halle just dumped her LONG time lawyer Neal Hersh and hired a pitbull attorney to help her with the battle.   Here’s TMZ explanation:

Here’s the lowdown.  Our sources tell us Halle wants to go after her baby daddy Gabriel Aubry with nuclear weapons — metaphorically speaking — and she thinks Hersh is too much of a gentleman to wage that kind of legal war, even though he has guided Halle through 2 divorces, a custody war and various other legal skirmishes.

So we’ve learned Halle has hired Stephen Kolodny, who is legendary in L.A. legal circles for the level of legal warfare she so wants.  You may recall Kolodny repped Mel Gibson in his epic battle with Oksana Grigorieva — and that got kinda nasty.

Kolodny has already gone to court with Halle. We’ve learned last Thursday the new duo went to dependency court to have more restrictions placed on Aubry.  The dependency judge has already ordered that Gabriel can only have contact with Nahla in the presence of a monitor. On Thursday, we’re told the judge voiced additional concerns and ordered Gabriel to return the child to Halle earlier than the 6 PM deadline on days he has custody.

Kolodny will have his hands full trying to convince the family law judge that Halle should be able to move to France with the child because she’s concerned about paparazzi and safety.

I know that we don’t REALLY know everything that goes on, but from what we see/read, I feel bad for Gabriel.  He seems to have to fight for every minute with his daughter – and with a monitor watching.  I understand that some women can get really freaky overprotective and it’s hard to deal with the fact that you aren’t in control of their time away from you, but man! Poor Nahla.
