Halle Berry trolls ex David Justice after 'motherly' comments
Halle Berry trolls ex David Justice after 'motherly' comments originally appeared on The Sporting News Halle Berry is getting the last laugh. The Oscar-winning actress uploaded a series of photos to her Instagram while she enjoyed her 59th birthday on Thursday (Aug. 14). Berry shared photos of herself laughing while she was on vacation with her boyfriend Van Hunt, following the viral comments her ex-husband, David Justice, said about her earlier this week. The retired MLB player got on former NBA star Matt Barnes' 'All the Smoke' podcast, where he threw some shade at his ex-wife. 'There really wasn't a lot of negative attention until I decided to leave her in 1996,' the ex-Yankees star said. '… She asked me to marry her after knowing me for five months. I said, 'OK' because I couldn't say no … but I don't know if my heart was really into it." '… My knowledge and wisdom around relationships wasn't vast," Justice continued. "So I'm looking at my mom, and I'm a midwest guy, so in my mind I'm thinking, a wife at that time should cook, clean — and then I'm thinking, 'OK if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with or a family with. 'And at that time, as a young guy, she don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem like motherly and then we start having issues,' he said. However, Berry didn't pay any mind and shared her photos of her enjoying wine on a boat while she celebrated her 59th birthday. The actress trolled Justice by captioning her vacation photos, "Phew…! cooking, cleaning and mothering," she wrote. Berry got a lot of support in the comment section, with one person writing, "I love this so much!!!!" "Your light means so much to me! Thank you for shining so brightly!" another fan wrote. "Halle got em' in they feelings all these years later!" another fan commented. Justice has been married to Rebecca Villalobos since 2001 and they share three children together. Berry has a daughter named Nahla Ariela Aubry and a son named Maceo-Robert Martinez. She shares her daughter with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry and her son with her ex-husband Oliver Martinez.

MLB players drop $11K on luxury 'lucky charm' necklaces as new trend takes off
Professional baseball players have been making fashion statements even while they're out the field — sparking a hot new trend. A slew of MLB players have been sporting necklaces from French jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels (VCA). The necklaces run for around $11,000 as they flaunt the brand's signature symbol of the Alhambra. The Van Cleef Alhambra collection draws inspiration from the four-leaf clover, according to Sotheby's website. The Alhambra is "a universal symbol of luck, and the Moorish quatrefoil, a motif rooted in architectural traditions." The collection was inspired by the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain, known for its grand arches and elaborate geometric motifs. Major League Jewelers, located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is taking credit for launching the new craze. Shop owner Joseph Tacher told Fox News Digital that Miguel Rojas of the Los Angeles Dodgers was the first player to request a piece. Rojas has been seen donning an onyx Alhambra necklace while also rotating the matching VCA earrings or a mother-of-pearl Sweet Butterflies pair. Infielder Junior Caminero of the Tampa Bay Rays has been seen with an onyx necklace — while also seen sporting two Alhambra bracelets when not on the field. Van Cleef & Arpels has strong ties to Monaco royalty, with Prince Rainier III gifting American actress Grace Kelly a wedding set resplendent with pearls and diamonds. The French jewelry house was then named the "patented supplier of the Principality of Monaco," according to the VCA website. Outfielder Joc Pederson of the Texas Rangers has also been seen on the field wearing green and white necklaces. "MLB players love our pieces because they are both beautiful and versatile — you can dress them up or dress them down," he said. "You can dress them up or dress them down." Tacher said that Major League Jewelers has been receiving numerous requests for the jewelry from many MLB clients. "I always tell the players if you look good, you play good. And if you play good, you get paid good," he said. Major League Jewelers has been in the jewelry business for over 35 years. Tacher said the organization has been receiving an influx of requests from players for the jewelry. He said his shop worked with MLB players before, noting that Hall of Famer David Ortiz, known as "Big Papi," has purchased custom jewelry. The shop has made headlines for supplying many Houston Astros players with their gold chains. It held a showcase at the Seattle Mariners clubhouse. Fox News Digital reached out to Van Cleef & Arpels for comment.
