Halle Berry stuns with swimsuit photos while on desert vacation
The 58-year-old "Monster's Ball" actress posted a series of swimsuit photos from her desert oasis while on vacation in Joshua Tree, Calif. The photos feature Berry in a black and white one-piece swimsuit with a cutout on the lower back.
"Desert days 🌵 windows down, music up, nowhere to be but here," she captioned the post.
In a few of the photos, Berry can be seen standing outside in front of a large glass window as she smiled at the camera, and others showed her giving the camera playful sultry looks as she played around with poses incorporating her large black sunhat.
Most of the photos were taken from the waist up, but the actress also included two full-body selfies, which not only showed off her toned body, but also the stunning rocky landscape surrounding her.
Fans in the comments section were quick to comment with heart and fire emojis, while others commented on her beauty.
"Summer looks amazing on you queen @halleberry cheers!" one fan wrote, while another added, "Always stunning!" A third follower chimed in with, "Most beautiful woman in the world 😍."
"Desert days 🌵 windows down, music up, nowhere to be but here."
This isn't the first time Berry has showcased her toned body on Instagram. In honor of the 20th anniversary of her iconic movie, "Catwoman," last year, the actress posted topless photos of herself on Instagram, in which she is holding her two kittens in strategic positions to cover her chest while wearing a black mask to pay homage to the character.
"And STILL... meow! It's been 20 years today since I had the honor of bringing this iconic character to life," Berry captioned the post. "She will always be close to my heart and I will forever be Patience Phillips aka CATWOMAN!"
The actress first broke out onto the scene following her role in the 1992 movie, "Boomerang," which led to an Emmy win in 2000 for "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge," and an Academy Award win for "Monster's Ball," in 2002.
In addition to "Catwoman," Berry has starred in a number of action movies, including "Die Another Day," the "X-Men" trilogy, "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum," "The Union" and many others.
In August 2024, Berry said in a Netflix video on Instagram, she has been injured many times while making these films.
"I've been knocked out three times, got an arm broken, broke ribs twice… two ribs one time, three ribs another time… broke a tail bone, broke two toes and a finger. This finger," she said as she held up her middle finger.

Listen up WNBA fans, players are fed up with sex toy bit, so can you please keep it in your pants?
The WNBA has been busy making headlines for rising in popularity, having rookie players that are breaking records, and being extremely queer. But lately, the league has been in the news because colorful dildos have been flying onto the court during games. At first, it seemed comical, playful even, and maybe a good luck charm for the Golden State Valkyries, who won both games where a dildo ended up on the court. But now, women's sports fans, it's time to talk because you've taken it too far. It's not funny anymore. The first lime green dildo was thrown onto the court of a contentious game between the Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream on July 29 in Georgia. Almost the entirety of the internet thought the incident was hilarious and quickly got busy making memes. But then it just kept happening. The bizarre trend continued a few days later at an August 1 game between the Valkyries and the Chicago Sky. The third time this happened, Indian Fever star Sophie Cunningham ended up getting hit in the head with the sex toy after telling people on X (formerly Twitter) to 'stop throwing dildos on the court… you're going to hurt one of us.' Then, someone tried to throw another green dildo at a New York Liberty game, but instead of it landing on the court, it nearly hit a child, according to a video posted on social media. Once a sex toy almost nails a kid in the head, it's time to look at what we're doing. At first, we wondered if this wasn't a funny, tongue-in-cheek way to call out just how sapphic the game has gotten, but now that a man has been arrested and said that it was 'supposed to be a joke' and 'go viral,' the intentions seem more problematic. Being taken seriously as a female athlete is already a tough assignment, and having sex toys flying left and right during games isn't helping, especially at a time when WNBA players are fighting for better compensation and revenue sharing. Bottom line: women's sports are not a joke. And while we'd like to think this started as a harmless prank that gave us all a chuckle, it's starting to smack of sexism. In the beginning even some of the players seemed to laugh along. Fever guard Sydney Colson even went on her podcast dressed a green dildo, but then things kept escalating and other players started pointing out how 'disrespectful' and 'dangerous' it is. 'It's super disrespectful,' Sky center Elizabeth Williams said after he game against the Valkyries, per Front Office Sports. 'I don't really get the point of it. It's really immature. Whoever's doing it just needs to grow up.' Sparks coach Lynne Roberts also said, 'It's ridiculous, it's dumb, it's stupid. It's also dangerous. Player safety is number one, respecting the game, all those things. I think it's really stupid.' And GOAT Diana Taurasi had the perfect response for the jokesters, 'I would have picked that thing up and thrown it right back at them.' Maybe we should all just listen to the players themselves. So whoever is keeping this 'joke' going, whether they are straight or gay, it's time to call it quits. The bit is getting tired anyway, right?

Humor: Sex was not why our non-monogamous relationship failed
The truth is even dirtier. You uptight monogamists are wrong. You think the human tendency to be jealous of anyone getting down and dirty with 'their' partner means that ethical non-monogamous relationships are always destined to fail. But, with superior communication skills, unreasonably high levels of confidence, and a genius for compartmentalization, a relationship where you each have sex with multiple partners can TOTALLY work. Excellent time management skills are helpful too. Finding, scheduling, and having sex with all these other people does not happen by itself! Not every ENM relationship lasts forever, of course. But that doesn't mean they all end due to jealousy or one of you falling in love with someone else you're having sex with. When my nearly 7-month relationship with my ex-boyfriend, Frank, ended it had nothing to do with either of those things. First, Frank showed up 25 minutes late to my birthday dinner at The BratHaus. He brought two women he'd met on Hinge. It was so embarrassing. Not because he couldn't give me his full attention even on my birthday. What upset me was that he didn't call the restaurant ahead of time and change the reservation from 2 to 4! So rude! That poor waitress had to drag over another heavy wine barrel table to accommodate us. Sex with multiple partners is nice but, proper restaurant etiquette is important to me. Second, Frank's other girlfriend, Susie, would often sleep over on Thursdays to do role-play, which I had no problem with. (I was usually at Nathan's house anyway with Gary. ) What upset me is that he put Susie's Little Red Riding Hood costume in the washing machine with my delicates even after I told him how crucial it was to always separate whites and darks! I couldn't decide if I was more upset by the laundry carelessness or that I now had a whole load of pink clothes. It really got my goat. (Not a euphemism!) On the third Saturday of every month, Frank's friend Stanley would sleep over. The next morning Frank would make Stanley an elaborate breakfast in bed. Was I upset that Frank never brought me breakfast in bed? No, my ego can handle that, no problem! I DIDN'T CARE. What I did care about was that he left a million dirty pots and pans all over the kitchen until at least 3 pm when they would finally emerge from the guest room. Sweaty. And Frank would hand wash them all in the sink. This, I can't tolerate! Dishwashers are 10x more water efficient than hand washing. I need a partner who cares about water conservation. Not long after that, a new guy I'd recently met at hot yoga, Jean-Claude, and I were barbecuing on the grill out back. When I finally found the BBQ sauce hiding in the fridge, I discovered Frank giving Jean-Claude a shoulder massage. This was unexpected — I didn't think Jean-Claude was one of Frank's many, many types. But it didn't bother me! What upset me was when I went to shake the bottle before pouring it on the ribs, BBQ sauce flew out of the bottle and splattered all over me — and they laughed. Granted, it must have looked funny. And I can forgive Jean-Claude for this since it was so shocking, but not Frank. That's because I have repeatedly told Frank not to just place lids on top of condiment bottles and jars without screwing them on tight! So annoying. And this was not the first time Frank saw me get a sauce bath! So he should not have been laughing. But what finally made me decide to dump Frank and insist he move out was when I came home from working a double shift and discovered him in my bed with his ex-wife Evelyn. Again, I was not jealous, I was mad because I had just put clean sheets on the bed that morning and Frank knows how much I always enjoy the first night in a bed with clean sheets. And he and Evelyn stole this from me! They could have used the guest room or even the sex room in the basement, that is literally for sex! Why on my fresh clean sheets?? I realized that I can't be in a relationship with a man who disregards my pleasures and preferences like that, no matter how good our sex is on Monday nights and every other Wednesday morning. So, you see? It wasn't jealousy. I'm incapable of jealousy. Go ahead, have sex with my new boyfriend, Greg, and his secondary, Cherie, right now if you want! In front of me! I want a partner who believes in the joy and freedom of the ENM lifestyle. But I also need one who knows how to load a dishwasher, respects my love of clean sheets, understands proper restaurant etiquette, knows how to do laundry, and is always willing to give 100% in screwing, not just in the bedroom (or sex room), but also the lids on sauces and condiments!

Bob Iger Insists Disney's Focus Is on Original Movies—but Is It?
A glance at the list of announced films coming from Walt Disney Studios—including Disney's live-action and animated divisions, plus Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Studios, Searchlight Pictures, and more—will tell you a few things. The biggest is that the upcoming slate leans heavily toward sequels, reboots, remakes, and new entries in well-known series, something the company's CEO, Bob Iger, seemed to hedge against in a recent earnings call. 'I wouldn't say that we've got a priority one way or the other,' The Wrap reports he said in response to a question about whether or not the studio is leaning more into original or familiar titles. 'Our priority is to put out great movies that ultimately resonate with consumers, and the more we can find and develop original property, the better.' But while Iger understands the value of 'creating new IP,' he's also not about to turn his back on Disney's popular existing IP, either. He acknowledged that sequels and films that 'bring [existing IP] forward in a more modern way, as we've done, or convert what was previously animation to live action… it's just a great opportunity for the company and supports our franchises.' He used the live-action Moana, due in 2026, as an example. That series in particular is riding high after 2024's smash hit animation Moana 2, an achievement made even more impressive because it was originally intended to be a Disney+ project rather than a theatrical release. It's the perfect positive focal point for Disney shareholders, the audience for today's earnings call. That said, it may be a bit unfair to peek at Disney's future calendar, which is stuffed full of well-known IP, and declare that Disney isn't making an effort to create original films. Most of the films the studio dates well in advance—from the upcoming Tron: Ares to the Avatar sequels, The Mandalorian and Grogu, Toy Story 5, Frozen III, and the next Avengers films—are those big franchise films that will benefit from fan excitement, even years in advance. And it's no secret Disney's top priority is making money, same as every other Hollywood studio. To get a true feeling for whether or not Iger is speaking the truth, you'd need to time-warp into the future a few years, then look back at all the titles that actually got released over a certain span of time. Maybe there'd be more original movies than we think. However, we must also note that Iger's definition of what constitutes 'original' is not what you might expect. Like, say, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. He's aware other studios have made Fantastic Four movies before, of course. But also: 'We kind of consider the one that we did an original property in many respects, because we're introducing those characters to people who are not familiar with them at all.' Sir… that is a reboot. You made a reboot. What do you make of Iger's remarks regarding Disney's priorities when it comes to making original films? Want more io9 news?
