I don’t know about you, but I keep saying Halle Berry when referring to Halle Bailey. So was the 23-year-old named after the Oscar-winning actress?
“Well, my family has always loved Halle Berry. She is amazing,” The Little Mermaid told Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos on Live with Kelly and Mark. “Originally, when I was a baby, they wanted to name me Hailey. But my last name is Bailey. So that wouldn’t have worked…So then they ultimately decided on Halle. And it is very similar to Halle Berry. But there is no one else I would rather have a similar name to her. She’s so cool.”
Does Bailey think Berry is cool in person too? The two met at the Oscars, and Bailey thinks her namesake is “like an angel!”
If I were the Oscar 2024 Oscar producer, I would have the two of them present together at the awards show. Could you imagine?
UPDATE: The Halles had a conversation about this reveal. To see what they said, then click here!
Before Halle Bailey was the star of a musical like The Little Mermaid, she was Choir Girl #1 in Joyful Noise. How awwwwdorable was the 11-year-old in that 2012 movie?
Manifest is the little show that could. NBC canceled it, but Netflix saved it. Because of that, the series about a plane that mysteriously landed five years after it took off, as no time had passed, is getting to its death date.
That death date is June 2nd, and today we got to see the trailer for the final episodes. And all I can say is wow!
Here is what we can expect on 6/2 when all of the episodes drop. In the aftermath of Angelina unleashing a devastating volcanic fissure, the passengers face severe scrutiny in a world fueled by 828er hate, no longer free to solve their own Callings without constant supervision by the unscrupulous 828 Registry. A mysterious accident delivers ominous warnings on a biblical scale that will further jeopardize the livelihood of all the passengers. As Michaela grieves the loss of her beloved husband Zeke, she must team up with her old flame Jared to find new methods to investigate Callings. Meanwhile, Ben and Saanvi attempt to collaborate with the Registry authorities, which only leads to dire results for the passengers. Miraculously, a mythological event reactivates Cal’s sapphire-laden dragon scar, offering a glimmer of hope for the 828ers to survive the rapidly approaching Death Date. But Angelina’s nefarious sapphire powers continue to wreak havoc, leading to a struggle between good and evil down to their very last day in this most terrifying, suspenseful and joyous chapter of the Manifest story.
Back in 2008, Billy Joel played the last concert at Shea Stadium before they tore it down. Since it was such a monumental event, the singer invited some of his friends from low places to join him on the field. They were musicians like Garth Brooks and Steven Tyler.
The Country singer has an interesting story from that night, and he shared it with Kelly Clarkson on her daytime talk show.
Brooks told her that he showered with the Aerosmith singer. What? How have we not heard this before? Because it is not as exciting as it should’ve been.
Basically, he wanted to shower before the show, and all they had was the open showers you have in locker rooms. He thought he had it all to himself, but he didn’t. When he cleaned off her soap-covered eyes, he noticed that Tyler was in there with him like it was no big deal.
That is the difference between someone in a band and someone who is a solo act!
