• Singleton to direct Tulia, then Cage or Panther

  Fanboys eager to see Marvel Comics heroes Luke Cage and The Black Panther on the big screen could end up waiting quite a while before either one arrives in theaters.

  John Singleton, who is attached to direct both Luke Cage and The Black Panther, will first take on Tulia, based on the true story of 46 African-American residents of a small Texas town who were wrongly imprisoned in 1999 on dubious charges of drug possession. Halle Berry is set to star.

  Singleton starts principal photography on the film, which is already being dubbed the Erin Brockovich for African-Americans, in about two months, with a release date planned for sometime next summer.

  After that, it's either Cage or Panther -- Singleton hasn't decided yet which one he'll do first. "It depends on which script is available and which one is the best situation for me," he said yesterday in an exclusive interview with ReelzChannel.com.

• Halle Berry finally coming to terms with her hotness

  Perfect Stranger star Halle Berry recently reflected on the merits of turning 40 and the lessons she's learned:

  "I’ve become really comfortable with my sexuality and making no excuses for it anymore," said Berry. "It’s part of being a woman. It's part of what empowers us when we’re smart enough to know how to use it."

  I applaud Halle for having the courage to confront such a difficult issue. Interestingly enough, I've been comfortable with her sexuality for quite some time now. Good to see Halle catching up.

  Check out our full interview with the newly empowered star of Perfect Stranger.

• Halle Berry going bald

  While promoting her latest project, the thriller Perfect Stranger, star Halle Berry mentioned today that she intends to shave her head entirely for one of her upcoming projects, the romantic comedy Nappily Ever After. "I'm gonna be greasehead bald," the Catwoman star boasted.

  Now, I can certainly understand it when actors ugly themselves up for Oscar, but for a romantic comedy? It's not like shaving her head will make the movie funnier. Besides, the title alone indicates that she's already struck comedy gold.

  It looks like Berry's Oscar win for Monster's Ball is finally paying off. Years ago, she could never have dreamed of having access to projects of obvious quality like Nappily Ever After.
