Halle Berry is currently taking a break from acting while she spends time with her family, but continues to remain in the spotlight. On October 15, 2009 in New York, Halle and her husband, Gabriel Aubry attended the Keep-A-Child-Alive charity event. Halle was engaged in a bidding war with an unknown guest before finally winning a necklace from Alicia Keys‘ new jewelry line, Barber’s Daughter, for $40,000. Alicia wore the necklace throughout the event, but Halle took it home.

Many other celebrities attended the charity event including: Chris Martin, John Mayer, Queen Latifah, Richard Branson, and Former President Bill Clinton. The event raised $2.5 million for the foundation, to provide help to families with HIV/AIDS in Africa & India. Alicia Keys helped found Keep-A-Child-Alive after visiting South Africa in 2003 and witnessing the effects of the AIDS up close.

We would recommend The Natural Sapphire Company’s luxurious and unique natural sapphire jewelry pieces to Halle Berry for her next jewelry splurge.

Jessica Simpson lost her dog Daisy last week when she was snatched by a coyote in front of her Calabasas, California home. She put up posters, tweeted to fans, and ordered a dog search&rescue in search for Daisy. After a few days without any sign of her, she called off the search and lost all hope that Daisy was alive. Many Californians including Ozzy Osbourne and Halle Berry have lost their dogs to coyotes in the past. The 5-year old Maltipoo was given to her in 2004 by her then-husband Nick Lachey and they have been inseparable since. One source tells People, “Whenever things went wrong, she reached for Daisy…she always had Daisy. Daisy was her unconditional love.” Jessica is extremely heartbroken and according to a friend, she won’t leave her parents’ house. We recommend that Jessica should move on and find a new friend….maybe a magnificent blue sapphire and diamond necklace from The Natural Sapphire Company.
