Halle Berry: Madeo Mommy

Being a new mommy is hard work. And even stars like Halle Berry need an occasional respite from all of the rigorous responsibilities of having a little one.

The “Monster’s Ball” hottie was spotted taking a break from her motherly duties with a casual lunch out at Los Angeles’ Madeo restaurant yesterday (July 23).

Miss Berry looked comfy and casual in a short black halter-style dress along with a matching handbag and a pair of beaded white sandals as she made her way past the paparazzi.

Of the transition from acting to motherhood, Halle told press, "I've accomplished things I never thought I would. Now my sights are set on a different chapter in my life, which is motherhood."
