USA - Halle Berry Makes an Anti-Semitic Remark

The actress went on Jay Leno's show to promote her new film, Things We Lost in the Fire, and had a slight screw up when a comic bit took an unplanned turn. Halle was showing Jay and his audience images of herself on her computer using the Mac program Photo Booth, when a not-so-appropriate comment flew out of her mouth.

According to one audience member, "She introduced the first photo by saying, 'Here's where I look like my Jewish cousin!' - it was a picture of her with a huge, distorted nose. No one laughed, and Jay nervously said, 'I'm glad you said that and not me.' When the show aired, they cut out her 'Jewish' comment and added a laugh track to the bit."

Berry told last night: "I so didn't mean to offend anybody - and after the show I realized it could be seen as offensive, so I asked Jay to take it out, and he did."
