Berry's Big Break Halle Berry's been the topic of choice lately. From polls on her being tight-lipped to articles covering her hit-and-run car accident. Perhaps Halle's unfavorable limelight will die down a little bit now since she's been charged with the misdemeanor of leaving an accident scene. She could have been charge with a hit-and-run felony. But she still faces up to one year in jail and a $10,000 fine if convicted. The felony charge carries a maximum sentence of three years in the state pen. Accident investigators took into account that Halle was dazed by the accident but did report the incident when she arrived at a hospital for medical treatment. Her head was gashed and required 10 stitches. The woman driving the other vehicle suffered a broken wrist. She has since sued Halle for damages in a civil suit.

Turns out, Jason was drunk. And that's what Catherine's passenger is claiming in a newly filed lawsuit against the future Mrs. Michael Douglas. Movie editor Petra von Oelffen filed suit against her former friend, saying Catherine was negligent when she drove her Range Rover into a tree. Catherine only suffered minor bruises but Petra's ankle was broken. The amount of damages are still unspecified but include hospital expenses, wage loss and loss of earning capacity. With all of these celebrity car crashes, you have to wonder...Whatever happened to chauffeur's
