Washington: Halle Berry says she will never go under the knife to save her beauty.

“I’m not one of those people who opts for plastic surgery, so my philosophy is to take care of what you have,” Contactmusic quoted her, as telling OK! magazine.

The 43-year-old star added, “I’m really serious about my skincare regimen at night. I never ever go to bed – or even nap – with make-up on.”

Meanwhile, the Oscar-winning actress is all set to receive The Sherry Lansing Leadership Award at annual Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment event on December 4.

The former Bond girl will grace the stage at the Beverly Hills Hotel in California at the industry publication’s 18th annual Power 100: Women in Entertainment breakfast.

Her predecessors to land the accolade include Meryl Streep and Jodie Foster, Glenn Close, US news anchor Barbara Walters and movie mogul Lansing herself.

Halle Berry has slammed the paparazzi for ignoring her pleas not to snap pictures of her baby daughter Nahla. The actress is fiercely protective of her 20-month-old baby girl, with partner Gabriel Aubry – and has had a turbulent relationship with photographers since becoming a mom.

Berry now insists she has had enough of flashbulbs following her little girl, and has hit out at snappers for having such little respect for celebrity parents and their children.

She says, “It has become horrifying… What they’re doing to children, it’s not right. And I know nobody has a lot of sympathy for celebrities because we’re blessed in so many ways. But these children should not be objectified. To be hunted down, it is flat out wrong.”

Halle Berry used to be attracted to abusive men.

The Oscar-winning beauty regularly witnessed her father attack her mother when she was growing up and says it affected her choice in partners.

She said: “My mother was a battered woman and that was my childhood for a good chunk of it.

“Early on in my life, I made choices, and I chose men that were abusive because that was what I knew growing up.”

However, she underwent therapy and learned what to do if and when a relationship became violent.

The 43-year-old actress has now found happiness with model Gabriel Aubry, the father of her 19-month-old daughter Nahla.

She is also using her experiences to help others who have suffered domestic abuse and works closely with the Jenesse Center, a Los Angeles-based shelter which provides support for victims.

Halle – who was honoured by the centre four years ago for her humanitarian work – said: “I care, I really care about these women and children.”

Halle Berry will host “For Love of Liberty: The Story of America’s Black Patriots,” a celebration of African-American veterans that will air on PBS stations in February.

Using primary source material including letters, diaries, speeches and military records, “Liberty” aims to document African-American battlefield accomplishments dating back to the Revolutionary War and its first casualty, Crispus Attucks.

Louis Gossett, Jr. is among those exec producing the special, which will be introduced by Colin Powell and narrated by Avery Brooks, with choral arrangements by Andrae Crouch. Frank Martin produced, co-wrote and directed.

“Our goal is to raise public consciousness about this extraordinary and little-known aspect of our nation’s history,” Martin said.

Others in the voice cast include Morgan Freeman, Mel Gibson, Susan Sarandon, Robert Duvall, Danny Glover, Jeffrey Wright, Sam Elliot and John Amos. “Liberty” was shot on location in 20 states as well as Europe.

The project will also be released on DVD in February. Other exec producers are Hillard Elkins, Dennis Considine, Richard Hull and Kevin Clark.

Natalie Morales interviews Oscar-winner Halle Berry about her work with the Jenesse Center, which provides shelter for domestic violence victims and teaches them self-sufficiency.

This will air Thursday, November 12 on “NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.”

A regular feature on the evening news, “Making a Difference” profiles ordinary people doing extraordinary things to help their neighbors — or even complete strangers — in these tough economic times.

In this special week, one-on-one interviews with each celebrity, combined with visits to some of the people whose lives they have touched, highlight the incredible work being done around the world.

NBC released the statement regarding Berry at the Jenesse Center for Thursday’s segment.

From NBC:

For the last ten years, Berry has vigorously supported the Los Angeles-based center that provides shelter for domestic violence victims and teaches them self-sufficiency. Having had one-on-one interaction with some of these women, Berry vigorously fund-raises and develops partnerships with companies that will bring more awareness to Jenesse Center’s services.
