Berry Inappropriate

Halle Berry appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to promote her new movie, Things We Lost In The Fire, but the preggers star started a little fire of her own while demonstrating Mac Photo Booth. "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," an audience member tells Page Six. "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." Another guest adds, "If you watch the clip, you can see Halle saying the word 'Jewish,' though obviously there is no audio. NBC covered her [butt]." Halle's apologized for the off-color remark, telling Page Six, "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." Halle says a Jewish pal originally made the joke, and it just slipped out of her mouth on the show. "It was just a lighthearted segment that was meant to make fun of myself," she says. "It was just supposed to be a silly segment. I am so sorry, and I apologize."
