Halle Warns the Help: Don't Speak to Me!
Money is no object to Halle Berry, but meaningless chatter, on the other hand, pisses her off.
TMZ has learned that an Orange County painting company has been called to spruce up cabinets in Halle Berry's Los Angeles home, which the Oscar winner has been remodeling for over a year. The company has been asked to merely stain the existing wood cabinets in the kitchen ... with a staggering $57,000 pricetag!
The contract between the actress and all those doing work on her property has a few interesting clauses: First, any worker is prohibited to approach Berry while in the home or on the premises. Second, no one is allowed to speak to the A-list Miss B at any time. Finally, the only approved interaction is if Halle speaks to you, then you may answer Her Fineness.
When you're getting 57 large to stain kitchen cabinets, one keeps one's mouth shut.

Re: Halle Warns the Help: Don't Speak to Me!
i can see how this is a little over the top.. but seriously imagine being her and you just want to do your thing in your house, but these workers are all swarming around, trying to talk to you, etc... i can kind of see where she's coming from

thats what I was thinking too and Im sure celebs have to be a little more cautious because anything they say can end up twisted in the tabloids.

I agree, but the least she can do is take like 15 minutes to take pictures or sign autographs.
she is a celebrity, that's part of it.

And in 10 years when no one remembers who she is she will be begging people to recognize her.

Exactly. At first it bothered me, but then really letting anyone into your home can be a potentially bad situation for a celeb.

Good point and I never even think of this.

The least she can do in her OWN HOME??? I'm sorry - but that's RIDICULOUS!! I'm no great Halle Berry fan, but I imagine home is the ONLY place she can unwind and be herself - she should sign autographs and pose for pics with people working in her house??

I completely agree.
especially since so many people probably think that if they can get an "in" with a 'star', then they'll be set for life 
i don't even like to make phone calls when i'm at home-- i just want to relax and not be disturbed.

While I agree with that, she could've gone about it a little differently. She's making it sound like she's a goddess or something that is far superior than everybody else.

Years ago, when Bill Cosby was still famous, he had the same thing in his contract. My brother worked in his house.
