This Just In: Halle Berry & Her Man Buy Canadian Country Crib

CasaSugar — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 12:00:37 -0700

Rumor has it, according to Real Estalker, that Halle Berry and her Canadian native model man, Gabriel Aubry, have purchased a gorgeous lakefront 63-acre spread for $1.85 million in Saint-Hippolyte, Québec, a small town about 30 miles north of Montréal. Aubry's parents live not far in a suburb of Montréal, so it will be nice for the couple's daughter, Nahla Ariela Aubry, to be near her grandparents. Aubry is reportedly excited about moving back to his native neck of the woods, saying, "It feels great. Anything we can do in our own hometown is always a good feeling." It also can't hurt to move into this stunning cabin. With a clawfoot tub, platform bed, and a pair of Adirondack chairs overlooking the lake, it looks downright serene. What a wonderful escape from the bustle of Hollywood. To see additional photos, read more.

Açai berries may be the latest power fruit to hit Whole Foods shelves, but that's no reason not to delight in the adorable puckered tops and bulbous shapes of last season’s trendy grocery, the pomegranate. If you’re celebrating Hanukkah this year, you can enjoy the "pom" when you pick up the Michael Aram Pomegranate Menorah ($150), a stunning bronze luminary with a leafy, branch base. You can also check out Aram's collection of other pomegranate-festooned items. Didn’t you hear? “Deck the halls with boughs of pommy,” is the latest power ditty.

I've told you about his country home, his textiles, and his pottery, and now I have the pleasure of telling you that Jonathan Adler and his longtime sweetie Simon Doonan were married today in my town, San Francisco! The couple first made it legal at San Francisco's gorgeous City Hall, and later in the afternoon had a more formal Jewish ceremony.

To find out details, read more.

According to SF Unzipped,

They've been together 14 years, and there were no misty eyes in Room 168, where they signed the marriage papers, Doonan said. "It was fun and happy,'' But, Adler said, it was very romantic, nevertheless.

"I turned off the ringer on my BlackBerry. That's very romantic; it's a big deal for me to do that.''

Congratulations to the happy couple!
