Halle Berry’s ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry was arrested for investigation of battery on Thursday after he and the Oscar-winning actress’s current boyfriend got into a fight at her Hollywood Hills home, police said.
Aubry, 37, was booked for investigation of a battery, a misdemeanour, and released on $20,000 bail, according to online jail records. He’s scheduled to appear in court December 13. Aubry came to Berry’s house Thanksgiving morning and police responded to a report of an assault, said Los Angeles police officer Julie Boyer. Aubry was injured in the altercation and was taken to a hospital where he was treated and released.
Emails sent to Berry’s publicist, Meredith O’Sullivan, and Aubry’s family law attorney, Gary Fishbein, were not immediately returned.

Rejected Beatles’ audition tape discovered
London: The Beatles’ audition tape, that was infamously rejected by a record company boss, has been discovered after 50 years and is being sold at an auction. In what came to be known as one of the worst decisions in music history, Decca producer Dick Rowe turned the group down, believing “guitar groups are on the way out”.
John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and original drummer Pete Best ended up signing with EMI and went on to become the greatest band of all time. Ringo Starr later replaced Best. The group were also told by Rowe that ‘they had no future in show business’ following the 1962 audition, during which they recorded a ten-track demo tape. Now the original safety master tape the group recorded at Decca’s London studios on New Year’s Day 1962 has come to public light for the first time. — PTI
