The mother-of-one, who had appeared in good spirits while filming earlier in the day, was rushed to the Cedars-Sinai Hospital in LA shortly after the incident occurred at around 10pm last night. 

 A spokesperson for the actress said she has since been released from hospital, adding in a statement: 'Halle Berry suffered a minor head injury while shooting a fight sequence on the set of her film, The Hive. 

 'She was taken to the hospital as a precaution, but she checked out healthy and was released. She'll continue production as planned.' Following the accident, the set was shut down soon afterwards. 

Earlier in the day, Halle, 45, looked happy and cheery as she waved to fans while the crew set up shots on location in southern central Los Angeles. The thriller, which is set against the backdrop of a 911 call centre, also stars Abigail Breslin, who first shot to fame in Little Miss Sunshine.

Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis officially announce split after months of rumours

Very sad news this evening – Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis have officially parted ways after 14 years together. A representative for the couple told US magazine tonight: “Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis have amicably separated. 

 “Please respect their privacy and, more importantly, the privacy of their children.” The Hollywood couple never married, but have two children together Lily-Rose, 13, and son Jack, 10. Johnny, 49, and French singer Vanessa, 39, have kept their relationship extremely private, refusing to acknowledge a split despite rumours that they've been living separate lives for months. 

 Speaking about why they never got married in the past, Johnny said in 2010: "I never found myself needing that piece of paper. "Marriage is really from soul to soul, heart to heart. You don't need somebody to say, okay you're married." Earlier this year, Vanessa spoke about the concept of love and soul-mates in an interview with Stylist magazine.

 She said: "I believe in love and I want to believe that it lasts forever. "But I'm like everyone else, you have to take things a day at a time and you can never know what comes next. All you can do is hope and love and live." And in a rare interview specifically about their relationship, Vanessa said about Johnny hree years ago: "There is a lot of friendship between us, respect and admiration. "I admire him as an actor, as a father, as a man. Above all, I admire the person he is. He's fantastic."

Miley Cyrus engaged to actor Liam Hemsworth

 Miley Cyrus, the former Disney Channel child star whose growing pains have been played out in the glare of the world's media, announced her engagement on Wednesday at the age of 19 to "Hunger Games" actor Liam Hemsworth. Cyrus, whose "Hannah Montana" TV series made her a teen idol, said she was engaged to marry her Australian boyfriend Hemsworth, 22, after a three-year romance. 

The news quickly became one of the world's top trends on Twitter, bringing thousands of congratulations from fans, as well as questions over the wisdom of settling down so young. Cyrus and Hemsworth have been dating on and off since meeting in 2009 on the set of film romance "The Last Song". "I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam," Cyrus told People magazine. 

"Thank you for all the love today. I'm happy to share this news with you all. I feel like all my dreams are coming true," the young star posted on Twitter. Cyrus's father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, who starred with her on "Hannah Montana", said he was delighted. "All I ever hoped for as a daddy was to see my kids reach their dreams. 

To find happiness, peace of mind, and someday know true love," he told celebrity website HollywoodLife.com. Hemsworth proposed on May 31 with a 3.5-carat diamond ring, according to People magazine. No wedding date was announced, but talk quickly turned to whether they were too young for such a commitment. "A 3.5-carat diamond ring and an Australian fiancé sound like a fairytale marriage, but teen pop star Miley Cyrus's engagement raises questions about the idealized dream she's modeling for the average teenager. 

In other words: Can teen marriages last?" asked Allison Terry, writing for the Christian Science Monitor. The engagement was the main topic on female TV chat show "The Talk" on Wednesday, where "America's Got Talent" judge Sharon Osbourne spoke up for the singer. "I think that she is 19, but in her head she is an old soul. She has lived 19 lives in 19 years ... She is an accomplished young woman, who knows what she wants at this time in her life," Osbourne said. Fans of the starlet once known as "Smiley Miley" could barely believe how the time had flown. 

"Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are ENGAGED? OMG I remember watching her on Hannah Montana for the first time. my bby grow up so fast :')" tweeted one fan, Hatoon. Cyrus was 12-years-old when she landed the part of a pop star by night and regular schoolgirl by day in Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana". 

The role launched Cyrus as an international, chart-topping singer with hits like "Best of Both Worlds," "The Climb" "7 Things" and "Party in The USA". But when Cyrus quit the show at age 16, she also moved fast to shed her squeaky-clean image, performing in sexy outfits, making raunchy music videos and shocking fans by smoking the hallucinogenic herb salvia on her 18th birthday. Cyrus put her music career on hold two years ago to focus on acting, but her latest film "LOL" was a box office flop that was quickly released on DVD. And not everyone was feeling the love for the young couple. "Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are engaged. Please excuse me while I stick my head in an oven" tweeted Girl's Got Issues.

Thailand furious at Lady Gaga's fake Rolex tweet

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's government is up in arms over a tweet by pop sensation Lady Gaga about buying a fake designer watch in a Bangkok street market and has complained to the United States. Bangkok's sprawling outdoor markets and some of its big shopping malls are widely known for selling near-perfect replicas of famous luxury brands, often imported from China. 

Even so, Gaga's May 23 tweet, two days ahead of a sellout concert in Bangkok, struck a raw nerve with some Thais who said the zany artist had dented the country's reputation by suggesting she could easily get her hands on a fake Rolex watch.

 The Grammy Award winner, who cancelled a concert after threats in Indonesia and faced protests by conservative groups in the Philippines and South Korea, has not apologized for the tweet, which Thailand's Commerce Ministry said undermined its efforts to stamp out piracy. 

"Lady Gaga is a representative of the U.S. and the U.S. puts pressure on smaller countries to promote the protection of intellectual property," an official at the ministry's Intellectual Property Department told Reuters, requesting anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. "She should tell her fans that they shouldn't use fake goods." Gaga's comment stirred debate on Thai web forums and social media. 

A small protest took place in Bangkok's business district but that failed to keep fans away from her much-anticipated show on Friday, which attracted 50,000 people. Gaga's contentious tweet to her 24 million followers said: "I just landed in Bangkok baby! Ready for 50,000 screaming Thai monsters. I wanna get lost in a lady market and buy a fake rolex." She was believed to be referring to the popular Ladies' Market in Hong Kong. Officials at the U.S. embassy in Bangkok were unavailable for comment.

Michael Jackson's sleepless note pulled from auction

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A note written by Michael Jackson in which he complains of being unable to sleep has been withdrawn from auction at the request of the late singer's ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley, the auction house said on Wednesday. Jackson, who died in 2009 after asking his doctor to give him a powerful anesthetic to help him sleep, wrote the note to Presley sometime between 1993-1996, when they were close friends. 

The two later became husband and wife. "Lisa I truly need this rest I haven't slept litterally (sic) in 4 days now. I need to be away from phones and business people. I must take care of my health first Im'(sic) crazy for you," reads the handwritten note, scrawled on yellow paper. Julien's Auctions, which had listed the letter in an upcoming celebrity memorabilia sale, said on Wednesday it pulled the note from its Music Icons auction on June 23rd and 24th at Presley's request.

 "I'm assuming that it's because the note is of a personal nature, and we want to honor the request and continue our good relationship with Ms. Presley," chief executive Darren Julien said. The "Thriller" singer had struggled with insomnia for several years while alive. His personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, told police shortly after Jackson's death that the 50-year-old pop star pleaded for help sleeping during a long, restless night at his home on June 25, 2009, the day he died.

 Murray was convicted last year of involuntary manslaughter after delivering a fatal dose of propofol - normally used to sedate patients for surgery - and a cocktail of sedatives to Jackson.

Justin Bieber accused of battering man taking photos

Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies are investigating a complaint that Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber roughed up a man who was taking pictures of the performer at a suburban shopping center, police said on Monday. 

Deputies were called on Sunday to an outdoor shopping area in Calabasas, about 23 miles northwest of Hollywood, by a man who reported having just had an altercation with Bieber, the sheriff's department said in a press statement. According to the statement, the man said he was taking pictures of Bieber, who was with his girlfriend, actress Selena Gomez, when the singer "physically battered" him. Bieber's publicist with Island/Def Jam Music Group could not immediately be reached for comment.

 A spokeswoman for the sheriff's department, Lillian Peck, declined to give further details about the nature of the alleged confrontation or any injuries suffered by the man. But Peck said the man, who was not identified by police, complained of pain, and after requesting medical attention was treated on the scene by paramedics, then taken to a local hospital, where he was examined and later released. Bieber, 18, who has professed a determination to maintain a squeaky-clean image, had left the shopping center with Gomez, 19, before officers arrived, according to the man with the camera. 

Peck said sheriff's deputies are investigating the case as a misdemeanor battery complaint and were looking for any possible eyewitnesses, but she did not know whether they had contacted Bieber about the incident. The Hollywood news website TMZ.com reported that the man behind the complaint was a professional celebrity photographer. Citing accounts of witnesses at the scene, TMZ said the paparazzo was blocking Bieber's car as the entertainer was trying to leave and that a scuffle ensued after Bieber got out of his car, asked the man to leave and the man refused.

 TMZ also reported that after the altercation, a lawyer approached the photographer and suggested he could collect a lot of money by calling for an ambulance and filing a police report. The cherubic-faced singer, discovered in 2008 through homemade music videos he posted on YouTube, released his first album at age 15 and rocketed to international fame on his way to logging 41 million fans on Facebook and 20 million on Twitter.

 Bieber's latest hit single, "Boyfriend," debuted at No. 2 last month on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The Los Angeles Times reported on Sunday that the recent high school graduate paid $6.5 million for his first house, a 10,000-square-foot (929-square-meter) luxury home set in a gated community of Calabasas. Amenities are reported to include a movie theater with stadium-style seating, a library, wet bar, wine cellar, guest house and swimming pool.
