Theron reaches out to Berry

Charlize Theron is attempting to reach out to Halle Berry in a bid to assure her fellow Oscar winner she didn't make insulting comments about her, despite reports to the contrary.

Theron, who scooped her Best Actress Academy Award two years after Berry's 2002 win, was horrified when she read a quote attributed to her, which claimed she said: "Note to self. Do not become Halle Berry" - in reference to the movie choices the Monster's Ball has made since her Oscar win.
