Berry's baby is handed university place

Halle Berry's baby has been handed an official place at New York's Pace University, where America's Actors Studio is based, even though he or she has not even been born yet.

The actress, who is expecting her first child, was given the honour from the university's dean James Lipton when she appeared on TV show Inside the Actors Studio recently.

Lipton, who told Berry she was his first pregnant guest on the programme, said: "As dean emeritus of the Actors Studio Drama School of Pace University, I would like to say that since this little person has already attended this craft seminar and has behaved like a perfect gentleman or lady, he or she is officially and forever an alumnus or an alumna of Pace University."
