It seems Halle Berry has been left disappointed in her efforts to stop her former lover Gabriel Aubry from seeing their daughter. For RadarOnline is reporting a judge concurred with the opinion of social workers that the hunky Canadian should be allowed to continue unsupervised visits with three-year-old Nahla. The decision comes after Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services investigated claims the model had assaulted the girl's nanny. She claims she went to pick Nahla up at school, but she was not there because Gabriel, 36, had kept her home sick for two days, and that he pushed her when she confronted him about it. A source said: "Social workers recommended that absolutely no changes be made in the current custody agreement, which the judge gives tremendous weight and consideration to. Halle and Gabriel essentially have joint custody of Nahla. DCFS found absolutely no basis to the claims that Gabriel physically assaulted the nanny, or has ever physically abused Nahla. There was nothing found to substantiate the nanny's claims, and social workers felt that a restraining order that Halle was seeking wasn't necessary, and would actually harm Nahla by keeping her from her father."

The decision followed him facing off against his former lover in court last week Monday. Gabriel seemed buoyant today as he was spotted walking with the enchanting youngster, carrying her along with her bag as he dropped her off at school. However, he is not out of the woods yet in regards to their ongoing legal feud over the future custody arrangements for the little girl.

Axed Nicole Scherzinger puts on a brave face

Perhaps it's because her sacking was hardly a shock after the egregious reviews she received during her brief tenure as X Factor judge, but Nicole Scherzinger seems to be handling the news much better than Paula Abdul. The 33-year-old kept her head held high as she arrived back in Los Angeles from New York today, and looked pretty and composed. The former Pussycat Doll confirmed the news on Twitter, but has made no response to the disappointing development other than to insist that she will now be freed up to focus on her music. Paula, on the other hand, can barely contain her wrath and made a statement laced with hurt and disbelief. The 49-year-old star, who is close to Simon Cowell, said: "I've learned through my longevity in this industry that business decisions oftentimes override personal considerations." And according to Radar Online, she is taking the news more badly than even her thinly veiled statement would suggest. They claim that the star — who turns 50 in June — first had an idea that she wouldn't be returning from sacked host Steve Jones, 34, who was pictured looking downbeat last week.

'Being a child model was brutal'

Katherine Heigl says her work as a child model was 'brutal'. Before being discovered as an actress, the star used to work her charm in campaigns for Macy's and the Sears chain. The blonde beauty explained that as a child she didn't enjoy fashion shoots because she found the poses embarrassing. "Oh my God, it was brutal," she said in an upcoming episode of US talk show Anderson. "You even understand it, even when you're nine, you're like, 'This is silly and lame' and they're like, 'No, no, it's adorable, do it.'" Luckily Katherine's talent for acting landed her a part in 1992 movie That Night and she went on to establish a solid career in TV and movies. But even as a reluctant clothes horse, Katherine felt self-expression was important. Recalling one of her fellow junior models, the mother of one said she got frustrated seeing the little girl simply repeating the same pose. "She had one signature move," she gripes of another former child model. "I was like, 'Let's shake it up, please!'" Continuing this theme, Heigl slammed Dance Moms on her iVillage blog for sending an inappropriate message to young girls. The 33-year-old wrote: "I watched with open-mouthed amazement as girls as young as seven were encouraged to dress provocatively and shimmy around a stage doing a dance performance that could just as easily have been a burlesque routine." She reserved special criticism for the show's star and chief instructor, Abby Lee Miller. The mother of one added: "I kept thinking all these girls were missing is a pole! I was also horrified by the way their instructor spoke to them when she felt they weren't up to snuff." The Grey's Anatomy alum also maintains that the show, which depicts the travails of dancers aged seven to 14 years, is : "Demeaning, belittling, and downright unkind." Although Heigl doesn't agree with the young girls parading their bodies on stage, she explains it's not their fault and they possess great talent.
