What do Halle Berry and Mel Gibson have in common? Lets hope it’s just an Oscar.

Making late-night small talk with Jay Leno this week, actress Halle Berry busted out her typical funny witticisms and anecdotes – but it wasn’t long before Berry’s interview took a nose-dive due to an anti-Semitic comment.

The actress had brought along some computer images that she had doctored herself on her Mac computer.

“The machine morphs your face to look like all these silly other people,” she smiled. “Whenever I’m feeling really bad about the world I do this to crack myself up.”

The crowd was roaring at the site of her distorted face until she held one with an enormously deformed nose and said, “this one, I don’t know, this is like my Jewish cousin.”

Her full remark was not aired, and the producers covered the deadly silent audience with a laugh track, bleeping out the word ‘Jewish’.

The actress publicly apologized to press explaining that she didn’t mean for her statement to come out that way, and she feels terrible for having potentially offended any one.

“I so didn’t mean to offend anybody—and after the show I realized it could be seen as offensive, so I asked Jay to take it out, and he did,” E! News quoted.
