Friends of Halle Berry say the Oscar winner — while happy with her as-yet-to-be-confirmed fiance Olivier Martinez — feels that many other elements in her life are one big headache.

“Halle is constantly worrying about all the things going on with Gabriel [Aubry, her estranged ex-beau],” a pal told me. “She really hopes that this latest decision will finally lead to him having very minimal contact with [their daughter] Nahla.”

That “latest decision” refers to Aubry being ordered into Dependency Court following an investigation of the male model by the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services. That study — following a report Aubry allegedly pushed a nanny while she was holding his daughter — concluded he had a number of anger management issues and suggested an independent monitor be present whenever he was with Nahla.

The judge agreed and, for the time being, Aubry will not be allowed alone with his daughter during visitation.

† Berry has indicated a desire to move overseas, most likely to France with Martinez — mainly to avoid the ever-present scrutiny by the U.S. media. In the past, Aubry has fought Berry’s attempts to put geographic distances between him and his daughter. However, in the light of this recent decision about the need for a monitor present during his time with Nahla, he may have little ability to fight Berry’s decision to move.

TYLER TALKS: In the new issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine — out this week — Tyler Perry speaks at length with publisher Jamie Foster Brown about his frustration with Hollywood studios’ lack of creativity and with critics inside the African-American community who constantly take shots at him.

Despite the actor and filmmaker’s enormous record of achievement, Perry said, “If I say ‘Madea’ [the sharp-tongued grandmother he’s played in films that have been box-office gold], everything’s happy, everybody’s great. But if I want to do anything outside of that [like ‘For Colored Girls’], it’s a fight.”

† It also irks Perry that certain black “elitists” criticize his popular TV shows and films for perpetuating African-American stereotypes, when those same critics “got off to college and they get success — [then] move away from the hood.”

† Asked if he would ever do a show on good friend Oprah Winfrey’s struggling OWN network, Perry told Brown, “If she told me, ‘Tyler, what do you think about this?’ I would absolutely consider. But because we’re friends. I’ve never asked to be on her show. Because our friendship is much more important. … And because we are very close, I want to stay away from that.”

† As for who Perry would like to see play him in a film about his life, he said, “If I can’t play myself, they I would probably ask Will [Smith] or somebody to do it.”

A BIT TOO THIN? Former child star Macaulay Culkin’s publicist says the “Home Alone” star is in “perfectly good health” and calls rumors of serious illness “reckless, thoughtless and irresponsible.”

Photos of the actor fueled the online chatter, and comments from a few folks close to him added to the buzz.

“Macaulay has always been a skinny guy,” said a New York pal of his Sunday. “But lately he just has not looked so great. I don’t know if it’s his diet or if he’s just depressed lately. But he really looks pretty sh---y lately.”

ROMANTIC RUMBLES: Congrats to actress Robin Wright for being able to keep her relationship with “Rampart” co-star Ben Foster under the radar. While the duo apparently have been seeing each other for months, it just now is becoming known.

According to my Hollywood gossip pal Janet Charlton, the cat was let out of the bag when Foster showed up on the Australia set of Wright’s film “The Grandmothers,” in which she and Naomi Watts play women who fall in love with each other’s sons.

For the record: Foster is 31. Wright is 45. Almost a case of art imitating life, eh?

TV TALK: Yet another television pilot is set to shoot in Chicago. Ruth Ratny’s ReelChicago.com reports Michael Dinner will executive produce and direct the as-yet-untitled Fox medical drama about a female doctor who works for the mob. The Sony TV production will be headquartered at Chicago Studio City on the West Side.

Dinner certainly is no stranger to Our Town, having directed, consulted on or helped produce such shows as “Powers” on FX, the late Patrick Swayze’s critically acclaimed “The Beast,” “Early Edition” and “Chicago Hope.”
