Halle Berry is "healthy and happy" following the birth of her son.
The 47-year-old actress insists she's not stressing over her postpartum pounds after welcoming her second child Maceo-Robert, whom she has with her husband Olivier Martinez, into the world last October. "I'm healthy and that's really good. When you're nursing you can't really diet because you have to keep producing milk ... I'm healthy and I'm happy and that's all that matters," she said.
The brunette beauty - who also has six-year-old daughter Nahla from her previous relationship with Gabriel Aubry - believes Maceo has brought "joy" to her family and she is overwhelmed by the love she feels for him: "[Maceo's] perfect, just perfect. More love, more joy -- having a new baby in your family brings that."
However, Halle admits she and Olivier, 48, whom she married last July, are still trying to find the balance between parenthood and their demanding careers. "[A new baby means] less sleep. And I'm working on the TV show [Extant]. It's a new grind, it's a new rhythm. We're trying to get used to that. [But] we're managing," she explained.

The Black Swan actress is expecting her first child with fiance Ashton Kutcher and has vowed not to have a pain-numbing epidural injection to ease her labor, which may take place at home.

I'm going to do it as natural as I can, No epidural, I'm crazy, right. But I wanted this! I did this to myself, I might as well do it right. Well, I did have a little help..."

Leonardo DiCaprio has reportedly "burned" himself out.
The Wolf of Wall Street star has been told to slow down by his friends as they fear his hectic work schedule is having a negative effect on his health and personal life. "Leo has been working like a demon over the past three years - and it's now starting to come back and haunt him. He's pretty burned out at the moment and suffering from insomnia from pushing himself so hard. Everybody is begging Leo to slow down but he's just very focused on making a lot of money right now -- to the exclusion of almost everything else," a source said.
However, it appears the 39-year-old actor has been investing his money wisely as he recently spent $10 million on a new four-bedroom apartment in New York. He also splashed out $8 million on an apartment adjacent to a $4 million home he already owns in the eco-friendly 2 River Terrace in Battery Park City last month. And in February, he spent $5.2 million on a six-bedroom mansion in Palm Springs, California.
