Out on an afternoon retail excursion, Halle Berry ventured out to the shops at Sunset Plaza in West Hollywood on Wednesday (May 27).

Among the day's stops, the "Swordfish" star combed the racks at H. Lorenzo for Men before heading to Aahs! gift store.

And though she's regarded as one of the most beautiful women in the world, Miss Berry recently confessed to having sought out friendship via the Internet.

"I never went so far as a date. But I've gone online and pretended to be someone else, in an attempt to have some anonymity," Berry said.

"I've tried, many times, to have a normal conversation when celebrity wasn't a part of it. Sometimes it worked and at others it became a little weird. The reason I did it was I wanted to remember what it was like to have a real, honest exchange with someone and to be treated normally," she added.
