Halle Berry rejoins New Year's Eve

Halle Berry has re-joined the cast of the ensemble romantic comedy "New Year's Eve" after pulling out of the project last month to fight a custody battle for her young daughter.

At that time, Katherine Heigl stepped in and replaced Berry. But Berry was freed up this week when a judge in Los Angeles ruled in her favor, making it possible for her to travel with her daughter to New York, where Garry Marshall is shooting "New Year's Eve."

Berry's new role in the movie she'll play a nurse is slightly smaller than the one she gave up.

The cast also includes Sarah Jessica Parker, Zac Efron, Hilary Swank, Ashton Kutcher, Lea Michelle and Robert De Niro.
