Now that 3½-year-old Parker Whitfield is in school, she can't travel as often with her mom, Salli Richardson Whitfield, when she leaves Los Angeles to film the top-rated show sci-fi show Eureka in Vancouver, Canada. And that is the problem for the actress-mother. 'It becomes really, really hard,' says Salli, who spends 15-hour days on the set. Before Parker started school, Salli would tuck her in at night, give her breakfast and get visits on the set. Now Salli will only see her daughter and husband, actor Dondre Whitfield, on weekends. 'I'm sad just thinking of leaving her.' That is a downside of success for the actress, who landed the choice role with Will Smith in the blockbuster film I Am Legend. 'No complaints, because I am busy, whereas others are not so fortunate. I'm hitting my stride. This business is about endurance, longevity.' And motherhood is about patience and love. 'I've learned that you never know how much your mother loved you until have a child,' she says,'...and you can never love anymore as much as you love your child.'

While Niecy Nash was in control of her career with her top-rated Clean House show on the Style Network, she was losing control at home. She was working late and her children--Dominic, 16, Donielle, 13, and Dia, 8--were eating a lot of fast food. 'I thank God for my mother everyday,' she says. 'I called her crying, saying I was overwhelmed. She said, 'Baby, I'm on my way.' That was less than two years ago. Her mother, Margaret Ensley, sold her house in Northridge, California, retired from her job as TSA supervisor at the L.A. Airport and moved into Niecy's pool house. Now divorced, Nash had considered getting a nanny, but had imagined that 'folks would be selling my panties on eBay.' The actress spends a lot of time with 'each baby individually'--for instance, taking Dia to a movie, Donielle to her her nails done and Dominic to dinner. Motherhood, she says, is her greatest success, and her greatest love.

(KING) MAG SCANS: SALLI RICHARDSON: 'SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD, THERE'S A GUY WHO'S SICK OF FUCKING A HALLE BERRY.'

Salli Richardson's middle name should be multi-tasker. This veteran actress can do it all--from a leading role in the Sci-Fi Channel show, Eureka to a portraying Will Smith's spouse in his latest $150 million blockbuster I Am Legend, to her most important role--mother of her three year old daughter, Parker and wife of five years to fellow actor, Dondre Whitfield.

With past rumored relationships (before wedding Whitfield, of course) with Matthew McConaughey and the late Tupac Shakur, this beautiful biracial beauty (her mother is half African American/half Native American (Cherokee); and her father is half Irish/half Italian) who, along with her longtime boyfriend at the time, actor Glen Plummer (South Central) was once named one of Ebony magazine's 1995 Top 10 Hottest Couples of the Year, knows a thing or two when it comes to sniffing out a trifling-ass man (with the exception of Whitfield, of course).

And Richardson-Whitfield is also very well aware that a woman's physical characteristics a la Halle Berry, doesn't mean shit when it comes to a man remaining faithful in his relationship. I heard that!

FIND OUT HER TAKE ON HALLE BERRY AFTER THE JUMP!

The 40-year-old actress tells King magazine, 'There's no game you can try to play that I haven't seen or maybe done myself. We've all been lied to before. When you're younger, you know niggas are lying to you, but you choose not to believe it. You say, 'I know this shit don't sound right, but I believe him.' When you're older, you go, 'You know what? You're lying. And I choose not to believe your shit no matter how much you say it wasn't you.' ...And people always use Halle Berry as a reference. Somewhere in the world, there's a guy who's sick of fucking a Halle Berry.

You can have the finest chick, and then one day, for some reason, you're sick of fucking her, and you get someone who isn't even as cute. People go, 'He's got a Halle Berry--why is he messing with this girl with two babies?"
