*"Access Hollywood" host Nancy O'Dell says she's been in contact with new mom Halle Berry since the birth of her daughter Nahla Ariela Aubry last month.

      "We've e-mailed, and she's loving motherhood," O'Dell told People magazine at Thursday's "National Lampoon's One, Two, Many" premiere in Hollywood.     

       O'Dell, 42, who herself gave birth last June to daughter Ashby Grace, says she sent Berry a nice long e-mail of motherly advice.      

       "I sent her a whole page e-mail about things I wish friends had told me," O'Dell says. "I said, 'I wish people had given me this advice. They didn't, so I'm going to give it to you.' She was appreciative, really appreciative."      

       While O'Dell would be happy to set up some play dates between their two girls in the future, the TV host joked that she was holding out for Berry to have a boy.       

       "I'm glad she had a girl, so the girls can play, but the other side of me went, I bet that would be a very attractive young boy to set up with my girl," O'Dell said. "I was pulling for either one."
