Tameka Raymond's Custody Re-Trial Request DENIED + Halle Berry & Olivier COZY UP Amidst Custo

There's good news and bad news. The bad news is that Tameka Raymond has been denied a re-trial in her custody battle with Usher. The good news is that Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez seem to be in great spirits as Halle's battle rages on. Get more inside....

Unfortunately for Tameka Raymond, things just won't go her way in her battle for primary custody of her two sons with ex-husband Usher.  First, she lost primary custody and now, she's been denied a retrial.

Though Tameka claimed that Judge Bensonetta Tipton Lane was baised since Usher's lawyer had donated to her 2008 campaign, the judge countered that this was PUBLIC knowledge and Tameka sould have known about this BEFORE the trial.  Womp.

But always the fighter....Tameka is pressing on and plans to appeal. 

Meanwhile, in other custody news.....

Halle Berry is still engaged in a nasty battle with ex Gabriel Aubry over her request to move to Paris with fiancee Olivier Martinez and to take daughter, Nahla, with her. 

Despite the turmoil, Halle and her beau looked fresh and fab as they took a stroll through Malibu, CA for a little shopping and lunch at Taverna Tony.

Halle rocked a comfy white dress with large cut-outs revealing a blue bikini.

The couple then shared a laugh over something on Halle's phone as she sipped champagne.
