Brooke Shields: Daughters were angry about dark details in her documentary

Brooke Shields, 57, played seven-year-old Emmeline in “The Blue Lagoon” in 1980, who has to survive on a remote island with her cousin Richard after a shipwreck. The film and her modeling jobs made the young actress a world star, but also a victim of constant objectification. The documentary “Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields” also deals with this topic. Filmmaker Lana Wilson, 39, follows the Hollywood icon on her journey to becoming a woman who discovers her power after being sexualized as a young girl. The film shows the dangers women can be confronted with on the Internet and in everyday life.

Brooke Shields herself told People magazine that she thought she had educated her daughters Rowan Francis Henchy, 19, and Grier Hammond Henchy, 16, enough. But the documentary apparently revealed that she probably didn’t tell her children, who she has with film producer Chris Henchy, 58, everything. “I thought I taught them everything. But there are a lot of things in the documentary that they didn’t know. I got in trouble because they were upset that they weren’t informed about everything and therefore weren’t prepared.”

But this discussion stimulated “some other conversations”. What exactly angered the daughters of the actress, she did not address. But the documentary deals with really tough issues: The rape that Brooke Shields suffered 30 years ago and only recently made public as part of the film is addressed. Certainly not the only terrible experience the actress had to go through during her 46-year career, but certainly the worst.

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn are fighting back wedding pressure

Kurt Russell, 71, and Goldie Hawn, 77, met on the set of The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band in 1968. However, it only sparked later: their love began in 1983 and continues to this day. Together they have son Wyatt, 36, Russell’s son Boston, 43, and Hawn’s children Oliver, 46, and Kate Hudson, 43, add to their patchwork happiness. The acting stars have been in a relationship for 40 years, but they never thought of marriage, which apparently amazes many people.

This in turn gets on the couple’s nerves, as it now clarifies in the interview with “Variety”. “Back then we were constantly being asked, ‘When are you going to get married? Why aren’t you married?’ And we were like, ‘Why does anyone care?’ We asked our kids if they were interested. They didn’t. Neither did we,” says Kurt Russell, and his sweetheart agrees. It was much more important to them to give their children the right values ​​to take with them. “You have to work for a living, be compassionate and realistic, and I pass that on because that’s what my dad taught me,” explains Goldie Hawn.

Finally, the actress raves about how “brilliant and creative” her partner is: “He’s just amazing. Kurt and I are very similar. He doesn’t think of himself as a movie star. I don’t either.” So it’s no wonder that the two have been happily together for four decades – and that’s without a wedding altar.

Tears and his favorite jacket: Hayden Panettiere says goodbye to brother Jansen

Nick Cannon: Seriously? New show to identify mother of his 13th child

Nick Cannon, 42, is always good for a surprise. Earlier this week, when the comedian-rapper made a cryptic post that read, “Expecting big news tomorrow” and a baby bottle emoji, his fans went wild. Is baby number 13 on the way? Mariah Carey’s ex, 53, has twins Monroe and Moroccan, both 11, as well as ten other children who come from liaisons with five other women. The solution to the riddle is not that far removed from the speculations of his followers. Ironically, on International Women’s Day, he presented his most urgent project at the moment: the actor is apparently looking for a mother for his next offspring in a new show.

A joke? One does not know. Canon shines brightly on the TV announcement for the project with the meaningful title “Who’s having my baby?”. The alleged television spectacle will be hosted by E! Entertainment, therefore, actor and comedy colleague Kevin Hart, 43. A preliminary compilation of the already recorded mother search shows young women who apparently have to solve some tricky tasks. The broadcaster relies on the game show principle for Nick’s search. However, how serious the passionate father really is in his search will become apparent in the spring – and possibly around nine months later. An exact date for the first broadcast has not yet been announced.

Hayden Panettiere: That’s why she had a breast reduction

Hayden Panettiere, 33, told Women’s Health magazine that she had been uncomfortable in her own body for a long time. The ex-partner of boxing superstar Wladimir Klitschko, 46, revealed that she had her breasts reduced and has now opened up about the step of going under the knife.

After giving birth to daughter Kaya Evdokia, 8, in December 2014, she wasn’t comfortable in her own skin. She felt that her body didn’t feel “like it belonged to me”. So in 2022 she decided to have a breast reduction. “I think there’s nothing wrong with someone wanting to change something if it makes them feel more confident. That’s all I have to say about it. My confidence is back,” she said of the surgery.

The actress hasn’t had an easy time and suffered from an alcohol addiction. After the birth of her daughter, Hayden also experienced postnatal depression. And recently she and her parents had to cope with a stroke of fate when her brother Jansen Panettiere died at the end of February at the age of only 28. The siblings were very close and one can only imagine how bad things must be for the US actress at the moment.

Aaron Carter (†): His fiancee fears for herself and her baby

When Aaron Carter, † 34, died, it was the end of the world for his loved ones. In early November 2022, the former child star and singer was found dead in a bathtub at his California home. Since then, nothing has been the same, especially for his fiancée Melanie Martin. Now she has to raise their son Prince Lyric, 1, without the love of her life – and even protect the child from bad hate messages.

“As I continue to mourn and think, I can tell you one thing, this sh *** is difficult as hell,” writes the young woman now in a startling post on her Instagram channel. “The level of bullying and hating over the last few months has been insane. Every day, Prince and I get hate mail and mean comments, non-stop prank calls and even death threats. Yes, there have indeed been death threats, not only against me, but against Aaron and mine as well little son.”

She has now decided to forward the life-threatening messages to the FBI. She would like to flee the situation, she writes, but: “First and foremost, I have to protect Aaron’s legacy and take care of Prince.” Their child with Carter appears to be getting at least some of his inheritance. In addition, Melanie intends to continue Aaron’s “Love” brand. “There’s just too much at stake for Prince to just disappear. I have to be strong for him. But that doesn’t mean I’ll stay silent about the relentless cyberbullying and death threats.”
