Shields has been in the public eye ever since she was a child star. She speaks candidly about aging in her recently released memoir, Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman.
Per the book's official description, Shields often felt 'scrutinized' and 'judged' while in the spotlight, but, as she's gotten older, she has learned that time can provide a new sense of freedom and independence.

Shields, the description added, now lives life feeling 'more comfortable, more empowered and confident."
Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old also covers a range of other topics, including the star's rise as the CEO of haircare company Commence, as well as what she described as "this collective feeling of being overlooked."
Back in January, Shields revealed how she wanted to mark her milestone 60th birthday as she spoke on stage at the Flow Space Presents an Evening with Brooke Shields event in New York City.
At the time, the Mother of the Bride star told audience members, "I'm going to do something special with groups of friends."
"I have friends that I laugh like that with. I have my boozy friends, I have my granola friends,' Shields continued. 'They each serve a different part of my soul and psyche.'

Heather Rae El Moussa Addresses Friendship With Christina Haack
Being friends with your partner's ex doesn't always have to be weird, and the proof is in Heather Rae El Moussa and Christina Haack's inseparable bond. Though Heather is married to Christina's ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa, the pair has developed a close friendship over the years. On July 9, the Selling Sunset alum posted a sweet tribute for Christina's birthday on her Instagram Stories and shut critics of their friendship down in the process. 'It's crazy how far we've come & most will never understand how we are friends,' Heather wrote. 'I'm grateful for our relationship & our ability to rise above the noise! Cheers to you & can't wait to celebrate you! Xo.' While things are all good between the trio now, they weren't always on the best of terms. Christina—who was married to Tarek until 2018 and shares two children with him—got into a heated argument with Heather during a soccer game in 2022. At the time, a source told E! News, 'Heather and Christina haven't been getting along lately and there's been overall tension between both couples. Christina feels Heather oversteps her boundaries when she parents her children and Heather doesn't feel like she gets enough respect from Christina.' They've worked out their differences in favor of a smooth co-parenting experience since then. In January 2025, Christina told E! News, 'We've had our ups and downs, but mostly we've been great co-parents throughout everything. All three of us love these kids more than anything, so we've always made them a priority.' These days, the Flip-Off co-stars are so close that they even trade clothes. Back in February, Christina wore one of Heather's stunning gowns as she hard-launched her relationship with Christopher Larocca on her Instagram Stories. 'Thanks for lending me the gorgeous dress @theheatherraeelmoussa,' Christina captioned her post. Heather originally wore the embellished red dress for holiday portraits with Tarek, which she shared on social media in December 2024. Love that they flipped their relationship dynamic into something special!

Michelle Pfeiffer slams ‘very concerning' FDA-approved food technology once backed by Bill Gates
Pfeiffer is piping up. Michelle Pfeiffer took to Instagram on Thursday to slam Apeel – an FDA-approved food technology once funded by Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates. After sharing a post that claimed 'organic produce is no longer safe' because 'Bill Gates' Apeel just got approved for USDA-certified organic,' the actress said that she was 'very concerned' about the approval. 10 A screenshot of Michelle Pfeiffer's Instagram Story post on Thursday, July 10. michellepfeifferofficial/Instagram 10 A screenshot of Michelle Pfeiffer's second Instagram Story post on Thursday, July 10. michellepfeifferofficial/Instagram 'Apeel (an edible, plant-based coating designed to extend the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables) was just approved and now 'organic' produce is coated in something we cannot see or wash off,' Pfeiffer, 67, wrote on her Instagram Stories. 'Very concerning.' The 'Batman Returns' icon returned to the social media platform to share a list of grocery stores and markets that will not sell products coated in Apeel. The list included major stores like Costco, Publix and Trader Joe's. Apeel Sciences was founded in 2012 by CEO James Rogers. He received two grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which totaled less than $1.1 million. Since then, Apeel has reportedly been backed by venture capitalist Andreessen Horowitz. 10 Michelle Pfeiffer attends a ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre on April 25, 2025, in Hollywood, California.

Getty Images In April 2024, the brand even wrote on their official Instagram account that the entrepreneur had 'zero involvement or ownership in Apeel.' 'We're a team who value honesty and transparency, dedicated to enhancing food accessibility and sustainability,' the statement concluded. Meanwhile, Apeel's website claims that the company's mission 'has always been to eradicate food insecurity for the most vulnerable people.' 10 A screenshot from Apeel's website promising 'honesty and transparency.' apeel_sciences/Instagram 'Apeel Sciences was founded on the promise of developing safe, sustainable solutions that extend the quality and life of fresh produce, making it more accessible and enjoyable to consumers while reducing food waste around the world,' the website reads. 'Apeel helps reduce waste with a natural alternative to plastic packaging,' it continues, 'promoting better food systems and a healthier planet.' Despite Pfeiffer's concern that the coating cannot be 'washed off,' the company claims that 'you can remove Apeel coatings by rinsing your fruits or veggies with water and gently scrubbing them using your hands or a soft brush.' 10 Michelle Pfeiffer at a screening during the 2025 TCM Classic Film Festival on April 25, 2025, in Hollywood, California.

See Your Deals The 'Tequila Sunrise' star's Instagram posts about Apeel may come as a surprise, particularly because she largely lives a quiet life without much controversy. Pfeiffer made headlines last year when she announced that she would star in an AppleTV+ series, 'Margo's Got Money Troubles,' alongside Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman. '2025 is already off to a great start!' she wrote on Instagram in September. 'Excited to be in such fabulous company on this one.' 10 Michelle Pfeiffer at the TCL Chinese Theatre in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles on April 25, 2025.

WWD via Getty Images The AppleTV+ series was created for the streaming giant by Pfeiffer's husband of more than 30 years, David E. Kelley. The couple met during a blind date in 1993 and married later that year. The 'Scarface' star previously claimed that she would never work with her husband, although that rule has apparently changed when it comes to 'Margo's Got Money Troubles.' 'I've seen a lot of couples where they seem to have a really great marriage, and then they work together and next year they're filing for divorce,' she told The New Yorker in 2021.
