Brooke Shields reveals her daughter's surprising career choice
Brooke Shields has been telling her daughter to "never give up" as she pursues her own career. The 60-year-old actress - who has Rowan, 22, as well as 19-year-old Grief with her husband Chris Henchy - made her name with films such as Pretty Baby and Blue Lagoon but revealed that her eldest is actually set to go into the world of journalism and has already started making waves in the industry. She told E! News: "She wants to go into broadcast journalism and news. "She's been at different outlets. She's done their carpet stuff. She's so she's so appealing as a person. "I mean, I'm her mother, you know, but people love her, and they tell me all the time. They come out of the woodwork, like when I'm doing a morning show. "I just say, 'Never give up. Just keep going. She's going to be just fine." The former Hannah Montana star previously admitted that she actually got to "meet" her daughters all over again once they reached adulthood and moved out to make their own in the world, even though she was "terrified" at the thought of them leaving home. She told People: "I'm terrified to be an empty nester! All of a sudden, they're not yours anymore. When you realize they are their own human beings, you get to meet them again. To have them reveal themselves to you, it's a new type of relationship. I didn't mold them but I protected them enough so that they could become who they are, and I got out of the way. "They're going to have each other's back. They're both tough and strong-willed. The world is not going to undo them. I'm proud of who they are. I'm really going to miss them. I want to stay on the periphery but I'm also excited about what's ahead."

Brooke Shields podcast episode criticising Meghan Markle quietly removed
Days after Brooke Shields criticized Meghan Markle as 'too precious and serious' in a podcast, the episode appears to have been removed. The Blue Lagoon actress, 60, made headlines around the world with her appearance on India Hicks's An Unexpected Journey podcast, where she touched on their joint appearance at SXSW last March. However, according to multiple outlets, the episode has seemingly been deleted from the host's website – and a link to it on her Substack page currently leads to a 'page not found'. Speaking to India, who is King Charles' goddaughter and a patron of the King's Trust, the star detailed the time she spent with the mom-of-two for the International Women's Day panel at the annual event, led by Katie Couric. Reflecting on the talk, Brooke shared that the Duchess of Sussex had told the crowd about writing a letter regarding gender equality at the young age of 11 – an anecdote Katie encouraged her to share. 'Katie asks the first question to Meghan and she talks about how at a young age, she was already advocating for women,' she said last week, via People Magazine. 'She starts telling a story about how when she was 11 – and she keeps saying, 'Well, when I was 11, I saw this commercial and they were talking about how washing dishes was for women'. 'And she said, 'I didn't think only women wash dishes. It wasn't fair. So I wrote to the company'. 'She kept saying she was 11! She wrote to the company, they changed the text, they changed the commercial. 'It was just too precious, and I was like, they're not going to want to sit here for 45 minutes and listen to anybody be precious or serious.' The former Suits actress has spoken about this multiple times in the past, sharing that she persuaded Procter & Gamble to change their advert after calling out the 'sexism' in the footage. However, recalling the SXSW event, Brooke explained that she felt the need to step in during her fellow panellist's retelling, in a bid to 'lighten up' the proceedings. She continued: 'I go, 'Excuse me, I'm so sorry, I've got to interrupt you there for one minute.' I was trying not to be rude, but I wanted to be funny because it was so serious. '[She said], 'I just want to give everybody here a context as to how we're different. When I was 11, I was playing a prostitute.' Brooke said that, with her cheeky reference to her role in 1978 movie Pretty Baby, the 'place went insane' and the panel then became 'more relaxed'. More Trending It is not clear why the episode was taken down or when – India has not addressed the removal publicly, or shared why it was deleted. A video from their interview is still visible on her Instagram page, posted on June 1. Metro has contacted India's reps for a comment. Got a story?

Meghan Markle walks on stage during the SXSW Conference and Festival, at Austin Convention Center, Texas, on March 8, Brooke Shields Said About Meghan Markle Brooke Shields and Meghan were guests on the same panel at SXSW, in Texas, in March 2024 when the Duchess of Sussex told a well-known story about writing to Procter & Gamble to ask them to change an ad that said: "Women are fighting greasy pots and pans with Ivory Clear." "She starts telling a story about how when she was 11," Shields told Hicks, according to The Independent, "and she keeps saying, 'Well, when I was 11, I saw this commercial and they were talking about how washing dishes was for women. "And she said, 'I didn't think only women wash dishes. It wasn't fair. So I wrote to the company.'" "She kept saying she was 11," Shields continued. "She wrote to the company, they changed the text; they changed the commercial. "It was just too precious, and I was like, they're not going to want to sit here for 45 minutes and listen to anybody be precious or serious."

Errin Haines, Meghan Markle, Katie Couric, Brooke Shields and Nancy Wang Yuen made up the panel at SXSW Conference and Festival, at Austin Convention Center, Texas, on March 8, Shields said she interrupted Meghan to liven up the panel discussion: "I go, 'Excuse me, I'm so sorry, I've got to interrupt you there for one minute.' I was trying not to be rude, but I wanted to be funny because it was so serious." And she told the audience: "I just want to give everybody here a context as to how we're different. When I was 11, I was playing a prostitute." The reference was to Pretty Baby, a 1978 movie about a 12-year-old girl raised in a New Orleans brothel by her mother, who is a sex worker. Hicks said her interjection went down well with the crowd: "The place went insane." Meghan Markle's Ivory Clear Dish Soap Story When Meghan was 11 she wrote to Procter & Gamble to ask for a change to the wording of an ad, in which the voice over said: "The gloves are coming off. Women are fighting greasy pots and pans with Ivory Clear." In 2022, Meghan said in her podcast Archetypes: "I was furious. Women? Did I really just hear that guy say 'women?' As in only women? Only women." The story has been around since the early days of Meghan and Harry's relationship, since before their 2018 wedding, and some have started to question whether she may have told it too many times. After Meghan repeated it on Archetypes, the Daily Mail ran the headline: "'I was ready to turn off when I heard the soap ad story YET AGAIN': Meghan Markle listeners 'yawn' as she wheels out well-worn anecdote about campaigning against sexist soap advert when she was eleven for podcast."

Shields described Markle's retelling of her famous childhood letter-writing campaign against a sexist dish soap commercial as 'too precious' and 'serious,' suggesting the audience needed a lighter touch. 'She kept saying she was 11! She wrote to the company, they changed the text, they changed the commercial. It was just too precious, and I was like, they're not going to want to sit here for 45 minutes and listen to anybody be precious or serious,' Shields said, according to The Independent . Sensing the room's mood, Shields interrupted Markle mid-story with a humorous contrast: 'When I was 11, I was playing a prostitute,' referencing her controversial role in 1978's Pretty Baby . Shields said her quip 'relaxed' the panel and 'the place went insane.' The podcast episode was quickly scrubbed from Hicks' website, with the link now leading to a 'page not found' message.
