Brooke Shields Wishes She Lost Her Virginity Sooner

Karl Erikson — Tue, 26 May 2009 17:09:00 GMT

The June issue of Health magazine is out and Brooke Shields is in it talking about sex. The former child star and model used to be quite uncomfortable with her looks. "I had the public and this pressure," Brooke says, wishing she'd loved her looks much sooner in life.

"I think I would have had sex a lot earlier," she said. "I would have lost my virginity earlier than I did at 22." 22? I call bull. I SAW her and Christopher Atkins go at it in "The Blue Lagoon!"

Brooke, now 43 and still drop-dead gorgeous, says that if she'd gotten laid sooner "I think I wouldn't have had issues with weight. I carried this protective 20 pounds in college. It was all connected. And to me, that's a health regret."

Hard to imagine Brooke Shields having self-esteem issues, having dated people like John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Prince Albert of Monaco. Hell, she was married to Andre Agassi. But we all have our issues, I guess.

Nowadays, Brooke is married to television writer Chris Henchy, and the couple have two daughters - Rowan, 6, and Grier, 3.

She says that she's become much easier on herself as she's gotten older. "The older I get, the younger I feel," Brooke says. "The older I get, I actually feel younger! Which is good. I always thought when you get older, you’ll want to slow down, but I want to do even more."

40-year-old David stars on NBC's "Lipstick Jungle" (which I hear has been canceled) and USA Network's "The Starter Wife" with Debra Messing. Alysia, 38, also has a role in "The Starter Wife."

The couple said in a statement, "Mom, dad, and daughter are doing great and looking forward to bringing home Livia to her new, all gree eco-friendly nursery."

Congratulations, David and Alysia!

Kim Raver Talks Hiding Her Pregnancy & Her Squishy Mom Belly

Sassy Smith — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 12:09:00 GMT

Lipstick Jungle star Kim Raver had to conceal her second pregnancy while shooting season one and then later, had to hide her postpartum body in season two. It wasn't an easy task!

More pics after the jump!

Kim - who plays Nico on the show - said that filming a love scene with co-star Robert Buckley at 6 months preggo "was interesting."

The 39-year-old actress said that post-baby filming was fun too. She recalls after shooting a particular scene, she was left stranded on a table because her stomach muscles were still weak after having her son. She said after the cast and crew had walked off, she was left there. Said Raver, "They called 'cut' and I was like.... Guys? Wait? Hello? I can't get up!"

Kim said she used to "stuff herself" into her dresses that she had to wear for the show. "I told everyone to turn around, because I literally had to stuff my bum and boobs into these dresses."

She added, "It seems like a glamorous show, but the first few weeks were really rough."

I love her! I love Lipstick Jungle too (shh, don't tell anyone) and I think Kim looks great and it's nice that she didn't try to starve herself into her dresses. I like that she had to stuff herself into them for awhile. Makes her seem normal!

Oh, and for the record, her squishy mom belly isn't squishy anymore.

Kim and husband Manuel Boyer have two boys, Luke, 6, and Leo, 1.

The circus is in town. Better than a "normal" circus, it's the Cirque du Soleil! Their new family show, Wintuk, was in New York City at the infamous Madison Square Garden, and the stars were on hand with their kids. Here's "Lipstick Jungle" star Kim Raver with her 6-year-old son, Luke West, after the show.

The show is about a young boy, Jamie, and his quest to find snow. There are tons of acrobats, dancers, and talking lampposts! If you've never seen a Cirque du Soleil show, it'll change your freaking life! Phenomenal.

Ethan Hawke enjoyed the show with Maya Ray, 10, and Levon, 6-1/2. Their mom, of course, is Uma Thurman. Ethan also has a 4-month-old daughter, Clementine, with his new wife, Ryan Shawhughes.

Brooke Shields In A Bikini - Photo

Sassy Smith — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 15:35:00 GMT

Actress and model Brooke Shields, 43, graces the cover of Shape's special breast cancer October 2008 issue, and the celebrity mom of two looks fantastic!

Brooke was a little hesitant about doing a bikini top shot for the mag as she was worried that she'd gained some weight after recovering from her bunion surgery.

Shields said, "I was worried about getting out of shape and gaining weight after the surgery. So just as I did with my pregnancies, I decided to go into it at my physical best."

It may be surprising to hear, but Brooke Shields wasn’t feeling too confident wearing the bikini the Shape fashion team picked out for her for the special breast cancer October issue cover. (On the mag’s back cover, she sports a tank top.)

Brooked stepped up her workout routine. "Spinning is the only way I ever lose weight. It's purely about keeping my heart rate up and burning calories."

She's gained 9 pounds, 2 months after the surgery (ha, she looks great though!) and said, "That was a little more than I'd hoped, but by giving myself that cushion, I know I'll get back into shape pretty quickly once I can start Spinning again."

Brooke and husband Chris Henchy have two sweet girls - Rowan Frances, 5, and Grier Hammond, 2.

Brooke Shields' Mother Hates Her Husband

Sassy Smith — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 20:01:00 GMT

Oops, did I write that? I meant to say, Brooke Shields' mother prefers her ex husband Andre Agassi over her current husband, Chris Henchy - which loosely translates to she hates her daughter's husband. I guess I got it right the first time.

Shields' mom Teri tells the National Enquirer that "she's disappointed in her daughter." Ouch.

"I don't see Brooke or my granddaughters much, and if they do come over, it's only for a little while and then they're gone.

"I wish I could see Brooke, but all she does is work." Wasn't Teri Shields a pushy stage mom? Hmm.

"But (she) always makes time to visit her friends no matter how busy she is."

Teri - besides the whole "disappointed" issue, is not thrilled with Brooke's man Chris Henchy, claiming that he influences her to snap at her mother. "I'm often disappointed in (Brooke), like the time she snaps: 'What do you ever do for me?' That's what her husband tells her to say."

"I preferred Brooke's first husband, Andre Agassi, over Chris."

Um, maybe, just maybe your daughter snaps at you because you're a ~~crusty beeyotch~~ bit overbearing. Also, when you tell the world you prefer your daughter's ex husband to her current one, that may cause a tad bit of tension. Yikes.

Hey Look - It's Hannah Montana's Dead Mother

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 00:17:00 GMT

That's what my daughter said when she glimpsed this picture on my computer screen. Brooke Shields, seen here in NY with daughter Rowan, played the role of the deceased mother to Miley Cyrus' character in the popular Disney show. Though she stars in the new Candace Bushnell TV series Lipstick Jungle, Shields will probably be more known for her appearance in a single episode of the Hannah Montana show.

I guess there are worse things than being associated with a gazzilion dollar franchise.
