Stars Gather To Celebrate Michael Jackson's Life

PopSugarUK — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 03:19:34 -0700

Michael Jackson was remembered in a huge memorial service at the LA Staples Center yesterday, featuring performances and words from friends, family and fans of the late King of Pop. Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, John Mayer and Usher were among those performing songs, while Brooke Shields, Motown founder Barry Gordy, the Rev. Al Sharpton and basketball stars Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant were among those that spoke of the man behind the legend. Young Britain's Got Talent star Shaheen Jafargholi sang confidently in front of the huge audience, both at the center and watching across the world on TV and online, while Jermaine Jackson sang Michael's favourite song "Smile".

The event was a huge star-studded production, but the reality of the family's loss was brought to our attention through the broken words of his eleven year old daughter Paris, who described Michael as "the best father you could imagine" before she broke down onstage. There were celebratory moments for his life, and some very moving moments - if you watched last night, what did you think?

Have You Ever Carried Protective Pounds Like Brooke Shields?

FitSugar — Fri, 29 May 2009 09:00:00 -0700

It's hard to imagine the beautiful Brooke Shields feeling uncomfortable in her own skin, but she expressed the insecurity she felt as a young actress in a recent interview with Health magazine. When asked about her biggest health regret, Brooke confided that she wished she'd learned self-acceptance much earlier, and explained how her lack of confidence prevented her from losing her virginity before age 22. She continued:

I had the public and all this pressure, and I wish I had just gotten it over with in the beginning when it was sort of OK. I think I would have been much more in touch with myself. 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.

Learning to love your body is an essential piece of building self-esteem, and Brooke's was knocked down when she experienced public scrutiny. The additional pounds allowed her to put distance between herself and anyone who might get close to her and make her feel even more vulnerable. Have you been through similar weight issues?

Brooke Shields: Pretty Baby Has Staying Power as Smart Mama

lilsugar — Tue, 26 May 2009 06:00:08 -0700

Brooke Shields has proved she's more than just a pretty baby, but a talented woman. Thrust into the public eye modeling for Ivory Soap at the age of 11 months, the stunner had a successful modeling and film career before she took to the small screen starring in a number of television shows like Suddenly Susan, That '70s Show and the recently canceled, Lipstick Jungle.

Though she sparked controversy with her role as a child prostitute in 1978's Pretty Baby and again a few years later in a Calvin Klein jeans ad, Shields may best be known these days as an outspoken advocate for women suffering from postpartum depression. Following the birth of her daughter Rowan, 6, the actress wrote Down Came the Rain an account of her struggle with the disease, her battle with fertility and her suicidal thoughts. She publicly and passionately disagreed with Tom Cruise about the use of psychiatric drugs for PPD treatment though they eventually called a truce.

The mom of two – Shields also is mom to Grier, 3, – still does a number of advertisements and promotes her books, including the just-released It's the Best Day Ever, Dad! about the bond between fathers and daughters.

"I would have lost my virginity earlier than I did at 22. I had the public and all this pressure, and I wish I had just gotten it over with in the beginning when it was sort of OK.

And to me, that’s a health regret."

She may have seemed like an early bloomer at the age of 15 in Blue Lagoon, but Brooke Shields told Health Magazine that she didn't lose her virginity until years after that movie. Would you change the age you lost your virginity if you could?
