Brooke Should Have Stayed With Andre

I don't do enough Brooke Shields gossip because, well frankly, no one really cares that much about her. Oh sure, she has a television show and people of a certain age will always have a fond place for her in their hearts because she was their fantasy or something when they were hitting puberty. But, think of people who were born in the past 20 years, what do they know her for? Two mediocre television shows, one of which she was the presumed star but gone outshone by everyone, the death of a friend in a Vegas hotel room, and her feud with Tom Cruise.

To jump start the gossip on Brooke, all you have to do is bring in her mother. Teri Shields is the woman of course who thought it was a wonderful idea that Brooke played a teenage hooker and to get as naked as possible prior to the age of 18 without crossing into child porn.

Now, Teri is old and mean, while previously she was just mean, and so now she is letting Brooke have it right between the pages of the Enquirer. Teri does the usual whining about not being able to see the grandkids or Brooke, but what that really means is that Brooke isn't coming over enough and slipping her a few bucks.

What I like though is that she thinks Chris Henchy, who Brooke married in 2001 exerts an unhealthy influence over Brooke. That is like calling the kettle black. It takes one to know one I guess. So, what does a mother in law do when she wants to say something nasty. "I preferred her first husband over Chris."

Well the quote kind of loses its impact when you realize she remembers Chris' name but forgets Andre Agassi's name. And I think the technically Brooke is on her first marriage because she and Andre had their marriage annulled even though they had been married forever. Therefore there is no first husband, but we get Teri's point.

I'm actually surprised that anyone from the Enquirer even knew who she was, or took her call. Maybe they did thinking she had something good to say and then they realized she was just whining because no one gives her attention. So, The Enquirer throws a little something together so the next time when Brooke is off cheating with some guy somewhere, Mom will come spill the beans.
