In 2008, Teri blasted daughter Brooke Shields and her husband in The Enquirer
The National Enquirer ran a story in the February 28, 2008 edition featuring an interview with Brooke Shields’ mother and former manager, Teri. Teri told The Enquirer that Brooke refused to let her babysit her granddaughters and said that her daughter and the girls would only visit her occasionally for a short while. She added that she doesn’t like Brooke’s husband, Chris Henchy, and claimed he is too demanding of her granddaughters and controlling towards Brooke. Teri approved of her daughter’s first husband, Andre Agassi.
In Teri’s 2008 interview with The Enquirer, she told a story that made it clear why Brooke would no longer let her babysit her grandchildren. She also said that she’s an alcoholic and that she still struggles with drinking. It seems there are good reasons for her strained relationship with her daughter:
In an exclusive Enquirer interview, a bitter Teri lashed out at her famous daughter for turning her back on her - and blasted Brooke’s husband Chris Henchy for his “Svengali-like” control.
She also admitted that she has continued to struggle with her alcoholism.
“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,” 74-year-old Teri lamented.
“I wish I could see Brooke, but all she does is work. They were here over Christmas, dropped off some packages and were gone.
“But Brooke always makes time to visit her friends no matter how busy she is.
“I’m often disappointed in her, like the times 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.”
Teri says the contempt she holds for TV writer Chris stems from his treatment of her - as well as an incident she witnessed that involved the couple’s first-born daughter Rowan.
“A few years back during a meal in her high chair, Rowan started crying and decided she didn’t want to eat anymore,” Teri told The Enquirer.
“So in a fit, Rowan threw her dishes and food onto the floor. Just then, Chris walks in and in a raised voice says: ‘What’s this?’ He was so angry he made that poor little girl get down on the floor and pick up every last thing. Can you imagine?
“Brooke goes along with whatever he says - that’s the kind of Svengali-like influence he has over her.”
An Enquirer reporter visited with the legendary stage mom at her rambling home in Haworth, NJ.
Teri revealed Brooked banned her from being alone with her daughters because of an incident a few years back when Teri was baby-sitting for Rowan at the couple’s New York City apartment house.
Teri book Rowan in a rocker and left to pick up a food delivery in the lobby - but got stuck in the couple’s private elevator for hours.
“Rowan got out of her rocker and wandered around the apartment, crying and unsupervised,” Teri told The Enquirer.
“Fortunately, nothing happened to her. But that was the end for me - and it breaks my heart.”

There’s definitely some bad blood there between Brooke and her mom. It’s also apparent that Teri has a relationship with the National Enquirer and knows at least one journalist there.
Brooke Shields: Tabloid took advantage of mom; Enquirer: we’ve known Teri for over 10 years
Fast forward to over a year later and Teri is staying in a nursing home in New Jersey. A reporter from The Enquirer came to visit her and took her out to run some errands and then to a restaurant next door. Of course they were trying to get some updated dirt on her relationship with her famous daughter, but they clearly know her and have a relationship with her. Brooke Shields was so livid that The Enquirer journalist was allowed to visit her mom she told People Magazine that a tabloid “checked her mother out of a nursing home.” They were only taking her for errands she asked them to run and for lunch down the block. While the Enquirer reporter may have been taking advantage of the situation it’s not like they didn’t know her:
Brooke Shields’s mother, who suffers from dementia, was checked out of a New Jersey nursing home Thursday by a journalist seeking a “tabloid story,” the outraged actress tells PEOPLE.
Teri Shields, 75, was later found unharmed at a restaurant next door to an assisted living center in Old Tappan, N.J., talking to a freelance reporter, according to police, who say no arrests have been made but that the case remains under investigation.
“I intend to take every lawful action against all who were involved or who authorized this despicable act,” Brooke Shields says in a statement to PEOPLE.
The actress claims her mother was targeted by the National Enquirer.
“My mother Teri Shields has been diagnosed with dementia. For her safety, she has temporarily been in a senior living facility, a very difficult decision for me,” she says. “Late Thursday afternoon, I was alerted by Old Tappan Police that my mother had been signed out of the facility by two reporters of the National Enquirer ? who falsely claimed they were friends of hers.”
She adds: “They then drove my 75-year-old mother around looking for a tabloid story. As anyone knows who has a parent who suffers from dementia or Alzheimer’s, it is one of the most difficult experiences you can go through as a son or daughter. The idea that the National Enquirer took advantage of her state is reprehensible and disgusting.”
In a statement, the National Enquirer responds: “A freelance reporter who has known Teri Shields for more than 10 years visited her Thursday at the assisted living facility where Brooke says she moved her. Teri asked the reporter to take her out to lunch and to run some errands. The freelance reporter then got permission from the facility to do so.”
According to Old Tappan Police Department Capt. Thomas Shine, officers were called to the assisted living facility at 3 p.m. Thursday to look for Teri Shields. A supervisor at the facility said the elder Shields had been checked out.
“It was more along the lines that she had been allowed to leave, based upon their protocol or policy,” Shine tells PEOPLE. “It had been an extended period of time” since she left.
“Our officer located her with some form of a journalist, I think a freelance journalist, in an eatery right next door,” Shine continues. “She wasn’t harmed in any way shape or form. She was fine. The officers discussed the circumstances with her. And she literally walked with one of my officers next door to the assisted living center.”
Shine did not identify the journalist or a media outlet.
The journalist was interviewed by police, as was a photographer who was working with the reporter but wasn’t on the scene at the time officer arrived.
No charges have been filed, and the Shields family had not yet sought a criminal complaint, says Shine.

People will be quick to condemn the National Enquirer, but there are two sides to every story. Having read some of The Enquirer’s coverage of Brooke’s relationship with her mom, it’s hard to know who to side with. They posted a very plausible account of events on their website, and from their perspective they were just doing their job and weren’t exploiting an elderly lady. If their reporter has known Teri for ten years he may not be aware that she’s less coherent now than she was a year ago or if she’s unable to make her own decisions. You wonder if Brooke was more upset over the way her mom has trashed her in the tabloid in the past and less about the fact that journalists visited her. On the other hand, since Brooke’s mom suffers from dementia you can understand why she is so protective of her and outraged over what happened. It’s not as if they were there to help her out without getting a story. The Enquirer’s account sounds believable to me. At the same time you also question whether Teri is able to make her own decisions at this point and if the facility had the authority to approve the visit.

Reps for Brooke Shields’ tell TMZ that Jack McCollough did nothing to justify the headbutt he received from Kiefer Sutherland. The original story said Jack knocked Brooke to the ground causing Jack to come defend her honor.
Reps say that nothing like that happened. They added, “Jack did nothing inappropriate. It’s not clear what caused Kiefer to do what he did.” Witnesses say otherwise, but Shields’ rep insists that Jack, who designs clothes for Brooke, “did absolutely nothing to her.”
Oddly enough, when asked whether Jack touched her or not, her reps admit that they don’t know.
However after an interview, cops say Brooke Shields is “definitely involved” and her story corroborates Kiefer’s.
Exciting! I love a mystery. But, I think it’s pretty clear what happened given all the evidence. It was Jack in the library with a candlestick. There! I solved the great mystery of the Costume Institute Gala afterparty. I’m like a regular Hardy boy.

You’d think after seven seasons of “24? everyone would know by now that you just don’t fuck with Jack Bauer. Period. But a prissy little Proenza Schouler designer chose his own fate when he refused to apologize to Brooke Shields after knocking her to the ground in front of JackBauer Kiefer Sutherland Monday night. According to TMZ
It happened at an after-party for the Met costume gala last night. Witnesses say the alleged victim — Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCollough — allegedly knocked Brooke Shields over and Kiefer saw it happen. The witnesses say Kiefer went over to the man and told him to apologize to her. At that point they say McCollough pushed Kiefer and the actor responded with a headbutt.
In a world rife with politically correct metrosexuals, it’s absolutely panty-moistening to see a man’s man step up in defense of a woman’s honor. And they say chivalry is dead! Apparently they’ve never heard of Jack Bauer.

Keifer Sutherland got into a fight at an after party for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s star-studded Costume Institute Gala. The 42 year-old star of “24? headbutted a designer, breaking the guy’s nose and sending him to the hospital. According to different accounts, designer Jack McCollough either knocked over or bumped into Brooke Shields and Sutherland rushed to her defense, telling McCollough to apologize. McCollough refused and pushed Sutherland instead, which prompted Sutherland to headbutt him in the face. Shields rep says that there was no incident with his client which would have made Sutherland come to her defense:
Women’s wear designer Jack McCollough found that out the hard way when he cut between Jack’s alter-ego, Kiefer Sutherland, and Brooke Shields as they were schmoozing at a SoHo nightspot and got a whopping head-butt from the “24? star, police said.
Some witnesses said McCollough, co-founder of the white-hot Proenza Schouler label, suffered a broken nose in the bell-ringing Tuesday morning at SubMercer, but he told cops all he got was a small cut on his schnoz.
Investigators from the 1st Precinct have the misdemeanor case now and are reaching out to Sutherland to get his side of the story.
Some witnesses said Sutherland went into action hero mode after McCollough bumped into Shields as she and Sutherland talked at the bar about 2 a.m.
Sutherland took offense and demanded the designer apologize to Shields.
But the two men got into a heated argument that ended with Sutherland head-butting McCollough, a police source said.
Shields, who may be talking to cops today, apparently is taking McCollough’s side.
Her reps say the designer did nothing to deserve the head-butt and although Shields did get jostled, possibly off her feet, “nothing happened to her.”
McCollough told investigators Sutherland “was drunk and obnoxious and wouldn’t back down or be logical.”
He said Sutherland “pulled this stupid wrestling move like a teenager,” then slammed McCollough in the face.
A police source quoted McCollough as saying the dustup “wasn’t even over anything . . . he was just roiling drunk and looking for something to smack. It didn’t matter what.”
[From The Ny Daily News]
Sutherland spent the 2007-2008 holiday season in Glendale City Jail, where he served a full 49 day sentence for a September, 2007 DUI, his second in under three years. With his second DUI he violated probation for his previous DUI from 2004. The judge presiding over his case was Judge Michael Sauer, who put Paris Hilton in jail for a full 45 days for just driving on a suspended license.
With this latest fight, Sutherland has violated probation for his last DUI, although it’s unknown if he’ll have to face charges back in California. The guy went to jail for over a month and a half and was also assigned six months of weekly therapy, five years probation, and an 18-month alcohol education program. Considering that he only got out of jail in January, 2008, he’s probably still in alcohol education classes. He’s been seen getting wasted all over NY and this latest incident just makes the fact that he’s fallen off the wagon all the more public.
Sutherland is one of the highest paid stars on television and according to AOL Television makes $13 million a year.

Brooke Shields is talking about aging in Hollywood in the May issue of More Magazine (story via US Magazine). I realize that Brooke has a really loyal fanbase, but I?ve never been her biggest fan. She seems nice enough, and I was totally on her side with the whole Tom Cruise/post-partum depression stuff, but I tend to think she?s over-rated as an actress and as a beauty. So when I hear her complain about aging, I feel like ?Jeez, cry me a river, Brooke. Stop whining.? But, hey, that?s just me.
Brooke says ?it occurred to me recently that I wasn’t 26!? Yeah, that happens. It happened to me when I turned 27 years old. Of course, I have a young face and I still get carded at the liquor store. Brooke also says, in regards to parts for women over 40: ?There aren’t a lot of movies out there for my age… They’re still stopping at the mid-30s. Then you’re Diane Keaton or Glenn Close.? I know what point Brooke is trying to make, but did she just compare herself to Diane Keaton and Glenn Close?
In a revealing new interview, Brooke Shields - who turns 44 next month - says her age is making it hard for her to land roles in Hollywood.
“For years, I’ve been the youngest person on the set, and it occurred to me recently that I wasn’t 26!” she tells May’s More Magazine. “I’d read a script and say, ‘Oh, that’s a great character, that’s something I’d love to do.’ And they’d say, ‘Um, no, we’re thinking of you for the mother.’ And then I’d say, ‘Oh, of course! Of course! I knew that.’”
“There aren’t a lot of movies out there for my age,” adds Shields, whose NBC show Lipstick Jungle was canceled last year after two seasons. “They’re still stopping at the mid-30s. Then you’re Diane Keaton or Glenn Close.” (Keaton is 63; Close, 62.)
Shields — who, at age 14, became the youngest fashion model ever to appear on Vogue and went on to be a Calvin Klein model — says she sees ageism in advertising too.
“I always find it funny that so much skin cream advertising features, like, Jessica Alba,” she says. “She’s gorgeous, and 12! Okay? They’re all that age! I don’t care how much La Mer I put on my skin, I’m not going to have Jessica Alba’s face!”
When it comes to her body, Shields says, “I’m proud of my longevity more than anything else. There’s a lot to be said for endurance. I’m trying to find the beauty in the whole picture rather than the crow?s feet.”
She adds, “Sure, I wish I had the face I had a decade ago, but I don’t. People say, ‘I love my wrinkles.’ I don’t love my wrinkles ? come on!”

I?ll give Brooke some credit - she looks lovely and healthy for her age. She obviously strives to take care of herself, and it shows. But whenever I hear someone like her complaining about not getting good roles, all I can think is that the roles have dried up partially because those women aren?t the most talented. Yes, there?s prevalent ageism and sexism in Hollywood. Yes, more women should be more empowered at all levels of Hollywood to make more and better films that feature strong women at every age. But if you waste your time on crap like Lipstick Jungle, I don?t really care about your career.
Here?s Brooke at the Roundabout Theatre Company’s 2009 Spring Gala held at Roseland Ballroom in New York City on April 6th. Images thanks to WENN.com .

So remember the story about the stage manager that stole set props from Lipstick Jungle and put them up on eBay? Well Brooke Shields claims the he also stole her wallet according to Gatecrasher.
“[Arthur Moreira] is the same guy who stole my wallet out of my dressing room last season, right out of my purse!” Shields tells us. Last week, reports surfaced that Moreira took more than $30K worth of designer duds.
Says Shields: “He’s not very bright, because the purse was worth more than the wallet.”
Poor Brooke because that totally sucks, but I love her response to it.

A man who works for the storage and production facility in Brooklyn used by Brooke Shields’ show Lipstick Jungle was caught stealing $30,000 of designer merchandise from the show and selling it on eBay. Police set up a Sting after a fashion designer’s employee saw one of her boss’ purses being sold online for a discounted price.
Arthur Moreira, 27, was arrested Friday after investigators posing as buyers found missing items at his apartment. The haul included 16 coats, bags and suits by Prada, Gucci, Fendi and Dolce & Gabbana.
The Brooklyn District Attorney’s office said prosecutors investigated after an employee of Paris fashion designer Sylvia Toledano saw a crystal-encrusted clutch that had been loaned to the show for sale on the Internet.
Prosecutors said Moreira offered to sell the bag and a Burberry coat for less than retail value by explaining that “they fell off the back of a truck.”

Do you think this happens more often than we hear about? There are stories about celebrities hoarding loot every once in a while; though when stars do it, they’re a (practically) free walking advertisement for the fashion house. $30,000 worth of stuff is an awful lot to steal outright from the set of a TV show. How did he think he was going to get away with it while auctioning everything on eBay? A heads up to online shoppers: anyone who says their merchandise “fell off the back of a truck” is probably lying.

Out promoting his film Valkyrie in Korea, Tom Cruise told the press that he’s hated Hitler since childhood. FOX News reports:
?I always wanted to kill Hitler, I hated him,? Cruise, 46, said. ?As a child studying history and looking at documents, I wondered, ?why didn?t someone stand up and try to stop it?? When I read the script, it was entertaining and informative to know what the challenges were and what it was like to be in the environment.?
While all the other kids imagined what it’d be like to plow Brooke Shields, Tom dreamed about assassinating Hitler. Sounds like a normal childhood to me. One which could lead to repressed homosexuality and masochistic fantasies involving Adolph and Japanese tentacle rape.

So remember when Brooke Shields told reporters that Lipstick Jungles wasn't dead and we all thought she was delusional? Well turns out she wasn't and NBC is still considering this show for the fall according to Stephanie Robbins! NBC announced today they are waiting to see what happens with pilot season before they make a final decsion on the show. I personally like this show, so I hope NBC brings it back! It is better than a lot of the other shows that are currently on their air.
