Gwen Stefani’s emotions have been all over the place as a result of the holiday season, which brings both happy and sad news.

After learning of Vivienne Westwood’s death, the No Doubt singer posted a photo of the fashion queen on Instagram to express her grief.

“It hurts my heart to learn of the loss of the renowned Vivienne Westwood, who had a significant influence not just on the fashion business but also on popular culture,” Gwen said beside a photo of herself with the late fashion designer.

The last scene of the documentary Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields, about the 57-year-old actor’s life, career, and sexual objectification as a child, is an intimate family dinner at the West Village townhouse Shields shares with her husband, writer Chris Henchy, and two teenage daughters, Rowan, 19, and Grier, 16.

Shields asks her daughters if they have seen either of the films that catapulted her to teenage stardom: 1978’s Pretty Baby, about a child prostitute in turn-of-the-20th-century New Orleans, and 1980’s Blue Lagoon, an Adam and Eve–inspired island-survival fantasy. Grier says that edits of Pretty Baby on TikTok had steered her away from watching it in full. Rowan asks her mother if she appears naked in the film.

When Shields says, “Yes, my little 11-year-old body,” Rowan visibly shudders. “Okay, no, that’s weird, Mom,” Rowan says, her hands up in protest. Shields probes them as to why, while Henchy nervously chews his steak at the head of the table. “Child pornography!” cries Grier.

It sounds simple, but after two hours of watching Shields wrestle with the way that she was presented to the world and treated by the film and media industries as a young person, the documentary’s takeaway does not feel quite so straightforward.

I can only imagine the amount of unrelenting pressure most celebrities live their lives trying to deal with.

Criticism regarding one’s work is inevitable and, at times perhaps, even acceptable. Obviously no artist is going to create something that’s universally loved every time, just as entertainers are going to have bad nights once in a while.

Yet while fans expressing such opinions is part and parcel of being a high-profile individual, by this day and age I think we can all agree we hoped we’d be above personal attacks or trolling online.

Sadly, we’re not, and the internet has done a tremendous job of effectively serving as a megaphone in a town square with room for millions. Not only do celebrities run the risk of bumping into disgruntled fans in their everyday lives, but they also now have to live with a barrage of comments each time they decide to let others in by way of posting to their social platforms.

Halle Berry was reminded just how harsh the internet can be at the weekend, after she shared a stunning nude photo of herself.

Suffice to say Halle Berry broke the internet on Saturday when she posted a photo of herself standing on a balcony drinking a glass of wine and wearing … wait for it … absolutely nothing.

The 56-year-old Oscar-winning actress accompanied the picture with the caption: “I do what I wanna do.”

Yet while a good many of the responses in the comments field were positive (people at large cheered Berry on), there were, of course, also those who had negative things to say.

One person took particular exception to Berry’s nude photo, writing: “Imagine being in your 50s, still posting nudes for attention in menopause when you should be chilling with the grandkids. Aging with dignity is no longer a thing.”

Now, given that Berry’s been an A-lister for a considerable amount of time, one could be forgiven for thinking she might just turn a blind eye to her naysayers, treating them with disregard they deserve.

That’s not the cloth from which the ‘Catwoman’ star is cut from, however.

No, the Hollywood star clapped back with a response that her followers found absolutely hilarious.

The “Monster’s Ball” actress retweeted the post with her own comment, which read, “Did you guys know the heart of a shrimp is located in its head?”

“As someone roughly your age.. keep living your best life and sharing whatever the heck you want when you want,” one Twitter used shared.

Another user wrote: “Imagine getting mad because a beautiful woman is proud of her body, couldn’t be me.”

Actress Audra McDonald wrote: “You won the internet today with this clap back.”

Won the internet indeed. Unsurprisingly, Berry’s response to the troll got far more love than the initial comment.

I for one love it when small-minded would-be bullies are put in their place.

Are you a fan of Halle Berry and her work? Do you think she did anything wrong in posing naked for the photo mentioned above?

Let us know thoughts and feelings in the comments box!

This year, the star became a mother, twice. Earlier this year, Paris Hilton and her husband Carter Reum had a son , Phoenix, and just a week ago the star announced that they now also have a daughter , London. The celebrity did not comment on the method by which the babies were born, but it is quite obvious that they were born by a surrogate mother. Paris, of course, is criticized on the Internet for this: they say that she is buying children for herself and, in general, she did not give birth, which means there is no connection with the child. In the end, the star, accustomed to hate since childhood, could not stand it.

The star explained in her reality show that the reason why she and her husband turned to a surrogate mother was not at all because Paris did not want to walk around with a belly. On the contrary, she dreams of feeling “the baby’s kicks and other exciting moments.” The star said that it was about her publicity. Whether she didn’t want to discuss it, or to disappear from life, or was concerned about safety, it’s unclear. But what is clear is that the decision to become a surrogate mother was not easy for Paris. In addition, the star was worried about the health of her children and decided that it would be better if another woman carried them.

The celebrity’s husband also took the floor. Carter worries that their family will never be “normal.” His wife, he says, has a very famous last name, and I want our kids to be at least sometimes not the children of Paris Hilton. Nevertheless, the couple treats this as a given and philosophically. “I don’t think we know everything that awaits us on this journey, but we’ll just figure it out as we go,” he said.

Donna Mills returned to Hollywood at 82 after an 18-year disappearance.

The “Knots Landing” star raised an interracial girl alone that she adopted at 54.

Before becoming a single mother, Donna was “happily unmarried” with a longtime partner for years.

In February 2023, Donna Mills was 82 and back on screen after an 18-year break with a camera in the film “Nope.” She would also be in a leading role in the first series of television films based on the Cutler Family novels.

The star lived in Brentwood, Los Angeles, where she maintained good looks. Donna still had her iconic blond hair, still lush and complete, and although she didn’t opt much for cosmetic enhancement, she did use fillers.

The star said she used them because she didn’t want to “look like a duck.” Her grown-up daughter, Chloe Mills, then 28, was living with the legendary actress while working as a model, and in February 2023, Donna shared the latest photo of herself.

In an Instagram post, the actress shared an image of her alongside her daughter and another of her alone. The star revealed in the caption that she and her daughter, whom she called “bunny,” were in the Daily Mail, adding:

“She’s the best decision I’ve ever made… now that she’s all grown up, I couldn’t be happier to be back in-front of the camera.”

Fans were thrilled to see the actress’ latest image and her daughter. One person was surprised to see Donna’s photo and wanted to know if the pictures were taken 20 years before because the star hadn’t “changed a bit!!”

Someone else thought the mother-daughter pair were both “just stunning.” A third person believed Donna and Chloe were “blessed to have each other” because there was “no greater love than that,” while another fan thought the duo was “beautiful ladies” before noting how the actress had raised a “wonderful and talented lady.”

Did Donna Raise Chloe with a Man?
According to her IMDb account, Donna once had a long-term relationship with Richard Holland. An October 1986 magazine article revealed that the actress was “happily unmarried” by age 41 and was dating Holland.

The star and the writer-producer had been in a relationship for several years. In 1983, Donna, then 37, confessed that she always had a relationship, but during the past five years, she had been dating one person – Holland, then 31.

Hollan was an advertising executive and a screenwriter, and he was once a rock guitarist. Although the pair had been together for a long time, they lived in their two-bedroom houses, with the actress’s one in Beverly Hills.

Her home even had a terraced outdoor swimming pool, while Holland’s home was near Studio City and featured a hot tub. The “Knots Landing” star once revealed that there was a point where she and her boyfriend were “practically living together.”

However, it didn’t seem far on Holland when she was shooting shows and would get 5 a.m. wake-up calls. The couple then decided they’d stay together only on weekends, but the screenwriter said they didn’t live together because they weren’t married.

Donna wasn’t rushing into marriage, and she and her boyfriend had their own homes to escape to whenever needed. The actress explained that she didn’t see getting married as giving “more security” than one who wasn’t in a union.

Despite them not being married, the star admitted that Holland was the change she wanted. The relationship fizzled out, with the pair never having children together, and Donna had her daughter alone.

Why Did Donna Decide to Adopt Alone at 54 and Disappear from the Public?
Before Donna adopted Chloe, she was focused on her career. In 2022, the actress confessed that she realized something – a child- was missing at a certain point and decided to go after it, adopting her daughter when she was four.

Donna was 54 when she got Chloe and recalled people saying she was too old to have a baby, but she never felt the same. The star said she never felt older than other mothers in their 20s and took an 18-year break from her career to be home with her daughter.

Throughout those years, Chloe’s mother didn’t work except for the first few years. Donna did some television movies and other things that allowed her to take her daughter with her wherever but when Chloe started school, her mother couldn’t leave town for two months at a time, with her admitting:

“I didn’t become a mother to give her to a nanny.”

Chloe’s mother was described as an ambitious person who “concentrated” on her career as an actress or a film production company owner. Donna was already well-known on television when she gave up her career to become a single parent.

The star wanted children even though it hadn’t been the most important thing in her life. In 1989, she left “Knots Landing” but had minor roles and her company to fall back on but wanted something more and noticed she felt jealous when she saw children running to their mothers.

The actress felt discontent and realized she wanted to be a mother and had something to give a child. It took a Los Angeles adoption agency nine months to find a baby for Donna, who “fell in love” with Chloe the moment she set her eyes on her.

The actress’s only child [Chloe Mills] wanted it to be the two of them, and Donna [Mills] was fine with that.
The star felt her new baby was hers and believed the right child who was meant for her came. She did some films in the first year or two because she could take her daughter along, but she stopped when the child started school.

If Donna had lived in the UK, adoption might’ve been hard for her as a single woman in her mid-50s. However, in the US, private agencies arranged most of the adoptions, and it was a different process, but the actress said it hadn’t crossed her mind, although it should’ve.

California didn’t have any marriage requirements or upper age limit for adoption, but the adopter had to see a psychiatrist before the adoption. However, no one in the adoption process mentioned Donna’s age to her, but some outsiders weren’t pleased, with her recalling:

“People would sometimes say: ‘You’re going to have a toddler running around when you’re 60 —that’s going to be terrible!’”

Chloe’s mother never felt older than the 30 years younger mothers in the playgroup with her, and she was even friends with some of them today. People she knew never commented on the fact that she adopted an interracial child.

However, Donna still joined an organization that specialized in interracial adoptions because she felt there might be issues she’d need to address. The organization had classes and summer camp where the actress learned things she wasn’t aware of, like buying certain hair care products for her daughter.

At age three, the star asked her daughter if she’d like a sister or brother, and the child agreed. Donna then told the child that she’d have to hold the baby sometimes, and Chloe hilariously changed her mind about having a sibling, and the discussion was put to rest!

The actress’s only child wanted it to be the two of them, and Donna was okay with that. Taking on parenthood as a single mother was a rare route, but the star could devote herself to motherhood entirely because she’d made money throughout her career.
