Brooke Shields takes charge of her story in ‘Pretty Baby’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:03:11 GMT

NEW YORK — Brooke Shields has been known as beautiful, smart and famous since she was a baby, but a new documentary reveals why it’s taken decades for her to feel confident in her talent.With a dazzling array of archival photos and footage, and in-depth interviews with Shields, “Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields” is a firsthand examination of her success as a model, actor, author and now lifestyle entrepreneur, despite being sexualized and objectified at a young age and managing her alcoholic mother — the original “momager,” Teri Shields.Like other recent documentaries on Britney Spears and Pamela Anderson, “Pretty Baby” includes a cringeworthy barrage of media clips where mostly older men reduce her to a pretty face and have little interest in her answers to their questions. The film, which drops in two parts on Hulu on Monday, looks back at how women were treated in the 1980’s and 1990’s — including Shields revealing she was the victim of a sexual assault by a Hollywood executive after ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:03:11 GMT

The United States is Earth’s punching bag for nasty weather.Blame geography for the U.S. getting hit by stronger, costlier, more varied and frequent extreme weather than anywhere on the planet, several experts said. Two oceans, the Gulf of Mexico, the Rocky Mountains, jutting peninsulas like Florida, clashing storm fronts and the jet stream combine to naturally brew the nastiest of weather.That’s only part of it. Nature dealt the United States a bad hand, but people have made it much worse by what, where and how we build, several experts told The Associated Press.Then add climate change, and “buckle up. More extreme events are expected,” said Rick Spinrad, head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.Tornadoes. Hurricanes. Flash floods. Droughts. Wildfires. Blizzards. Ice storms.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:03:11 GMT

Jared Bednar and Brett Heimlich were in a slump. But they didn’t shy away from the moment in Central Division crunch time Saturday. Confidence unfazed, they took the shot.At a coach’s challenge.In one of the most consequential moments of the Avalanche’s season, Bednar snapped a 54-game streak in which he had not won a coach’s challenge. After Dallas had scored to seemingly cut a 3-1 Avalanche lead in half with 10:54 remaining, Colorado’s bench asked for a video review. The NHL determined that Ryan Suter of the Stars committed goalie interference by forcing Logan O’Connor into Alexandar Georgiev.“I was involved in the play, so I didn’t really have a great sense of what was going to happen,” O’Connor said. “… Bit of a panic mode there.”As Dallas celebrated the goal, Georgiev immediately confronted referees about the play. What ensued was a swift process to make a risky decision in a tense, vital game. Bednar...

COLOGNE, Germany (AP) — Cologne held local rival Borussia Mönchengladbach to a 0-0 draw in the Bundesliga on Sunday in the first game for Cologne since it emerged the club was facing a transfer ban.In a game of few clear-cut chances, Swiss goalkeeper Jonas Omlin made two key saves for Gladbach near the end of the first half.
