Per the book's official description, Shields often felt 'scrutinized' and 'judged' while in the spotlight, but, as she's gotten older, she has learned that time can provide a new sense of freedom and independence.

Monyetta Shaw-Carter's Birthday Hits Different – She's Celebrating Life & Love After A Stage 1 Breast Cancer Battle
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Today (May 31) isn't just another birthday for Monyetta Shaw-Carter — it's a full-on rebirth. After battling stage 1 breast cancer, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star's special day hits different. She is turning 45 and celebrating with purpose, power, and a whole lot of pink. 'I caught the cancer early, and because of that, I will be here for my kids,' she told People . 'There's nothing more important than getting checked often and early to protect your future. Our health is irreplaceable.' Her diagnosis came after she felt an unusual sensation in her left breast last September. She didn't find a lump but told People she had a strange feeling that something was off. She listened. And that instinct saved her life. 'It was literally like my body was alerting me that something was wrong,' Monyetta said. 'It's so important for me to share this story because I hope to inspire others not to dismiss their gut feeling. Our body speaks to us, and when it does, we have to listen. It can be a matter of life or death.' One month after that self-check, a mammogram confirmed she had stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma. She underwent a lumpectomy in January and completed 16 rounds of radiation by May 2. Now, weeks later, she's bringing her loved ones together for a joyful, pink-powered birthday bash. Her party honors life, resilience, and sisterhood. Monyetta credits her husband, Heath Carter, for being her rock through it all. She also had the support of her ex-fiancé, singer NE-YO, with whom she shares two children. 'NE-YO was just showing up for me in a major way and just always asking and making sure everything was okay,' she recalled in a recent interview. 'He was like, 'Oh, you're gonna beat this.'' Her RHOA circle also showed up with love. Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, Porsha Williams, Shamea Morton, and Shereé Whitfield all supported. For Monyetta Shaw-Carter, breast cancer is real but not unbeatable. So why not celebrate? As the founder of Keep It Classy Nails , a mother of four, and a businesswoman, she wants Black women everywhere to trust their instincts, take care of themselves, and live on their own terms. 'I'm stepping into this new chapter with deeper gratitude, unstoppable faith, and a whole new glow,' she wrote on Instagram. 'This birthday is more than candles and cake…it's a celebration of life, a reflection of pain & purpose, of healing, and God's grace. I've faced one of the biggest battles of my life… and I WON!!!'

She Moved Out. Now Her Former Roommate Wants Her to Pay for Electricity She Didn't Use
A woman was shocked after her former roommate requested that she pay part of the electric bill after she moved out The Reddit user said she found the situation "completely ridiculous" She stood her ground and refused to pay for the electricity that she did not useA woman seeks support from the Reddit community due to a heated dispute with her former roommate over an electricity bill. The poster, a 27-year-old, recently moved out of the apartment she shared with the woman she calls Patty, 25, and is now questioning whether she should pay for a portion of the bill after her departure. Before she moved out on April 25, the poster says they paid off the outstanding balance and transferred the utility account to Patty's name. The final bill, which covered the previous two months, was 'substantially higher than anything we paid before' due to Patty's increased heater use and her boyfriend's extended stay at their place. Despite being away for the entire month of March, the poster still split that month's bill evenly with Patty, highlighting her willingness to share costs even when she wasn't present, she states. The situation escalated when Patty reached out a week after the move, asking about the following power bill that included the last few days of April. 'I said that in the final bill we already paid for most of April and her next bill will only include April 26th-April 30th,' the poster explains, noting that Patty's boyfriend was visiting again during those last days of April and 'using the heater all day.' Patty then informed her that she would calculate what the poster owed for those five days based on the upcoming bill. 'I'm finding this completely ridiculous,' the poster admits, frustrated by the lack of clarity over how the charges would be determined and the possibility of paying for energy used by Patty's guests. After moving out, the poster says Patty hosted several other people in the apartment, and a new roommate moved in just a week after her departure. She points out, 'Whatever light they all spent will obviously add up there,' making it difficult to fairly divide the costs for those few days. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Adding to her frustration, the poster notes her generosity during their time as roommates. 'Mind you, I have gifted her a ton of stuff when I moved out and have also helped her with free resources for school,' she shares, also mentioning times she provided rides and covered the light bill when Patty was away for two months. Despite her past kindness, the poster is now being asked to pay for days she cannot accurately account for, including usage by Patty's boyfriend and other guests. 'Now she's going to charge me 5 days that she'll divide based on her next bill? PLUS I would be paying half for her boyfriend as well,' she writes, incredulous at the request. Ultimately, the poster is choosing to stand firm in her decision to refuse payment for those disputed days. Read the original article on People

Miley Cyrus speaks out about dad Billy Ray's romance with Elizabeth Hurley
Miley Cyrus is sharing her thoughts on her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus ' new relationship and reflecting on how their own bond has evolved. In a new interview with The New York Times published Saturday, the Grammy winner spoke candidly about Billy Ray's romance with actress Elizabeth Hurley, as well as her mom Tish Cyrus' marriage to actor Dominic Purcell. "Now that my mom is so in love with my stepdad, who I completely adore, and now that my dad, I see him finding happiness, too -- I can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing," Miley told the outlet. "I'm being an adult about it." She continued, "At first it's hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, 'Yes, that's your dad, but that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy.' My child self has caught up." Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus, who tied the knot in 1993, divorced in 2022 after nearly 30 years of marriage. They share three children -- Miley, Braison, and Noah -- and Billy Ray also adopted Tish's two older children, Brandi and Trace. Billy Ray went public with his relationship with Hurley on Easter Sunday. Their debut as a couple came just months after he finalized his divorce from his second wife, Firerose, in August 2024, according to People. In her New York Times interview, Miley also addressed longstanding speculation about her relationship with her father. When asked if they were estranged, she simply replied, "No." "I think timing is everything," she explained. "As I've gotten older, I'm respecting my parents as individuals instead of as parents -- because my mom really loved my dad for her whole life, and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard. And so I think I took on some of my mom's hurt as my own because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult, and so I owned a lot of her pain." Her comments followed a rare family photo that Billy Ray shared earlier this month, showing the family reunited to celebrate Braison's 31st birthday -- a moment that came after months of rumors about a rift between the father and daughter. Miley also directly addressed those rumors in a statement shared to her Instagram stories on May 10. "My dad and I have had our challenges over the years," she wrote at the time, per E! News. "Now, in my thirties, family is my priority above all else. I'm at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing. Grateful for the good health and love that flows through my family." Billy Ray echoed those sentiments in his own Mother's Day post on Instagram, praising his daughter and the progress they've made. "I'm so proud of Miley and her guts and her courage... her wisdom and strength to bring it when our family needed it most," he wrote. "We are so close to a full healing."
