Brooke Shields reveals her daughter's surprising career choice
The 60-year-old actress - who has Rowan, 22, as well as 19-year-old Grief with her husband Chris Henchy - made her name with films such as Pretty Baby and Blue Lagoon but revealed that her eldest is actually set to go into the world of journalism and has already started making waves in the industry.
She told E! News: "She wants to go into broadcast journalism and news.
"She's been at different outlets. She's done their carpet stuff. She's so she's so appealing as a person.
"I mean, I'm her mother, you know, but people love her, and they tell me all the time. They come out of the woodwork, like when I'm doing a morning show.
"I just say, 'Never give up. Just keep going. She's going to be just fine."
The former Hannah Montana star previously admitted that she actually got to "meet" her daughters all over again once they reached adulthood and moved out to make their own in the world, even though she was "terrified" at the thought of them leaving home.
She told People: "I'm terrified to be an empty nester! All of a sudden, they're not yours anymore. When you realize they are their own human beings, you get to meet them again. To have them reveal themselves to you, it's a new type of relationship. I didn't mold them but I protected them enough so that they could become who they are, and I got out of the way.
"They're going to have each other's back. They're both tough and strong-willed. The world is not going to undo them. I'm proud of who they are. I'm really going to miss them. I want to stay on the periphery but I'm also excited about what's ahead."

The Kelly Clarkson Show reportedly won't be delayed following Brandon Blackstock's death
The Kelly Clarkson Show's filming schedule reportedly won't be impacted by the death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock. The talent manager died on August 7, aged 48, of natural causes after battling malignant melanoma. Kelly postponed her Las Vegas residency in order to spend more time with their children, River, 11, and Remington, nine, right before his death. In an update regarding her work schedule, a source told Deadline that Kelly missed one shoot for The Voice earlier this month following his passing, but that she was returning this week to film the NBC talent show. Reba McEntire, who was stepmother to Brandon, also filmed her appearance for Season 28. As for her eponymous talk show, production is said to be due to kick off as planned in a matter of weeks. As reported by the outlet, the programme is "on track to start production in early September as scheduled, with tickets available on studio audience sites." Brandon's death was announced by a family representative on the day he died. They told People at the time: "It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away. "Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time." The 43-year-old pop star - who endured an acrimonious split from the talent manager - had announced on X shortly before his passing: "Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas. "While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them." Although the singer revealed that Brandon was ill, she didn't share any other details about his sickness.

Dakota Johnson reveals 'weird' Madonna friendship
Dakota Johnson has been "weird friends" with Madonna for years. The 35-year-old star - whose parents are actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith - has opened up on her bond with the Queen of Pop, who she first met after Madonna worked with Dakota's stepfather Antonio Banderas on Evita in 1996. Dakota told E! News: "I really love her, we've been weird friends for a while. I met her when I was really young because she did a movie with my stepfather. "Then I got to know her later because we kinda worked together on something, we've always kind of circled each other." The Materialists actress described her friend as "an energy", while she still finds it surreal that they know each other. She added: "She is an energy to be near, but it is so beautiful and so wild and it's just cool that she wants to talk to me." Meanwhile, Dakota also reflected on her blossoming friendship with Splitsville co-star Adria Arjona after they grew close while filming the upcoming comedy. She said: "We love each other very much. When you're on location, you kind of band together. "We went to a hockey game and then we drank so much tequila." Adria admitted: "We drank a lot of tequila! I thought I could hang with Dakota." Dakota is also a producer on the movie, and she recently explained how she has relished the behind the scenes role because it helps her to put together a working environment that is "fun" and "fulfilling". She told Variety: 'If there's not a healthy collaboration, if it's not a good match, then it's not a good match. We really don't move forward if it's not a good match. 'I can't waste time on toxic sets anymore, or in situations that are not fun or fulfilling or healthy. That's one of the perks of [producing], because I get to put amazing people together and make something." Dakota didn't share any details of any past "toxic" experiences but stressed she has no desire to work with 'anybody who's mean or condescending or unkind.' She added: 'I don't want to face people who are not willing to collaborate, and then there are obvious things. 'We all know what a toxic set is by now. We're artists, so there's room for expansive personalities, and we're working with emotions.'
