Brooke Shields shows off incredible bikini body on her milestone 60th birthday
Brooke Shields showed off her incredible bikini body as she rang in her milestone 60th birthday on Saturday.
Over the weekend, the Blue Lagoon actress enjoyed a tropical getaway as she marked the special occasion with stunning Instagram photos.
'Woke up today in paradise... and in a new decade of life! This is 60! Thank you for all of the birthday love,' she wrote in her caption.
The Pretty Baby star — who broke down in tears because of an unexpected surprise while celebrating her daughter Grier's 19th birthday last month — shared two photos of herself lounging in a woven hammock and basking in the sunshine.
For her relaxing beach day, she wore a black string bikini and showcased her toned midriff as she posed for the cameras.
Her dark brunette tresses appeared wet from taking a dip in the clear, blue water, and she sported a wide-brimmed, straw hat to dry off in the sun and catch some rays.
One photo showed the silver screen star with the shore behind her and a second snapshot showed her leaning back, with her hair down, from behind.
On the same day, her daughter, Rowan Henchy, also marked the occasion with a series of Instagram Story posts as a sweet birthday tribute.
Alongside cute throwback photos of them together, Rowan, 22, referred to Shields as 'everyone's favorite girl boss.'
Rowan also lauded her mama, gushing over her like many other family, friends and coworkers as Shields reposted on her Instagram Story.
Her eldest daughter sweetly wrote alongside their photos: 'Happy birthday to my role model, partner in crime, and best friend. Thank you for always being my rock.'
She concluded her tribute and added: 'Love you mama.'
Shields shares Rowan as well as her daughter Grier with husband Chris Henchy.
Earlier this year, months before her birthday, Shields excitedly anticipated turning 60 and shared her plans to celebrate her milestone.
'I'm going to do something special with a group of friends,' she said while onstage at the Flow Space Presents an Evening with Brooke Shields event in New York City in January.
'I have friends that I laugh like that with. I have my boozy friends, I have my granola friends. They each serve a different part of my soul and psyche.'
Then, the actress said she wanted to continue celebrating the milestone even past her actual birthday.
'I'm going to try and take experiences that I really want to have and spend the time and the money on them,' she said.
For the rest of the year, she said she would like to 'just celebrate the year of this big year that I'm walking through.'

Contorted bodies and bare bottoms: Ralph Gibson's all-seeing eye
A new book collates six decades of Ralph Gibson's work, from 1960s photographs in San Francisco, Hollywood and New York to more recent nudes, portraits and still lives captured with his beloved Leicas. 'These first few early photographs were made with a Rollei 2.8 that I bought in the navy,' says Gibson. 'I couldn't seem to make it do what I wanted it to do. I wanted to make socially relevant photographs that showed the human condition, but it was only later that I found how to say what I wanted'. Ralph Gibson. Photographs 1960–2024 is published by Taschen 'When I moved to San Francisco, I was 21 and the whole world lay before me. More than anything the world of art was where I wanted to be. The Art Institute was where I met fellow artists and early lovers. We debated all these issues nightly at Vesuvio's Bar, but something was missing. The town was getting small. San Francisco was becoming more and more the kind of place where I might someday retire. It was time to move on with my life, and the only move I could make was back to Los Angeles. It felt somehow closer to what I wanted to become: a photojournalist' 'My father worked at Warner Brothers, and as I grew up in very suburban Southern California the things I most remember are a big backyard and the movies. I would often visit my father on the set after school. In the 1950s he became assistant director to Hitchcock, and the visits turned even more dramatic as I became an extra and bit player. I vividly recall the bright carbon-arc lights used to expose the slow orthochromatic black-and-white film of those days. My sense of contrast must surely have been born during this period as well as the idea of a strong camera presence' 'I would drive all day from the beach to downtown looking for jobs and finding instead images that reflected only my needs. The Strip was my first real assignment, reflecting the kind of photojournalism that in those days seemed so romantic, so important' 'I'd always known that what was really essential to my life would be found in New York. I left LA with three Leicas and $200. I checked into the Chelsea Hotel and didn't check out for three years. New York and I were a perfect match. To be a photographer in this town was like being in heaven. Images were everywhere. I started getting assignments right away and met all the people on the scene at Max's Kansas City. The crowd there all felt quite immortal, and I admit to sharing that feeling' 'I had been a photographer for 10 years, and I thought I understood my work. During my first year in New York my reality began to change. Dramatically. I slept most of the day and worked at night. I was drawn to atonal music, concrete poetry and the writing of Jorge Luis Borges, Alain Robbe-Grillet and Marguerite Duras, who all enormously influenced my inner being' 'I began drifting away from the idea of being a photojournalist. Photography was becoming the vehicle of my introspection. Nothing could have changed any of this. The camera was leading me to other dimensions, to expressions of entirely new feelings. The images took on a decidedly surrealistic overtone. I didn't understand what it all meant, but I continued to follow this tone. Eventually it occurred to me that I had been photographing a dream state. It was time to make a book. The Somnambulist was born in the Chelsea Hotel' 'After three long years of struggle, The Somnambulist was finally published. I financed the printing myself, which led to the founding of Lustrum Press and other publishing ventures. The acceptance of The Somnambulist drastically changed my life. Up to this time I had been on the outside of the recognised circles of photographers whom I admired. They'd all done something important, but until I produced this slim, 48-page volume, I was not included among them. The book was an immediate success, and within three months I was known in photographic circles wherever I went' 'Along with recognition came a bit more money, and for the first time since the navy it became possible to travel abroad. I had wanted for years to be able to photograph in Europe. The cultural depth of these older countries seemed to provide so much subject matter for someone born in Los Angeles. I decided to immediately start another book that would deal with a set of feelings entirely different from The Somnambulist. This group of photographs would address the most ephemeral sensation I could imagine – the feeling of Déjà-vu' 'As early as my art school days, I had wanted to move in closer to the subject. But it was also important to maintain certain attitudes towards scale and volume. I didn't fully come to realise all this until I started working with a 50mm dual-range Summicron lens for the Leica. This enabled me to get much closer to the subject without foreshortening or distortion. With all this in mind, I took particular notice of the image in Days at Sea of the woman in the white shirt with the sleeve rolled up' 'This was new visual territory and I found it extremely stimulating. I determined that one of the ways to subtract data from the image was to move in closer. Also, by selecting subjects that were essentially black and white to begin with, I would remain one step closer to reality' 'I've photographed women for many years and for many reasons. Whatever my intentions might have been at the moment, the female form would reflect the idea I was pursuing. However, I soon realised the impossibility of transcending the subject. A photographer often starts with one idea about the subject and finds the medium reveals its own intentions. The photographer finds himself having become the subject. A dialogue is born between the photographer and the photograph and continues throughout subsequent works. For this reason I believe the figure can never be fully mastered' 'I approach photographing the figure in much the same manner as a musician playing scales. A theme is announced and variations are performed with the goal of attaining ultimate harmony. Photography also resembles music with regard to the ephemeral nature of time and its measurements. One could suggest that certain notes, once struck, are as short or as long as photographic exposures. Beauty in a woman inhabits a force field charged with particles of light. It is almost as if the light is the subject, and the woman the source of light' 'The lines of a woman's form reflect any lighting situation that may occur upon it; a successful photograph of a nude becomes a lighting event in itself' 'Italy is a country and a museum of human nuance. To be a cittadino (citizen) of this land is to share in an ancient spiritual ownership. All gods are present in everything from art to food to love. The cities differ from one another to the degree that other countries differ in their attitudes and language. Politics are so complex that not even Machiavelli could make a clear definition. Love embraces all possibilities with equal blindness. Passion reigns and the moment endures' 'Quadrants remains one of my most simple and enduring series of images. I remember that most of the time I put the bright sun over my shoulder, just like it says on the little slip of paper that comes with the film' 'In Situ (in the natural or original position or place) is the photographic point of departure. Only the location of the image is permanent. The photograph displaces the object within it and separates the word from the object' 'I embarked upon a series entitled MONO, all in black and white, and this led to the colour/black series entitled Political Abstraction, 2015. This gave rise more recently to The Vertical Horizon, 2019–2024' 'In 2012 representatives from Leica came to my studio and proposed a limited-edition, signature monochrome camera. I put the shutter speed on 'A' and prepared to photograph the manhole cover. A bicycle entered the frame just as I released the shutter. As I looked at the image on the display, I said to myself: 'That looks like it could have been taken by me'. Since that morning in the fall of 2012, I have not exposed a single frame of film. I am entirely under the sway of the digital syntax. I am fascinated by this unique language. I will remain committed to the digital Leica'

High school graduate kicks another student in the face as he pulls a surprise stunt while accepting diploma
A Florida high school graduate has gone viral after backflipping on stage and kicking another student in the face while accepting his diploma. Footage of the moment posted on X showed the student launching from his feet as the other graduate trailed behind, but not quite far enough. As the South Plantation High School graduate leapt into a backflip, he came down to the stage he hit the girl behind him preparing to accept her own diploma. She had run onto the stage and pulled an excited face while waving to the crowd before he collided with her as onlookers gasped. Grimacing footage showed her fall to the ground almost instantly before she was picked up by those around her on stage. The crowd fell silent before applauding her as she got to her feet. Despite the painful blow to the face, she fixed her graduation cap and walked across the stage accepting her diploma. The TikTok user who originally shared the video claimed the graduate had warned the female student of his stunt but apologized afterwards. 'Excitement happened too quickly,' he said. Many viewers commented with stern words for the graduate, one wrote: 'This is why we don't act this way during a formal CEREMONY... it's graduation NOT A PLAYGROUND.' 'Warning her before or not, what was she supposed to do with it being back to back, hold everyone up so he could back flip, he could have done it off stage,' another said. 'Have some decorum.' 'Oh nah he just ruined her graduation,' one said. 'So wrong and selfish of him! He looked back and saw he didn't have clearance! To those laughing, bet you wouldn't be if someone ruined your moment,' another declared.

Dakota Johnson looks downcast without her engagement ring as she breaks cover amid Chris Martin split
Dakota Johnson appeared downcast as she surfaced in New York this Wednesday, hours before confirmed her split from Chris Martin. Actress Johnson, 35, and Coldplay frontman Martin, 48, first sparked up a relationship in 2017 and got engaged several years ago - but have now gone their separate ways. Just before news of their separation spread around the world, Johnson was seen emerging from the Greenwich Hotel in the Manhattan neighborhood Tribeca. She wore a large hat with a wide brim that drooped to conceal her eyes, but her somber expression was still in evidence. Her left hand was notably bare of her dazzling emerald engagement ring as she stepped out onto the sidewalk on Greenwich Street. A source has told of her breakup: 'Their relationship has been over for a long time, they just haven't been able to figure out to make it official. 'Dakota held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much. 'Breakups aren't instant and they continued to breakup and makeup and sometimes things would work when they were away from each other, while they were working because absence makes the heart grow fonder, but then they'd get back together and little things just kept adding up to where they weren't right for each other anymore. 'Dakota is devastated that she isn't going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them.' The source added there is a chance the pair may reconcile but 'right now, being separated will do wonders if they were to have any type of future together.' has reached out to representatives for Johnson and Martin for comment but did not immediately hear back. She also stepped out on Sunday with Martin's ex Jennifer Lawrence. DailyMail first reported trouble between the pair in August 2024 but a rep later confirmed they were still together. The pair had a brief rumored split in 2019 which was alleged to be over Martin pushing for them to have children, but they quickly got back together. Martin famously split from actress wife Gwyneth Paltrow, the mother of his two children Apple, 21, and Moses, 19, in March 2014 after ten years of marriage. The then-Hollywood power couple described their separation at the time as a 'conscious uncoupling' and had their divorce finalized in July 2016. Martin was reported to be in an on-and-off relationship with actress Annabelle Wallis before they split in August 2017. He was first seen with Dakota at a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles in October 2017 when they were reported to be 'cozy, laughing and affectionate'. Dakota, the daughter of Don Johnson, 75, and Melanie Griffith, 68, was spotted a month later at a Coldplay concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina, leading to fans posing social media pictures of her enjoying the show. The couple were seen out on more dates around Los Angeles in early 2018. But it was nearly a year later that they made their first openly public appearance together at Stella McCartney's Autumn 2018 Collection show in LA. Dakota's father, Don, appeared to confirm his daughter's relationship with Martin in an interview with Digital Spy when he joked: "Yeah, that's... uh troubling, isn't it? No, she's a big girl, she can handle herself!' Her actress mother also opened up about Martin during a Global Gift Foundation USA Women's Empowerment Luncheon, when she said: 'I adore him!' Dakota appeared to confirm her relationship with Martin in an interview with Tatler in September 2018 when she said: 'I'm not going to talk about it, but I am very happy.' The following November, she is said to have met Paltrow, her new husband Brad Falchuk, and Martin's children at a Thanksgiving dinner A source told PEOPLE at the time: 'They're a total modern family and had a great time celebrating together.' The couple were spotted again with Paltrow and Falchuk on the beach in the Hamptons, New York, in August 2019. Paltrow opened up about her ex-husband's relationship with Dakota in a 2020 interview with Harper's Bazaar, describing how the actress had become part of her family. She said: 'I love her. I can see how it would seem weird because it's sort of unconventional. But I think, in this case, just having passed through it iteratively, I just adore her.' Johnson gushed over Martin's children in a 2024 interview, saying: 'I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart.'
