Why Brooke Shields Is Only Leaving Her Jewelry to One of Her Daughters
Originally appeared on E! Online
Only one of Brooke Shields' pretty babies will be inheriting her coveted jewelry collection.
The Suddenly Susan alum revealed she plans to leave all of her diamonds to 19-year-old daughter Grier Henchy because her oldest child, 22-year-old Rowan Henchy, "has lost every piece I've ever given her."
"I literally cannot do it again," she quipped to Only Natural Diamonds in an interview published June 5, adding that Grier is more passionate about jewelry craftsmanship and "understands the difference between real and 'real.'"
"It's not about the gold or diamonds alone," continued Brooke, who shares her kids with husband Chris Henchy, "she sees the history, the workmanship, the story behind the institution of these houses."
And the 60-year-old has always viewed precious gems as family heirlooms. After all, she got her first-ever diamond from mom Teri Shields, who passed away in 2012.
"My mom always said, 'Buy yourself your own diamond—don't wait to be given one from a man,'" Brooke explained. "My mom bought me my first emerald-cut diamond. It's very beautiful, and I got it set in a Verdura cuff."

In fact, she has many fond memories traveling the world with Teri, who was also a model, to buy jewelry.
"Ever since I was a little girl, every time we'd go somewhere, we'd find a jewelry store—if we were in Asia, it was pearls; if we were elsewhere, it was diamonds or brooches," Brooke recalled. "Maybe it's because she grew up in Newark during the Depression era, in poverty, and jewelry represented what she aspired to have in life."
While she acknowledges her fascination with jewelry "might sound obnoxious" to some people, the Blue Lagoon actress noted that she views her jewelry collection as more of a physical reflection of her personal evolution.
"I'm very attached to jewelry and diamonds," she added. "When you've worked hard, you're not waiting to be validated—you do something for yourself. There's a sense of empowerment in that."

Here's a silly puppet boxing game you never knew you needed
To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. I have not played a single boxing game outside of Wii Sports this century, but that could be about to change. Summer Game Fest Live brought us the reveal of Felt That: Boxing , which stars puppet pugilists. This project from the appropriately named Sans Strings Studio and Seth Green's animation company, Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, is billed as "a comedic, over-the-top boxing game set in a world where the charm of furry puppets collides with the fury of boxing." The clip is structured like a trailer for an underdog sports movie and it is just delightful. The snippets of gameplay suggest there will be training minigames that include dodging slices of burnt toast that a trainer hurls at your puppet (who is named Fuzz-E) and, uh, plunging a toilet. According to the description on the YouTube video, the developers are aiming to make the "boxing mechanics are intentionally ridiculous, favoring fun over precision, with [puppet] limbs flailing about with an insane sense of chaos." Lovely. This trailer was immediately the most interesting thing during SGF Live up to that point. Felt That: Boxing does not yet have a release window, but you can wishlist it on Steam now, like I just did.

Willie Robertson Says Mom Miss Kay's Health is Declining
Originally appeared on E! Online The Robertson family is navigating their grief journey. Less than two weeks after Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson died following a battle with Alzheimer's disease, his son Willie Robertson shared his concerns about mom Kay "Miss Kay" Robertson. "Kay is not in the best of health," Willie told USA Today in an interview published June 5. "We're trying to help her out as much as we can." "Some of it is she is just depressed," he continued. "She lost her partner of 60 years." While the 77-year-old appeared in the first episode of the Duck Dynasty: The Revival reboot, Willie said that her health struggles kept her from making any more cameos. The health update comes after her son Jase Robertson revealed that Kay—who also shares kids Jep Robertson and Alan Robertson with Phil—was "not doing good" earlier this year. "She got an infection from a fall from a cut that had happened earlier," he explained on the Unashamed with the Robertson Family podcast in April. "We were dealing with the fact that maybe this is it." More from E!

"I watched him, and knew he had figured out so many things." "Phil, I love you and already miss you," he continued. "Thank you for raising me the right way and teaching me the most important lesson to prepare me for the day you passed on." He concluded, "Sleep well Dad, can't wait to see you."

Kristin Cavallari Confesses To A Giddy Andy Cohen She Was Romantic With Craig Conover For 'Two Seconds' But Quickly Ended Things: 'I Was Already In A Love Triangle In High School'
After years of speculation, Kristin Cavallari just confirmed her past romance with Southern Charm's Craig Conover. Appearing on Wednesday night's (June 4) episode of Watch What Happens Live, Cavallari was forced to open up about her previous relations with Conover — and whether they overlapped with his relationship with Summer House star Paige DeSorbo. 'Let's talk about it,' Cavallari began. 'So, Craig and I were friends first, became romantic for two seconds. The second I caught wind of Paige, I very politely excused myself from the situation.' According to Cavallari, her romance with Conover came to an end shortly after he began seeing DeSorbo. 'There was a picture of Craig and Paige in New York. I'll never forget it. And it looked like they were sort of together,' she said. 'That was the first time anyone had seen them. That was the first I had heard about it. I saw that picture and I texted him and said, 'Hey, let's just be friends. I don't want to get in the middle of this.'' The Laguna Beach alum joked, 'I was already in a love triangle in high school. I'm good for the rest of my life. I'm never gonna be in another one. That was it.' Cavallari reconnected with Conover for the first time since then on her Let's Be Honest podcast tour, which was documented in her new E! show Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour. Their reunion came months after DeSorbo ended her three-year relationship with Conover. 'That was the first time I had seen him since they got together,' Cavallari said. 'Him and Austen [Kroll] came out. I grilled him about some stuff, too, so I'm hesitant to say too much because it's all gonna be on my show. I asked him if he lied to me about Paige. I went there. It'll all be on the show.' The reality star said she would never consider dating Conover now that he's single, telling host Andy Cohen that she only loves him 'as a friend.' She also answered whether or not she thought something happened between Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy and her ex-husband Jay Cutler. 'Yes,' Cavallari confirmed. Watch What Happens Live airs Sunday through Thursday at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
