‘Excuse me': Brooke Shields unleashes on ‘precious' Meghan Markle after ‘rude' encounter on South by Southwest panel
Model and actress Brooke Shields has spoken out about the viral moment she dared to interrupt Meghan Markle during an awkward onstage encounter. The Duchess of Sussex and the Blue Lagoon star were both tapped to sit on a panel marking International Woman's Day at the prestigious South by Southwest Festival last year. During the appearance, Markle referenced the time she wrote a letter to Procter and Gamble as a child asking them to gender-neutralise a dishwashing soap commercial. The story has been repeated multiple times, including during Meghan Markle's Vanity Fair cover story she negotiated after she began dating Prince Harry. In a twist, Vanity Fair later deleted the anecdote from their piece after the magazine's fact checkers were unable to substantiate Markle's version of events. Shields, 60, opened up about her decision to cut off Markle's favourite story during a podcast interview hosted by King Charles' goddaughter India Hicks. 'Meghan said, 'I didn't think only women wash dishes,'' Shields recalled. 'It wasn't fair. So I wrote to the company. And when I was 11, I wrote my first letter and when I was 11...' and she kept saying she was 11!" The entertainment industry veteran sensed that Markle's oft-repeated story about writing letters to a detergent company was hardly riveting for the audience. "It was just too precious," Shields explained to as to why she decided to chime in. "And I was like, they're not going to want to sit here for 45 minutes and listen to anybody be precious or serious.' The Endless Love star explained that she did not intend to be 'rude' to the ex-working royal but wanted to lighten the mood after Markle's earnest story. "Excuse me, I'm so sorry. I've got to interrupt you there for one minute,' she said. "I was trying not to be rude, but I wanted to be funny because it was so serious. "I just want to give everybody here a context as to how we're different," she told the crowd.' The actress then pointed out to Markle how when she was the same age she was playing a prostitute - referring to her controversial role in the 1978 film, Pretty Baby - which drew immediate laughter from the audience. "The place went insane. And then luckily, it was more relaxed after that," Shields said.

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.'

Blue Lagoon Resources to Participate in Canada's Premier Mining Investor Conference in Quebec City
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 29, 2025) - Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. (CSE: BLLG) (FSE: 7BL) (OTCQB: BLAGF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that President & CEO Rana Vig will be attending and presenting at The Mining Investment Event of the North, Canada's premier mining investment conference, taking place June 3-5, 2025, in Québec City. Mr. Vig will meet with institutional investors, fund managers, and analysts from across North America and abroad to present the Company's progress toward gold production that is expected to commence this summer at its high-grade Dome Mountain Gold Project, featuring an average grade of 9 grams per tonne (g/t) and located in one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world, just outside Smithers, British Columbia. "With Dome Mountain fully permitted and scheduled to begin production this summer, we are entering an exciting phase of growth," said Mr. Vig. "We're one of the few junior gold companies positioned to generate near-term cash flow in a rising gold market, while offering significant long-term upside through exploration." The three-day event brings together a curated group of emerging and established mining companies for targeted one-on-one meetings and panel discussions with leading investors and industry experts. Participation supports Blue Lagoon's strategy to actively expand its investor base and raise awareness of its uniquely positioned project. About Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. Blue Lagoon Resources is a Canadian based publicly listed mining company (CSE: BLLG) (FSE: 7BL) (OTCQB: BLAGF) focused on building shareholder value through the aggressive development of its 100% owned Dome Mountain Gold project. The Company is run by professionals with significant finance and mining experience and operates within a prime mining jurisdiction in British Columbia, Canada. With the granting of a full mining permit, a key milestone achieved in February 2025 - one of only nine such permits issued in British Columbia since 2015 - Blue Lagoon is now focused on last preparatory activities and tasks related to the safe and secure opening of the Dome Mountain Gold Mine, targeting Q3 2025 as the start of gold production. The Company's primary objective has always been to become a cash-flowing mining company, to ultimately deliver tangible monetary value to shareholders, state, and local communities. The Company is not basing its production decision at Dome Mountain on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. The production decision is based on having existing mining infrastructure, past bulk sampling and processing activity, and the established mineral resource. The Company understands that there is increased uncertainty, and consequently a higher risk of failure, when production is undertaken in advance of a feasibility study.
