Brooke Shields may be the model of decorum, but her mother is letting loose about her views on her star daughter in an upcoming interview, MSNBC reports.

While Teri Shields was already a controversial figure in the 1970s and '80s, she's now reprising her role with a tell-all interview in the National Enquirer. In the piece, she expresses disappointment with her daughter, their relationship and with Brooke's husband, Chris Henchy. "I wish I could see Brooke," Teri says, "but all she does is work.... But (she) always makes time to visit her friends, no matter how busy she is."

Teri also blames Henchy for his effect on Brooke's behavior. "I'm often disappointed in [Brooke]," Teri says in the interview, "like the times she snaps: 'What do you ever do for me?' That's what her husband tells her to say." Making the point further, she added, "I preferred Brooke’s first husband, Andre Agassi, over Chris."

No comment yet from the Lipstick Jungle star — but she's probably too busy with work. — Anna Dimond

Yeah, this is going to make Brooke want to talk to her mother. I don't understand how celebrity parents think going to the magazines and trying to gain sympathy from the public by talking negatively about their child will strengthen their relationship. If anything, it will drive them further apart.

Considering the National Enquirer is only worthy of lining bird cages--and that some celebrities have parents with "look at me" issues--so what?

I saw/read an article the other day about Ms. Shields. I wondered what her Mom was up to....remembering her as the Queen of all stage mothers. Now, after reading this, I know why she got that title.

And the June Cleaver award goes to...

Brooke, your doing fine. Pay no attention to the crazy whack-job backstage.

I think Teri Shields is Dina Lohan's and Lynn Spears' role model...

Considering Teri Shields whored out her daughter by allowing her to do a nude role as a child, Brooke is incredibly normal. Sounds like she's MUCH better off without Teri in the picture.
