The Cessna 421B had touched down at a private airstrip at Hearst Castle in San Simeon, Calif., where the two celebs and others on the plane were attending a private function, says sheriff’s spokesman Rob Bryn.

What Is Brooke Shields's Secret to Being Fit?

Originally posted 07/31/2009 11:35AM

Watch out, Wonder Woman. Brooke Shields may give you a run for your money.

"I'm a closet superhero," the 44-year-old super-fit mother of two told PEOPLE with a chuckle when asked how she stays in such killer shape. Shields's real secret: She does a combination of yoga and spinning – and stays away from the dumbbells so she doesn't bulk up.

"It's not safe for me to work with weights at the moment because I just get a bit ... I respond quickly," she explained at a Manhattan launch party for the BlackBerry Tour smartphone from Sprint.

Brooke Shields Reveals Skin Cancer Scare

Originally posted 05/22/2009 04:40PM

She's got one of the most recognizable – and radiant – faces in the world. But years of sun worship caught up with Brooke Shields when she got some sobering news from her doctor recently.

"I had a spot on my face. The doctor scraped it, and it turned out to be precancerous," Shields, 43, tells PEOPLE. "I was scared."

The Lipstick Jungle actress had the spot removed and says she's doing "fine." But the cancer scare served as a wake-up call for a woman who "used to think it was the best thing in the world to be baking in the sun" and who, as a teen, would indulge in hot-weather rituals like "baby oil and tinfoil and lemon in your hair."

Friends Cite Brooke Shields's Devotion to Her Mother

Originally posted 05/21/2009 06:25AM

As a child star, Brooke Shields was always watched over by Teri Shields, a stage mom known for her tenacity. And now that her mother has been diagnosed with dementia and is living in an assisted living facility, it's Brooke who watches over Teri, say friends of the star.

"Her devotion is very apparent,” says longtime pal Anna Strasberg. "Brooke takes care of Teri. There's a bond there. It's not a public thing for show. It's very deeply personal."

When New Jersey police informed Shields, 43, that a reporter and a photographer had checked her mother out of her assisted living facility on May 14, Shields was forced to go public with a painful decision – that she had moved her mother, now 75, into the nursing home.

The teen in those oh-so-snug Calvin Klein jeans was not the confident supermodel she appeared to be on billboards in the 1980s. Instead, Brooke Shields felt a "complete detachment," the now-accomplished actress, 43, tells More magazine's May issue.
