Tennis great Andre Agassi admits in his upcoming autobiography, Open, that he used crystal meth during his career in 1997.

A Sports Illustrated employee broke the news early before the book's release on November 9th via his Twitter, but it has since been deleted:

"Book excerpt from Andre Agassi in the forthcoming SI: He admits to taking crystal meth during his career."

Agassi's rep confirmed the revelation.

We wonder if Brooke Shields knew about this? They were still married in 1997.

Shady, shady!

Apparently so, according to the actress.

It was no secret that as child stars and much into adulthood Brooke Shields and Michael Jackson were close friends. But with the passing of her friend, Brooke is taking the time out to remember the man he was and the man he could have been.

Like, he could have been her husband for instance, but she declined his offer.

She says, "There were times when he would ask me to marry him, and I would say, 'You have me for the rest of your life, you don't need to marry me, I'm going to go on and do my own life and have my own marriage and my own kids, and you'll always have me.'"

Ouch! Bet that bruised his ego!

But Brooke feels that the proposals were just to ensure that their lifelong friendship would endure and never because he had true romantic feelings towards her: "I think it made him relax. He didn't want to lose things that meant something to him."

Makes us feel kind of bad for the guy. You would have been better for him than Ms. Debbie Rowe!

Hey, any work is good work!

Brooke Shields is set to star alongside Brendan Fraser in the Summit and Participant Media production Furry Vengeance.

The film centers around a real estate agent played by Fraser who incites the mischief of a band of raccoons when he trespasses into their territory. Shields will play Fraser's character's wife.

Brooke Shields is the latest celebrity to offer her insight into Michael Jackson, whom she met when she was just 13 years old but experienced only an "asexual" relationship with.

According to Shields, they "instantly became friends" and as Jackson grew up, he became even more asexual, "like a little kid who talked about the bases - what first base was, what second base was. It sounded very odd to the outside, I can imagine, but to the inside, to someone who's never really left his bubble, you can understand how he would be curious."

The last time Shields saw Michael was in 1991, at Elizabeth Taylor's latest wedding, and Shields said that "We snuck in and took pictures of ourselves next to her dress. We always seemed to revert to being little kids."

Sweet.

The National Enquirer reporter who checked Brooke Shields' dementia-suffering mother mother out of an assisted living facility last month now wants to tell his side of the story!

Bob Hartlein claims he has been friends with Brooke's mother, Teri, for over 10 years!

The two became fast friends after Hartelin interviewed Teri about her alcohol problem back in 1999. They quickly bonded and Hartelin visited Shields at her home in New Jersey quite frequently, spending visits watching Dr. Phil and talking about classic movies.

Cute!

Bob realized what an odd pairing the two were, saying: "It was an unconventional relationship over the years between the mother of a world-famous movie star and a freelance tabloid reporter. But I always treated Teri with the same warmth, kindness and respect that I do my own mother."

Why did Brooke flip her shiz then????

Well, because he's probably not a real "friend"!

So, if you recall, Brooke Shields was planning on taking legal action a few weeks ago against the National Enquirer because the gossip rag checked her mentally ill mother out of an assisted living facility to "look for a story."

Well, Shields has come to an agreement with the folks over at the Enquirer. And she won!

The actress' attorney, Gerald B. Lefcourt, was able to persuade the tabloid to not publish a story and to issue a public apology!

If that wasn't enough, the magazine has also agreed to "make a generous donation to further research on dementia and to encourage others to do so," says Lefcourt.

Wow!

Although all is said and done, the National Enquirer's explanation of the situation a few weeks ago sang a different tune.

The mag released the following statement after the incident:

"A freelance reporter who has known Teri Shields for more than 10 years visited her Thursday at the assisted living facility where Brooke says she moved her. Teri asked the reporter to take her out to lunch and to run some errands. The freelance reporter then got permission from the facility to do so.

Interesting!

Although we're more apt to believe Brooke Shields over the National Enquirer any day of the week!

In a new interview with Health magazine, Brooke Shields revealed that didn't lose her virginity until she was 22!

Why'd the actress hold onto her V card through her late teenage years and into her 20's?

Brooke believes that "not learning to love the way [she] looked" prevented her from having sex at an earlier age.

WTF? She used to be a model!

"I think I would have had sex a lot earlier… I would have lost my virginity earlier than I did, at 22, [because] I would have been much more in touch with myself," Shields shared with the mag.

There's nothing wrong with waiting awhile to give it up!

Brooke Shields is keeping close to her mama.

After the reprehensible and terrible incident with the National Enquirer, where they practically kidnapped her mother, Brooke is understandably apprehensive about leaving her mom's side.

Shields' mother is diagnosed with dementia and living in an assisted-care facility in New Jersey.

We can't wait to see what Brooke is gonna do to those bastards!
