VW Routan Minivan Spokesmother Brooke Shields

Brooke Shields who, at age 12, rose to stardom as a child prostitute in the 1978 movie Pretty Baby then became a teen heart throb in The Blue Lagoon and went on to more movie and TV hits like Suddenly Susan will be the spokesperson for Volkswagen's Routan minivan.

She's a wonderful person who I first met in 1984 when she had a summer internship at the San Diego Zoo and I was a TV sportscaster on KGTV. Brooke introduced me to her current husband Chris Henchy in 2001 on her birthday flying to San Francisco when she was heading to be a celebrity spokesperson at a national fund raiser for ALS or Lou Gehring's disease.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s name can be linked to a lot of things, a football ace, prolific football awardee, women he has dated but for me he has one thing that i really, really like about him – he has some of the world’s most exclusive cars… and i know he can be a good boyfriend because he will give you a car. Remember Nereida Gallardo’s Mercedes? I wonder where is it now, maybe that’s the only remembrance that CR7 has left Nereida.

At least she gets to ride still.
