Please, don’t everyone start yelling at me all at once. Something about the Tom Brady-Gisele Bundchen- Bridget Moynahan situation makes people start yelling (at me) immediately. I’ll have to admit, though, I love these Budget Bermuda Triangle stories. I usually find Bridget to be hilariously bitchy, I think Gisele is a sanctimonious a-hole, and I find Tom Brady to be pretty clueless and bland, and unworthy of all of the drama. Anyway, Bridget has a cover interview with More Magazine to promote her new television gig, Blue Bloods. Of course, she gets questions about her son Jack and Jack’s father Tom. Personally, I find Bridget’s comments very pointed, like she was specifically referencing certain things (Tom not being in the delivery room) while making a conscious effort to not mention other stuff. But that’s just me – I will literally read anything into anything. I live to overanalyze:

They’ve had rocky patches, but Bridget Moynahan says she and Tom Brady – along with his wife Gisele Bündchen – have managed to create a stable family for their son, 3 ½-year-old John Edward.

“I never made a comment about Gisele or Tom publicly,” Moynahan, who graces the March cover of More, tells the magazine. “I have a relationship with these people on a daily basis.”

And, she adds, that the blended family is going well. “My son has two loving parents and an extended family, whether it’s cousins or stepmothers or boyfriends. My son is surrounded by love.”

Still, Moynahan, who turns 40 in April, admits being a single mom has been tough, starting with the birth itself in 2007.

“[Tom] was not in the [delivery] room,” says Moynahan, who had already split from Brady when she discovered she was pregnant. “He was there on that day and came in afterwards. He certainly wasn’t holding my hand while I pushed.”

Relying on her parents and friends for support, she recalls “hyperventilating” with anxiety after giving birth: “Every time my dad mentioned he had to go [home to Massachusetts], I’d start crying.”

Even though she doesn’t believe “any girl grows up dreaming of being a single mom,” she also stresses, “There’s not a second I regret having a child on my own.”

A New Love
Apart from her son, another positive force in her life is her new boyfriend, Charlie’s Angels director Joseph “McG” McGinty Nichol.

Revealing they met on an airplane, Moynahan – who currently plays an almost-divorced prosecutor on the CBS series Blue Bloods alongside Tom Selleck – says McG is not only good for her, but for her son, as well.

“He’s witty, he’s smart, he’s incredibly funny, he’s got incredible taste, and he comes from a great family,” Moynahan gushes. “He’s the salt of the earth but also very successful in the crazy business that we’re in.”

And, she adds, “He and Jack have a great relationship.”

Bridget says: “I have a relationship with these people on a daily basis… My son has two loving parents and an extended family, whether it’s cousins or stepmothers or boyfriends. My son is surrounded by love.” Well… I’ll give it to Bridget, that was pretty classy. I mean, “stepmother” came after “cousin,” but still. Considering Gisele constantly refers to Jack as hers, I think this is the best we can hope for out of Bridget. But yeah… Gisele bugs the hell out of me. I can’t imagine having to deal with her all of the time, and watching her try to out-mother every single woman on the planet.

Also – while Bridget rarely makes specific comments about Gisele, like “Gisele is a sanctimonious a–hole, signed B-Moyn,” Bridget has made some other pointed comments about “irresponsible mothers” who promote motherhood as easy. Bridge even has some loyal, talkative “friends” who do her dirty work in the press, if need be. But sure… she never talks about Gisele or Tom. Of course. “PUBLICLY”

Here is Gisele Bundchen’s photo shoot for the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK. It’s rather… disappointing, isn’t it? While I agree that Gisele is at times a very unique-looking woman, I do think she’s an amazing model, and this photo shoot just seems… tired and uninspired? What do you do when you’ve got the best model in the world? You put her in black lace and put her on a rooftop. We’ve already seen the black lace thing in the September issue of Elle UK, with Emily Blunt. So I guess that’s the heads up to British ladies – dress like a lacy hooker, FYI. Boring!

Not so boring? Gisele’s new ads for Brazilian designer Colcci. Now… I think Gisele is very close to Colcci. She consistently walks the runway for the designer in Rio, and she’s the face of Colcci’s new Fall/Winter campaign. But does Colcci hate Gisele? Because the styling seems consistently strange and unflattering. In this ad, Gisele looks like she’s covered in grease, and her beautiful hair is atrocious.

Why would you do this to her? Ugh.

By the way, I can’t find any excerpts from Gisele’s Harper’s interview yet, but I have high hopes that she mentions something about Bridget Moynahan. So far, Gisele hasn’t said anything about the rather pointed comments Bridget made regarding “irresponsible” people in the media who portray motherhood and childbirth as “painless”. Also, in another recent interview, Bridget said, “No matter what’s been thrown at me in the past couple of years, I try to find the positive. It’s easy to bitch and to listen to your people bitch, so if someone going through a divorce asks me for advice, I say, ‘All the he said/she said stuff doesn’t matter. And your kid will pick up on that energy. Keep your kids the focus.’” Easier said than done, Bridge.

Bridget Moynahan has a new interview in Self Magazine, and she is still sniping, of course. But Bridget keeps it oblique, and that’s why we love her. Some are interpreting Bridget’s interview as rather pointed comments about Gisele’s happy-happy talk about childbirth and motherhood, like when Gisele talked about how easy natural childbirth was, or how quickly she lost her baby weight because she didn’t “turn into a garbage disposal” like most pregnant women. Boston.com draws out Bridget’s inner bitch:

Talking to the media is not Bridget Moynahan’s favorite activity. Invariably, the actress is asked about her 3-year-old son, John, with former boyfriend Tom Brady, and, of course, the QB’s subsequent marriage to statuesque supermodel Gisele Bundchen. If she can help it, Moynahan usually remains mum. But because the 39-year-old Longmeadow lass has a couple of new projects to promote — the movie “Ramona and Beezus,’’ due out July 23, and next fall’s TV show “Blue Bloods’’ — she’s opening up a little more. In the new issue of Self magazine, Moynahan talks about life after No. 12 and even takes a few swipes at Brady’s bride.

“Being a mom, whether single or not, is not easy! Certain individuals and the press present motherhood as if it’s easy or painless, and that’s irresponsible,’’ Moynahan says, perhaps referring to Bundchen’s drug-free water birth. “Girls see pictures in magazines of mothers with fancy baby bags and think it looks glamorous, and that’s not necessarily the case. I’m not complaining about anything in my life — it’s fantastic. My son is so well adjusted. He has two parents who live in different homes, and that’s what he knows. Having a child didn’t hold me back from a career or a love life or traveling; it has enhanced my life.’’

That said, it’s clear Moynahan would prefer not to be the subject of so much tabloid attention. She implies that perhaps Brady and Bundchen don’t share her low opinion of the pesky paparazzi.

“The paparazzi are intrusive, offensive, and aggressive. It’s not something that I respect or, quite frankly, deserve,’’ she says. “I don’t search it out. I lead a quiet life. I don’t go out as much as I’d like because I don’t want my son to be involved in that. We do things privately, like reading Dr. Seuss, playing games, and listening to music. That’s why you haven’t seen many photos of us. I don’t need to parade him around. I want to raise him with a strong sense of self and integrity. He’ll learn from his mistakes. I’m not a believer in encouraging bad behavior or sweeping it under the rug. It better be out on the table.’’

So how does she cope?

“No matter what’s been thrown at me in the past couple of years, I try to find the positive. There are a thousand magazines that like the negative. It’s easy to [complain] and to listen to your people [complain], so if someone going through a divorce asks me for advice, I say, ‘All the he said/she said stuff doesn’t matter. And your kid will pick up on that energy. Keep your kids the focus,’ ’’ she says. “When [my life] was in the news or when challenging things arose while trying to work things out with another person, my attitude was to take the high road. My drama isn’t different from anybody else’s, except people get to see it.’’

Bridget said a career and motherhood have not diminished her desire for a satisfying romantic life, but her priorities have changed.

“I do look at men differently now,’’ she says. “There’s a whole category that isn’t in the running: somebody who doesn’t want a family. And, while I’d love to have more children, I’m not sure I want another on my own. One is portable; two are not. Anyone I date is going to have an open heart.’’

Going forward? Moynahan says she is ready for anything.

“I’m in the same shape now I was prior to having a baby. I mean, there are little scars, battle wounds from giving birth, for sure, but I’m back to my fighting weight,’’ she says. “It was a combination of wanting to be strong, fit, and healthy and enjoying the stress release. If you are physically well, it feeds your mental and emotional state, and your child senses it. My son eats whatever I’m eating, so it’s a sit-down dinner with protein and vegetables. I don’t want him to snack between meals, so I don’t. I do indulge sometimes. I’m a salty girl — potato chips or truffle fries and a martini. But for the most part, I live a very healthy life. I’m not going to sit and eat fried Twinkies!’’

[From Boston.com]

I see her point, and I like her restraint in not naming names, even though we pretty much know who she’s talking about. And yet – what does it say about Bridget that she’s still concerned about what Gisele is and is not doing or saying about motherhood?

Anyway, these are photos of Tom, Gisele and baby Ben going out for a doctor’s check-up yesterday. Ben is a little cutie – either his face has a lot of character, or he’s just gassy. What am I saying? If Ben had to use the potty, I’m sure he would have already told his mother and walked over to the toilet and gone. And what’s up with Tom’s hair? This isn’t the first time I’ve seen Tom Brady’s new hair style, but this is seriously that longest I’ve ever seen it. It seems like Tom is taking style tips from Justin Bieber, right? Long bangs, side-swept, dare I say, some girlish fringe. Some men can pull that hair off – I’m thinking Daniel Craig in Munich. Tom Brady and Justin Bieber? Not so much. Get a haircut, hippie.

As you may have heard, Gisele Bundchen gave birth Tuesday night to a baby boy. Her mom and her twin sister were there too, so that’s nice. Gisele and Tom Brady haven’t released the name of their son yet, because they didn’t have any names picked out. Tom admitted as much to the press, saying, “I don’t have any picks, so we haven’t really chosen one yet. But everyone is great. Everyone is doing really well.” But… I thought Tom already knew they were having a boy? Didn’t he have a few names that he was thinking of? I still don’t get it. In addition to Tom‘s musings, a source also told People Magazine: “Gisele is absolutely thrilled. Why shouldn’t she be? She has a beautiful healthy boy! She wants a big family like the one she came from and now is her time. That’s what she’s always wanted most.” I don’t get why this source had to remain unnamed for that comment, it sounds like the kind of innocuous comment that you could easily put your name on. Anyway, that’s not the point of the story.

After Tom spoke to the press, his ex-girlfriend (and mother of his first child, 2-year-old Jack) Bridget Moynahan gave her statement to the press. Was it a brief, courteous “congratulations to the happy family”? Not exactly. I’ll tell you the truth, when I first read this, I thought “what’s lodged up Bridget’s ass?” But now that I’ve re-read it a few times, maybe it’s not that bad:

Now that Tom Brady is a father for the second time, his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, the mother of his 2-year-old Jack, is offering her congratulations.

“I wish [Tom and Gisele] the best with their baby,” the actress, 38, tells PEOPLE in a statement. “I’m sure my son will enjoy having a half-sibling. I ask the press to respect our privacy while we are welcoming this new addition to our extended family.”

Bündchen, sources say, is currently recovering with her mother Vania and sister Patricia by her side, after delivering the baby boy Tuesday night.

Brady said on Wednesday that the couple have not yet picked a name for their newborn son.

[From People]

It’s curt, right? Like “okay, whatever, congratulations, now leave me alone.” Were people calling Bridget all day asking for her reaction? Is that why she added the “I ask the press to respect our privacy” bit? Because if journalists were calling her all day, maybe I can understand that. But I still think it might have been classier to issue a one sentence quickie congrats, something like, “I am very happy for Tom and Gisele and their new baby, Mazel Tov!” That’s what I would have done.

A few weeks ago, Star Magazine reported a funny (and probably false) story that Bridget Moynahan bought a passive-aggressive baby gift for Gisele Bundchen. The crux of the story was that Bridget didn’t want to shell out a lot of cash for Gisele, so she went into a baby store and bought a $20 outfit and complained about it to whoever would listen. Bridget and Gisele’s history is long and sordid, suffice to say that I get the impression that Gisele is a very effusive woman, even with people who can’t stand her, and Bridget can hold a grudge like nobody’s business.

It looks like things are turning around for Gisele and Bridget though – according to a new report from Star. They claim Bridget is giving Gisele “mothering advice” as the two women “gabbed for more than three hours” at Bridget’s home:

Gisele Bundchen is getting mothering advice from the unlikeliest of people: her husband’s ex!

Bridget Moynahan has put any bitterness aside to help Tom Brady’s new lady enter the world of mommy hood. The two women gabbed for more than three hours at Bridget’s Pacific Palisades, California home on July 2.

“Gisele had been reaching out to Bridget for some time now, with little success,” an insider tells Star. “But Bridget finally realized it was time to set aside their differences for the sake of the kids.”

The power to forgive is important in a mom!

[From Star Magazine, print edition, August 10, 2009]

I’d argue that the power to forgive is important for everyone, not just mothers, but whatever. I kind of hope this story is true, even if it means there will be no more Gisele versus Bridget tabloid stories. It shows both women are very mature, which I kind of suspect anyway. I really wonder what they were talking about – breastfeeding? Nannies? Binkies? Or Tom’s penis size?

It’s no secret that there is absolutely no love lost between Bridget Moynahan and Gisele Bundchen. We can fight about who left, who got pregnant and for what purpose, sketchy timelines, all of it. But at the end of the day, here’s what we know: Tom Brady and Bridget share a son, John, now 2 years old. Fact: Gisele is pregnant with her first child, with Tom Brady. Fact: Gisele is a little too effusive when describing her relationship with baby John. Fact: Gisele has referred to John as “my child” and has called herself John’s “adoptive mother”. Here’s what else we know: Bridget’s friends run to the press with lots of bitchy comments. Stuff like Gisele is “desperate for attention” and “discretion and respect are not either of Gisele or Tom’s virtues”.

So perhaps it was never going to be one big happy family. But they’re trying, y’all! Bridget is attempting to passively-aggressively bury the hatchet now that Gisele is knocked up – by buying Gisele’s unborn child a $20 outfit:

“What do you buy your ex’s pregnant new wife?” Bridget Moynahan quipped at Wonderland baby store in Brentwood, CA on July 2.

The actress – whose former squeeze Tom Brady is expecting a little one with his new missus, supermodel Gisele Bundchen – said she didn’t want to spend much on a gift.

“Bridget settled on a neutral-colored outfit that cost around $20,” a source tells Star. “But she acted like even that was too much!”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, July 27 2009]

Haha, Bridget is so cold! It would have been awesome if Bridget just gave Gisele one of John’s old binkies. Bridget would have arched her eyebrow and quipped with a straight face, “Suck on that, Gisele.” No, in all honesty, I get it. I wouldn’t blame Bridget if she didn’t want to get Gisele and Tom anything for the new baby. But going the cheap route is pretty funny. Perhaps Bridget let John barf on the outfit before she gift-wrapped it.

I was really looking forward to reporting on the rumors of Gisele Bundchen’s pregnancy, but alas, Gisele’s husband Tom Brady denied the pregnancy rumors Thursday night after a practice session with the New England Patriots. Apparently an Associated Press journalist waltzed right up to Tom and was all “So, dude, is your wife knocked up?” And Tom was all “No.” And then Tom added, “One is enough.” Ouch. Take that Gisele, with your biological clock and stuff.

Unfortunately for Tom “One Is Enough” Brady, many gossipy sources have Gisele coming to the end of her first trimester. Which would have meant that she was already pregnant before she and Tom Brady married in April… which I don’t buy. I think Gisele is traditional in the way that she would wait to get pregnant until after she gets married Just my opinion. So, by my rationale, Gisele is at most two months pregnant, if that. In which case it would be silly for Gisele or Tom to confirm the pregnancy – traditionally, you don’t announce until the end of third month, or into the fourth.

So let’s play the game – say Tom was just denying the pregnancy for the hell of it, but Gisele really was less than two months pregnant. If that was/is the case, then this report from In Touch is really juicy. Not only do they have Gisele’s pregnancy cravings (pizza), they have a really bitchy quote from an unnamed friend of Bridget Moynahan. Apparently, it’s totally a catfight over everything between Bridget and Gisele – ever since Gisele called Bridget’s son “my child” and Bridget sent all of her friends out to bash Gisele. Now Bridget’s getting nasty about how Tom isn’t man enough to tell her about Gisele’s pregnancy face-to-face or something:

Gisele Bundchen has gotten plenty of practice with her husband Tom Brady’s son, John, but she’ll soon become a mom for real!

The supermodel and the New England quarterback told their families that they are expecting their first child together.

“Gisele is about three months along and over the moon about it because this is all she’s ever wanted,” says a family insider.

“Tom is equally happy and making sure she has anything she needs. She’s been craving pizza and eating it like crazy. They haven’t decided if they’re going to find out the sex but don’t care either way. Everyone is so happy about it.”

But they didn’t exactly break the news the right way to Bridget Moynahan, Tom’s ex-girlfriend and the mother of his 21-month-old son.

“Bridget found out about Gisele’s pregnancy through someone else,” says a friend of the actress’. “Any man not willing to make a call to tell an ex that his current wife is pregnant is not right.”

But no one is going to take away the 28-year-old Brazilian beauty’s happiness.

“I would like a big family. I love children,” Gisele, who wed Tom in February, has said. “This is why you get married – you want to create those roots together. You want to give that to your kids.”

[From In Touch, print edition, June 9 2009]

“Any man not willing to make a call to tell an ex that his current wife is pregnant is not right.” Uh… maybe that didn’t come straight from Bridget, maybe it did. But am I alone in thinking that if and when Gisele does get pregnant, it’s none of Bridget’s business? Yes, it will affect Bridget in as much as she lets her son spend time with his father and his father’s wife, but Bridget doesn’t get a say or any kind of first notification on the state of Gisele’s womb.

On Monday, Vanity Fair released an interview with model Gisele Bundchen that was fairly explosive. Bundchen didn’t seem capable of censoring herself or using the slightest bit of tact or discretion. In it, she said her baby stepson (the child of her husband Tom Brady and his ex-girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan) is 100 percent her own, amongst other shockingly insensitive claims.

In Vanity Fair, Bundchen not only said John was “100 percent her child,” she added: “It’s not like because somebody else delivered him, that’s not my child. I love him the same way as if he were mine. I already feel like he’s my son, from the first day . . . He’s my little angel — the sweetest, most cuddly, loving baby. I feel blessed to have him in my life. I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that. But to me, it’s not like because somebody else delivered him, that’s not my child — I feel it is, 100 percent.”

[From Page Six]

Bridget hasn’t dignified Giselle’s statements with a response, but her friends say she’s furious at the model’s audacious presumptuousness.

BRIDGET Moynahan is furious with Gisele Bundchen after Bundchen boldly bragged to Vanity Fair about being mommy to Moynahan and Tom Brady’s son, John. But while Moynahan is taking the high road and keeping quiet, her friends are not.

One close pal told Page Six, “If Gisele loved Bridget’s child like he was ’100 percent her own,’ then she would not talk about him in the press. Discretion and respect are not either of Gisele or Tom’s virtues, as was evidenced even when the child was still unborn and they publicly flaunted their relationship without any discretion whatsoever.”

Brady and Moynahan broke up before the “Lord of War” star learned she was pregnant and he began dating Bundchen. Moynahan gave birth to John on Aug. 22, 2007.

Moynahan’s friend continued: “Don’t you think Jack will grow up and read her comments and find them disrespectful to him and his mother? If Tom is such a great father as everyone likes to say, then you would think that he’d respect the privacy of his young child and would ask his wife not to use his son as a publicity prop and a subject of public discussion. Is she is so desperate for attention that she can’t find anything more productive to talk about other than Bridget’s child?”

Moynahan’s friend also quipped, “Hey Gisele — real mothers don’t call their kids ‘it.’” Moynahan’s rep declined to comment.

[From Page Six]

A lot of people responded to the original story by saying Gisele was just trying to show how much she loves John and that she doesn’t consider him less important to her for being a stepson instead of her biological child. I think her language is too strong and emphatic for that.

The 100 percent her child thing is just way over the line, mostly because it’s absolutely untrue. John is 100 percent Bridget and Tom’s child. And frankly, that must be a little painful for a newlywed. There is this beautiful, happy baby boy in her life, and he belongs to her husband and his ex-girlfriend. Perhaps Gisele copes with it by trying to maximize her own relationship with John. But in so doing, she also dramatically minimized Bridget.

Here’s Bridget Moynahan taking John Edward for a walk in Pacific Palisades last Thursday. Images thanks to Pacific Coast News.

Is Gisele Bundchen so beautiful that no one ever corrects her? She gave an interview to Vanity Fair, and OK! Magazine has some early quotes. They are not flattering. Gisele says that she loves John Edward Thomas Moynahan – Tom Brady’s love child with Bridget Moynahan – “as if he were mine.” She also calls John “my child” and mentions that she “already [felt] like he’s my son, from the first day.” Yikes.

Back in late 2006, Tom Brady pretty much dumped his newly pregnant girlfriend (Bridget) when Gisele came along, and by many accounts, there was some overlap in the two relationships. Part of the problem is that I have always felt really bad for Bridget throughout this whole situation. She’s a beautiful, classy woman, and I think she’s done the best she could with a really uncomfortable situation. OK! has more from Gisele:

Now that Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady have tied the knot, it seems the supermodel is more than ready to stake her claim on his love child with ex Bridget Moynahan.

The newlywed says she feels that John Edward Moynahan is hers, telling Vanity Fair, “I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that. But to me, it’s not like because somebody else delivered him, that’s not my child – I feel it is, 100 percent.”

Bridget gave birth to John in 2007 (and appeared on the cover of OK!) and by then her former boyfriend, Patriots quarterback Tom, had moved on to Gisele’s loving arms. She’s never met the Brazilian beauty.

“I want him to have a great relationship with his mom, because that’s important, but I love him the same way as if he were mine. I already feel like he’s my son, from the first day,” Gisele reveals in the interview.

“He’s a little angel – the sweetest, most cuddly, loving baby. I feel blessed to have him in my life,” she adds.

That little angel was a shock at first for Gisele, who had been dating Tom before they found out his ex was expecting.

“It was definitely a surprise for both of us,” she says. “In the beginning, you’re living this romantic fantasy; you’re thinking this can’t be true, it’s so good! And then, whoops – wake-up call!”

Your move, Bridget!

[From OK! Magazine]

Yeah, I’m sure it was a huge “wake-up call” for Gisele that she was dating a man who just unceremoniously dumped his girlfriend. So, how much of this is being taken out of context? I actually understand what Gisele is basically trying to say – that she has a great, loving relationship with her stepson. But the way she says it seems like she’s trying to out-mother Bridget. It’s all very The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, with Gisele cast in the Rebecca DeMornay role.

Here’s Gisele and Tom spending time with her family on their honeymoon in Brazil on March 15th. Images thanks to WENN .

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, arguably the most famous player in NFL football, is out for the entire year after tearing the ACL in his left knee in the first game of the season. Bad luck, right? Did anyone check if his ex, actress Bridget Moynahan, has a Brady voodoo doll with a pin through the knee?

According to In Touch, Bridget may try not to publicly badmouth Brady, but that’s not the case with the sport he plays.

To recap: Brady and Bridget dated for 3 years, but broke up late in 2006. Shortly after, Bridget confirmed she was pregnant with Tom’s baby and Tom went public with his relationship with Giselle Bundchen, arguably the most famous supermodel in the world. Bridget gave birth to a baby boy named John Edward Thomas Moynahan on August 22, 2007.

At the time, there was talk that Bridget was bitter because she gave her son her surname with no reference to “Brady,” but Tom’s full name is Thomas Edward Brady Jr., so apparently she just switched his first and middle name around.

Recent pictures showed Tom, Gisele and John playing in the park, and Tom has reportedly bought property in Brentwood, California, to be closer to where Bridget is raising their son, so it appears that all the adults in John’s life are at least trying to be civil for the baby’s sake.

However, don’t expect Bridget and John to spend Sundays watching Daddy play football. Bridg et Moynahan hates football, and she’s not shy about saying so.

Out of respect for the child they share, Bridget Moynahan keeps quiet about her feelings for her ex, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, but she can’t hide her disdain for his sport. Bridget, 37, was shopping at Tales & Toys in Venice, Calif., on September 14 with a friend and her 13-month-old son, John. “One of the sales clerks jokingly asked, ‘So, you ladies aren’t watching Sunday football?’” an insider recounts to In Touch. “Bridget looked disgusted and replied, ‘We hate football.’”

[From In Touch, print edition, October 6, 2008]

Unless the clerk didn’t recognize Bridget, it’s sort of a bitchy question to ask her, which may explain Bridget’s response.

Once Bridget starts dating and working again, she may be less passive-aggressive. Or she may enroll John in ballet class rather than pee-wee football. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Bridget is scheduled to make a guest appearance on Eli Stone this season.
