Gisele Bundchen – the supermodel who, in my opinion doesn’t hold a candle to Heidi Klum – is half naked in GQ magazine. Gisele has been on the arm of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for quite awhile now and has finally solved the mystery of his love for football. During her interview with the magazine she touches base on her relationships, money and sticking her finger down her throat for the sake of being skinny.

Her thoughts on first meeting Brady and being introduced to football:
Look, I’m Brazilian. I had never seen football before. I’m freezing, and all I’m thinking is, When can I go back to New York City? I didn’t understand why they were all hitting each other. Now I do, but I didn’t.

Her money issues…

Do you think [salary]’s important to me? Look, this is my job. I take pictures. There is no big deal. I would like to know who this reporter is finding out all of these amounts. And I would like him to talk to my accountant and figure out where is the cash that’s missing. Because I haven’t seen it.

[NY Magazine]

This is refreshing. I wonder if he had to use Barbie and Ken dolls to explain the game. Regardless, Tom has become more and more mainstream and a bigger target for the press. He embodies the typical high school quarterback with good looks and a bit of charm. Brady even dabbles in modeling now.

You would hope the modeling side of Gisele’s story would be seedy, but Janice Dickinson will have to suffice. Bundchen denies the lure of desperate measures to stay thin in a body image industry that demands perfection. Eating disorders is a subject she rather not chat about.

I don’t think it’s something that people go around talking about. I do think what saved me is that I’ve been very athletic since I was very young. I think your body has muscle memory.

[NY Magazine]

So this bitch is gorgeous, rich, thin and has a “perfect boyfriend.” Yes. I am bitter. I am also a Bears fan, so sorry Gisele. Heidi is still the shiz.

Since her breakup with New England Patriot Tom Brady and her decision to have his child post-breakup, actress Bridget Moynahan has kept pretty quiet about the details of her life as a single mom- until now. In her new interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Moynahan gives us some insight into how she really felt about being pregnant alone while her ex was frolicking with Gisele Bundchen. I’ll give you a hint: it sucked!

The first thing Bridget Moynahan did when she returned home from the hospital last August with her newborn son, John, was cry. Uncontrollably.

She had dated Brady for three years, but in February 2007 she found herself in a complicated situation. She was three months pregnant with his child but no longer in a relationship with him. Though she says, “There’s no reason why my son years down the line would need to read anything [personal] about his mother or his father,” it’s common knowledge that Brady has since moved on with Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, 27. Meanwhile, Moynahan is raising her son alone (though Brady does spend time with Jack).

“When you’re suddenly pregnant and no one is standing by your side, even if you’re in your 30s, it’s a hard conversation. I’m a traditional girl, and I believe in marriage, and I just always thought that’s the way I’d be doing this,” she says. “For a moment, it was hard for me to accept that this was the way I was going to have a family.”

She gave birth to John – whom she gave her last name – last August. “I walk in and just started sobbing,” she says of coming home alone with her son. “All of a sudden, you have this newborn you have no training for. It’s frightening.”

But having family and friends like I, Robot costar Will Smith rally around her, made it easier. “I got so much out of that,” she says of that “traumatic time of being heartbroken” and pregnant. “It’s golden and it’s tough and it was f—ed up. But now I have a child, and it’s the best thing in the world.”

[From Harper's online]

As a single mom, I know that sometimes, when you are worn down and doing everything yourself, you do get resentful of the absentee father, who skipped out on all the hard parts of being a parent. It doesn’t seem fair sometimes. I have a lot of respect for Bridget. It would be easy for her to trash Tom Brady in the media, and she refuses to do so for her son’s sake. It’s too bad other celebs can’t show the same restraint for their children’s benefit. Some day, little John (who looks exactly like his dad, by the way) is going to be old enough to ask questions about the situation between his parents, and his mom will have the benefit of being able to tell him the truth without a bunch of old media clipping haunting her.

On Tuesday, the New York Giants and the New England Patriots arrived to a complete media circus in Arizona, where they will face off this weekend for the Super Bowl. During a press conference, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was fielding and deflecting the usual questions about strategy and his possible ankle injury. Out of the blue, a young woman clad in a wedding dress and veil shouted out a marriage proposal to the flabbergasted star athlete:

Early into Brady’s question-and-answer session, TV Azteca reporter Inés Gómez Mont asked the star quarterback to marry her. Did we mention she was wearing a wedding dress?

“Tom, I’m in love with you!” she howled. “Will you marry me please?”

Brady deflected the proposal about as deftly as he has dodged inquiries about his injured ankle.

And he blushed, just a little.

“Are you really? Wow. I’ve never had a proposal,” Brady said, fumbling for the right words. “What’s your name first?”

[From Arizona Star Daily]

The wannabe bride was actually quite attractive, although probably either a little crazy or a bit desperate for some publicity. Tom gave her his best ‘aw shucks’ grin, and told her he was already taken. “I’m a one-woman man,” he said. Gomez-Mont responded by saying that she was the “Real Mrs. Brady,” to which Tom said, “There have been a few Miss Brady’s in my life,” and then moved on to the next question. The jilted bride later told reporters that she came to the press conference in the wedding gown, which was quite short and showed lacy white garter stockings underneath, “just in case he said yes.”

Brady dated and has a child with model/actress Bridget Moynahan, and is currently involved with Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen. It has been rumored that a Championship ring for Brady could mean an engagement ring for Bündchen. Sorry, Inez.

Note by Celebitchy: Here’s the video, thanks to Shawn for sending it. It only shows Brady’s response and unfortunately we just hear Inez. I have a newfound respect for Brady after seeing how he handled this. What a gentleman he is!

Everyone wants a piece of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Handsome Brady has upped his star factor with a high-profile relationship with top paid supermodel, Gisele Bundchen, and by fathering a baby with ex girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan. Now it’s said that Jennifer Aniston has personally chosen Brady to represent SmartWater, a brand she appeared in advertisements for and is now an investor in the company.

Jennifer Aniston has chosen American football star Tom Brady as the male face of energy drink SmartWater. The former Friends star was recently photographed by Mario Testino for a SmartWater advertising campaign.

And Aniston, an investor in the company, now wants the New England Patriots quarterback, who is dating supermodel Gisele Bundchen, to do the same.

An insider tells American magazine OK!, “Not only does she think he can sell water, but he makes her want to take a cold shower!”

And football-fit Brady might be stripping down to his skivvies for Calvin Klein underwear. They’re said to have offered him a more than one million dollar deal to represent the company:

Tom, 30, who’s posed for Stetson Cologne before, is being wooed to become the next celebrity model for Calvin Klein underwear. He’s been offered more than $1 million for the ad campaign, says an insider.

[From In Touch magazine, print edition, November 19, 2007]

Brady doesn’t need the money, although it will probably come in handy considering that his girlfriend has expensive taste. Although he’s paid less than other top quarterbacks, he signed a six year extension with the Patriots in 2005 that’s worth about $60 million.

Brady is shown running in NY on the West Side Highway on 9/2/07. Thanks to Splash News for these pictures.

New dad and NFL star Tom Brady and his girlfriend, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, may be on the outs. The two were seen having a public spat in NY over lunch, with Gisele walking out, looking pissed.

The pair were dining at Extra Virgin in New York City when things turned sour on October 8. “She was clearly more upset than he was,” says an eyewitness. “She got up from the table and stormed out, leaving him sitting there.”

[From In Touch, print edition, November 5, 2007]

Along with that argument, there’s more evidence that Bundchen is upset with Brady. She is said to be livid over the fact that he sent flowers to his ex girlfriend and the mother of his baby, Bridget Moynahan. Bundchen is even said to have called Brady a “wuss” over the incident and to have postponed their planned wedding:

The couple’s relationship has been strained since the New England Patriots quarterback began having a “sudden attack of conscience” about breaking up with former girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, who gave birth to his son, John, in August, say sources.

Gisele berated Tom for his concern about Bridget, calling him a “wuss!”

“First, Tom told Gisele that he was upset about Bridget doing an interview about having their child because she didn’t tell him about it. Then, Gisele discovered that Tom sent Bridget flowers congratulating her on the article! a close source told The Enquirer…

Since the indicent, Gisele, 27, has been furious with 30-year-old Tom.

The two have put their plans for a winter wedding in Rome on hold, says the source.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, November 5, 2007]

The article goes on to talk about the same “screaming match” that In Touch reported, citing Gawker as the source.

The Enquirer mentioned that Tom sent Bridget flowers after the OK! article, and it may have been as a thank you to her. Bridget didn’t do an interview with OK! and just agreed to pose for pictures. Maybe Tom was grateful for that, and sent her the flowers because he was relieved she didn’t dish any dirt on him.

Gisele Bundchen is not know for being a super nice person, and maybe some of the luster has gone out of her relationship with Tom. Now that the dust is settling, he might be realizing that he had a pretty good thing with the mother of his child and that he gave it up for another gorgeous woman with a less gracious personality.

Header picture is an older one of Tom and Gisele together.

Update: We were wrong about Gisele’s personality, according to one anonymous tipster. She said that if we wanted to pick on someone we should chose Madonna, because she is definitely full of shit, but Gisele is super nice:

Just wanted to know where you get your info…I read an article where you stated Giselle is not known to be a nice person. i have worked with her, numerous times, and everyone LOVES her. She is super nice, down to earth, doesn’t act like a model and talks to everybody.

The bitchiest person, is Madonna…even though she trumphets [sic] BS PR about how wonderful she is.

Sorry Gisele! We’re just jealous that you’re so gorgeous and that your boyfriend is awesome. We are striving not to talk smack about people who don’t deserve it, and it seems like you definitely don’t. You also dated Leonardo DiCaprio, which makes us extra catty.

Tom Brady’s got a lot of complications in his life right now. His baby mama hates him (we assume). His model girlfriend is also a model bitch (we assume… just from general reports about her character over the last several years). He lives and plays football in Boston, but his new baby lives and eats his own feet in Los Angeles. What’s a man to do? Complain about it to People, all while showing the world that you’re rallying, and also a really great father, even if it is from 3,000 miles away.

“Three weeks into fatherhood and two weeks into football season, Tom Brady has a personal problem to tackle: balancing his schedule between playing with the New England Patriots and seeing his infant son, who is home in Los Angeles with his mom, Bridget Moynahan. ‘I kind of cuddled him like a football,’ the 6’4″ triple Super-Bowl-winning quarterback, 30, tells the new issue of Sports Illustrated about John Edward Thomas Moynahan, who was born Aug. 22.

“‘I’d love to be out there all the time, year-round, but it’s hard to make that a reality,’ the Boston-based Brady says about L.A., where the baby’s mom (and Brady’s ex-girlfriend) lives and works. ‘I live here,’ explains the athlete. ‘But I’ll start lobbying for off days throughout the year.’

“And while SI columnist Rick Reilly harps on Brady’s hunky good looks that make him such a babe magnet (who just happens to be dating the $33-million-a-year Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen), the quarterback does confess to the magazine, ‘I was the little sports nerd in high school who hardly had a girlfriend!’”

[From People]

Um, Tom Brady? If you really loved your kid, you’d move to Los Angeles. They have a great team, the Los Angeles Avengers. Never head of them? Me either, but I think that if you really love your kid, you’ll leave the all mighty Patriots and play for them. Let’s see if Gisele sticks around then. I kid, I kid about the moving. I don’t know a thing about the football, or the sports in general – I’m a writer, pasty is my religion. I believe I once heard it involves the skin of pigs, which sounds faintly cult-esq and ritualistic. But I know that Mondays are your high holy days, and your Christmas is some day in February that you think is really super, and you play your game in a giant bowl. If I’m even half right, it’s probably a good thing you’re not around your kid a lot.

It’s kind of hard to figure out the exact time line of Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady’s relationship. It seems to come down to a matter of days, which can be hard for us outsiders to figure out. But it appears that they probably unknowingly (one would assume, but who knows) conceived their son, broke up, and Tom got together with Gisele Bundchen very shortly thereafter. Because Bridget seemed to be pregnant longer than an elephant, a lot of people assumed she and Tom hooked up after they broke up, but many people have pointed out that it’s not unusual for a woman to carry her first child up to two weeks longer than her due date. Either way, it seems unlikely, though certainly not impossible, that Tom found out about the pregnancy and then split. It seems more likely that they’d already broken up when Bridget found out she was pregnant, and her pregnancy status didn’t bring their relationship back together (not that I’m saying she wanted it to or that it should or shouldn’t have). But there’s some understandable animosity between the two. Bridget seemed pissed that Tom hooked up with Gisele so quickly after their breakup. And I mean that’s understandable, if your hot ex-boyfriend starts dating the world’s highest paid supermodel seconds after you break up, you’d probably be pissed too. Especially if a few months later you were carrying what looked to be his own personal football team through the summer heat.

“The arrival of a beautiful baby boy has not eased the bad blood between exes Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady.

“The New England Patriots QB flew to Los Angeles by private jet last week for the birth of his son, John Edward Thomas Moynahan.

“‘Tom was only allowed to see the baby for a short time,’ says a West Coast spy. ‘Bridget would not see him herself.’ Moynahan’s publicist said in a statement: ‘Bridget is very thankful for a happy baby, excited about being a mother, and very pleased that the father, Tom Brady, was able to be there for the birth.’

“But our source says: ‘He was only allowed to come after the baby was born. The woman would not see him, period. And she gave the baby her last name.’

“The model/actress and Brady split last year after three years of dating. News of the pregnancy emerged just after Brady began a relationship with Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

“‘[Tom] is waiting to find out when he can see the little guy again,’ says the snitch. ‘Bridget is not giving him any slack on this at all.’

“Yesterday, her spokesman said Brady and Moynahan were ‘together’ at the hospital, but couldn’t say if he was in the room during the birth. ‘Bridget and Tom are on speaking terms and have the best interests of the child at heart,’ he said.”

[From Gatecrasher]

I think that, given just what’s known about the complexity of their relationship, most of it makes sense. I doubt many women would want the father of their child in the room during labor. It’s such a scary and happy and emotional process, and having someone around that hurt you (regardless of fault/reason) would make an already challenging time all the more so. Either way, Tom’s allowed to move on with his life, as it seems he has, and Bridget’s allowed to do the same, and to give the baby her last nae. It’s not necessarily an affront to Brady. If I carried something as big as what Bridget had going on, I wouldn’t be naming it after anyone else. I’d probably name it “My Mom is So Amazing” or something equally complementary. I don’t know how she managed to do that. It really was ironic how it looked like the kid had a football in there at the end. Maybe he snuck one in when no one was looking. Either way, welcome to the world John Edward Thomas Moynahan.

Well she’s been gestating for longer than an African elephant (which gestates for 660 -760 days), but Bridget Moynahan has finally given birth to a boy yesterday morning. No one seems to know if the baby’s father, Moynahan’s ex-boyfriend Tom Brady, was around for the birth. He wasn’t at practice for the New England Patriots on Wednesday, so one would hope he’s taking some time off to bond with his new son. No mention of Gisele Bundchen either, but let’s assume that’s par for the course.

“It’s a boy for Bridget Moynahan and New England Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady. The actress gave birth to the baby in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Moynahan’s publicist Christina Papadapoulos said in a statement. ‘Both mother and baby are doing well,’ she said.

“Other details were not immediately released.

“Brady’s whereabouts weren’t known. He wasn’t on the field or sidelines for the first 15 minutes of practice on Wednesday and Patriots spokesman Stacey James said he didn’t know when Brady would rejoin the team. It also wasn’t clear whether Brady would play in the Patriots’ third exhibition game Friday against the Carolina Panthers. A call to his agent, Donald Yee, wasn’t immediately returned.

“Brady, 30, had said earlier this week that he would like a few days off for the birth of his first child, calling the event ‘a very joyous, happy situation.’ Moynahan and Brady split up late last year after a three-year relationship. Brady, who has been dating supermodel Gisele Bundchen, wasn’t on the field or sidelines for the first 15 minutes of Patriots practice Wednesday.

“The quarterback had said he wanted a few days off to attend the birth of his first child. It was unknown if he arrived before the baby was born.”

[From Newsday]

According to Monster & Critics, Bundchen and Brady are planning on getting married this winter, and she has started shopping for a dress and a locale – though they haven’t announced an engagement. I can’t say why, but that makes me sad. Probably because I remember reading some article years ago about her relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio, and several people commenting that she was vapid and mean. Somehow the thought of her around a little baby is scary. But apparently she’s all for the babies. She told Monster and Critics “The beauty – who previously dated actor Leonardo DiCaprio – said: ‘Everybody is different, but for me, having a family will be my greatest achievement. When you have a family that you can raise the way your parents raised you then I think you have succeeded. I have that dream.’” Let’s hope everything works out peacefully for the new – and large – family.

Its The Story of a Man Named Brady Who was Busy with a Bundchen of his Own.

But as Tommy Brady is learning … it’s best to be off with the old before you are on with the new ….and if you going to Go Long Mr. Football … you better go longer than Bridget Moynahan’s last period. Can I get an Amen!

Page Six has the particulars:

IT’S getting nasty between New England Patriots quarter back Tom Brady and his pregnant ex, “Six Degrees” actress Bridget Moynahan. Pals of Brady claim Moyna han didn’t bother to tell him she was announcing her pregnancy via Liz Smith’s column in The Post on Sunday. “Bridget didn’t even bother to tell him she was going to go public with this,” said a friend. Some say that Moynahan, three months expectant with her first child, “may have gotten pregnant on purpose. She is 36, wanted a baby, and Tom was dumping her. It’s a little suspicious.”

There’s a little too much Frat House flavor to those comments for comfort – a the tail end of a three year relationship a baby is time for a serious conversation, not teenage she tricked me lines. The suspicion is that Brady is flying a little too high on Air Giselle to be bothered stepping up properly … and there’s a little tarnish on Boston’s golden boy already … treating a nice Irish girl so shabbily.

Biddy Moynahan’s camp makes a much stronger case:

But a friend of Moynahan said, “Please. They dated for three years and they broke up in December – right around the time he found out she was pregnant and he immediately started dating Gisele Bundchen. Who’s the gross one here?”

Exactly … the pregnancy breakup is no one’s winning move.

A rep for Moynahan said, “We got calls [about the pregnancy] and confirmed them, but he did get a heads-up.” Brady is meanwhile in Paris with Bundchen , who will walk in the Dolce & Gabbana show in Milan next week. According to Brazilian gossip Anderson Antunes of Web site Glamurama, Bundchen has gained 14 pounds to weigh enough to be able to walk in the show.

Wow — every girl around Mr. Brady starts packing on the pounds.

In a sweetly FedEX fertility move – Bridget Moynihan is reportedly three months pregnant with Tom Bradys baby – after breaking up with her NFL boyfriend – just about three months ago.

He’s since been doing the rounds with supermodel Giselle Bundchen. Bridget hadn’t been quite so hasty about the rebound dating ….now we see why.

People Magazine reports the salient facts:

Moynahan, 35, who is over three months pregnant, is said to be “healthy and excited,” the paper reports.

This will be the first child for both Moynahan and Brady. A rep for the New England Patriots had no comment.

The actress, a former model who starred in the ABC drama Six Degrees, and the Patriots star quarterback, ended their three-year relationship at the end of last year.

Since then, Brady, 29, has been romancing Brazilian-born supermodel Gisele Bundchen, 26. The new couple, who a source told PEOPLE started dating just before Christmas, are in Paris over the weekend.

The pair caught the Academie du Spectacle Equestrian horse show at Versailles on Saturday before having dinner at the Café de la Paix, reportedly Bundchen’s favorite restaurant in the City of Light .

Former Model versus Super Model …. that’s a Reality TV concept with ratings written all over it. I think in this World Cup … Ireland beat down Brazil – Kimora Lee Simmons style.

They say comedy is all about timing. And its some excellent comic timing that puts the happy, healthy and excitedly pregnant stamp all over your ex’s Paris getaway. The most romantic city in the world … not this weekend! Nothing drains the hot romance out of a champagne weekend quicker than a baby on the way … and when it ain’t your baby … even more with the romance draining. It’s like the Roto-Rooter of romance draining. And Café de la Paix … apparently they were serving a Speciality of the Day … NFL flavored crow … with a side of humble pie .

Bridget Moynihan was glowingly out and about this weekend for the opening of her new film Gray Matters. Tom Brady has so far not been available for public comment … probably very busy getting those Bundchen knickers out of their twist. If he’s allowed anywhere near the sainted knickers at all.
