  • Gisele Bundchen Takes It All–Yes, All–Off for ‘Vogue Paris’ 95th Anniversary Issue

    Gisele Bundchen stripped done to nothing except for one thigh-high black boot inside the pages of Vogue Paris for the publication’s 95th anniversary issue. She is featured on the cover, too, wearing only a hat and a pair of bikini underwear.

    It was about a week ago that Gisele Bundchen shared some of the shots from the Vogue Paris photo shoot with her Instagram followers.

    Not everyone gets undies with their name printed across their butt–but then again, not everyone is Gisele Bundchen.

    Gisele Bundchen is, of course, married to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Rumors had the two on rocky turf a while back, but since his Deflategate scandal has ended, the rumors have dried up.

    The couple are parents to two children–a son and a daughter. Brady has a son from a previous relationship with Blue Bloods star Bridget Moynahan.

    Gisele Bundchen has retired from runway modeling, but is keeping many of her photo contracts. Her fans are no doubt happy to see she kept this one.

  • Miss Georgia, Betty Cantrell, Crowned Miss America After Answering ‘Deflategate’ Question

    Miss Georgia, Betty Cantrell, was crowned Miss America on Sunday night, but not before she was asked a question about the recent New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s recent debacle–better known as “Deflategate.”

    Before receiving her crown, Miss Georgia not only contended with the “Deflategate” issue, she also watched the pageant apologize to Vanessa Williams. Williams was the first black woman crowned as Miss America back in 1984. The pageant took back the crown and stripped her of her title after pictures of her surfaced in Penthouse magazine.

    Vanessa Williams was one of the Miss America pageant judges this weekend who was responsible for awarding the top prize to Miss Georgia.

    Unfortunately, Betty Cantrell didn’t win any fans from the New England area with the way she answered the “Deflategate” question.

    She was asked whether New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady cheated en route to his team’s run to a Super Bowl title last season by using footballs that were improperly deflated.

    “I’m not sure,” Miss Georgia said when asked if Brady cheated.

    “I’d have to see the ball and feel it” she said, before adding, “If there’s any question, then yes, he cheated.”

    Hopefully Miss Georgia–the newly-crowned Miss America–doesn’t make too many trips to Massachusetts while enjoying her reign.

    Has a Miss America winner ever been booed or had tomatoes thrown at her before? Miss Georgia could be the first.

    Miss Georgia’s win signified the end of a run for Miss New York contestants in the pageant. Last year’s Miss America, Kira Kazantsev, was the third consecutive winner from New York.

    Did you watch the Miss America Pageant on Sunday night?

    Were you excited to see Miss Georgia win the crown, or did you have another state in mind for the win instead?

  • Gisele Bundchen Cheers on Hubby Tom Brady During Patriots Season Opener Amidst Divorce Rumors

    Gisele Bundchen was the subject of a recent rumor saying she was considering divorcing her husband Tom Brady. “Deflategate” had allegedly changed the Patriots quarterback, rendering him moody and distant. Despite those claims, however, Gisele Bundchen supported her man during the New England Patriots season opener on Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

    As in previous years, Bundchen live-Tweeted the Patriots game.

    In addition to live-Tweeting Thursday night’s game–which the New England Patriots won–she also re-Tweeted Tom Brady’s recent Under Armour campaign.

    Do you think if Gisele Bundchen were seriously considering divorcing Tom Brady that she’d have been so involved in last night’s game?

    Tom Brady doesn’t think there’s anything wrong in his relationship with Gisele Bundchen. He spoke about his wife just this past week to radio station WEEI-FM.

    “We’re in a great place. I’ll just say that,” he said. “I’m a lucky man. I’ve been very blessed with support from my family and certainly her. There’s no bigger supporter than I have than her and vice versa. I’ve been very blessed to have an incredible relationship with my life partner. I don’t think anything would ever get in the way of that.”

    Patriots fans are likely to breathe a big sigh of relief in learning that all appears well between Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady. Not that Pats fans aren’t a romantic bunch, but they were likely more concerned about how a marital break up would impact Brady’s performance on the field more than anything else.

  • Gisele Bundchen, Tom Brady: Are Split Rumors True?

    Gisele Bundchen and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady are reportedly headed for a split. Is there any truth to this rumor?

    In light of it, Bundchen and Brady are staying very quiet. Neither party has uttered a word since this first hit the media.

    “A report has surfaced, alleging that [Brady] and Gisele could be headed towards a divorce,” a source tells Entertainment Tonight. “We’re hearing that they’re bickering non-stop lately. And really the drama kind of reached a head at Tom’s birthday dinner. Allegedly, Gisele stormed out she was so angry.”

    The couple–and their kids–seemed happy together as recently as August 3, when Gisele Bundchen shared via her Facebook page a photo of the family enjoying a getaway and celebrating Tom Brady’s birthday.

    Could things have gone downhill so quickly?

    Not likely.

    The rumor probably stems from some issues that Ben Affleck is presently facing. Separated from Jennifer Garner, he is rumored to have had–or is still having–an affair with former nanny Christine Ouzounian. Christine was recently seen in a photo wearing Tom Brady’s Super Bowl rings. Tom Brady and Ben Affleck are good friends, but none of this pertains to Tom’s relationship with Gisele Bundchen.

    Tom Brady is up to his eyeballs with the current “Deflategate” saga. Gisele Bundchen no doubt has his back. The two likely aren’t saying a word about these split rumors, because they’re not true.

    So far the media hasn’t drummed up anything concrete to point to a Tom Brady/Gisele Bundchen split.

    This is one rumor that will probably dissipate with time.

    What’s your take on the purported Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen split?

  • Gisele Bundchen Shares Adorable Pic of Tom Brady and the Family’s New Puppy, Scooby, As Fans Rally to ‘Free Tom Brady’

    Gisele Bundchen shared an adorable photo of husband Tom Brady with the family’s new puppy while New England Patriots fans rallied for a “Free Tom Brady” protest Sunday at Gillette Stadium.

    The fans united with the hopes of convincing officials to drop Tom Brady’s four-game suspension for Deflategate, in which the quarterback was accused of having some hand in deflating balls during the NFL playoffs this season.

    Despite the controversy, Gisele Bundchen continues to support her husband and shared the joys of her family on Sunday by posting the photo of Tom Brady with Scooby the puppy.

    In the photo shared by Gisele Bundchen on Instagram, Tom Brady is seen snuggling up to Scooby, seemingly without a care in the world.

    Tom Brady has appealed the decision and fans have been lobbying to get the suspension revoked.

    A crowd estimated to be between 100 and 200 people gathered at the stadium Sunday to show support of their beloved quarterback. The event was reported to have been sanctioned by Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who even went so far as to provide security for the rally.

    According to The Washington Post, an outlet of Kraft company that Peyton Manning is involved with even sent over pizza.

    According to the Associated Press via the New York Post, fans wore No. 12 Brady jerseys and held signs calling on NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to rescind the ban on Brady.

    Isn’t Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady’s new puppy adorable?

  • Gisele Bundchen And Tom Brady Get A Puppy To Distract Themselves From Deflategate

    There’s nothing that a few kisses from a puppy won’t fix. Gisele Bunchen clearly knows that as she posted a photo of her family’s newest member on Instagram.

    The adorable pic shows Bunchen’s husband, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, receiving kisses from a Beagle the couple named Scooby.

    The newest addition to the Brady bunch is shown with its paws on the athlete’s shirt with the caption “our newest family member Scooby (heart emoji).”

    Scooby appears to be a good fit for the couple who already has two children, 5-year-old Ben and 2-year-old Vivian, as well as a fur baby named Lua.

    The Pitbull mix is a star on its own right, as Lua occasionally makes an appearance on Bundchen’s Instagram account and has even starred opposite Brady in a commercial for UGG Australia.

    Getting a new puppy can be the leggy model’s way of altruistically expanding her family or a way of getting her embattled husband’s mind away from his Deflategate suspension. It can also be a clever way of swaying public opinion on the issue.

    Brady is currently on a four game suspension for his alleged role in – or awareness of – the Deflategate scandal.

    If you recall, accusations have been thrown against the New England Patriots for deflating the balls they used during the game.

    And underinflated ball is believed to be easier to catch, throw and grip, thereby giving the Patriots an alleged advantage over their opponent, the Indiana Colts.

    While Brady has denied any involvement, results of the investigation over the issue found that the 37-year-old quarterback was “generally aware” that the Patriots’ equipment managers had tinkered with the footballs used in the game.

    Brady is currently appealing his suspension and has also been getting a lot of support from Patriots fans who conducted a “Free Tom Brady” rally at the Gillette Stadium.

  • Tom Brady Has the Unwavering Support of the Patriots’ Social Media Team

    It’s clear that Tom Brady has the full support of the entire Patriots organization – and that includes whoever runs the franchise’s social media accounts.

    This afternoon, both the official Facebook page and the official Twitter page for the New England Patriots changed their profile pictures to feature a shot of the back of Brady’s #12 jersey.

    The show of social media support echoes the comments of Patriots CEO Robert Kraft, who said Brady has his and the organization’s “unconditional support. Our belief in him has not wavered.”

    “Despite our conviction that there was no tampering with footballs, it was our intention to accept any discipline levied by the league. Today’s punishment, however, far exceeded any reasonable expectation. It was based completely on circumstantial rather than hard or conclusive evidence,” said Kraft.

    “We are humbled by the support the New England Patriots have received from our fans throughout the world. We recognize our fans’ concerns regarding the NFL’s penalties and share in their disappointment in how this one-sided investigation was handled, as well as the dismissal of the scientific evidence supported by the Ideal Gas Law in the final report.”

    Following the publishing of the Wells Report on the tampered balls scandal known as “deflategate” the NFL suspended Brady for four games, fined the team $1 million, and stripped two draft picks.

    Reports indicate that Kraft, who has been buddy buddy with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in the past, is absolutely furious.

  • Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, John Krasinski and Other Boston Natives Confess to Deflate-Gate in Hilarious Spoof

    Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Steven Tyler, Chris Evans and John Krasinski brought out their best native Boston accents for a skit in support of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady after his team was accused of deflating balls prior to their AFC Championship win.

    Each of the famous Boston sons pretended to be the locker room attendant, who many think is behind “deflate-gate,” in a Jimmy Kimmel Live sketch.

    “I am the locker room guy,” each claims before giving their “reasons” for deflating the footballs.

    “When there’s a high-profile crime, all of a sudden a bunch of people come forward and claim they did it, like when the Lindbergh baby was kidnapped, there was a group — a bunch of people confessed. Same with the Black Dahlia murders,” said Kimmel, introducing the spoof.

    “So I go and I take a football,” said Matt Damon, saying his reason was to help his sick nephew’s bronchitis. “I don’t want to squeeze all the air into his little lungs because, you know, I don’t want to ruin the football, so I just take a little bit of air out of ’em, like 11 out of 12 of them, and it does the trick, it absolutely saves his lungs.”

    John Krasinski said he was the guy, and blames his actions on a Goodyear Blimp accident.

    “I start sucking air out of the regulation balls in order to save those people’s lives,” said John Krasinski. “I saved 17 people’s lives. Tom Brady had nothing to do with it. But let me tell you something — if he did, he would have done the exact same thing. Because he’s a godd**n hero.”
