Gisele Bundchen–Loving Stepmother or Insensitive Troublemaker

She’s a drop dead gorgeous multi-millionaire with a super star new husband, and now women of the world have one more reason to hate supermodel Gisele Bundchen. Apparently, marriage has made the rich (rhymes with witch) more arrogant than ever. If you missed the headlines (and the thousands of subsequent Internet posts), Bundchen is speaking out for the first time about being more than just a stepmom to John Edward Thomas Moynahan, the 18-month-old love child of her new hubby New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and his ex-girlfriend model-actress Bridget Moynahan. In the latest Vanity Fair issue, Bundchen let … Continue reading

Number of Parents Increasing, But Not Marriages

With all the hoopla surrounding the NCAA basketball tournament, Bruce Willis’ new marriage, and Lance Armstrong’s broken collarbone, you may have missed this bit of breaking news today: A record number of babies were born in the United States in 2007… and nearly half were welcomed by unmarried parents. Sarcasm aside (regarding the first part of the last sentence), this fact is legitimate. According to a new federal study, more babies were born in the United States in 2007 than any other year in the nation’s history – and a wedding ring made little difference in the matter. The new … Continue reading

Pop Culture Potpourri: Gisele’s Bold Move and Jerry’s New Record

GISELE’S BOLD MOVE The jokes keep flying at the expense of NFL super star Tom Brady… The beefy quarterback for the New England Patriots has been making headlines for two straight weeks—-ever since his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan gave birth to a baby boy who shares his DNA, but not his last name. Now word comes that while Brady may not be physically present in his new son’s life at least he sent a present to him… as did the football star’s current flame Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen (whom Brady hooked up with shortly after he dumped Moynahan). In a move … Continue reading

Celebrity “Real” or “Rumor”—Brady’s Name Gets Sacked and Gwyneth Leaves Her Kids

Brady’s Name Gets Sacked Yesterday I wrote about the messy baby battle brewing between NFL superstar Tom Brady and his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan. Since the birth of their new son John, the stars’ publicists have been trying to gloss over the fact that there is serious tension between the former flames. While one announcement noted that Brady was with Moynahan at the time of John’s birth, word from an insider now confirms that the New England Patriots quarterback may have been at the hospital during the birth, but not in the room. Details. Details. Here’s the part that I found … Continue reading

Brady’s Baby Blues (Oh, Boo Hoo)

Forgive me if I’m the last to jump onboard the Tom Brady Baby Blues Bandwagon. I have a hard time feeling sorry for the NFL star who was reportedly shedding tears of sadness as he left the maternity ward of an L.A. hospital last week. You’ll recall that it was exactly a week ago yesterday that Brady’s ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan gave birth to their son John Edward Thomas Moynahan. Shortly after the baby’s arrival reps for both parents sent out cheery statements to the media saying that Bridget was “very pleased” that Tom was able to skip practice in Massachusetts … Continue reading

A Baby Boy For Brady and Moynahan

At least he brought flowers… New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was seen entering a L.A. hospital yesterday carrying a massive bouquet of flowers. A couple hours later the announcement came that actress Bridget Moynahan (Brady’s ex-girlfriend) had given birth to a baby boy. “Mother and baby are doing well,” Moynahan’s publicist told reporters. For those of you who haven’t been following the drama surrounding this pregnancy here’s a quick synopsis. The 36-year-old stunning model-turned-actress split from the NFL quarterback last December after a 3-year relationship. Two months later she announced she was pregnant with his baby. By then Brady … Continue reading

Brit and Brady’s Bad Rap

In a previous blog I discussed the media flurry surrounding Britney Spears’ newest “baby”—-a $3,000 Yorkshire terrier. Now, just days after the pop princess succumbed to her puppy love and took the pooch home, big wigs from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) are begging the singer to give the dog a better home (or at least to better owners). “Britney needs a new puppy about as much as Lindsay Lohan needs a drink,” PETA Vice President Dan Mathews recently told MSN Entertainment. “She can barely look after herself and her kids, and she’s tossed away so … Continue reading

Will The Birth Be Televised?

They met on television, courted on television, married before one of the largest television audiences in ABC’s history, and now the question is: “Will Ryan and Trista Sutter (of “The Bachelorette” fame) allow television cameras in the delivery room when they have their first child this summer? Oh, didn’t you hear? Trista is pregnant. After two years of trying the nation’s first televised “Bachelorette” is officially with child. “We are so happy,” Trista recently told PEOPLE Magazine. According to the magazine, Trista is currently 14 weeks along, but doesn’t know the gender of the baby. “I’ve had horrendous morning sickness,” … Continue reading

NFL Super Star and Ex-Girlfriend About To Tackle Parenthood

Did you catch that title? “Football Star and Ex-Girlfriend…” “Ex-girlfriend” being the operative word. Call me old-fashioned, but when I learned that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and actress Bridget Moynahan were about to enter parenthood I thought I heard the names wrong. Tom Brady? The same Tom Brady who just three months ago broke off his three-year relationship with the former model and star of the ABC drama “Six Degrees?” The same Tom Brady who started dating Brazilian-born supermodel Gisele Bundchen just before Christmas? That Tom Brady? Apparently so. According to the New York Post, Moynahan’s rep confirmed … Continue reading
