A New York wedding is in the future for Victoria’s Secret angel Gisele Bundchen and her New England Patriots beau Tom Brady, according to Page Six . The couple reportedly have plans to celebrate their wedding reception at Tavern on the Green.
A spy dished to the gossip rag, “They were recently there, and Brady had a long chat with Broadway Joe Namath.” As we’ve seen before, Gisele’s already been practicing her stepmommy skills with Tom’s son John Moynahan, so she’s up for the challenge.
Gisele also struck some sexy poses on the beach for this photoshoot on the beach in Santa Monica. Her wedding pictures are going to be so perfect, they’ll make you want to puke.

Adriana Lima Talks Upcoming Wedding
At an NYC shoot for Victoria’s Secret, supermodel Adriana Lima gushes to OK! about her fiancé, Memphis Grizzlies basketball star Marko Jaric.
“He’s very honest, he has a great heart and we work really well together,” she explains. “He’s a family man and a gentleman, which I love.”
The supermodel says that she and Marko will marry in Brazil, her native country.
“I want it to be close to my family, where my roots are,” she says, adding, “and I’m the only girl in the family.”
After digging into a luscious peach cobbler dessert during her lunch break, Adriana, 27, returns to set to shoot the $5 million Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra, which she’ll wear for The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, airing Dec. 3 at 10 p.m. on CBS.
“I can picture myself wearing it on the beach with a very thin blouse to see the sparkles through the shirt,” she exclaims. “I would love for someone to get it for me as a gift!”
Hint, hint, Marko!
Giselle Bundchen Gets Naked To Help Save The Brazilian Atlantic Forest
Why is it that people love getting naked for a good cause? Hey, I’m in no way complaining here, but it just seems like these days the outfit of choice for any grassroots campaign is the birthday suit. Case in point: a one Miss Giselle Bundchen in a new ad campaign promoting the Forests of the Future project — an initiative assisting the reforestation of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.
In the ad, Gisele is photographed standing naked in a forest, donning some strategically placed foliage to cover her modesty and crossing her hands to cover her breasts. Scandalous!
Deforestation is a big problem, and I don’t mean to get all vegetarian on you, but did you know that between 1991 and 2000, the total area of forest lost in the Amazon rose from 415,000 to 587,000 km, with most of the lost forest becoming pasture for cattle? In fact, 70% of formerly forested land in the Amazon, and 91% of land deforested since 1970, is used for livestock pasture!
Kinda makes a brother stop and think, right?
Kate Moss: I hate my short legs
The supermodel wishes she could be taller
Kate Moss has earnt a fortune as a top model and fashion icon. She has her own clothes range at Topshop and has just launched new perfume Velvet Hour.
But the 34-year-old from Croydon knows her body is far from perfect - she just makes the most of what she’s got,
‘I’d love to have longer legs,’ she says, ’so that’s why I own lots of leggings: because they make my legs look longer.
‘People would be surprised if they knew how little time I spend obsessing about what I’m going to wear.’
Kate knows that smoking is bad for skin but isn’t prepared to give up the habit to help keep her looks.
‘I couldn’t survive without cigarettes,’ she admits. ‘I’ve been smoking Marlboro Lights since I was 14 and I have no intention of quitting now.’
Lingerie Model Again for Lydia Hearst: Goodbye Page Six
Lydia Hearst is out at Page Six. The lingerie model is out as a columnist amidst all sorts of charges and counter charges about her column. Only in New York. Let’s look at Lydia in another way and go back just a bit to when it was announced that she was the new face and body for Myla’s vintage-inspired fall and winter collection.
Bitten and Bound writes, “Looking every bit the 40’s pinup girl, one has to wonder if boyfriend Matt Rains, a Black Hawk fighter pilot deployed to Iraq, keeps her pictures pinned to his barracks wall.”
Lydia Hearst is the heiress to the Hearst publishing fortune, and daughter of Patty Hearst and B & B notes that she “caused quite a stir on the season finale of Gossip Girls, and now she’s at it again as the model for a steamy new ad campaign for Myla lingerie.”
“I’m pretty comfortable posing in my underwear. You may have seen my new campaign for British lingerie company Myla, which has spawned a bit of mudslinging on the Internet about how I’m Paris Hilton. (Remember: I am a supermodel and have the award to prove it, and she is a celebrity. There’s no comparison.” Indeed.
Benji who? Newly single Paris Hilton hits town in a flowing dress and a brave face
Paris Hilton looked classy in an eye-catching dress as she posed at an LA bar opening in the wake of her split with rocker Benji Madden.
And if the socialite was unhappy after the break-up she tried her best to hide it in an attention-grabbing outfit decked with yellow ribbons, matching alice bands and a handbag.
The heiress looked fresh-faced and clear-eyed - not like someone who had spent the past week at home crying their eyes out.
Her full-length black dress with grey bodice was set off by the buttercup yellow sash, clutch purse and headband.
The colour co-ordinated Paris and a gal pal were attending the opening of Lucky Strike Lanes and Lounge at the LA Live centre.
The new look comes just two days after she was spotted leaving an LA nightclub looking glum and alone.
The same night her ex Benji was partying it up with friends across town.
Paris and the Good Charlotte guitarist ended their 10-month relationship earlier this week, after the heiress was spotted getting cosy with ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos in Miami.
The couple had started dating in February after spending more time together while visiting her best friend - and Simple Life co-star - Nicole Richie.
Nicole, daughter of singer Lionel Richie, has an 11-month-old daughter Harlow with Benji’s twin brother Joel.
Paris and Benji’s relationship started just weeks after he ended his engagement to Australian singer/actress Sophie Monk.
The shock split came just as sources were predicting the pair would get engaged.
They have not revealed the reason for their break-up, but had increasingly been spending more time apart due to Paris’ filming commitments in London.
But with her choice of dress, Paris is clearly determined to show the world she is happy to be single and back on the market.
Supermodel beauties share naughty secrets
IT’S hard to stand out when you’re standing right next to she-who-never-looks-bad Heidi Klum and a troop of the world’s top supermodels, but Miranda Kerr managed to more than hold her own yesterday when attending to official Victoria’s Secret duties.
The Gunnedah gal and her fellow angels - including Karolina Kurkova, Marisa Miller and Adriana Lima - shared their favourite gift ideas with shoppers at one of the lingerie giant’s Miami stores.
Girls on top: The Victoria’s Secret models amazing picture gallery
The naughty nine will spend all weekend filming this years holiday-infused runway show at the Fountainbleau hotel, which is “top secret” and won’t go to air in the US until December 3.
Although pictures of Kerr in an elaborate butterfly ensemble have already been released, the rest of the the theatrical spectacular which is one of the top rating shows in the US - surprise, surprise - has been kept under wraps.
While Kerr and her co-stars were all looking enviable in top model condition, a special mention needs to go to Brazilian supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio.
She only gave birth to her daughter three months ago and is still capable of strutting her stuff in a bra and undies.
Miami ice: Heidi Klum dazzles in diamond underwear at Victoria’s Secret Florida fashion show featuring a $5m bra
America and the rest of the world may be facing a recession but it appears that nobody told US underwear label Victoria’s Secret.
At its show in Miami, 35 supermodels took part in a fabulously opulent extravaganza, with most of them dripping in feathers, lace, sequins and eye-wateringly expensive jewellery.
Heidi Klum wore red underwear joined by a web of diamonds plus sparkling red wings, made to resemble a bow on a present, while Adriana Lima coolly strutted down the catwalk in the Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra - worth $5million.
The bra, designed by Martin Katz, is decorated with white and black diamonds and rubies and will be for sale in the Victoria’s Secret catalogue.
Mr Katz said: ‘You could wear it as an open top because it looks like a finished top.’
Singer Usher kicked off Saturday’s show at the newly renovated Fontainebleau Miami Beach which reopened on the same day.
‘The theme of the show is a return to glamour,’ said company CEO Sharen Turney. ‘Victoria’s Secret is about sexy, and the new sexy is glamorous for this season.’
Two silver palm trees adorned the stage on which models wore a total of 68 outfits based on themes including glamorous goddesses and bold colours with geometric designs influenced from the 1920s.
Some models wore gilded bras with Swarovski crystals attached. There was also a gold sculpted feather body piece that curved around the model’s body. Metal sculpted laurel leaves were also worn around some of the models’ necks.
Wing designer Martin Izquierdo made seven pairs of wings for the show. He said he turned to Greek mythology and butterflies for inspiration.
Celebrities spotted on the pink carpet included Paris Hilton, P Diddy, actor John Stamos, Kim Kardashian and Martha Stewart.
Brazil’s Alessandra Ambrosio Rules the Runway
New mom struts her stuff at 2008 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
For better or worse, Hollywood actresses and models set the bar for what we consider beautiful today. While good genes definitely play a part, top beauties also work hard to stay in great shape, especially after having a baby.
Take supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio. Despite having had a baby less than three months ago, the 27-year-old Brazilian bombshell looked sensational strutting her stuff Nov. 15 at the 2008 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Miami.
When asked how she regained her pre-pregnancy body so quickly, Ambrosio gave a simple but boring answer. “[It's] just working out. There’s no magic, [just] close your mouth,” she said. “Basically, don’t eat any chocolate or sweets…nothing that’s unhealthy. Lots of healthy food, working out a lot, lots of cardio.”
Similarly, Oscar winner Angelina Jolie stunned the crowd at the Oct. 4 premiere of her new movie, the Changeling, in New York. Despite having had a baby in July, Jolie, 33, looked svelte and stunning in a fitted black cocktail dress.
While rumors swirled that Angelina had undergone a tummy tuck after the birth of her twins, it’s far more likely that diet and exercise were responsible for her sensational post-baby body. Indeed, in November, Jolie confirmed that she works out for an hour three times a week doing Pilates. She has also followed a healthy diet and regular workout routine for years.
In the unforgiving world of fashion and show biz, looking less than your best can have a direct impact on your paycheck and public image. Take Alessandra’s fellow Victoria’s Secret Angel, Karolina Kurkova. When the leggy 5′11″ Czech supermodel strutted the catwalk last summer at the Cia Maritima show during Sao Paulo Fashion Week, the local paper trashed Kurkova, saying she was “too fat” to walk the runway. Kurkova seems to have taken the criticism to heart, having slimmed down enough to grace the catwalk at this year’s Victoria’s Secret fashion show.
But the emphasis on looking good is no longer limited only to supermodels and actresses. Recently, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin ignited a media firestorm when she was named John McCain’s vice presidential running mate on Aug. 29. While Palin, 44, was previously an obscure local politician, the fit mother of five quickly became a media sensation who energized the Republicans’ conservative base with her spunk and good looks. Surprisingly, Palin had given birth to her fifth child just four months before being named the VP nominee.
So what’s Sarah Palin’s secret for regaining her pre-pregnancy shape (she has obviously had lots of practice)? Again, it’s not rocket science: She follows a low-fat, high-protein diet and is an avid runner. Whether you agree with her political views or not, there’s no denying that Palin is in great shape–especially for a middle-aged mom of five.
Whenever a celebrity is fit or gets back into shape quickly after giving birth, it’s easy to say it’s just because they have a personal trainer or a nutritionist. But, in reality, the answer is simpler and more mundane: Hard work and persistent effort. Just ask Alessandra.
Elle Macpherson seen arm-in-arm with NBC’s Dan Abrams
SHE barked away rumours she was romancing a toy-boy this year but has Elle Macpherson got her cougar claws into an eligible American silver fox?
That’s the question buzzing around the world after the Aussie supermodel was spotted looking smitten on the arm of NBC legal correspondent Dan Abrams.
The 44-year-old yummy mummy met the 42-year-old part-time news anchor two months ago at a New York film screening, where they drew attention for being “deep in conversation” during the night.
A second appearance this week strolling arm-in-arm after dinner at exclusive eatery The Waverley Inn had the NY Post gossip column convinced it’s one new merger to watch.
The potential pairing has been given a nod of approval by the city’s social set, citing Abrams’ “thing for statuesque blondes” after having been engaged to Law & Order bombshell Elisabeth Rohm, 35, before they split in 2005.
He was most recently in a relationship with British actress Jaime Murray, 31 best known for her roles in TV series Hustle and Channel 10 drama Dexter, before they split this year.
Macpherson has denied more men than she could possibly have dated this year, rejecting claims she was linked to the 21-year-old son of director Julian Schnabel and more recent reports of ties to convicted drug smuggler Brian Burgess.
Karolina Kurkova Named World’s Sexiest Woman
Ironically, Kurkova was recently bashed as ‘too fat’ to walk the runway
Victoria’s Secret model Karolina Kurkova has been voted the World’s Sexiest Woman by E! television, a mere five months after being bashed as “too fat” to walk the runway.
Kurkova, 24, beat out fellow Victoria’s Secret supermodels Adriana Lima and Gisele Bündchen, as well as Oscar winner Angelina Jolie. Kurkova, a leggy 5′11″ Czech supermodel, was recently ranked by Forbes magazine as one of the world’s highest paid models, raking in an estimated $5 million in 2007. Bündchen, 28, topped that list, with estimated 2007 earnings of $35 million.
Ironically, Kurkova ignited a media firestorm in June, after she appeared looking slightly heavier than usual in a bikini during Sao Paulo Fashion Week. A local Brazilian paper blasted Karolina as “too fat” to walk the runway and described how “shocked” the audience was when she appeared with “back fat and cellulite on her butt.” The incident sparked a heated media discussion on whether the fashion industry sets unrealistic standards of beauty.
Recently, Karolina–who graced the runway during the 2008 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Miami–caused a stir when rumors swirled about her unusually smooth-looking belly button. Victoria’s Secret reps have confirmed that Kurkova has no belly button, and that one is edited in whenever her mid-section is photographed. However, this minor “imperfection” hardly seems to have hurt Karolina’s sizzling career.
Top 10 Sexiest Women, as ranked by E! Entertainment Television:
1. Karolina Kurkova, 24
2. Bar Rafaeli, 23
3. Angelina Jolie, 33
4. Gisele Bundchen, 28
5. Scarlett Johansson, 24
6. Adriana Lima, 27
7. Heidi Klum, 35
8. Penelope Cruz, 34
9. Manuela Arcuri, 31
10. Shakira, 31
Paris Hilton soldiers on after break-up… in a PVC bondage style dress
She may just have split from rocker boyfriend Benji Madden, but Paris is clearly burying herself in her work as she poured herself into a black PVC dress at an event last night.
Paris donned the racy look for the launch of the The Pussycat Dolls Lounge at the Viper Room in Los Angeles.
Sending a clear message to the Good Charlotte rocker, that she’s back on the market, and ready for the hunt
It seems Paris is keen to get back to her man-eating ways, as she struck a series of raunchy poses in the sexy outfit.
But it was all in the name of publicising the launch of the Pussycat Dolls - the burlesque troupe not the pop group’s - new home at the notorious LA club which was once better known for being the spot where River Phoenix fatally overdosed in 1993.
And on the same night she stepped out at the American Music Awards wearing a very brief gold minidress.
Paris and the Good Charlotte guitarist ended their 10-month relationship earlier this week, after the heiress was spotted getting cosy with ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos in Miami.
The couple had started dating in February after spending more time together while visiting her best friend - and Simple Life co-star - Nicole Richie.
Nicole, daughter of singer Lionel Richie, has an 11-month-old daughter Harlow with Benji’s twin brother Joel.
Joel told The Sun: ‘Paris is someone we all know. She’s been friends with Nicole since they were like three, and it’s not like we’re never gonna see her again.
‘You just have to go, ‘Hey you guys, if it’s not working out, figure it out.
‘But we all have to kind of see each other. So I think that whatever they figure out they will. But it’s all good. Benji’s doing good.’
Paris recently told a US radio show: ‘He’s an incredible person. We’ll always be very close. We’ll see what happens in the future. I’m still in love with him.’
Lily Allen and Agyness Deyn have close attention on the party in Dubai
POOR Lily Allen and Agyness Deyn were expecting to have the close attention of flunkies at the world’s big-gest party in Dubai.
But they didn’t reckon on the kind of intimate attention they did receive.
They were subjected to an unsavoury, hour-long strip search on their way to the ?20million shindig at the Atlantis Resort.
Dubai Customs officials examined more than 100 guests and targeted those who have big reputations for partying.
Poor Lily, who has admitted to taking cheeky sweets since the age of 13, was left traumatised by her lengthy probing at Dubai airport.
The warbler, 23, said: “I was strip-searched, which was so nice as soon as you arrive. I knew I didn’t have anything on me, so I wasn’t worried. I wasn’t paranoid, just terrified.
“It took more than an hour. It was really scary as they didn’t tell you what they were doing. They just said: ‘Take off trousers’. And I was like: ‘Help’!”
Aggie and her boyfriend, Albert Hammond Jr, 29, were also poked in intimate regions to ensure they weren’t smuggling naughties into the country.
The supermodel, 25, admitted: “Both Albert and I were strip-searched. It was really traumatic.
“It wasn’t the best experience in the world. But it is their culture and you just have to respect it.”
But Rhys Ifans, 40, couldn’t even bring himself to discuss his toe-touching episode, which lasted an eye-watering two hours and included a terrifying grilling.
Organisers of the opening of the ?1billion resort were concerned that the United Arab Emirates’ strict anti-drugs policy would sour the four-day bash for their superstar guests.
So they issued everybody with leaflets before the event, warning them about the dangers of bringing in illegal substances.
Our man with the John Wayne gait said: “We were supposed to have been treated like gods, but we were treated like villains. They sent us a warning letter, but that wasn’t enough to prepare us.”
A supermodel life
Even if you’re not modelling on the world’s hottest catwalks, you can follow the lead of the genetically blessed by adopting their hobbies.
1 Ditch the car and sport some real wheels
Take a leaf out of English model Agyness Deyn’s book and opt to cycle your way through town. The pixie-faced punk whose unique androgynous looks have scored her contracts with labels such as Burberry, Mulberry and Vivienne Westwood told Britain’s Sunday Mirror her transport of choice is “an old Pashley Princess Classic, an old-fashioned black-framed bike with a straw basket”.
“I ride everywhere and when I am on the bike and see a good shop I can jump off and go in and have a look around.”
Erin Wasson, who worked as a Victoria’s Secret model in 2007 and played the object of Justin Timberlake’s affection in his debut clothing line’s advertising campaign, prefers to hit the road on her skateboard.
“I’ve built a treehouse in my backyard and I’ve got a half-pipe there also, so every summer I bring all the kids from the neighbourhood over and I teach them how to skate,” she told Vero Moda magazine.
2 Get creative on paper
Russian model Sasha Pivovarova says you don’t need to paint like Picasso to tap into your creativity.
“I have these large pieces of recycled brown paper stretched on my apartment wall and when I am not doing anything fashion-related, I’m drawing on it, playing with colour spectrums,” she told V magazine recently.
She is said to carry her art tools with her between catwalk shows and has even converted part of her New York apartment into a private studio.
3 Channel your inner Grandma
How does a model pass the time backstage before a catwalk show? By knitting scarves and woolly jumpers, of course.
US model Amber Valletta and Scottish colleague Stella Tennant have both been spotted knitting on various occasions while backstage hair and make-up types fuss over them. Quite clever, really, as knitting is a sure-fire way to ensure your wardrobe won’t mirror anybody else’s. You can pick up myriad wool textures and colours at Lincraft.
Erin O’Connor Hearts Topshop
Erin O’Connor looked stunning in a Topshop jacket at The British Fashion Awards.
Erin O’Connor is not going to be in the good books with Marks and Spencer this morning!
Not only did the supermodel leave her expensive jackets at home, she also decided that she would wear a snakeskin number from Toppers instead of one from M&S.
The supermodel looked stunning at The British Fashion Awards last night and partied with Claudia Schiffer, Jourdan Dunn and Pixie Geldof.
Erin teamed her floor length ruffled dress with a ?50 snakeskin tux jacket from Topshop. If you’re looking for a party cover up then look no further as Topshop has it sorted.
Jessica Stam Is Having Boy Trouble
Supermodel Jessica Stam, whose face has an alien sheen, is dating the son of eighties pop guy Huey Lewis, who is facing jail time on pot-possession charges and for doing graffiti on West Fourth Street. So it’s complicated, with her all, like, “If this is it, please let me know,” and him just like, “I want a new drug that won’t hurt my head.” Britney Spears will have a circus-themed 27th-birthday bash at Tenjune on Tuesday to coincide with that day’s release of her new album, Circus. And also, she blames her little sons’ saying the F-word and misbehaving in preschool on their father, and recently had a date with a guy who was “an older version of Harry Potter, but skinnier.” Giants guys Reuben Droughns and Danny Ware and Jets guys Darrelle Revis and David Clowney have been going to the Murray Hill bar the Hill to watch Monday Night Football. Heath Ledger’s sad end will be ripped off in an upcoming Law & Order episode.
Madonna and Guy’s breakup is probably going to be hard on their three kids and may damage them, maybe especially the little one they purchased in Africa. Natalie Portman couldn’t play Amy Adams’s young-nun role in the new movie of Doubt because “she didn’t understand celibacy.”
Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s parents are both broken-up and broke. Baz Luhrmann shot many endings for Australia, including one where Nicole Kidman simultaneously becomes a boy-raping news anchorwoman and dies of TB while singing. Ashlee Simpson’s name was misspelled “Ashley” on the cover of OK!, meaning that a copyeditor will likely be the last new Gitmo prisoner before Obama comes into office.
Now that Scrubs is finishing up, Zach Braff wants to make a movie about an American Jew who visits Israel. Claymation TV characters Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt got married in real life.
