Fragrant Future For Izabel

After the announcement that model Raquel Zimmerman didn't show at the Animale fashion show, on the official programming of Fashion Rio, the brand exclusively contracted the supermodel Izabel Goulart. In agreement, with the director of Ten Model agency, Laura Vieira, Goulart is also going to launch a perfume with her name for the American lingerie brand, Victoria's Secret called 'Pout'. The campaign is going to be shot by Ellen Von Unwerth, a recognized fashion photographer, who has works published in magazines as Vogue, Vanity Fair, The Face, Photo, Arena and I-D.

Bundchen Loves Brady?

Tom Brady traded up? Word from San Diego is that supermodel Gisele Bundchen - who once professed her admiration for the New England Patriots QB/QT - was outside the Pats’ locker room after Tom & Co. shocked the Chargers on Sunday.

“She was standing outside the locker room, just kind of leaning against the wall,” said our spy in the bowels of QualComm Stadium. “No one noticed her, she was dressed like a high-school kid, just in jeans and a T-shirt. But she is gorgeous.”

Adding fuel to this possible Gisele-Brady hook-up is the fact that the Victoria’s Secret’s sweetheart was in the company of Tom’s go-to guy Will McDonough, (no relation to the late columnist). “He’s Tom’s Do-Boy,” said our spy. “If she was with him, she was headed for Tom.” Of course she was. Because, as we all know, Tom is single now. And so is Gisele, who has been linked to Josh Hartnett and surfer dude Kelly Slater since splitting with her longtime love Leonardo DiCaprio.

And if, in fact, there is a love connection, we are going to have to take some match-making credit. Because as you may recall, Gisele came to Gillette Stadium last season to hawk her frilly underthings and she sat down for an interview with the Track.

What do you think of Tom Brady, we asked. “Tom Brady, definitely not too shabby,” the 26-year-old Brazilian beauty said. “He’s pretty cute. All-American, that’s a good way to describe him.” But Gisele was also aware that, at the time, Brady was dating “Six Degrees” star Bridget Moynahan. “He’s cute,” she said. “But if he has a girlfriend, he’s gay to me. There are too many men in the world to go after a man who has a woman. Life is too short.”

Of course, Tom no longer has a woman. He and B. broke up a couple of months back. BTW, when he was advised of Gisele’s gay comment, Tom was chagrined. “Oh, jeez, that’s a little harsh,” No. 12 told WEEI’s John Dennis and Gerry Callahan at the time. Brady later confessed that it was a tad hard to concentrate on the game when Gisele’s image came up on the the Gillette Stadium scoreboard. Hmmm. Sounds like the Mutual Admiration Society to us!

Anyway, we can tell you that the beauteous Bundchen was, in fact, a guest of the Kraft Family at the Pats/Chargers game and that the Krafts also hosted Aaron Lewis of the Springfield-based rock group Staind and Arlington comic Dane Cook. And Tom did seem in a raaaather big hurry to wrap up his press conference after putting the hurt on the Chargers, trying at one point to cut the Q&A session short. “Guys, I’m going to go see my family,” said Brady as he attempted to move toward the door after fielding a round of questions.

But No. 12 was stopped in his tracks by WBZ-TV’s Steve Burton who asked him about post-game comments made by Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson to the NFL Network about the taunting and showboating Pats. “I’ve got no comment,” said Brady, rushing toward the door. “Bye, guys, thank you.” And he was off like a prom dress . . . . But, for what it’s worth, we do know that Tom was onboard the team plane when it headed back to Boston late Sunday night. Discuss.

Naomi Pleads Guilty To Assault

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has pleaded guilty to reckless assault in a plea bargain with prosecutors in New York. The London-born model has been ordered to attend a two-day anger management course. She was also sentenced to five days' community service and ordered to pay medical bills of US$363.33 (£185.32) to her housekeeper.

Campbell injured Ana Scolavino by throwing a jewel-encrusted mobile phone at the back of her head. The pair had been rowing over a pair of missing jeans.

The 35-year-old told Manhattan Criminal Court: "I threw a cell phone in the apartment.
"The cell phone hit Ana. This was an accident because I did not intend to hit her. I am advised that Ana was hurt and I am deeply sorry about that."

If Campbell had been convicted of the original charge of second-degree felony assault she would have faced a sentence of between two and seven years behind bars.

The model has a history of problems with her employees dating back to 2000.
Several of them have filed lawsuits accusing her of assault.

Heidi Talks About New Baby

How can one woman be so lucky? Not only does Heidi Klum have great looks, a hit show and a hot husband, but even the birth of her third child was, she says, "easy."

On the morning of Nov. 22, Klum, 33, felt her first contraction. She and Seal, 43, headed for a Los Angeles hospital, and by that afternoon she'd had her baby. Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel arrived weighing 8 lbs., 11 oz. – and bringing delight to brother Henry, 1, and sister Leni, 2. "Everyone had the biggest smiles on their faces once Johan arrived,".


And the big siblings are "so helpful," Klum says. "Leni helps us sing lullabies when Johan has trouble falling asleep." Having three kids younger than 3 keeps Klum and Seal, who wed in Mexico in 2005, on their toes. "It's never boring or quiet in our home," she says, "but we are truly blessed to have three healthy children." She adds: "We love that they will grow up close in age," she adds. "This is what Seal and I have always wanted: a home filled with children's laughter."

Kate Moss Marries Pete Doherty? Apparently Not!

Kate Moss has denied that she married pop singer Pete Doherty while on holiday in Thailand.
The supermodel and pop star are reported to have made a formal commitment to each other in a private beach ceremony during an exotic New Year break.


But her spokesman insisted that the model was simply on holiday on the southern island of Phuket.
He said: "Contrary to various entirely false media reports, there has not been any kind of marriage ceremony in Thailand. She is on holiday."

The couple were photographed celebrating with champagne at a villa overlooking a beach on the island.
Moss was pictured barefoot in a silver dress, while Doherty wore a black suit and his trademark trilby hat.
It was reported that they had undertaken a 30-minute ceremony to formalise their relationship.


Wedding services including Buddhist prayers, the pouring of blessed water and entwining of flower garlands are popular among visitors to the romantic Thai island. But such ceremonies are not legally binding and British participants must still undertake a civil service in the UK.


Moss, 32, and Doherty, 27, are tipped to tie the knot on January 18, and have asked friends to keep the date free, The Sun reported.

Gisele To Write A Book?

Rumour has it that top of the tops Gisele Bundchen is already writing a book about her life. The Brazilian queen has signed with PowerHouse Books in New York, to write about 10 years of her career, long before she is even thirty.The book will be out in 2007 and it promises to appeal the public with photos never published before, some of which on the hot side.

Supermodels writing doesn't usually warrant literary genius, but I think the hot photos just sold it to people who can't even read. I know i'll be reading (staring at) it.
