gisele bundchens vanity fair may 2009 cover

Gisele Bundchen, who just married New England Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady, covers Vanity Fair’s May issue and talks about her new husband and her stepson, John Edward Thomas Moynahan.

Gisele and Tom were married 18 months after his former girlfriend, model-actress Bridget Moynahan gave birth to Brady’s child, John. “It was definitely a surprise for both of us,” the supermodel, 28, admits. “In the beginning you’re living this romantic fantasy; you’re thinking, This can’t be true, it’s so good!” she says “And then, Whoops – wake-up call!”

“It was a very challenging situation,” says Bunchen. “”You question at times – ‘Should I stay here? Maybe you should work this out. But when people break up, it’s for a reason.”

In the end it all “was a blessing, because otherwise I don’t think I would have known what he was made of, and he wouldn’t have known what I was made of,” she says, noting his integrity and “the way he was a good person through all the times. I was like, You have the heart in a good place! It made me feel more in love with him; it made me realize who he was.”

The Brazilian beauty also says of her step-son, ” I want him to have a great relationship with his mom, because that’s important, but I love him the same way as if he were mine.”

holly madison defends kim kardashian

Kim Kardashian has made it be known she doesn’t care that a non-retouched photo of her hit the internet and now she is getting support from a fellow reality star, Holly Madison.

“Kim looks amazing,” Madison says in an interview scheduled to air Monday on E!’s Daily 10. “She’s a gorgeous girl and she’s got nothing to hide.”

Madison says she’s generally not a fan of photo retouching. “One of my pet peeves is too much Photoshop,” says the Girls Next Door star. “When I worked at Playboy, I was always really strict that the Photoshop we used on the girls was minimal.”

Like Kim previously, Holly is competing on Dancing with the Stars and having somewhat of a hard time. “It’s hard,” she says of the training. “I came in late in the game, [and I'm] still kind of nervous … I try to have fun on the dance-floor.”

ashton kutcher offers some tips for marriage

Ashton Kutcher recently used Twitter to give his fans some expert advice on marriage, using his relationship with Demi Moore as an example.

He writes, “For me it’s about relearning that supporting my wife isn’t about providing $ (money) and home, it’s about supporting her desires, needs and emotions.

“Greatest lesson in my marriage: Don’t try to solve her problems, just listen, love and be supportive. This is the opposite of male nature.”

Seems simple enough doesn’t it guys?

Josh Hartnett was admitted to Cedars-Sinai hospital early this morning for severe abdominal pains.

Hartnett, 30, was at the Chateau Marmont hotel in West Hollywood when the pains started. The actor’s friend made the 911 call for an ambulance around 12:53 am.

Josh was picked up nearly an hour later and taken to the hospital. Despite being in pain, he did not require a stretcher and was able to walk to and from the ambulance himself.  The “excruciating pain” may have been caused by a stomach virus. Hartnett has been overseas shooting a new film. A specialist has been contacted and will be seeing him today.

Jenny McCarthy graces the cover of Shape magazine’s May 2009 issue, showing off her toned figure in a red bikini.

The former Playboy Playmate talks about getting in shape and staying that way after giving birth to her son, Evan, in 2002.

“I thought I might be 170 when I left the hospital, but no, I was 200!” the 5′6″ Jenny tells Shape. “When my son, Evan, was born, I dialed back that whole sex-kitten thing.” She joined Weight Watchers in her battle against the bulk, a program she credits with teaching her “portion control and to be conscious of what I put in my mouth.”

The 36-year-old actress attributes her bikini-worthy bod to yoga. She has even gotten boyfriend, Jim Carrey interested in adding the ancient art into his regular workout.

“I give it six months before I find him twisted into a pretzel!”

Jenny McCarthy’s cover issue hits newsstands on Monday, March 30.

Former reality show star, Doug Reinhardt, has reportedly said that he is ready to start a family with his new girlfriend, Paris Hilton.

Reinhardt, who has also dated Lauren Conrad, says, “I’d love to have some mini Paris’ one day. Paris would make a great mom – she’s my angel princess.”

Paris has recently revealed that she wants at least three kids and has already started collecting baby clothes for them.

Meanwhile, rumors have been circulating that Doug has already proposed to Paris, but she turned him down claiming she wasn’t ready to walk down the aisle with him just yet. Hilton reportedly shut the box, with the Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring he bought her inside, and said she would need time to consider the offer.

A few hours later, onlookers who saw the couple leave the restaurant together, said Doug looked “devastated.”

dwts curse strikes holly madison

The Dancing with the Stars curse has struck again and this time competitor, Holly Madison, is the one who’s injured.

According to reports, the former Girls Next Door star started experiencing pain while performing on this weeks show but didn’t get significantly worse until rehearsing for the tango on Thursday.

“While she is not suffering from a broken rib, she does continue to feel a great deal of discomfort and was prescribed pain medication,” Madison’s rep tells Usmagazine.com exclusively. “She is committed to the show and her partner, Dmitry and will rest when she can. She fully hopes and, at this time, expects to dance on Monday.”

Madison complained to Us of having bruised ribs this week and hoped that she wouldn’t have to do the elimination round’s dance-off. (Madison did end up competing in the dance-off against Denise Richards, who went home Tuesday.)

So far on this season of Dancing with the Stars, Jewel and Nancy O’Dell both had to drop out due to injured knees; Steve-O has gotten a hematoma in his back; Steve Wozniack has suffered from an injured leg; Holly Madison with her bruised ribs and Shawn Johnson has a serious stalker (read full story here). Has the curse finished its course this season and if not, who will be next?

american idol michael sarver gets sent home

American Idol rapped up Motown week after saying good-bye to 27-year-old contestant, Michael Sarver. He performed a second rendition of Ain’t Too Proud To Beg to try and persuade judges to save him from going home, but failed.

It didn’t seem too easy a decision for the judges, who needed a few more seconds to decide whether or not to send Sarver home. Then after their quick pow-wow, Simon Cowell told the Jasper, Texas native that his performance was “not good enough…. you’re going home tonight.”

Ryan Seacrest reminded viewers that Sarver will still be joining the remaining contestants for the American Idol Top 10 music tour this summer.

Also in the bottom two was Matt Giraud, who sang Let’s Get It On.

Britney Spears is packing up and moving to New Jersey during the east coast leg of her Circus tour.

According to Life and Style magazine, the pop superstar will stay at a rented home in Alpine. The stay will last a month and won’t cost Spears a dime- Jive records will be paying the whole $30,000 bill.

“She wanted a home away from home, especially for the boys – something close to Manhattan. They talked about Long Island, but she wanted something closer that could feel like home for Sean and Jayden.”
