Gisele Bundchen Has Baby in a Tub and then Goes Back to Work

This is why I hate Gisele Bundchen. Not only does she have her baby in a bathtub, but she also returns to work seven weeks later. It’s really this latter reason that I have a problem with because, come on! Did I mention, if you don’t already know, that Gisele Bundchen works as a supermodel? Yet, seven weeks later, there she is, prancing around in winter bikinis and whatnot. How are real women supposed to live up to this kind of expectation? I know, I know. I realize we live in an ‘educated’ society that knows it’s not reasonable for it to happen this quickly with ‘real’ women. But let’s face it. Those women who had a baby six months ago and still aren’t feeling up to going back to work, all hate Gisele a little bit too right now. Radar Online has all the details on how she handles it all,

“Supermodel Gisele Bundchen gave birth to her baby son Benjamin, by her NFL football star husband Tom Brady, in a bathtub, it has been revealed.

Bundchen told a reporter from the Brazilian show Fantastico during a fashion shoot in Boston, that she gave birth naturally in the tub at the couple’s Beacon Hill townhouse.

“Gisele gives off simplicity, spirituality, shows that she has concern with living well, being happy and, now, with being an excellent mom,” the reporter revealed.

In a preview of the interview, which airs this weekend, the Brazilian correspondent added: “From what I saw in the interview, I’d say she’s right on track.”

Meantime, the stunning model is back to doing what she does best, returning to modeling work just seven weeks after giving birth.

Gisele did a photo shoot Monday, for Colcci‘s winter campaign. Already back in shape, the genetically blessed Brazilian did her first work since the arrival of baby Benjamin. The setting was a studio in Boston and the Übermodel worked for several hours with the renowned photographer David Sims.

Welcome to the world of working moms Gisele!”

I also don’t have anything against having natural home births per se, I just don’t understand them. I don’t know why it’s become so trendy to think of Western medicine as ‘bad’ when people halfway around the world would do anything for half of the resources that we have at our fingertips. And God forbid something should go wrong. Why do you not want to surround yourself with the best equipment and doctors that can handle a real genuine life or death emergency? Can you not find a way to be spiritual in a hospital room? I hear they have real cozy ones now. Set up just like a cottage inn and everything. And doctors, tubes, equipment, scanners, and monitors all in the next room!

Don’t Ya Just Love Jim Jenny?

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy are one of my favorite couples. At first, it was their anti-marriage stance that made me pay more attention to them. As far as I know, the two aren’t not getting married for political reasons, or taking any kind of “not until it’s legal for everyone!” stand, they just simply don’t see the point. And I say, hooray for them! I think that kind of thinking is refreshing in today’s world, when a couple is actually just doing what’s best for them and not trying to make some kind of statement about it.

Okay, more reasons to love Jim and Jenny. They also do oodles of good work, most of which is for autism, which Jenny’s son is affected by. They recently just hosted a poker tournament to raise money for the cause and People nabbed them long enough to talk about the event, and of course, to give them a chance to talk about their relationship, and give us even more reasons to love them. From People,

“Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy have been together four years – and they have a simple explanation about what makes their relationship work.

“Say what you mean,” McCarthy tells PEOPLE. “No one has the energy for mind games.”

“Jenny is the first person that I’ve been with where I don’t have a giant question mark over my head,” Carrey says at the Saturday Night Spectacular poker event he hosted with McCarthy at Miami’s Bank of America Tower.

But how do they keep their relationship on track? “Communication,” McCarthy says, before ticking off other important factors. “Being turned on by each other. Being each other’s soul mate.”

“When you’re not turned on, there’s generally something to talk about,” Carrey interjects. “So, it’s good to listen to that.”

Carrey, 48, and McCarthy, 37, hosted the event to raise funds for their autism organization, Generation Rescue. “This is so important,” Carrey says. “Everyone knows someone who has been touched by autism. It’s important to know that there is hope.”

It’s an issue that hits close to home for them both. McCarthy’s son, Evan, was diagnosed with autism in 2004. Since Carrey started dating McCarthy, he and Evan have developed a close bond. “I think a man who is good with children is sexy,” McCarthy says. “And Jim definitely is. He loves Evan so much.”

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, does the happy couple have any big plans? “I don’t know,” McCarthy says, before turning to Carrey. “What are we going to do?”

He just smiled: “Every day is Valentine’s Day, baby.”

I’d like to imagine that with these two, every day is Valentine’s Day. But I think because they’re so honest, it’s most likely not. Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy have always been quite open about their relationship, even though there’s not a whole ton of drama surrounding these two. They’ve also made it quite clear that they are in it for the long haul with each other – but that there will most likely never be a piece of paper to prove that.

What’s New With Jamie Lynn Spears?

As I was writing a post about Britney Spears the other day, I couldn’t help but wonder what was new with her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, and that cute little baby she had some time ago. It seems that Jamie Lynn has definitely faded into the background and become known only as “Britney Spears’ sister”, despite my attempts to prevent that from happening. But, there seems to be a lot that’s new with Britney’s lil sis. She’s dumped her baby daddy, Casey Aldridge, and hooked up with someone quite a bit older than her. His name is James Watson and he’s everything Jamie Lynn needs. He’s ten years older than she is, she can see a future with him, and he’s got money. Sounds like a match made in heaven, doesn’t it? From Bump Shack,

“Britney Spears’ little sister Jamie Lynn Spears has reportedly broken up with her baby daddy Casey Aldridge and she has already found a new love, a 28 year-old local businessman by the name of James Watson.

The mother of the 19-month old Maddie Briann and James, who owns a company called Advanced Multimedia Partners, started dating last December and they are apparently really happy together. James is more mature, ambitious and a big spender, which is something that Jamie enjoys in a man.

“He installs communications equipment and high-definition TVs for large corporations,” the source says. “James enjoys making money — and enjoys spending it too.”

“They started dating last December,” a source tells Star. “I don’t think James cares at all about who she is; they really seem to like each other.”

Jamie could not imagine a future with Casey since he is young, immature and not exactly career oriented. The 18 year-old mom only stayed with her baby’s daddy for good publicity. “Even when she was pregnant, she didn’t really see a future with him,” a friend tells Star. “She only gave the impression of staying with him so long because it looked better in the eyes of the public.”

Okay firstly, I’m not buying the whole bit about how Jamie Lynn stayed with Casey because it looked good in the eyes of the public. Since when did either of the Spears’ girls what looked good to us? And good on them for it! Not to mention the fact that Jamie Lynn has been out of the eye of the public for quite some time. So, if this whole thing with her and Casey just went down recently, I highly doubt she was staying with him for appearances’ sake.

It does disappoint me that Jamie Lynn is so eager to be with someone because they have money. And I don’t know that an 18-year-old dating a 28-year-old is such a good idea either. But since when did Jamie Lynn Spears ever make good decisions? Sadly, it’s easy to see why she did only become known as Britney Spears’ sister.

Oh No! Say a Taylor Swift and John Mayer Fling Isn’t So!

I heard that John Mayer and Taylor Swift had hung out together in Nashville a couple of weeks ago. When I first read about it I thought, “Oh no, Taylor, be smarter than that, girl!” Because when you hear about Mayer entering into the same state as a girl, you automatically assume that he’s trying to get with her. But as I read, it seemed as though Taylor was indeed smarter than that and the whole thing was nothing more than just John, Taylor, and a bunch of other friends, hanging out together. The whole thing was dropped…until just recently.

Now Mayer is reportedly going around whispering to friends about how that night in Nashville might just appear in one of the country singer’s songs between the two had a ‘fling’, meaning a one-night stand. This is just so hard for me to picture! I mean, Mayer, sure, I expect nothing more. In fact, I’m surprised he has Tweeted about it since. But Taylor?! That’s what makes this so hard for me to believe. She does seem smarter than hooking up with the biggest known player in the land, and she just doesn’t seem like the kind of girl to do one-night stands. And the fact that all of this comes from ‘a source’, makes me even more skeptical. From Digital Spy,

“John Mayer has reportedly revealed that he had a brief romance with Taylor Swift.

Mayer has allegedly admitted to a friend that he “hooked up” with the 20-year-old country singer while they were both in Nashville, Tennessee, on January 24.

The source said: “She was sitting on John’s lap, her arms were around him, and she was talking in his ear. They were acting like teenagers.”

The source claimed that the couple dined at the Cabana restaurant and were joined by their friends. After their dinner reservation, they were spotted leaving the restaurant alone and heading to the Hermitage Hotel.

“Taylor spent the night and enjoyed mid-morning room service before leaving his suite the next day”, the source added.

Both Mayer’s and Swift’s spokespeople have denied the reports.”

And Taylor Swift is barely out of her teenage years so it shouldn’t be surprising to anyone that she was acting like one. That being said, I think she’s always been a smart teenager…at least in the important areas anyway. Yes, it seems like with the White Horse singer at the top of her game, everyone seems to want a piece of her. I wonder what Taylor Lautner thinks about this. I’m rooting for him but, I don’t know. John Mayer seems to have some kind of charm I just don’t understand.

Is There Trouble for Ben and Jen?

One of the things I love so much about the super couple that is Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, is that the media seems to leave them pretty much untouched. I mean, there are a ton of pictures with Jen picking up Violet from preschool, or taking her girls to the park. But as for the rumor mill churning about them, and them being the focus of tabloids, well, they’re just not. And I think that makes them even more of a super couple. But alas, this week they have been touched by the unpleasant gossip, and rumor has it that Jen and Ben might just be in trouble after all.

Apparently, Ben has started smoking, and – gasp! – drinking again and Jen just can’t handle it. The whole time I reading the In Touch article, I kept thinking, “Here comes the ultimatum, here comes the ultimatum.” Because no good story leaves out the ultimatum. And while this tabloid didn’t say that Jen gave Ben the ultimate choice, they did say that Jen fears for her marriage, and that she’s very unhappy about Ben’s cavorting ways. From In Touch,

“At Sundance, “Ben was definitely drinking,” a witness tells In Touch. “He had vodka on the table in front of him. This comes just 10 days after Ben was seen purchasing bottles of wine in LA.

“Ben’s started to have the odd beer and go out to bars,” a friend explains. Ben’s wife, Jennifer Garner, knows that he’s been drinking again – and she’s very upset about it.

“Jen laid down the law and asked him not to do it, and he promised he wouldn’t,” the friend adds. But not long after Ben landed in Utah, he hit the bottle. “Jen was hurt.”

While Jen knows Ben love her and their daughters with “all of his heart”, she worries that there’s a part of him that misses his old life. While recently filming The Town, Ben lit up whenever he was around Blake Lively. “It’s obvious that Ben’s been itching to let off some steam… he’s dying to have fun.”

But if Ben keeps drinking, his four-year marriage to Jen might be at risk. Although friends say he has no intention of slipping back into his destructive behavior, specialists not that “when a onetime alcoholic begins dabbling in drinking again, it can quickly turn into a full-fledged problem.”

Also troubling: Ben has already started smoking again, a friend reveals: “It’s the worry of one addiction leading to another that scares Jen.”

Jen is keeping an eye on Ben to ensure he doesn’t fall back to his old ways, but she knows that nagging could drive Ben away, and she doesn’t want to lose him to his addictive nature.”

I don’t understand why the media needs to paint Jen out as this goodie two shoes who will do no wrong and gets flabbergasted if her husband decides to have a beer. While sometimes I do wish that Jen were a little more like her character, Sydney, on Alias, I think she’s just a very nice person that hasn’t let the Hollywood lifestyle get to her. She’s found a good husband, they have a wonderful family, and I think people know that. It’s okay that Jen doesn’t have scandal or drama at every turn. In fact, it’s kinda what I like about her.

Eminem and Kim Mathers are Not Back Together!

And thank God for it! Apparently there were rumors that Eminem and his ex-wife, Kim Mathers, had gotten back together. And even more so, that they were expecting a second child together! I am so very thankful that I didn’t hear about these rumors until they were disputed. Mostly because I probably would have broken down into some sobbing mess on the floor. Because ya know, other women are the only thing that stand between me and Em making it work. The debunking comes from Contact Music,

“A spokesperson for EMINEM has blasted reports the rapper and his ex-wife are expecting a baby together.
Reports suggesting the Stan hitmaker and Kim Mathers had reconciled, and were planning to add to their family, surfaced earlier this week (begs01Feb10), but Eminem has been quick to quash the rumours.
Speaking on behalf of the star, a representative says, “Contrary to false rumours spread by unreliable tabloids, Marshall and Kim Mathers are not romantically reunited in any way, nor are they expecting a child together.
“They are a divorced couple who share custody of their daughter and maintain a friendly relationship.”
The pair has been married twice – they last split in 2008. They share a 14-year-old daughter, called Hailie.”

‘Called Hailie’? Okay, she’s not a dog! She’s an actual person. Not related to the story but still, just bad English. I think it would be total disaster if Eminem and Kim ever got back together. But after two marriages that failed, I would think that they know better. But I guess with Eminem’s recent success with Relapse and all of us looking forward to Relapse 2 this coming year, Eminem’s going to be in the spotlight a whole lot more, which is a good thing. But just like any celeb, it’s always sure to get the tongues wagging.

And by the way, did anyone see Eminem perform at the Grammy’s? Soooo hot with Lil Wayne and Drake? Not that I really care either way about the other two but my God, Em looked and sounded better than ever!

Has Britney Lost it Again?

I really hate to say anything bad about Britney Spears. Well okay, maybe not anything but generally, I try to take it easy on the girl. She’s been through a lot of crap, has never had a life of her own, and has worked hard to rebuild herself. I realize she’s done all of this while rolling around in her millions of dollars but actually, she hasn’t been doing that lately. And she may not be for some time. And this post isn’t saying anything bad about Britney either. Except that I do feel badly for her and think that people should start to see she’s not all that crazy anymore.

Britney Spears had a court hearing on January 22 to decide whether or not her father, Jamie Spears, should remain her conservator. Unfortunately for Brit, the courts sided with her dad and Britney remains under his control. And from the sounds of it, she didn’t get a fair fight either. From National Enquirer,

“Britney Spears “completely broke down” in the car on the way home from her Jan. 22 court date after realizing she may never get out from under her father Jamie’s conservatorship, The ENQUIRER has learned.

And when the father and daughter arrived back at Britney’s home, she “tore into him like a mad woman,” divulged a source.

“Her bodyguards had to physically restrain her from hitting Jamie. It was a terrible scene. Britney was totally out of control.”

The 28-year-old performer had been hoping to speak to the judge privately during the hearing, which was closed to the public, but her request was denied. Instead, she listened as her doctors gave Jamie credit for her progress over the past year.

They also told the court Britney still wasn’t capable of handling her own medical care or personal life.

On the way home, Britney called ex-husband Kevin Federline and told him “she wants to flee the country with the boys,” divulged the source.

Fearing she may try to run, Jamie has hired two more bodyguards. One is posted outside Britney’s bedroom door 24 hours a day, according to the source.

Britney is so angry,she has tried to break several pieces of surveillance equipment used to monitor her.

“Her family is very worried because Britney hasn’t acted out like this in a long time,” added the source.

“They fear she will do something desperate.”

Okay, can we give the girl a break? Just a tiny one. Yes, I give Jamie Spears all the credit in the world for helping – helping- Britney get back on her feet. But no one can tell me that it didn’t take a hell of a lot of hard work on her part to make it happen. I can understand her ripping into her dad. I’d be pretty upset too if someone tried to make it clear 3 years after the fact that I couldn’t handle myself when I knew much, much better.

And as for the part about hitting him? Well, let’s just hope that’s not true. I mean, I can’t say I wouldn’t have hit him myself but it definitely doesn’t make her case any stronger. The same goes with taking off with the kids. Let’s hope that Britney really does know better at this point. That would look incredibly bad and I’m not sure, but I think she’s even capable of having charges pressed against her if she were to do something like that. Again, let’s hope that she knows better and that it’s not true. Or, in the very least, that it was something that was said in the heat of the moment and that Britney would never do it.

Elin Nordegren Picking Tiger Up from Rehab….Soon!

Well it seems that Tiger Woods has gotten his little pecker in order and calmed him down a bit because he’s been released from rehab. Tiger is set to leave sex rehab by the end of this week and his wife, yes – wife, Elin Nordegren, is flying in to pick him up and bring him home. Well, if he comes home, it won’t be for very long. He and Elin are planning on going away somewhere together to spend some time with each other privately. Aw, isn’t that romantic? A little getaway from the tramps that want to get with your husband. From Radar Online,

“Tiger Woods is leaving sex addiction rehab by the end of this week, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

His wife Elin has flown to Hattiesburg, Mississippi to bring Tiger home, sources close to the situation told RadarOnline.com.

The golfing legend is at the end of his program at Gentle Path in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

As RadarOnline.com reported earlier, his wife Elin has called off the divorce – for now – and is giving Tiger a second chance.

When Tiger leaves the clinic, he and Elin plan to go away together, alone, for a few days, sources told RadarOnline.com.

“Tiger and Elin want to be alone out of public when he leaves the clinic,” a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com.

Elin previously spent five days with Tiger as part of his therapy program in Mississippi. Because of excellent security she was unseen by the press in Hattiesburg, but her absence was notable in Orlando.

The week she was gone her twin sister was photographed out with her children and even took them to Sea World.

Now she’s flown to get Tiger and bring him home.

“He should be out by the weekend,” a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com. “They are giving their marriage another try.”

RadarOnline.com was first to report that Tiger would return to golf by the Spring and that plan is still on schedule – and he may try to play even sooner.

“He wants his life back,” one source told RadarOnline.com.

Tiger has been in rehab for approximately six weeks. His secret life of cheating was exposed when the National Enquirer was first to report that he was in a serious five-month relationship with Rachel Uchitel. The golfer has now been linked to at least 14 women during his marriage.”

Well isn’t that just lovely? I guess when you have more money than God you can just screw your life up as badly as you want to and pay absolutely no consequences. And I just have to say one more time that I am not buying the whole sex rehab thing. When did this become such a hot trend It seems that everyone now that’s caught with their pants down just goes to sex rehab because “they have a problem.” I think we all need to grow up a little bit and start taking responsibility for our actions. Maybe then marriages and such can actually be worked on in an honest manner.

And let’s face it, we all know that she’s staying with Tiger for the money. Which just makes me lose so much respect for her. Who else is going to stay after your husband has been with 14 women? And those are just the ones we know about! Can you imagine how many more there must have been that never came forward or were found out about?

I do think it’s a bit funny that Elin’s sister was photographed as “Elin” while Elin was visiting her gigolo in rehab. I mean, I feel badly for the woman that she couldn’t be left alone while she was babysitting but still, it’s always funny when the paps get it wrong.

Taylor Swift is a Heartbreaker for Sure!

Taylor Swift is a girl that knows how to get around. But the best thing about her is that, a sweeter girl you will not find. It’s part of that sweetness I’m sure, that is what makes men swoon over her as she leaves broken hearts in her trail. First she was seen out with John Mayer in Nashville. But there’s probably really nothing there. The two recorded a song together for Mayer’s last album so I’m sure things are friendly between them. But as for whether or not there’s a relationship there, I’m say probably, and thankfully, no. Even anonymous sources are saying that anything there is strictly platonic, and that Taylor and John are not dating. But don’t some of the most serious relationships start from friendship? Maybe there’s reason to be concerned after all. From People,

“It’s not all work for John Mayer, who is in Nashville and slated to film an upcoming episode of CMT’s Crossroads with Keith Urban Tuesday.

On Sunday, the rocker stepped out to dinner with Nashville resident – and good friend – Taylor Swift, at hot spot Cabana. The two, who recently recorded “Half of My Heart” for Mayer’s latest album Battle Studies, were joined by a group of about 15 friends and sat next to each other throughout the meal. But the gathering was friendly – and not romantic. “It looked like a big group of Nashville friends,” a source says of the group.”

But one person that Taylor Swift was romantically linked to is also back in her life. That is part boy-part werewolf, Taylor Lautner. Okay, Lautner only plays a werewolf in the Twilight saga but, he sure did seem to leave some sort of imprint on Taylor Swift. Rumors go that even though these two split up a couple of weeks ago, Lautner is still pretty smitten by Swift and hopes that they’ll be able to reunite when they have to get back to filming Valentine’s Day. That is going to be happening sooner rather than later, and Swift has already said that the two have already been in contact. From Digital Spy,

“Taylor Swift has reportedly revealed that she is still in touch with ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner.

The star, who apparently split from the Twilight star last month, has said that the pair still remain in touch with each other.

The 20-year-old told the News of the World: “Everybody sees my every move now. I’m seeing him next week to film more scenes for [forthcoming film] Valentine’s Day. We’re texting.

“I hope I never change the way I live my life just because everyone’s watching it.

“If I don’t want to be photographed doing something, then I probably shouldn’t do it.”

You just have to love a star that’s willing to be photographed, and actually takes full responsibility for whatever it is she’s being photographed doing. All too often celebrities whine about lack of privacy, without actually even acknowledging what those ‘evil’ photographers caught them doing. And it seems that she’s also realized that her life is different now. She’s famous, and people want to take her picture. And again, instead of crying about how hard that is, she truly loves it!

I don’t think Taylor is interested in either of these two boys. Because well, I think if she was she would just come right out and tell us. But I do think that Taylor Swift is definitely a Hollywood Heartbreaker. And these two are just the first in a line of many, many, many more.

Well Here’s an Entertaining Show for us All

What’s the first thing a celebrity couple does when it’s rumored they’re in trouble and they want to tell the world to stuff a sock in it? Go out very publicly and act all cuddly and loving. Of course, because a few kisses here and there should be proof enough for anyone. But that’s exactly what Brad and Angelina did on Saturday night when they attended the Directors Guild of America awards. Brad was there to give an award to Quentin Tarantino and he and Angie looked happy and secure all night long while people wretched in the aisles. From Radar Online,

“Putting break up rumors to rest, for now, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie attended the Directors Guild of America Awards together at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles last night.

Pitt, who was invited to present an award to his Inglourious Basterds director Quentin Tarantino, sprung a surprise when he walked in with Jolie.

And as if to make a statement, Brad played the doting husband throughout the evening as the couple mingled with the guests, exchanged laughter, cuddled and even gently caressed each other!

This was the first time Brangelina had been photographed together since a December outing in New York.

For more than a week, reports had suggested the couple were headed for an expensive and imminent separation, although spokespeople for the showbiz power couple denied the split.”

I’m not saying that this is definitely a farce that Brad and Angie are trying to pull over on us. But I’m not going to be fooled by a few cute little poses and some kisses for the camera. This last breakup story of theirs was enough to have me thinking that they were definitely going to split. I’m not sure why, just something about it rang very true. Maybe again, it was just far too much hope on my part. But I’m still going to need some further evidence that these two are happy and in love before I write them off as eternally bound forever again.
