Being married to the one of the world’s most revered supermodels comes with a few perks. Tom Brady — known in fashion circles as “Mr. Gisele Bundchen” — is best known for his skills with a pigskin, but that doesn’t mean the New England Patriots quarterback doesn’t have some style advice for his fellow athletes.
And he’s sharing them in the December issue of GQ Magazine, on newsstands Nov. 24.
“I see so many guys, really athletic guys, wearing [pleated pants],” the star told GQ, who selected Tom as one of a half-dozen Men of the Year. “I just shake my head. Like, Tiger Woods used to wear pleated pants! I’m like, ‘C’mon, Tiger!’”

UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar is critically ill with an undisclosed aliment that could keep him out of the MMA ring for several months, USA TODAY reported on Sunday.

Since retired Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa showed up to the Latin Grammys last week looking like an understudy for Brad Pitt, the entertainment world has been abuzz with speculation and debate about the Domincan athlete’s new lighter complexion.
“Is Sammy sick?” some asked. Does he suffer from a skin condition, like vitiligo perhaps? Maybe he’s a victim of the body dysmorphia that plagues thousands of people? Sammy attributes his unrecognizable transformation to a new “moisturizing” cream he’s thinking of endorsing. Former basketball forward and colorful commentator Charles Barkley added his voice to the discussion during a TNT doubleheader on Thursday night.
“I know you want to get in the Hall Of Fame but going white ain’t the way to go…” said Charles Barkley, who then got white paint applied to his face on air because he’s tired of getting stopped when he’s driving his fast car around town. Barkley and cast tried to visualize what it would look like if both he and colleague Kenny Smith were to turn white.
“Seriously, I love chitlin’s…. I’m telling y’all, though, if I was white for a couple of minutes, I’d be missing some chitlin’s and hamhocks already. What about honey buns and grape and coke?” Charles quipped. Then they switch to a clip of Sammy done up like the infamous Joker, complete with red lips.
“Sammy Sosa, you know I got love for you, man, Stop it! Stop It, Sammy Sosa! Are you kidding me?”
Brooke Hundley, the ex-mistress of ESPN’s Steve Phillips, turned on the waterworks in an exclusive interview with ABC’s Good Morning America Thursday.

Brooke — who stalked Steve’s kids through Facebook and showed up uninvited to the family’s home — wants to explain why she sent the oblivious mom a cryptic four-page letter detailing her affair with the former ESPN sports analyst and his private parts.
In an ad that gives new meaning to the phrase “tight end,” Atlanta Falcons star Tony Gonzalez and his wife October promote their vegan lifestyle and the latest round of PETA’s provocative “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign.
This six-time Pro Bowl and NFL Hall of Famer hopes to raise awareness about the treatment of animals who are killed for their fur.
Sammy Sosa says a cosmetic cream he uses to soften his skin is the reason he was recently photographed with a noticeably whiter face.
The former Cubs slugger showed up with bleached skin at the Latin Recording Academy Person of The Year event in honor of Juan Gabriel in Las Vegas last Wednesday night. In an interview on the Univision Spanish network this week, Sosa blamed a facial blend he uses for moisture for his lighter skin tone. He says he has been using the cream for a long time, and combined with bright TV lights, it made his face look whiter than it really is. Read the rest of this entry »
On Wednesday, TODAY’s Meredith Vieira chatted with Grand Slam-winning tennis legend Andre Agassi about his legacy, his shortlived marriage to Brooke Shields, and his addiction to crystal meth.

Love is a battlefield, folks — even when you’re famous! NBA star Shaquille O’Neal and his wife of six years are headed for Divorce Court. Shaunie O’Neal filed for legal separation for the 7-foot-1 star on Monday, PEOPLE Magazine reported this afternoon. The bombshell comes two years after the NBA start first started divorce proceedings.
Shaq and Shaunie split in September 2007 amid allegations that Shaunie was sleeping with her personal trainer and being secretive about her monetary assets. The couple reunited in August 2008 and vowed to work through their problems. But their efforts have not been successful, according to papers filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday.
Shaunie and the couple’s four children have abandoned the family’s Florida home and relocated to California, where she will likely have an easier time securing spousal support, PEOPLE reports. She is also seeking child support as well as legal and physical custody of their children. Shaq and Shaunie would have celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary in December.
