Morning News: D.C.'s Lovin' Gay Families

Madeline Holler — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 13:00:00 GMT

The walls of intolerance appear to finally be crumbling. It even seems like states -- and non-states -- are scrambling to show gay families the love.

On the same day that Vermont became the fourth state to recognize gay marriage, the Washington, D.C. Council voted to do the same. The Council's vote is the first step in passing a big fat gay marriage bill, which is just really exciting (and shhhhh, don't tell the Mormons!). All of this comes a week after Iowa (Iowa!) approved gay marriage. Man, when Iowa says gay marriage ain't no thing, doesn't that make California slap it's forehead once or twice?

Oh, oh, and as if recognizing gay marriage wasn't enough (and it's not, actually), those crazy Obamas invited a bunch of gay families to participate in the annual Easter Egg Roll. They've set aside tickets just for gay and lesbian families as a part of their effort to "reach out." Of course, with all this support and recognition of gay and lesbian families, the whole my-two-moms thing is going to lose some of its cool. Huh. Progress.

Speaking of losing one's cool, a couple of Gisele Bundchen's body guards apparently fired shots at photographers during Bundchen and Tom Brady's wedding. Costa Rican police are investigating.

Think Tom Brady had to give Bundchen a gift just to get her to sleep with him? We ask, because the Telegraph is reporting on a new study that says chimps will have sex for gifts and of course, we mean logically!, it follows that women put out for trinkets wrapped in pretty boxes. Oh, female primates. We're so simple!

We can also detect body odor better than men. Were just sniffing out biological information, the story goes (and also looking for a cute new purse!).

In bad economy news, the Juilliard School's program for poor students has been drastically slashed. While 50 students will return for a second year in the fall, the school won't be holding auditions for a new incoming group. The program was held up as a national model and is suffering the fate of so many arts programs.

The death toll from Monday's earthquake in Italy just keeps going up. The latest number is 228 -- many are young children.

Over-Stepping Step Mom? Celebrity Baby Fued

Mike Adamick (Cry It Out!) — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 12:03:00 GMT

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen said recently that she felt her step-son with Tom Brady is "100 percent" her child.

Sweet, huh?

Well, the kid's mom -- actress Bridget Moynihan -- thinks otherwise. A friend of hers called the press, saying, "If Gisele loved Bridget's child like he was '100 percent her own,' then she would not talk about him in the press."

Usually I can ignore these celebrity spats, but this raises an interesting question: Just how close can, or should, a step mom be? Granted, not every stepmom statement is going to make the rounds in the international press. But I wonder, is this going too far?

Says the pal again, "Don't you think Jack will grow up and read her comments and find them disrespectful to him and his mother?"

I can see it a couple of ways. First, if my wife and I ever got divorced and she hooked up with some ~~douchebag~~ guy, I'd hope he'd treat my daughter as if she was his own. Then again, she's not. I'm her dad.

Hmmm, I'm still split. Did Gisele overstep or is that the role of a step-mom, to offer all you can?

They Say: Married Mothers are Floozies

Rachael Brownell (Redsy) — Fri, 02 May 2008 15:26:00 GMT

A recent Cookie Magazine/AOL survey found that over 30% of moms have had an affair since having children and over 50% have seriously considered extra-marital activities.

The three men women are most likely to fantasize about include...

George Clooney, Barack Obama, and Tom Brady (the latter indicates there's no accounting for taste).

Also interesting: while some moms would rather have sex than lose 10 pounds (29%), many women practice pity sex (69%), and over 60% say sex ranks at the bottom of their priority list.

Nearly 50% of the 30,000 women polled indicated that they suspected their husbands of either cheating currently or in the past.

Whatever happens to married couples after they have children, it's clear that some people turn to "outside help" when the going gets too tough.

Tom Brady on Fatherhood: "Holy Sh-t, I Have No Control"

Stefania Pomponi Butler (CityMama) — Tue, 29 May 2007 23:01:00 GMT

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, 29, is preparing for fatherhood with his ex, Bridget Moynihan, by trying to relax about it. Apparently it's not keeping him up at night. Then again, he's spending those nights with Giselle Bundchen now.

It's good to know (thanks to his PR machine), that he's at least thinking about being a father, because until now, we haven't heard him say word one about this baby. We do know that he dated Moynahan, 35, for three years before calling it quits in December. Back then she was newly pregnant and he was newly dating the Brazilian model.

Says Brady in the latest issue of Details:

"I want to prepare for it the way I do everything else in my life. I make lists. I make plans. But being a father is different. "It's going to be a challenge. I guess that late at night, I'm not so much scared as thinking of it as a huge unknown."

Huge unknown, for sure. But what is known is that the child will need love and support, oh, and spending time with dad might be nice. But that's already on your list, right, Tom?

Tom Brady is Going to be a Daddy: Twice

Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 17:24:00 GMT

Oh Tom Brady, when will you learn about condoms? First Bridget Moynahan and now Gisele is pregnant (allegedly)?

It is almost like having Irish twins. With different mothers. These babies will be less than nine months apart in age. Is Brady trying to start a new super race? The Brady Bunch? (I'm sorry. I couldn't stop myself.)

Just think, if Brady were to get three more famous beautiful women pregnant he could make his own super model basketball team. I hope that the New England Patriots have good maternity insurance.

Bridget Moynahan Preggers with Ex-Boyfriend Tom Brady's Baby

Stefania Pomponi Butler (CityMama) — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 17:01:00 GMT

Bridget Moynahan's "people" have announced that the 35-year-old actress is three months pregnant with her first child. Dad is New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady whom she broke up with three months ago. (Break-up sex is a tricky thing.) She is reported to be "healthy and excited."

Also "healthy and excited" is Tom Brady, 29. He's been romancing model Giselle Bundchen since before Christmas. They are currently in Paris where this weekend they caught an equestrian horse show and wined and dined at Giselle's favorite restaurant.

People has the full scoop.
