Lilly Pulitzer's Celeb Studded Jubilee Collection

LilSugar — Fri, 08 May 2009 04:00:16 -0700

Preppy chic never goes out of style and after 50 years of "Palm Beach" socialite design, Lilly Pulitzer is celebrating its golden jubilee with some of our favorite mamas. The company worked with nine celebrity moms to create "Mommy and Me" looks for bathing suits, tunics, dresses and tops featuring the design house's famed patterned prints. Perfect for Mother's Day, or Summer picnics, the garments reflect Lilly Pulitzer's classic silhouettes.

Among the famous mommies involved in the collection are Gwyneth Paltrow (whose bathing suits are featured here), Brooke Shields, Angie Harmon, Bridget Moynahan, Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon, Marcia Cross and Debra Messing. A portion of the Mommy and Me collection sales will benefit EBMRF, a non-profit organization devoted to finding the cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa, a rare skin condition.

Was Gisele Bundchen Out of Line in VF or Is Bridget Moynahan's Camp Overreacting?

Molly — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 11:00:36 -0700

Gisele Bundchen made headlines earlier this week when she was quoted in Vanity Fair about how connected she feels to Tom Brady's son, Jack. Today, a close friend of Tom's ex and Jack's mother Bridget Moynahan struck back. An excerpt from the statement is below, as well as Gisele's original quote, but the Moynahan camp took the chance to call out both Tom and Gisele's behavior. Check out both sides:

Gisele originally said: "I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me it's not like because somebody else delivered him, that's not my child. I feel it is, 100 percent. 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. I already feel like he's my son, from the first day."
Bridget's camp responds: "If Gisele loved Bridget's child like he was '100 percent her own,' then she would not talk about him in the press. Discretion and respect are not either of Gisele or Tom's virtues, as was evidenced even when the child was still unborn and they publicly flaunted their relationship without any discretion whatsoever. Don't you think Jack will grow up and read her comments and find them disrespectful to him and his mother? If Tom is such a great father as everyone likes to say, then you would think that he'd respect the privacy of his young child and would ask his wife not to use his son as a publicity prop and a subject of public discussion. Is she so desperate for attention that she can't find anything more productive to talk about other than Bridget's child?"

While the situation is not black or white, tell us - do you think Gisele was out of line or that Bridget's camp is overreacting?

Family Ties: When Stepmother Treats Child As Her Own

LilSugar — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 08:00:00 -0700

Most mamas are fiercely protective of their children and things are no different in Tinseltown. Actress Bridget Moynahan is proud of her lil man, John Moynahan, who is the fruit of her former relationship with quarterback, Tom Brady. Brady's wife, model Gisele Bundchen, is often seen toting the tot around town and recently vocalized her motherly instincts toward the 19-month-old. She told Vanity Fair:

"I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me it’s not like because somebody else delivered him, that’s not my child. I feel it is, 100 percent. 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. I already feel like he’s my son, from the first day."

If someone said this about your biological child would you feel threatened that she was teetering on your territory or thrilled that another woman could love your youngster so much?

Why Did Gisele Say That Bridget Moynahan's Baby Was "100 Percent" Hers?

GiggleSugar — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 13:10:00 -0700

Vanity Fair recently profiled Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, and she made a pretty odd comment regarding her husband Tom Brady's child with his ex, Bridget Moynahan. "I understand that he has a mom," she said about Bridget and Tom's son, "and I respect that. But to me, it's not like because somebody else delivered him, that's not my child - I feel it is, 100 percent."

Before handing the mic over to Cooper, Ben spoke about the Congo, a cause close to his heart and about which he wrote for Time magazine this week. When Ben stepped off the stage, he found a special surprise waiting back at his seat - Jennifer Garner snuck in to watch him and give him kisses at the table before ducking out 20 minutes later. The Madden brothers also came out for the good cause as did Marisa Tomei, who has an exciting weekend ahead as an Oscar Nominee.

This Just In: Tom Brady Drops Major Cash on Empty Lot

CasaSugar — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:00:58 -0700

It seems as if Tom Brady isn't shy about taking real-estate risks. Since he sold his Boston condo way back in February (at a loss), he's ready to move on to other high-priced real estate dealings. This time, Brady is heading west to California.

The quarterback, who's equally well known as Gisele Bundchen's boyfriend, has bought a three-acre lot in Brentwood, just down the street from California governator Arnold Schwarzenegger. How much money did Brady spend on his lot? According to TMZ, over $11 million.

To find out more about the property, read more.

Given the tough real-estate market in California, where foreclosure rates have jumped a staggering 261 percent, this is a gutsy move. Since the mansion Brady will build on the property will run into the tens of millions at least, this is a substantial investment. Apparently, Brady took out a mortgage of $8.225 million, which he will pay back over five years. According to an anonymous source, the California move was predicated on Brady's desire to move closer to his child, though this claim is refuted by a source connected with the child's mother, Bridget Moynahan. Ah, the gossip-heavy world of celebrity real estate! I'm not a big fan of the he-said-she-said scuttlebutt, but I am certainly envious of anyone who can pay off an $8 million mortgage in five years!

When Cartier throws a party, you can bet some of Hollywood's finest ladies happily come running. The stars were out in LA last night at the latest Cartier Love Bracelet launch. Hilary Duff brought her boyfriend Mike Comrie, while her ex - which is definitely a good thing - Joel had Nicole by his side. While I'm sure there was no drama there, still a little bit interesting to see them all together. Meanwhile, Fergie was happy to kick up her heels and just enjoy the gorgeous bling.

Which Last Name Should a Lil One Have?

LilSugar — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 08:00:21 -0700

Traditionally, a woman took her husband's surname and their offspring followed suit. But, these days all different combinations of people make up families and that is reflected in the variety of options that parents have when choosing their child's last name. Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani went old school when they named their son. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie combined their monikers with a hyphen for their mini mes. And, Bridget Moynahan gave her babe middle names for his father, Tom Brady, but made him a Moynahan.

Bridget Moynahan Is in Love with a Much Younger Man

LilSugar — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:00:02 -0700

Do mothers really dress like this? Actress Bridget Moynahan who is perhaps more famous for being NFL star Tom Brady's baby mama has gone model in the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar. The svelte single mommy to 9-month-old, John (Jack) is the subject of a sexy pictorial that has the siren pushing a stroller and packing groceries, whisking batter in stilettos and leaning cribside in lingerie. While the shots scream adult playdate rather than multitasking mother of one, the accompanying interview sheds light on the woman who became tabloid fodder when she announced her pregnancy hot on the heels of her public break-up from the New England Patriot's quarterback. She said:

“Going through that traumatic time of being heartbroken and then being pregnant turned my whole life upside down and inside out and just knocked the wind out of me,” says Moynahan. “But I got so much out of that. It’s golden and it’s tough and it was f*cked up. But now I have a child, and it’s the best thing in the world.”

While raising babe alone isn't the easiest of undertakings, it certainly has its rewards. The article said:

“I have become that mother I used to dread,” Moynahan admits, shamelessly enumerating the things that Jack has been doing lately. As of press time, they included clapping, crawling, and standing up. “Every time he does something, you think he’s a genius.” She pauses and deadpans, “He’s totally a genius.”
