==Gisele Bundchen Biography==
Gisele Caroline Bundchen ( born July 20, 1980 in Horizontina, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) is a Brazilian model, occasional film actress and goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Environment Program. According to Forbes, she is the highest-paid model in the world and also the sixteenth richest woman in the entertainment world, with an estimated $150 million fortune.

==Family and early life==
Bundchen was born in the Brazilian town of Tres de Maio and grew up in Horizontina, Rio Grande do Sul, to Vania Nonnenmacher, a bank clerk pensioner, and Valdir Bundchen, a university teacher and writer. She has five sisters - Raquel, Graziela, Gabriela, Rafaela and her fraternal twin Patrícia, Gisele's junior by five minutes. Bundchen is Roman Catholic and speaks Portuguese as her native language. She also speaks Spanish and English.

- I was born in Horizontina, a town in the backcountry of (Brazilian) state Rio Grande do Sul. The town was once mainly colonized by Germans. In the school which I attended, learning German was actually obligatory from third grade on. But being out of touch with the language for such a long time, I unfortunately forgot it. I belong to the sixth generation of my family in Brazil.

==Modeling career==
Originally, Bundchen wanted to be a professional volleyball player and considered playing for the Brazilian team, Sogipa. While in school, Bundchen was so thin that her friends used to call her "Olivia Palito" (Portuguese for Olive Oyl, Popeye's skinny girlfriend) and "Saracura" (a type of Brazilian shorebird).

In 1993, a then-13-year-old Bundchen joined a modeling course with her sisters Patrícia and Gabriela at her mother's insistence.The following year, Bundchen went to Sao Paulo on a school excursion to give them an opportunity to walk in a big city. In a shopping mall, while eating at McDonald's with her friends, Bundchen was discovered by a modeling agency. She was subsequently selected for a national contest, Elite Look of the Year, in which she placed second Claudia Menezes, from Bahia, took first place. Bundchen placed fourth in the world contest, held in Ibiza, Spain. In 1996, Bundchen moved to New York City usa to begin her modeling career, debuting at Fashion Week.


Gisele Bundchen on the Fashion Rio Inverno 2006, January 30, 2006. Her debut on the cover of the July 1999 issue of Vogue magazine, and the accompanying editorial entitled "The Return of the Sexy Model", is widely viewed as marking the end of the fashion's "heroin chic" era. She graced the cover again in November and December of that year. She won the VH1/Vogue Model of the Year for 1999, and a January 2000 cover gave her the rare honor of three consecutive Vogue covers. In 2000, she became the fourth model to appear on the cover of the music magazine Rolling Stone, when she was named "the most beautiful girl in the world." Bundchen has been on the covers of many top fashion magazines including W, Harper's Bazaar, ELLE, Allure, international editions of Vogue, as well as style and lifestyle publications such as i-D, The Face, Arena, Citizen K, Flair, GQ, Esquire, and Marie Claire. She has been featured both in the Pirelli Calendar 2001 and 2006 and in broader market publications such as Time, Vanity Fair, Forbes, Newsweek and Veja, more than 500 magazine covers throughout the world.

Bundchen consistently works with acclaimed photographers such as Mario Testino, Steven Meisel, Nick Knight, Mert and Marcus, Rankin, Annie Leibovitz, Karl Lagerfeld, Peter Lindbergh, David LaChapelle, Mario Sorrenti, Nino Munoz and Patrick Demarchelier, and with renowned directors such as Jean Baptiste Mondino and Bruno Aveillan.

Claudia Schiffer said: "Supermodels, like we once were, don't exist any more" and reckoned that Gisele Bundchen was the only one close to earning the supermodel title.

Naomi Campbell said: "Models need to earn their stripes - I just think the term is used a little too loosely. Kate Moss is obviously a supermodel but, after Gisele, I don’t think there’s been one."

On August 26, 2008, the New York Daily News, in a list, named Bundchen the fourth-most-powerful person in the fashion world.

On May 12, 2009, The Independent, called her the biggest star in fashion history.

Super Bowl 2012: Gisele Bundchen defends husband Tom Brady, slams Patriots receivers

Super Bowl 2012: Gisele Bundchen defends husband Tom Brady, slams Patriots receivers : 

Supermodel tried to cheer up her QB husband, but had a few harsh words for his teammates

Gisele Bundchen comforted husband Tom Brady after the Patriots' Super Bowl  loss to the Giants 21-17.

DO THE PATRIOTS tell her how to catwalk ?
Mrs. Tom Brady traded her stiletto heels for a coach's clipboard during a post-Super Bowl tirade Sunday night, blaming her hubby's teammates for the loss to the Giants.
Shortly after Brady and the Patriots lost out to Eli Manning and the Giants 21-17, the quarterback was reportedly spotted just sitting and staring at the floor of the Patriots locker room in shock for nearly 20 minutes.
Bundchen, on the other hand, was seen stalking moodily away from the stadium to meet him with an entourage trailing behind her in a video obtained by TheInsider.com.
When fans heckled the supermodel, crying out "Eli rules!" and "Eli owns your husband," Bundchen kept a tight smile on her face and kept walking.

But while waiting for the elevator, she could keep in her frustrations no longer.
"You have to catch the ball when you're supposed to catch the ball," she said angrily to those around her.
"My husband cannot f--king throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can't believe they dropped the ball so many times."
GISELE AND THE REST OF THE PATRIOTS AND GIANTS WAGS
In the last moments of the game, Brady had attempted a Hail Mary pass to a waiting Aaron Hernandez in the end zone, but it was swatted away by the Giants.
But by the time Bundchen, 31, met up with Brady, her focus was less on bashing the Patriot receivers who failed to connect with the ball Sunday and more on cheering up a gloomy Brady.
The couple embraced as Bundchen whispered words of encouragement to her husband of nearly two years.
But Bundchen definitely had Pats receiver and Super Bowl goat Wes Welker in mind when she made the choice remark. He dropped a crucial pass from Brady with four minutes left to play in the game.

After the tirade, Beantown blogs lit up, bashing the supermodel for her profanity and the Monday morning quarterbacking.

“Not cool to curse at people and even WORSE to criticize your husband’s teammates in public,” wrote one commenter on Boston.com.

Other New England fans blamed her for the loss.
“Maybe she is the reason he hasn’t won a Super Bowl since hooking up with her!” wrote one fan.

And some just resorted to personal attacks.
“Supermodel? No she is a Supertramp!” wrote another New England fan.

Meanwhile, Brady’s teammates kept quiet about Bundchen’s tongue-lashing. Pats wide receiver Chad Ochocinco even posted a photo on his Twitter feed of him mugging with her after the game.

Patriots spokesman Stacey James just shook his head when asked to comment about the supermodel’s bad-mouthing.

But Pats defensive back James Ihedigbo rushed to Welker’s defense.
“You can’t point fingers at anybody. Wes made amazing plays all season,” he said. “You win it as a team; you win it and lose it as a team. And we lost to a good football team.."

Gisele's Suggestive Lingerie Causes Political Uproar

Gisele's Suggestive Lingerie Causes Political Uproar:
Don't use your charm, Brazilian women. No matter what your leading supermodel tells you.


A series of suggestive commercials for her new Hope underwear line cut by Gisele Bundchen have left women in the Brazilian government none too pleased, the Guardian relays, with officials calling for the ads to be pulled off the air.


Their gripe? The spots suggest that the Victoria's Secret Angel and money-printing model is causing all sorts of trouble, from crashing cars to spending gobs of cash, and then -- clad in Hope's underwear -- is coming onto her husband in an effort to get him to forget about the transgressions.


"You're a Brazilian woman – use your charm," a voiceover says, presumably urging other Brazilian women to cause major damage and then wear their underwear to patch it all up. Not a message the aforementioned legislators think needs to be sent to a country that, less than a year ago, elected its first female president.


"The campaign promotes the misguided stereotype of a woman as a sexual object of her husband and ignores the major advances we have achieved in deconstructing sexist practices and thinking," a statement put out by officials read.


That the line is causing controversy is impressive; it was only launched last week. "Life is made of dreams and I'm very happy to announce that now you will know the Brazilian intimate. My dream come true is for Hope," Bündchen said in a statement that probably made a lot more sense in Portugese.


One possible theory: perhaps those upset with the ads are just taking out their frustration about Bündchen's husband Tom Brady losing his long, flowing mane?
