Just like the title says, Ashley Tisdale, Kaley Cuoco, Keri Hilson and Bridget Moynahan have all stripped nude for the new issue of Allure Magazine. They also gave their thoughts on stripping down for the magazine, here is what they all had to say:
Ashley Tisdale:“I’ve always wanted to be sure my parents approve of what I do, even with my tattoos, my mom went with me. The ‘believe’ tattoo is because my mom always told me to believe. I’m 25, almost 26, but people think of me as much younger because I look young. Being in this shoot was me saying, ‘I’m not just the young girl everybody thinks I am. I’m actually a woman.’”
Kaley Cuoco: “I have not told my family about this, and I’ll tell you why: Until they see the photos, they won’t understand. All a mother or father hears is the word ‘naked.’ When I told my mom about the shoot, I left out the part about taking my clothes off.” The 25-year-old star of The Big Bang Theory says of her preparation for the shoot, “My obsession is yoga, so I was already yogi-ing it every day,” she says. “And I did veggies, raw food, and egg whites. So boring!” She was surprised by her own lack of shyness. “I was way more excited than I ever thought I would be. Which made me realize, I’m more comfortable in my own skin than I thought.”
Keri Hilson: “The transition to being in front of the camera was very, very difficult, everyone has their idea of what you should look like. ‘You need to get into the gym.’ ‘You need to wear less clothes.’ ‘Wear dresses and skirts.’ ‘Put a weave in.’ ‘Cut your hair.’ ‘Color your hair.’ There are so many ways that others tug at you. We do a lot of things to seek validation: I have to get more expensive handbags or fake lashes or fake boobs. This shoot was about dropping all that.”
Bridget Moynahan: “Mostly whether things were getting squashed in the wrong way, you know you’re going to have good lighting and positioning to help your body out. I never roam around in bikinis, and I am only naked in the privacy of my own home. In this electronic age, it’s not safe to be naked anywhere else, even in locker rooms. I’ve been in the business a long time, so it didn’t really faze me. I was completely comfortable.”
Marriage and step-motherhood have come naturally to Gisele Bündchen – who in February wed New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, 18 months after his former girlfriend, model-actress Bridget Moynahan, gave birth to Brady’s child, John Edward Thomas Moynahan.
“It was definitely a surprise for both of us,” the supermodel, 28, tells Leslie Bennetts for Vanity Fair’s May issue. Yet the baby’s arrival in their lives, Bündchen insists, has not detracted from her bliss. In fact, little John Edward has contributed to it.
“In the beginning you’re living this romantic fantasy; you’re thinking, This can’t be true, it’s so good! And then, Whoops – wake-up call!”
Should She Leave?
The rude awakening came 2½ months after she had met Brady through a friend in late 2006, when she was instantly attracted to him thanks to his charismatic smile, she says. With Moynahan’s news, however, “[I]t was a very challenging situation,” says Bündchen. “Obviously, in the beginning, it’s not the ideal thing.”
“You question at times – ‘Should I stay here? Maybe you should work this out. But when people break up, it’s for a reason.”
In the end, working with Brady to deal with the baby, “was a blessing, because otherwise I don’t think I would have known what he was made of, and he wouldn’t have known what I was made of,” she says, noting his integrity and “the way he was a good person through all the times. I was like, You have the heart in a good place! It made me feel more in love with him; it made me realize who he was.”
Strengthened Relationship
As a result, says the new bride, who, with Brady, is due to celebrate their marriage with family and friends in Costa Rica this Friday, “Our relationship has become so much stronger, and I think I wouldn’t be as certain as I am today if it weren’t for that.”
What makes Brady perfect for her, says Bündchen, the world’s highest paid supermodel, is:
“He’s very close to his family. He’s Catholic. His parents have been married 40 years. He’s got a pure heart. That’s all that matters – he’s got the purest heart. I feel grateful because I have a lot of love in my life. I found the person I’m sharing my life with. I have a good man.”
Because it’s Monday morning, and we can all use a little pick me up. Here’s Gisele Bundchen at the beach in Miami over the weekend. Yeah, she’s not hot at all. I don’t know why Bridget Moynahan would be jealous that Tom Brady is dating her.
Bridget Moynahan split from her NFL beau and baby JET’s father, Tom Brady last December, but he an appearance when she gave birth in California on August 22. He even spent a few days with mother and son, before hightailing it to Boston to be with his girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen.
The new mom declined to be interviewed, but OK! reports that she is facing single motherhood with an optimistic outlook. Even though she has a development deal with ABC, the actress plans to put her career on hold.

As if the relationship between Tom Brady and baby mama Bridget Moynahan wasn’t strained enough, Gisele Bundchen had to go shopping for the baby and make it even worse.
Tom recently phoned in an order at Petit Tresor, after which Gisele made her own order. Included in the $1,000 gift basket was a onesie that says “supermodel” across it. Because that’s what will melt the ice standing between the trio.
What others are saying:
NY Daily News says, “Anybody who needs some posh presents for a new baby might want to check the trash outside Bridget Moynahan ‘s house. I have a feeling there’s some great stuff in there.”
Celebrity Smack says, “Every time she sees that little onesie she’ll think about the bitch that stole her man. Ouch.”
dlisted says, “That will make a lovely dust rag for Bridge and just what a little boy needs to broadcast to the world. GAY!”
Actress Bridget Moynahan announced the name of her and Tom Brady’s son, John Edward Thomas Moynahan. She said Brady arrived in Los Angeles in time for the child’s birth last week.
“Bridget is very thankful for a happy baby, excited about being a mother, and very pleased that the father, Tom Brady, was able to be there for the birth.” publicist Gary Mantoosh said. “Both mother and baby are at home, happy and healthy,”
Mantoosh didn’t give any other details, including the size of the baby or whether Thomas was in honor of his father. But reportedly, Tom left thinking the last name was going to be Brady, not Moynahan.
Tom also supposedly wanted to take time off for the baby, but only missed practice when the time came. He flew to California then returned for a preseason game.
Moynahan and Brady split up late last year after a three-year relationship, and Brady has since been dating supermodel Gisele Bundchen.
Rough life Tom’s got going on. He had to leave quarterbacking the Patriots to have a child with Bridget Moynahan and then go home to Gisele. Not to mention he’s pretty poor and unattractive.

Even though Tom Brady was looking to ask for some time off from the Patriots, it looks like he won’t have to miss any regular season games. Bridget Moynahan gave birth to a baby boy Wednesday.
Moynahan’s publicist Christina Papadapoulos said, “Both mother and baby are doing well.”
Brady’s whereabouts were unknown. He wasn’t on the field or sidelines for the first 15 minutes of practice on Wednesday, and it’s not clear when he’ll rejoin the team. It may not be before the Pats’ third preseason game against the Carolina Panthers.
Tom Brady is a busy man – he’s dating Gisele Bundchen, has photo shoots all the time, and quarterbacks the New England Patriots. Oh, and he’s having a baby with Bridget Moynahan. And while most dads to be get some kind of paternity leave, it’s a little more difficult when you’re in the NFL. That’s not stopping Tom Brady from asking for some time off when the baby is born.
“I hope so,” Brady, 30, said Monday, noting that he’ll need the approval of coach Bill Belichick in the face of his team’s upcoming busy schedule.
“Bill has a lot to say,” Brady acknowledged, according to the Associated Press, “so we’ll deal with it when it happens.”
With the first regular season game slated for September 9 against the New York Jets, Bridget better have that baby pretty soon or fans in Boston, and fantasy owners, could get pretty angry at Brady.
As for asking for personal time off, he said: “Certainly, a lot of people make sacrifices for their family, and I’m dealing with a certain situation, a very joyous, happy situation. And some people have dealt with death in the past and that’s incredibly difficult.”
Chimed in Coach Belichick: “[Personal situations] are all talked about and dealt with on an individual basis. It doesn’t matter who the player is. There are plenty that have come up through the course of the year. I’ll deal with them like I do all of them.”
If a Brazilian web site is to be believed, Tom Bradyhas done it again. Only difference, this time its a super model.
As recounted by the Boston Globe, the web site Glamurama.com.br says Bundchen is “no more than two months pregnant, but may already have told select friends and family.” It’s good to know she can trust those select friends and family members to keep their mouths shut.
If true, this would, of course, be the second Brady girlfriend to get pregnant in the last few months, following closely on the heels of the pregnancy of former girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
Bundchen previously told Vanity Fair, “I’d be lying if I said [I didn't want a family] — my parents have been married for 35 years and have six children,” she said. “Thing is, I’m just 26 years old, so I have plenty of time.” Maybe less time than she thought.
IN OTHER NEWS: Somewhere… while eating dinner, Leonardo DiCaprio just choked on a piece of steak.
The New York Post’s Liz Smith reports today that actress Bridget Moynahan is expecting, and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is the father.
Moynahan, 36, is more than three months along and “healthy and excited” about the impending arrival, said her spokeswoman, Christina Padadopoulos.
She and Brady dated for two years before breaking up in December.
There doesn’t seem to be much hope of reconciliation, as Brady is now dating Victoria’s Secret model Gisele Bundchen. Bundchen seems to have Brady pretty well under wraps. Let’s hope all is well with Moynahan; there had been rumors that she was dieting to keep up with Bundchen.
