Tom Brady : New England Patriots NFL

Mini Biography

Tom Brady was born on August 3, 1977 in San Mateo, California. He attended Junipero Serra High School, the same high school which produced Barry Bonds of the SF Giants. He attended the University of Michigan from 1995 to 1999. He was a backup to Brian Griese when the Wolverines went 12-0 and won the national championship in 1997. Brady shared the starting quarterback job with Drew Henson in 1998 and 1999, but managed to compile a 20-5 record over those two years, including a 2-0 record in bowl games. The New England Patriots made him a sixth round draft choice in 2000, the 199th player selected overall in the draft. He spent 2000 as a fourth string quarterback behind Drew Bledsoe, John Friesz and Michael Bishop. In 2001, Brady was elevated to second string quarterback behind Bledsoe as training camp broke. The fortunes for both Brady and the Patriots changed forever on September 23, 2001, as Bledsoe was hit hard by New York Jet linebacker "Mo Lewis", suffering a near life-threatening injury. Brady replaced Bledsoe in the contest, and has started every Patriot game at quarterback since. Bledsoe was never able to regain his starting job, as Brady led the Patriots on an 11-3 run to close the 2001 regular season, then led the Patriots through the playoffs and an improbable 20-17 win over the St. Louis Rams, a 14-point favorite, in Super Bowl XXXVI. After an ordinary 2002 season, Brady skippered the Patriots to one of the greatest seasons in NFL history in 2003. The Patriots began the season 2-2, then won every remaining regular season and playoff game, capped off by a 32-29 win over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII. Brady followed that up with a second consecutive Super Bowl appearance in 2004, as the Patriots once again went 14-2 in the regular season and defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, 24-21 in Super Bowl XXXIX. Brady is 9-0 all-time in the playoffs in his career following Super Bowl XXXIX. In the first two Super Bowls he has played in, Brady was named the Super Bowl MVP, becoming one of only four players in NFL history to win this award more than once. Brady is 48-14 as a starting Patriot quarterback going into the 2005 season. His poise as well as his penchant for playing with incredible cool and precision in big games is drawing comparisons with the great Joe Montana, former SF 49ers quarterback.

Eva Mendes, Ryan Gosling spotted together on a Hike


The alleged new romantic couple Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling have been spotted together enjoying their romantic stroll on a hike in Los Angeles.


The co-stars of ‘Place Beyond the Pines’, Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are having great time together, as they were spotted enjoying a stroll on the grounds of Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles on September 18, 2011. Ryan is busy promoting his two of his films and also filming another movie opposite Emma Stone. But, it seems that, it is not at all bothering Ryan to take out his time for Eva Mendes.


The 30-year-old ‘Drive’ star was looking casual in jeans and a dark blue polo shirt, clutching a book in his hand, walking alongside 37-year-old ‘The Ghost Rider’ star Eva, who was dressed in a blue mini dress and yellow sandals. She did not opt for the shoes, which could be apt for the dirt road. She was walking slowly and Ryan did not look to be bothered with her slow pace. However, the new alleged couple looked very happy together. Gosling is busy filming his forthcoming flick ‘The Gangster Squad’ in Los Angeles.


The new couple was spotted enjoying their romantic hike, after they have been spotted hugging and kissing, during their date at Disneyland in Anaheim, two weeks ago. During their Disneyland date, she was leaning into him and even held his arm. It was also reported that, Eva even fed him. Besides, it was suggested that, Ryan has been visiting her very often and the couple also enjoyed several quiet nights with their casual strolls in Los Feliz, the neighborhood of Eva and enjoyed delivery food.






Beyonce: "I hate Jay-Z's fragrance"

Singer admits pregnancy is playing havoc with her sense of smell

She recently announced that she is expecting her first child with rapper Jay-Z, but despite looking forward to motherhood Beyonce Knowles admits pregnancy has one major drawback - she can't stand her hubby's fragrance.

The 30-year old singer - currently promoting her Beyonce Pulse perfume - has been giving Jay's Rocawear scent the thumbs down over recent weeks because her newfound pregnancy has been playing havoc with her sense of smell.

"Oh! My nose is like 'doot, doot, doot'! I smell everything!", she told Hello Beautiful. "It enhances it. If it smells bad, I smell it! My husband's fragrance, his one that I always love, I hate right now. So, thank God I love this one."

Beyonce broke the news of her pregnancy at the MTV Video Music Awards in September, and she admits the idea to announce it so publicly came to her in her sleep.

"You know, I dreamt it, actually," she told Access Hollywood. "There were so many rumors about me being pregnant every three months for the past couple of years - I thought the best way and classiest way was to just show it.

"And my husband and I have been together for 10 years, so I guess people felt a part of it and it makes me feel really good."









Angelina Jolie Prepares To Play Cleopatra

Angelina Jolie Prepares To Play Cleopatra


Angelina Jolie is preparing to play Cleopatra in the big screen. It was one of the late Elizabeth Taylor’s most famous roles.


“My performance will never be as lovely as Elizabeth’s. We are trying to get into a different truth about her as a pharaoh in history and not as a sex symbol, because she really wasn’t. Even this idea of her having many lovers – it was possible that it was only two. She is very interesting, but she wasn’t a great beauty.”


We first heard about this project a while ago (much to some people’s dismay), so I’m glad to hear they’re making progress! I’m excited to see Angelina as Cleopatra. How about you?
