"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."

Gisele's Comments On Stepson Turn Heads

This time, all eyes are on her because of comments she made to Vanity Fair magazine, saying she feels her stepson is all hers. The boy is the son of Bündchen's husband, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, and his former girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan.

In the latest issue of the magazine, Bündchen reveals that she knows the boy, named John Edward Thomas Moynahan, has a mother and she respects that, but it doesn't matter that Bündchen didn't actually give birth to him, because Bündchen still feels like he's her son.

In her own words, "To me, it's not like, because somebody delivered him, that's not my child -- I feel like it is, 100 percent."

Brady and Moynahan dated for about two years before calling it quits. Shortly after their split, the actress announced she was pregnant with the quarterback's child.
Dr. Robi Ludwig, a psychologist and contributing editor for Cookie magazine, tells Early Show co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez that, while the supermodel's intentions are good, there could be room for misinterpretation.

"It sounds like she considers herself maybe a mom replacement," she tells Rodriguez. "And that's a no-no in the stepmother role."

Ludwig advises Bündchen and other stepmothers not to try to replace the biological mother, but to instead be a "substitute, wonderful adult" in the child's life. Ideally, she adds, the two mothers should try to have some sort of relationship because, if children sense competition between the two, it may be disruptive for them. "They feel they need to make a choice," she says.

But having a relationship with the biological mother doesn't mean the two must become friends -- Ludwig says that can be difficult, especially in a case such as Bündchen and Moynahan's. But the goal is to develop a relationship that leads to a happy family life for all involved, in which everyone has a role and can get along.

Another way to reach that goal is was Ludwig calls including each other in the "family ritual," giving examples such as having both mothers attend a parent-teacher conference, a soccer game, or holiday celebrations.

"I think people need to think out of the box when creating family life for stepfamilies and including everybody," she said. "There's a place for everyone if you can think clearly and not be competitive."

However, she stresses that these relationships aren't easy.

"We have these images of 'The Brady Bunch' or 'The Sound of Music'…where it's instant soup, and it's not like that at all," she tells Rodriguez. "These relationships take time, and hopefully they're for a lifetime so that they change as the years go on."

Attended by such illustrious supporters as Nelson Mandela and director Spike Lee, the Johannesburg school was opened in January 2007; An event which Oprah declared to be the proudest moment of her life. Her vision for the school was typically clear; 450 gifted girls from poor local families would attend grades seven to twelve and receive free tuition, uniforms and supplies. In return, all that was asked was to follow the rules.

Ten-months later, the world watched in horror as Oprah, herself a victim of sexual abuse, sobbed inconsolably as fifteen of her students recounted multiple stories of sexual abuse at the hands of a Matron employed at the school. “I am a Mama Bear when it comes to protecting my children,” Oprah said later. “These girls are like my children. That’s not just rhetoric, I take their futures very seriously.”

The Matron, Virginia Makgobo, 27, is due in court on June 1st, and faces a litany of charges including indecent assault, soliciting a minor to perform a sexual act, and multiple counts of verbal abuse. She has denied the allegations. Winfrey also fired the School’s Headmistress, and has vowed to distribute cellphones to the girls, with her number on speed-dial, so they can report future problems directly to her.

The story continues, but so far the phones have not rung.

With six children already at home, Brad, 45, has told his long-term lady they have to get married before she can add any more. According to a friend, his advice was a straight ultimatum, “Brad told her, ‘Marry me, or it’s over’.”
It seems the stresses of being a Dad to six kids while Mommy is out doing films and humanitarian work is really starting to drag, and Brad needs some proof of commitment. “Their relationship is so out of kilter, he believes marriage is the only thing that will bring it around.” the friend told reporters.

The couple have a home in New Orleans and those in the know expect Angelina, 33, to agree to Brad’s wishes and do the nuptials thing fairly soon in that formerly glorious city. The choice of location would be partly a tribute to Angelina’s own mom, Marcheline. Even the dress is expected to be based on the one Marcheline wore to marry Jon Voight there in 1971.

Brad is said to be eager to make her a wife, ‘“He needs to know Angie is really committed to him,” says the friend. ”Becoming Mrs. Pitt would give him that answer.” Angelina’s response is, as yet, unknown, but if it was ‘No’, you can bet you’d be reading it here before now.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney denies that Rihanna is no longer cooperating in the Chris Brown case.
"We deal with her attorney who says she is a cooperating victim," L.A. County D.A. spokesperson Sandi Gibbons tells Usmagazine.com.
According to FoxNews.com, the "Umbrella" singer "wants the whole thing" to go away and isn't helping the D.A. prepare his case against Brown for allegedly assaulting her Feb. 8 -- hours before both were scheduled to attend the Grammys.
Adds her lawyer, Donald Etra: "She will do everything that the law requires her to do...nothing has changed."

Wait a minute. FOX News was wrong? Fuck, how does that even happen?! Well, it's been fun, everybody. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sit in the bathtub with my G.I. Joe's and wait for the universe to implode. Let's roll, Serpentor.

"Angelina is worried about the best interests of the kids," explains a source. "As a mom of six, she knows how chaotic and costly raising a big family can be."
And while the money would no doubt help Nadya pay for everything from clothes to schooling, Angelina, 33, does have some misgivings about the gift, notes the source.
"She doesn't necessarily approve of Nadya, and she doesn't want to turn the situation into even more of a circus."

Of course, a practical solution would be for Angelina to install a private Starbucks in Octo-mom's house, so she'll spend more time with her brood. Then again, that'll just end in Britney Spears crashing through the skylight. Dammit, there's just no easy answer to this thing is there? Which is why it's important for parents to talk to their kids about the uterus: It's not a gatling gun.
