First Pic! Gisele Bundchen Debuts Baby Son Benjamin!

What a looker!
Supermodel Gisele Bundchen, 29, shows off the first photo of her baby boy, Benjamin, in Brazilian mag Quem. The two-month-old is all bundled up in a blue jacket and matching hat while dozing off in Bundchen's arms.
The new mom gave birth to Benjamin on Dec. 8 in the bathtub of the Boston townhouse she shares with husband Tom Brady. (He is also dad to Jack, 2, with ex girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.)
Just six weeks later, she was back to work -- modeling for Brazilian fashion line Colcci.
Bundchen has said she didn't put on much weight while expecting -- and didn't even have to buy maternity clothes.
"I gained a little, but I kept using almost the same clothes, with minor adjustments to close in the belly," she told Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo Veja.
She also told Quem that she was "washing the dishes and making pancakes" just two days after giving birth.

Ellen DeGeneres Promises This Year's American Idol Is "Going To Be Good TV"Ellen DeGeneres Promises This Year's American Idol Is "Going To Be Good TV"

Finally! Ellen DeGeneres is set to make her much anticipated judging debut Tuesday on Hollywood Week of season 9 of the hit Fox TV show American Idol.
The daytime chat show host called into Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS FM show Tuesday morning to dish about the upcoming show, how she fits in with the rest of the judges, how she’s getting ready for her judging gig and what we can expect from this season.
Filling us in on the talent we can look forward to Ellen says there’s a couple of good rockers, and a “great eclectic group of people”. She said that she found the most surprising thing about sitting in as a judge is how little experience some of the Idol wannabes have, saying that it was surprising to her that some of them have never actually even auditioned before, in front of anyone, let alone four famous stars, in front of TV cameras.
Ellen said that she feels compassion for those starting out, drawing on her own experience of auditioning and dealing with rejection. She said, “You can’t teach them experience, but hopefully the people we put through learn very quickly.” And shared that, “It’s tough to be critical. I was judged very harshly before.” Going on to explain her judging style, “I tend to be compassionate, but at the same time very, very honest. I try to cushion it with humor.”
Ellen said that the four judges complement each other very well as, “All four of us are completely different in style.” And when it comes to her relationship with Simon Cowell? Ellen diplomatically said, “I think he’s a funny guy and I think he’s a smart guy. He’s going to be a challenge, he’s Simon and I’m me and we’re completely different people. It’s going to be good TV.”
One thing Ellen doesn’t sound too sure of though is the grueling schedule of filming the live show twice weekly on top of her already busy work commitments with her hit daytime show. But she’s doing her best to prepare, saying, “I’m working out, eating right and getting ready for it.” Sharing that she’s even cut out one of her favorite sins – sugar!
But Ellen is clearly psyched about landing her “dream gig” and looking forward to the weeks ahead, promising, “It’s going to be fun. It’s going to be a challenge!”
You can be the judge yourself when it comes to Ellen’s judging debut. Tune into American Idol Tuesday, on Fox 8/7c

Jim Carrey: Every Day with Jenny Is Valentine's Day

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy have been together four years – and they have a simple explanation about what makes their relationship work.
"Say what you mean," McCarthy tells PEOPLE. "No one has the energy for mind games."
"Jenny is the first person that I’ve been with where I don't have a giant question mark over my head," Carrey says at the Saturday Night Spectacular poker event he hosted with McCarthy at Miami's Bank of America Tower.
But how do they keep their relationship on track? "Communication," McCarthy says, before ticking off other important factors. "Being turned on by each other. Being each other's soul mate."
"When you're not turned on, there's generally something to talk about," Carrey interjects. "So, it’s good to listen to that."
Carrey, 48, and McCarthy, 37, hosted the event to raise funds for their autism organization, Generation Rescue. "This is so important," Carrey says. "Everyone knows someone who has been touched by autism. It's important to know that there is hope."
It's an issue that hits close to home for them both. McCarthy's son, Evan, was diagnosed with autism in 2004. Since Carrey started dating McCarthy, he and Evan have developed a close bond. "I think a man who is good with children is sexy," McCarthy says. "And Jim definitely is. He loves Evan so much."
With Valentine's Day around the corner, does the happy couple have any big plans? "I don't know," McCarthy says, before turning to Carrey. "What are we going to do?"
He just smiled: "Every day is Valentine's Day, baby."

Sandra Bullock: 'I'm So Not Winning an Oscar!'

Sandra Bullock has news for anyone waiting to see her give an acceptance speech at the Academy Awards – don't hold your breath!
"I'm so not winning an Oscar," Bullock, who received her first-ever nomination, as best actress for The Blind Side, told reporters at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival Friday, where she received the American Riviera Award for her influence on film.
Bullock considers herself an expert oddsmaker for the annual awards show, so she has strong feelings about her own chance for victory. "Nine times out of ten I always pick who's going to win," the actress, 45, said. "And I already know who's going to win. I'm not going to say, but nine times out of ten, I'm right."
Bullock isn't practicing false humility. After all, she’s already won a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award this year. She’s just not overanxious to snag the trophy. "I have to say, all the ladies in our category, we don't care who wins," she said. "Someone's going to win and the rest of us will be really happy for whoever won. We're just happy to be here. And we like the company we're in."
Bullock admitted she has to push herself into enjoying the build-up to the Academy Awards. "It's amazing how you are asked to hit the ground running the minute you hear the news," she said. "It's not like you can sit back and have bonbons and champagne."
"I thought that's what it was about," she said. "I had it already. I said, 'OK, where are the bonbons and champagne?' No one brought me any. They just told me I had to work. So I'm like, 'OK.' "
