Names & Facial

December 7, 2012

Ever since we found out that Mrs. Tom Brady had a Bundchen in the oven, we knew there’d be a race in the news media to announce  the arrival of the Littlest Ugg Model.

And on the local dailies front, we now have a winner.

The Namesniks at the Globe beat the Track Gals (without Megan!) at the Herald like a Boston traffic light.

The Globe item:

Sure, the story’s up on the Herald’s website now:

Patriots QB/QT Tom Brady [stats]’s supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen took to Facebook this morning to announce the birth of Vivian Lake, a daughter born “healthy and full of life,” at home on Wednesday.

 “We feel so lucky to have been able to experience the miracle of birth once again and are forever grateful for the opportunity to be the parents of another little angel,” Gi posted along with a touching photo of her hand holding Vivie’s tiny hand.

Yeah yeah – whatever.

We all know it’s the dead-tree bakeoff that really matters. Score another one for the Boring Broadsheet, eh you feisty local tabloiders?

 


Doing the McKayla Edition

August 30, 2012

From yesterday’s Boston Herald Inside Track:

Tracked down: Maria Menounos, Larry David, Rajon Rondo and more . . .

Medford homegirl Maria Menounos hanging with Olympic gymnast Mckayla Maroney on the “Extra” set in LA..

 

For once, the Track Gals (and Megan!) missed the joke.

But the Boston Globe Namesniks didn’t.

Doing the McKayla

Everywhere she goes, it seems, Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney (left) has to makes the same sour expression she famously made during the medal ceremony in London. But, now, it’s all in fun. This week, while filming a segment for “Extra,” Maroney and Medford’s Maria Menounos pursed their lips in mock disappointment.

Score one for the Boring Broadsheet.
