Gisele Bundchen, the world's highest paid supermodel, is now serious about Super Bowl

The world's highest paid Supermodel Gisele Bundchen and girlfriend of quarterback Tom Brady has now got her eye on the Super Bowl. In anticipation of the Super Bowl game between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots, The former Victoria Secret supermodel (2000 - 2006) and wife of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, reportedly asked friends and family to pray for her hubbie's big game on Sunday, February 5.

According to the Associated Press, The New York Post published what they called a "disgustingly sappy" personal email purportedly written by Bundchen which read, "I feel Tommy really needs our prayer, our support and love at this time... So I kindly ask all of you to join me on this positive chain and pray for him, so he can feel confident, healthy and strong. Envision him happy and fulfilled experiencing with his team a victory this sunday."

The tabloid felt the need to confirm their own story and reached out to Bundchen who supposedly confirmed, "I am surprised that you received this e-mail; it was a private note only sent to close friends and family."

Bundchen's rep had no immediate comment on the report. Brady told the Associated Press, "I don't know anything about that, so I don't know what it is." Brady is a three-time Super Bowl champ who has earned two MVP trophies and has a $72 million contract.

When asked at Tuesday's media day whether his supermodel wife had given him any advice he answered, "Throw the ball quickly. She doesn't like it when I get hit very often. My guys up front do a great job of protecting me."

This 31 year-old Brazilian supermodel, whose last name is pronounced "boond'shen," is said to be the highest-paid model in the world with estimated annual earnings of some $45 million, according to Forbes' annual list.
