Last night Hollywood startlets and sports heroes descended on the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the museum's annual gala, this year honoring a new Costume Institute exhibition called Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations. The exhibit explores the work of the two Italian designers and "suggests new readings of their most innovative work," according to the museum's introduction. While the actual exhibit was inside the museum, last night's show took place on the red carpet where stars strutted and posed for photographers on the steps, all dolled up in (mostly) delightful designer duds.

Get Yer Fashion Fill Right Here, With These Photos From The 2012 Met Gala
Yes, Gisele Bundchen Walked The Runway For Alexander Wang
Hey, looks like Gisele Bundchen is taking Brandon Jacobs' advice: The supermodel closed fashion designer Alexander Wang's show on Saturday—sending the crowd into a frenzy—but she wasn't very chatty!
Giants Players Think Gisele Should STFU About Football
Memo to Gisele Bundchen: Just because you're married to one of the best quarterbacks of all time, it doesn't make you an expert, okay? That's the message from the Giants, who beat the supermodel's husband and his Patriot teammates in a thrilling Super Bowl game—Brandon Jacobs said, "She just needs to continue to be cute and shut up."
"Thank You, Wes Welker": Company Dumps 900 Pounds Of Butterfingers On Boston Street
An online pawn shop either pissed off a lot of Patriots fans or endeared themselves to some hungry people. PawnGo dumped 900 pounds of Butterfingers, with the sign, "Thank You, Wes Welker." Hey, was Gisele behind this?
Boston Hates Gisele Bundchen For Breaking Code
There's nothing like a good viral video to change the focus of Patriots fans' anger. Now that everyone knows how Gisele Bundchen fired back at a Giants fan who said, "Eli owns your husband!" by slamming Tom Brady's colleagues—"My husband cannot (bleeping) throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times"—the supermodel gets the "Super Brat" treatment on the Beantown tabloid, The Boston Herald.
Gisele's Post-Super Bowl Freak Out: Supermodel Defends Husband, Hates His Sucky Teammates
It must be pretty rough being beautiful and rich when God doesn't answers your prayers for your handsome and rich husband to win the Super Bowl. Which is probably why supermodel Gisele Bundchen lashed out at someone who yelled, "Eli owns your husband!" after Big Blue bested the Patriots once again in the Super Bowl. The bodacious Brazilian was caught on tape saying, "You (have) to catch the ball when you’re supposed to catch the ball. My husband cannot (bleeping) throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times."
Pray For Tommy: Gisele Bundchen Begs Friends To Pray For Patriots Against Giants
We've spent the last week and a half getting to know all the gnome worshipping, ass tattooing, elderly rapping Giants fans—but it's time to take a look at the state of Patriots Nation. Are they confidently following the lead of their supreme leader, rollerblading pirate and impish genius Bill Belichick? Or are they wetting their pants and getting their supermodel girlfriends to write "disgustingly sappy" emails imploring their friends and family to pray for victory?
Rogaine Wants To Help Tom Brady Out
Much has been made of UGG Boots spokesman Tom Brady's absurd hairstyle—seriously, what a terrible haircut—with most onlookers guessing that the 'do is due to a bald spot up top. And as Monday's game between the Patriots and Gang Green approaches, it's hard not enjoy the schadenfreude piling onto the player's not-so-luscious locks. Earlier this week the Boston Herald spotted Brady outside of a hair transplant outfit in Rhode Island (which isn't the first time Mr. Gisele Bundchen has been seen near such a business). And now Rogaine is offering the very wealthy player a three-months free supply of their product. Somehow we suspect he won't be taking it. Not that there is anything wrong with a bald quarterback.

Ahead of Super Bowl, Brady Walking in NYC With Boot
Tom Brady sure loves New York, huh? Not only does he walk around town wearing a Yankees hat, but he comes here to spend time with his ubermodel girlfriend Gisele Bundchen in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl. Brady was spotted walking to Bundchen's West Village apartment Monday carrying flowers (how sweet) and wearing a protective boot on his right foot.
Elsewhere in the ist-a-verse
There was very little else for Londonist to be concerned with when the threat of a Tube strike became a very unpleasant reality. The inconvenience was extreme: there aren't many alternatives to the Tube in London despite the best efforts of the Londonist team to get everyone from A to B. Brighter news came in the form of the first ever female Yeoman Warder, or Beefeater as the position is more commonly known, and several smiles as well as lots of cash were raised by some plucky urban ironing. London is apparently full of lies and whales: one of these things is true. We leave that up to you to figure out.
The Biggest Yankees Fan...Tom Brady?
How do you get Boston Red Sox fans in a tizzy? Well, being a Yankee fan seems to do the trick. We have to wonder how those in Beantown feel about New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady wearing a Yankees hat. That's what Brady was caught doing yesterday in the West Village with his girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen. If we were Red Sox fans, we wouldn't get our panties in a bunch just yet. Think logically - the best way to not get attention in New York would be to wear the hat of a local team.
Lady Cab Drivers Wanted
The Daily News reports that there's a new scholarship program to help women become taxi drivers. The Metropolitan Taxicab Board of Trade, New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers, has 500 scholarships to offer, but only 8 women have signed up, something the federation's president chalks up to lack of awareness for the program and as well as old perceptions that being a cab driver is dangerous. Really, who knew? The Daily News says that 99% of taxi drivers are men and we believe it: Whenever we get a female cab driver, we do a double take and start to wonder if she really enjoys it. The female cab drivers we've had have generally been very pleasant and nice - though we realize it's a smaller sample size - so we're all for more female cab drivers.
Which brings Gothamist to Taxi, starring Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon. We saw a trailer for the film before Anchorman. Now, there's nothing better than seeing Jimmy Fallon humiliated, but the movie doesn't seem to make sense. Queen Latifah plays a no-nonsense cab driver, who helps out disgraced rookie cop Jimmy, while pursuing bank robbers, and QL has this pimped out cab...didn't Hollywood learn their lesson about a multi-racial, TV-star-paired-with-singer-actress with DC Cab? Maybe it's an excuse to see Gisele Bundchen onscreen, but it's just bad idea jeans, even if it was shot in NYC. And if you watch the trailer, there was one thing Gothamist liked: The title treatment, which has a pulsating/radiating Manhattan street grid in the background.

Gisele's First Movie Role
If you see a really hot, tall girl in a chauffeur's uniform around town, no, it's not your fantasy come to life, it's just DiCap's girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen, "acting" as a chauffeur in Taxi, some sort of comedy starring Queen Latifah as a cabdriver and Jimmy Fallon as an ambitious detective (wowee, what a spin on the interrcial buddy movie - a skinny pretty white boy and a beautiful rapper-turned-Oscar nominated black woman!). Gisele plays either a Brazilian thief or the head of a Brazilian smuggling operation - you know, something highly improbable. But Gothamist is praying for a long and drawn out fight scene, where Latifah shows Gisele who is Queen.
Casting Corner: Catwoman & Shopgirl
Steve Martin's novella, Shopgirl, will start filming in mid-October, with Martin playing Ray, Claire Danes as glove salesgirl Mirabelle, and Jason Schwartzman as her feckless but like-aged suitor, Jeremy. Originally Jimmy Fallon was mentioned as a possible candidate for the role of Jeremy, but may have had to drop out, due to his Saturday Night Live commitments as well as filming Taxi with Queen Latifah and Gisele Bundchen here in NY. In this case, Gothamist is pleased with the casting Schwartzman, because it means that Max Fischer meets Angela Chase. [Via Variety]
