Bostonist never thought of Bill Belichick as cover material, unless one counts the awesomeness of the Sports Illustrated cover with Belichick as Santa. But a few gay males might get a surprise when they pick up the latest issue of Spirit Magazine, "Boston's Premier Magazine for the Gay and Lesbian Community." Because there's Bill Belichick's mug and hoodie alternative on the cover. Fabulous it is not. First off, Belichick is a cougar-sexual. Second, "Belichick" and......

Correction: An anonymous person e-mailed and pointed out that the video was uploaded January 25, before the Super Bowl. So, the comment about Moynahan and friends waiting until after the Super Bowl to show the video has been removed, and the appearance of the video will be chalked up to coincidence. After breaking up with Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and then having his child, Bridget Moynahan has walked a tightrope when it comes to her......

Tina Cervasio, whose aerodynamic behind put Papelbon in a state of awe, is leaving NESN at the end of March. Wailing and gnashing of teeth ensued, as New England--not to mention players--were besotted with Cervasio. What happened? Cervasio was a big enough name that it would be surprising if NESN didn't fight to keep her. The Track Girls say, however, that Cervasio wanted more money in her contract, and http://www.bostonherald.com/track/inside_track/view.bg?articleid=1070220&srvc=home&position=2">NESN wasn't willing to cough up.......

Our two local papers enjoyed a Super Bowl-scale brawl yesterday when the Track Girls chided the Globe for selling a book on the Patriots' undefeated season. As if it's a crime. Bostonist loves the Track Girls, but how do they think teams get their championship T-shirts and caps so quickly? A wizard waving a wand? People print them beforehand, just like they print books beforehand, and the Globe had the foresight to get ready for......

Since no one can seem to find Tom Brady (settle down, people, please!), Bostonist thought this post might give you a proper Brady fix. The Track Girls reported that Tom Brady may have seen a hair-plug specialist while in New York City. For the record, Bostonist couldn't care less if Tom Brady has hair plugs as long as he performs at the Super Bowl. Maybe he is a touch overexposed, figuratively and literally based......

We shouldn't have gotten our hopes up. The relationship between Dunkin' Donuts and Rachael Ray is still as strong as ever. The Track Girls talked to a Dunkin' Donuts rep about the incident in which Rachael Ray called Dunkin' Donuts "shit," and the rep defends Ray: “It’s absolutely, completely and totally false,” said the flack. “Once it came to Dunkin’ Donuts’ attention, they spoke to several people at the photo shoot who denied that happened.......

The Track Girls are spreading the word from Us Magazine that Katie Holmes has received a special exemption to run this year's Boston Marathon, which will be on April 21. If true, she will be joining another newly minted national celebrity--the slimmed-down Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. He's training, and he will likely be running while flipping the bird toward Romney's Belmont manse. Holmes is going to get smoked. The Boston Marathon is nothing to......

Lest the world find Kevin Youkilis unsavory for signing up to market an energy drink named "SlumpBuster," which refers to an ugly woman a guy sleeps with to break a losing streak, the Track Girls called Youk's rep. Youk's rep informed them that SlumpBuster refers to the other "SlumpBuster": “Unfortunately, like many common sayings, the ‘slumpbuster’ term can also be twisted to having negative connotations,” said Youk’s agent, Joe Bick of Pro Star Management, in......

Who is that swinger-lookin' 70s dude that the Celtics insist on flashing up on the Jumbotron during games? Why, that's Gino--the unofficial team mascot who is capturing the hearts of players and fans alike! The clip in which Gino appears is from '70s era "American Bandstand." He resembles Adrian Zmed of "TJ Hooker" fame, only with a lot more facial hair, and he knows how to work his sexy snake hips. Once you see......

The following is a public service announcement: The next time you steal a Red Sox's castoffs, particularly their sweaty cups, eBay would rather you sell them elsewhere. The Track Girls are spreading the word that SportsWorld, in Saugus, tried to sell Jonathan Papelbon and Kevin Youkilis' used jocks on their eBay store. Judging from how many times the Track Girls have written about SportsWorld and its Red Sox underwear sale, SportsWorld has been trying......

Now that Donald Trump is eyeing Massachusetts for a new casino, what would life be like with Donald Trump sightings? Pretty cool, actually. The Track Girls can cover incidents in which the wind blows back his hair and shows what's underneath that critter sitting on his head. Maybe we'll get a taste of the Trump shenanigans that Gothamist sees on a regular basis, such as when Trump defied the ghosts of SoHo to build a......

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady visited his child with his ex-girlfriend, Bridget Moynahan, over the bye week. A visitation shouldn't be a huge deal in and of itself, but tabloids, celeb blogs, and the Track Girls fell all over themselves to report the fact that Tom Brady took the time to see his kid, "JET" Moynahan. People Magazine monitored his activities: "With the New England Patriots idle, Brady hung out on both coasts, and found time......

--Bachelor No. 2 needs more fresh meat! The filmmakers are holding another casting call for extras at the Comedy Connection on Saturday, September 22. If you have a SAG card and haven't attended a call, go between 11 am and 12 pm. If you don't have a SAG card and haven't attended a call, go between 1 pm and 5 pm. --George Clooney was in town for the Boston Film Festival. He was sporting a......

--The Cambridge City Council has decided to name intersections after Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. The Track Girls write that the council plans "to dedicate the intersections of Pearl and Cottage streets to Affleck and the corner of Pearl and Auburn streets to Damon." Once this is accomplished, wait for the college students to start defacing Affleck's corner and shouting, "And that's what I think of Gigli!" And then wait for someone to launch a......

Our eyes! Our eyes! Boston usually hasn't seen this many famous people since, since, oh forget it. We're seeing a lot now. One Bostonist actually spotted Kate Hudson shooting Bachelor No. 2. The Track Girls spotted her filming a scene at Centerfolds. The Hudson Alerts are fairly high because of her relationship to ex-boyfriend Owen Wilson, who allegedly attempted suicide. The Track Girls reported that she had to be escorted off the set of the......

Tom Brady has been named the best-dressed man in the world,* he had a birthday, he's back on the field, and his supermodel girlfriend is on the cover of Vanity Fair. But we have one big question – when's the baby arriving? We heard rumors that Bridget Moynihan was going to pop the Brady Baby back on July 20, but Brady's offspring hasn't arrived yet. The Track Girls are getting impatient and reported that Moynihan......

We saw so much of Denzel Washington in the local press recently that we're feeling a little left out, even more so since he's probably left town by now. Boston media was so Denzel-happy that we half expected someone to run a post saying, "I threw my panties at Denzel!" It's like Denzel Washington was here, there, and everywhere in Boston. Washington was in town for the shooting of The Great Debaters, about a 1930s......

Perez Hilton will be at Mansion with Lady Sovereign tonight at 9:00 pm. The event is sponsored by going.com and is free. Blogger of celebrities / celebrity blogger Perez Hilton must know how to work it. Newsweek is talking about his Oprah-like power when it comes to picking music, and he has boodles of visitors to his site. His specialties are brutal disses, not safe for work photos, and scribbling on stock and/or paparazzi photos.......

The author behind the blog the Full Comp, which told stories of restaurant life, has outed herself. She's Gwen Butler, who received a $3-million-dollar tip. The blog is a big deal, as she wrote a very public screed against her former boss, Garrett Harker at the Eastern Standard. This screed is nasty. It will make your momma blush. It will make you blush. The Weekly Dig, who printed how to find the screed on Google......

The sexy Bill Belichick is a lot like the Loch Ness Monster. He doesn't show up much, but when he does no one can forget it. The Track Girls announced that Belichick made the scene with his latest blonde in a luxury box at the Red Sox game. They refer to him as a "swinging single," but we'd rather not look at him as that kind of sexy. Maybe Belichick needed to step out......

Ah, finally, a break from Aqua Teen Hunger Force … When the chips are down for the local sports teams, it's time to talk about what players, coaches, owners, and GMs are doing in their spare time. They're getting busy. In what would have been a major local story were it not for a certain cup, cluster o' fries, and a "meat wad," word leaked out that Red Sox GM Theo Epstein got hitched -......

The current Bostonist panty theme isn't over. And it's not our fault. This city has it on the brain. First off, Tom Brady might be dating lingerie model and DiCaprio cast-off Gisele Bundchen. The Track Girls gleefully reported Bundchen draping herself around the locker room. Normally, this Bostonist wouldn't give two plug nickels to know who Tom Brady is dating. However, the presence of Bundchen may have an impact on Brady's state of mind before......
