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......

Not to be outdone by Charlize Theron, who is being honored by the A-list Hasty Pudding, Paris Hilton continued to cut a wide swath through Boston when she was at The Estate. In fact, she garnered attention by dancing on a coffee table. With Oompa-Loompas. And then she showed her boobies. We're wondering what was up with the Oompa-Loompas. Sadly, Bostonist does not have rights to the photo the Track Girls put up, but at......

--The Patrick administration is working on stopping the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe's attempt to get approval for a casino through the federal government. The administration would prefer that the tribe bid for one of the three casino licenses Patrick hopes to auction off. [Boston Herald] --A plane on its way to Paris from New York City had to make an emergency landing at Logan Airport after a passenger attempted to attack a flight attendant. [Boston......

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.......

Patriots coach Bill Belichick flicks his "Sexy Beast" switch on and off like a light. One moment, he's all Mr. Serious and Scary, and, the next moment, he's on a cougar hunt. It seemed that Belichick would focus on the football during Super Bowl weekend. However, the Track Girls have spotted not one, but two, cougars joining Belichick in Arizona. Linda Holliday has been seen with Belichick in the past and may have inspired the......

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.......

--A massive fire that started in an abandoned nightclub and eventually destroyed 14 buildings in downtown Lawrence broke into the national news. In a miracle given the size of the fire, no one was hurt. However, 30 families were displaced. Authorities think the fire is suspicious. The owner, who was in the process of turning the spot into a restaurant, says he has no insurance and that someone "jealous of his success" started it.......

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......

The ever-reliable National Enquirer is, according to AOL Fanhouse, spreading the word that Tom Brady will ask his panty-model girlfriend to marry him … but only if he gets a Super Bowl ring. If true, then he wants a ring as much as she (theoretically) does. The Track Girls say the Brady Ring Thing story is bunk, which sets up an amusing battle between the Enquirer and the Track Girls. Who would win that......

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......

So a few movies shoot in Boston, and all of a sudden the city is Hollywood East. Well, a lot of movies stopped by here, and Denzel Washington's The Great Debaters premiered at Harvard. The New York Times called Boston the "new Toronto" as long as movies are concerned. Today, the Track Girls became excited at the prospect of Canada being jealous of Boston. But who cares about that? All we care about is--what in......

Comedy --Tracy Morgan is in town. Watch the Track Girls the next day because something crazy is bound to happen. And if you see any Tracy-Morgan-related wildness, send a tip! Even the Comedy Connection felt pressed to issue a warning: "This stand-up show contains very sexually explicit material and the strongest language imaginable. This show is for mature audiences only." He'll be at the Comedy Connection at Faneuil Hall tonight and tomorrow night. Shows at......

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......

--Former Massachusetts Speaker of the House and radio host Tom Finneran cries. Conveniently, a camera is there. [Boston Herald] --Equally conveniently, the Herald finds someone to analyze the supposedly hot new trend of men crying. How come we never get asked to discuss this stuff? They ask if guys can cry, too. Uh, they have tear ducts, right? [Boston Herald] --Another winter day, another snow collapse, this time for a gas station canopy in Worcester.......

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......

--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......

After weeks of wandering around LA looking like she had a beach ball under her shirt, actress Bridget Moynahan has finally given birth to a boy. Babydaddy Tom Brady must be proud. Still no word on what his current girlfriend, panty model Gisele Bundchen, is thinking. The little one has not yet been named. What about "QB Junior"? Or "Lil Pigskin"? Or "Trojan"? Any other suggestions? C'mon - name the Brady Baby! For the Pats......

Okay, okay. The masses, or at least one person in the tips section, have spoken. You want celebrity sightings, you got 'em! A tipster has announced that soccer star, husband of Posh, friend of Cruise David Beckham was spotted in a local Cheesecake Factory. Beckham was in the area with the LA Galaxy to play a game with the New England Revolution. He didn't actually play, though, so he had spare time to enjoy New......

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......

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......
