Gisele Bundchen to Giants Fans: Blame Wes Welker!
Gisele Bundchen prayed for husband Ton Brady to win the Super Bowl last night.
Alas, when those prayers were not answered - the Patriots fell to the Giants 21-17 - the super model turned to curse-filled trash talking.
It's okay, dear. I'll catch all of your balls tonight.
On her way out of Lucas Oil Stadium last night, New York fans taunted Gisele, with one yelling: "Eli owns your husband!"
At this, Bundchen turned around and replied: "My husband cannot f-cking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can't believe they dropped the ball so many times."
Gisele, of course, is referring to a number of near-catches by Patriot wide receivers, most notably a missed snag by Wes Welker at the New York 20-yard line with four minutes remaining and New England driving for a clinching score. Should Welker have had it? Probably. Did Brady throw a couple balls behind his teammates in the second half, along with a key interception? Yes.

Josh Powell Kills Self, Sons in Planned House Explosion
This story is pretty much as awful as it gets.
Josh Powell, a suspect in his wife's 2009 disappearance, set up an explosion of his home yesterday that resulted in his own death, along with the death of his two sons.
As first reported by The Seattle Times, a case worker dropped Powell's two kids of at his house in Graham, Washington yesterday and was then "forced out," said a spokesman for Pierce County Sheriff’s Office, adding: "An explosion happened shortly thereafter."
Authorities later recovered three bodies from the rubble who they believe are Josh Powell and his sons Charlie, 7, and Braden, 5.
Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton Perform "America the Beautiful" at Super Bowl
It didn't get the attention of Kelly Clarkson's national anthem or Madonna's halftime show (both great), but Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton performed a beautiful rendition of "America the Beautiful" at Super Bowl XLVI last night.
The married country stars did justice to the classic, often overshadowed by "The Star Spangled Banner" and "God Bless America," but a wonderful tribute to our nation.
Watch their duet below:
After the Giants pulled off an insane comeback, Blake Shelton ran it back as one of the coaches/judges on NBC's hit singing competition.

The Voice Season 2 Premiere Recap: The Fab Four Return, Turn Around For Talent!
The Voice is back, and better than ever.
In the Season 2 premiere, the NBC singing competition showed why it became a big hit last spring - the chemistry of the four judges and the unexpected talent.
For those unfamiliar, the judges turn around, sight unseen, if they like someone trying out. That person then chooses which star he/she wants to coach them.
Let's get down to business and see who joined Team Christina Aguilera, Team Blake Shelton, Team Cee Lo Green and Team Adam Levine last night ...
Jesse Campbell and his surprising, tragic back story took second fiddle to his rendition of "A Song For You" that caused all four judges to turn around.
After a funny, borderline racist comment from Cee Lo to Christina, he opted for Team Christina. Watch his performance and the fight for him here:
Later on, Christina also added Chris Mann, who's an opera singer! Who expected him to start singing in Italian on The Voice? Check it out below ...
RaeLynn was the first audition of the night, and was gunning for Team Blake from the start. After all, she sang Miranda Lambert's "Hell on Heels."
Mario Manningham Super Bowl Catch: The Best Ever?
The New York Giants needed a big play late in the Super Bowl and Eli Manning delivered, lofting a pass to Mario Manningham that sent them on their way to a winning drive.
Somehow managing to keep two feet in bounds while making a fingertip catch in double coverage, Manningham defied comprehension - and stunned the Patriots.
New York went on to win 21-17 and Manning claimed his second Super Bowl MVP award thanks to Manningham, who made the biggest play of the Giants' season.
Watch below: Was his Super Bowl catch the best ever?
One guy who may give Manningham a run for his money: David Tyree. Four years ago, HE made a key reception of a Manning pass that helped lead the Giants to victory.
Also trailing late in the fourth quarter against the Patriots, Eli's escape and Tyree's catch off of his own helmet have already gone down in Super Bowl history.
Take a look at that catch below:
Which Giant's Super Bowl reception was better?

Queen Elizabeth II Celebrates Diamond Jubilee Anniversary, 60 Years on British Throne
Queen Elizabeth II marks her Diamond Jubilee anniversary today.
The British royal family matriarch, 85, marks 60 years as queen, and on this date, she dedicated herself anew to continuing to serve Britons and those around the world.
A new set of portraits of Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip, taken by John Swannell in the Centre Room at Buckingham Palace in December 2011, have been released to commemorate the occasion. Take a look:
Elizabeth said that while has seen "great advances" since she took over following her father George VI's death on February 6, 1952, she is looking forward to the future with a "clear head and warm heart."
The comments came after a day in which she and husband, 90, attended a church service in Norfolk, to the delight of flower-clasping well-wishers..
In her message, which was released by Buckingham Palace, Elizabeth said:
"I hope that we will all be reminded of the continued power of togetherness ... convening strength of family, friendship and good neighborliness, examples of which I have been fortunate to see throughout my reign."
Elizabeth is the mother of Prince Charles and the grandmother of Prince William, the two next in line to succeed her at the helm of the British monarchy.
M.I.A. Flips Off Camera During Super Bowl Halftime Performance
What would a Super Bowl halftime show be without a little controversy, right?
While all boobs remained in place, and no wardrobes malfunctioned, during the Madonna-based performance tonight, rapper M.I.A. - who joined The Material Girl and Nicki Minaj on stage for a rendition of "Give Me All Your Luvin" - is making headlines for the exposure of another body part.
She raised her middle finger to a NBC camera.
In a couple hilarious statements, the NFL first wrote of the gesture and image above:
“There was a failure in NBC’s delay system. The obscene gesture in the performance was completely inappropriate, very disappointing, and we apologize to our fans.”
This, naturally, led to a response from NBC, which reads: “The NFL hired the talent and produced the halftime show. Our system was late to obscure the inappropriate gesture and we apologize to our viewers.”
So, should M.I.A. get fined for the move? Of course. Not because it's especially lewd, simply because it's such an incredibly lame cry for attention.
Super Bowl XLVI Commercials: How Much Did They Suck?!?
It's official, isn't it, America? The day of the funny, original Super Bowl commercial is over.
While tonight's Giants versus Patriots game featured serious fourth quarter drama, the breaks in between the action produced... more lame naked girl teases from GoDaddy? More Polar Bears from Coca Cola? More of that E TRADE baby?
Did any spot really make you laugh? Will any stand out 24 hours from now? Yeah. We didn't think so, either.
Review a number of the Super Bowl XLVI commercials below and prepare yourselves already for Super Bowl XLVII - by lowering your expectations.
Super Bowl Commercials: Best of the Movies
Superheroes will unite. G.I. Joe will retaliate.
Taylor Kitsch will try to save the world on a couple of occasions. Sacha Baron Cohen will try to run a country.
And, of course, Katniss Everdeen will be awesome.
While most of the Super Bowl XLVI commercials were downright awful - Polar Bear again, Coca-Cola? More naked women, GoDaddy? - movie fans were at least treated to a number of extended looks at a few upcoming blockbusters. View them here and then vote on the one that has you most excited:

Madonna Halftime Show: What Did You Think?
With all due respect to Eli Manning, might Madonna have put on the best performance of Super Bowl XLVI?
The legendary singer mashed up a number of songs over the course of 12-plus minutes, possibly lip-synching a great deal, but also pulling out a number of fun numbers, including one that involved some incredibly limber, acrobat-like dancers over a set of makeshift bleachers.
Nicki Minaj also stopped by. So did Cee Lo Green, LMFAO and M.I.A. The Material Girl hit the classics ("Vogue, "Music") and her new one, "Give Me All Your Lovin," showing great energy for a woman her age.
Watch the halftime show now and sound off below with your thoughts:
