Mom-to-be and supermodel Gisele Bündchen was spotted on the West Village streets of NYC yesterday with bulging baby bump braving the cold rain. As you can see, her emerging bump has gotten bigger since we last saw it … behold:

As you may recall, Gisele revealed in a recent interview that she and hubby Tom Brady do not know the sex of their baby and will not find out if they are having a boy or a girl until it is born in December. While we have no way of knowing what is incubating inside her womb in these pictures, we can be sure that her child will be born BEAUTIFUL. It’s nice to see how she’s coming along … December will be here before you know it and so … the bump watch carries on.

Here are a couple photos of Suri Holmes-Cruise with her mom Katie Holmes on the set of Tom Cruise’s new film Knight and Day which is currently in production in Massachusetts. As you can see, Suri was all gussied up in her fetching red ensemble:

While some may find the red on red on red a bit matchy-matchy, I think it works well for the little Miss. This color red really suits her … and at the very least, makes her really noticeable. Should the little dear suffer a malfunction or blow a spark plug, it would be easy to see if she makes a break for freedom. Ain’t she just a doll?

Last night David and I carved the pumpkins that we picked on our last Date Night outing … and we had a blast! David’s sisters Lara and Eden helped out immensely (they were great at scooping out all the pumpkin guts) and Eden baked up all the pumpkin seeds but David and I did the actual carving … behold:

David adeptly carved his design and I went old skool … it was really fun :)

After the pumpkins were carved, we took the girls to XIV for dinner … and ate our faces off. Sadly, the girls have already made their way to the airport and should be taking off for the East Coast any moment now. It was great having them here … hopefully next time they can stay longer.

This afternoon, David and I are going to a performance of The Laramie Project at the United Methodist Church in Hollywood, CA and then are meeting up with some friends for our weekly Sunday night hang session. Fun!!

As if seeing new photos of shirtless David Beckham weren’t enough to excite your Sunday, it is time once again to gawk and gander at the Hot Dude of the Week! So lean back and say hello to Colin:

You kinda gotta love a guy whose abs are ripped to the point that a person could scrub a load of laundry on them. I believe the word you are looking for is Hubba-Hubba. I am happy to report that the temperatures here in SoCal remain in the high awesome range (it’s supposed to be in the low 80’s today) and photos like this one of Colin seem absolutely apropos. Today would be a great day to hit the beach and take in the sights. Happy Hot Day to you and yours!!

Congratulations are in order for the Los Angeles Galaxy who won the MLS Western Conference Championship title for the first time since 2002 after they defeated the San Jose Earthquakes by a score of 2-0 at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA last night. I’m not sure how much help David Beckham was in the win but he looked good on the field so, that should count for something, right?

The Los Angeles Galaxy continued their improbable rise from the depths of MLS with Saturday’s 2-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes that clinched their first Western Conference regular season title since 2002. The Galaxy, playing in front of a sold-out crowd of 27,000 at The Home Depot Center, were the recipient of some good fortune in the win, their first against their bitter northern California rivals this season in three tries in the “California Clasico.” The victory gave the Galaxy (12-6-12) 48 points and first place in the West, no matter the outcome of Sunday’s regular-season finale between Chivas USA and the Houston Dynamo. The Galaxy own the head-to-head tiebreaker with both teams, should one of them tie the Galaxy for points. The Galaxy, which tied for the worst record in MLS only a year ago, certainly hope their first West regular season title in seven years is a good omen. The last they won the West, they also won the MLS Cup. They just missed out that season on a double when they were beaten by the Columbus Crew in the U.S. Open Cup final. The Galaxy got a badly needed insurance goal in the 77th minute when Chris Klein, who had just come on as a substitute for Mike Magee, sent a beautiful pass to Landon Donovan who had gotten behind defender Brandon McDonald. Donovan took the pass, then beat an onrushing Cannon through his legs for his 12th goal of the season. The Galaxy dominated for most of Saturday’s match, especially in a first half which featured several good chances before ironically taking the lead on what amounted to a fluke goal. It was just five minutes into the match when the Galaxy had its first chance on an 8-yard blast by defender Sean Franklin after a wild scramble just outside the goal crease and directly in front of the San Jose net. But his attempt never made it through a group of players and was blocked by McDonald, a former member of the Galaxy. Then it was David Beckham’s turn 12 minutes later. San Jose’s Bobby Convey was called for a foul and then received a caution for dissent to set up a free kick from about 28 yards. Beckham expertly curved the ball over and around the Earthquakes defensive wall, but the ball sailed wide of the net by no more than a yard. San Jose, which was on a four-game (1-0-3) unbeaten streak on the road, finally showed some life on offense barely two minutes later when a shot by Ramiro Corrales just missed the Galaxy net from about 20 yards. The Galaxy, however, clearly were holding the upper hand in quality chances. Dema Kovalenko, for example, known more for his defensive play, got into the offensive flow and barely chipped one over the crossbar in the 22nd minute. That led to the Galaxy’s unusual score two minutes later. Donovan simply was attempting a cross into the penalty area when San Jose’s Bobby Burling stuck out his foot. The ball was deflected just enough, sailed high over the outstretched hand of Earthquakes goalie Joe Cannon and landed in the far corner of the net for a stunning own goal and 1-0 Galaxy lead. The Earthquakes responded with their best chance of the opening 45 minutes. It was just two minutes later when Corrales attempted a free kick and sent the ball deep into the Galaxy penalty area. McDonald, streaking toward the net, got his head on it. Galaxy goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts, however, got his hand on it and made the save. The Galaxy had three more scoring opportunities in the half, first on Edson Buddle’s 22-yard attempt that Cannon saved easily; Chris Birchall’s attempt from a sharp angle that went wide of the net and, finally, another Beckham free kick. This one, in the 35th minute, was from 30 yards and went just high over the crossbar. By virtue of the victory, the Galaxy now know they will be the road team in the first leg of next week’s Western Conference Semifinal Series. But whether they travel to Houston — or remain right at home for the first-ever SuperClasico playoff series against fellow Home Depot Center residents Chivas USA — remains to be seen.

Hurray!! This is great news for the Galaxy … and the news just keeps getting better. As is his custom, Becks stripped off his jersey after the match and paraded around the grounds showin’ off his fine physique. After the jump, check out a few pics of hawt Becks stripped down to the waist …

A couple weeks ago we learned that Prince performed a couple of impromptu live concerts at the Grand Palais in Paris, France after attending a few fashion shows at Paris Fashion Week. Earlier this week, Prince announced on his new official website LOTUSFLOW3R.com that he would be performing again at Paisley Park studio in Minneapolis, MN … and last night was the night. Prince is famous for his legendary late night concert performances at Paisley Park in the 80’s and 90’s but he has since slowed down the practice. The last time he played a show at Paisley Park was in 2004 in celebration of the release of his album Musicology … needless to say, those in attendance at last night’s show were in for a very special treat:

Thirty years into his career, the Minnesota icon showed his faithful something new Saturday night at Paisley Park in Chanhassen: It was his smoothest (read most efficiently run) show there ever. The show advertised for 11 p.m. actually started at 11:10, unheard of at Paisley, where shows typically have started whenever Prince feels like it (read 1 a.m. at the earliest). For the first time, he even offered a free shuttle-bus service so people could leave their vehicles at a nearby park-and-ride and take a plush bus for a 8-minute drive to Paisley. How slick was that? Late-night shows were commonplace at Paisley in the late 1990s but Prince had not done any announced shows there since 2004 after his Musicology Tour concerts at Xcel Energy Center. Those soirees cost $50 whereas Saturday’s gig (which was announced late Friday afternoon) cost $31.21 for fan-club members and $40 for others. Many of the people at Paisley this time seemed to be first-timers for the late-night Purple experience. How was the show? Prince played 10 minutes short of three hours — without changing his outfit. That’s a first. My quickie review (a full review will be posted later) is that he showed more versatility and musicality in the first hour than Michael Jackson did in his entire career. Prince started with a bunch of tunes from this year’s “Lotusflow3r” collection and then he paraded through his hits, especially from the 1980s. In fact, I don’t recall one tune from the ’90s and only “Feel 4 U” from the ’70s. With his horn-less band, Prince has never sounded funkier at Paisley. He was talkative and humorous, loose and spontaneous, calling out songs and arrangements as well as an occasional “so-low” for himself on guitar. He saluted the Time, the Doobie Brothers and the Jackson 5 in song and verbally acknowledged his debt to James Brown, the Jacksons, Chaka Khan, Rufus, Stevie Wonder, Sly Stone, Joni Mitchell and Tower of Power. His pal Larry Graham sat in on bass for a series of Sly & the Family Stone tunes, and backup singer Shelby J stepped out front on a couple of selections, most notably “The Arms of an Angel.” But this show was about Prince and his love of funk and his guitar prowess. He even offered a little “country western” guitar passage, as he put it, and one of his more passionate versions of “Purple Rain” to close the evening.

Judging from the songs alluded to in this report, it sounds like the last night’s setlist was very similar to the ones he performance in France recently. I gotta tell you, if I had more time to plan I might’ve hopped a plane to Minneapolis to attend last night’s concert. I have always DREAMED of seeing a show at Paisley Park … Mecca for Prince fans. I’ve been extremely jealous of the fans who live close enough to attend these performances. I hope that I will, one day, be able to see one of these shows … here’s hoping last night’s performance wasn’t the last Paisley Park show ever.
