"So, should we connect the dots between witchcraft and divorce? We don’t know the inside story of anyone’s relationships, but we do know that God saves and the devil destroys."

Gisele Bündchen, 42, is campier than ever on the cover of Vogue Italia’s March issue — so much so that some fans think her high-fashion look is verging on drag. On the Brazilian’s first Vogue cover since her high-profile divorce from oft-retired Tom Brady, Bündchen rocks a blood-red über-short ’do with matching ultra-thin red eyebrows, along with dark, graphic eye makeup and a red silk Valentino dress.

The New England Patriots are visiting the White House today to receive congratulations from the president for their Super Bowl XLIX championship. But the team's victory lap in the nation's capital will come without their biggest star. Quarterback Tom Brady is snubbing President Barack Obama and won't be there.
