Tom Brady Shows Off Shirtless Bod ... In Clothing Brand Ad
4/7/22
Tom Brady is showing, yet again, he's kicking Father Time's ass -- revealing on Thursday that he's got a GREAT bod!!!
TB12 just shared an ad for his clothing brand on his social media page ... and in the footage, you can see Tom is looking jacked these days.
The clip starts with the 44-year-old talking to someone off-camera while shirtless -- and you can see in the commercial, his pecs, biceps and shoulders are looking huge.
Later in the footage, as he put the camera toward the ground -- he revealed his quads look ripped as hell too!!
Brady, though, didn't stay without clothes for too long (sorry, everyone) -- because after he "stepped on" his phone, he donned one of his "Brady Brand" jackets in an effort to get fans to buy the swag.
Of course, Brady hasn't always had a body like this -- he famously was a bit doughy coming out of Michigan in 2000.
No player who ran a slower 40 time than Tom Brady at the 2000 NFL combine (5.28) played in HALF the games that Brady has so far (290).

Closest was @MarkTauscher65 (5.37) who Packers drafted 25 picks after Brady in the 7th round.
Played in 142 games.pic.twitter.com/D3KfQlaKDK
But, he's been all avocados and protein in the years since -- and the results are hard to ignore.
As for his clothing line -- which he kicked off back in January -- the jacket he was hawking in the ad comes with a $145 price tag ... but if it makes ya look anything like Tom does in it, that's a bargain in our book!

"Love Is Blind" stars Kyle Abrams and Deepti Vempati are spending time together once again ... posing in a joint photo shoot!
Portrait photographer Josh Beaton tells TMZ ... Kyle reached out to him online a few weeks back, wanting to do a shoot. Kyle followed up, asking if he could bring Deepti as well.
The photos -- taken earlier this week -- were meant to play off masculine stereotypes, putting Kyle in a dress with some earrings. Josh -- who hasn't seen "LIB" -- said Kyle and Deepti didn't do anything romantic, but there was real chemistry. They arrived together but took photos separately.
Of course, Kyle inviting Deepti further fuels relationship rumors ... as we reported, the two were walking the streets of Wicker Park in Chicago a few weeks ago, following their reunion episode.
As they walked into a restaurant, Kyle briefly put his hand on her back ... it's not a lock, but it's a sign for sure.
While their season ended with each getting engaged to other people, both called off their weddings -- with Deepti taking a hard pass at the alter. The reunion episode revealed Kyle's biggest regret was not proposing to Deepti.
Come on, guys ... love may be blind but it sure ain't dumb!

Rihanna Shoppin' for Baby Clothes ... Check Out My Bump!!!
Rihanna is getting ready to welcome her baby to the world, and she's doing it in high style.
RiRi hit up Couture Kids in L.A. Friday, and it looks like the store stayed open specially for her ... she showed up at around 9:45 PM.
She was there with her security detail, casually browsing and picking out stuff for the bambino. Rihanna was flying solo ... without A$AP Rocky.
Rihanna was super friendly ... interacting with staff as she shopped. At one point in the video, you see her baby bump on full display. Don't know the due date, but clearly, she's getting ready.
There was a bank of photogs in the window ... and at one point she threw them all a bone with a pose.
As Rihanna left, you hear a fan scream, "You are such a beautiful pregnant woman" and Rihanna responded, "Thank you, mi amora."
She then got into the SUV, which drove away.

Virgil Abloh Signed Off-White AJ1s Hit Auction ... Could Fetch $15k+

Exclusive
- 590 shares
Several pairs of Virgil Abloh's Off-White collab with Nike are hitting the auction block ... but they're even more rare than usual -- they're actually signed by the late fashion icon.
TMZ Sports has learned ... one pair included in Sotheby's Modern Collectibles catalog is the Air Jordan 1 x OFF-WHITE "UNC" ... which features the famous "Off-White For Nike" label and red zip tie.
These blue and white sneakers are also signed by the fashion icon -- reading "Virgil 2018" on one shoe and "HODEI" (which means cloud) on the other.
The bids for the Js have already surpassed Sotheby's initial estimate for the sneakers ... which was $10k.
There's another signed pair in this auction ... the yellow and green Louis Vuitton "LV Trainers" that debuted in 2019 when Abloh was the luxury line's artistic director.
The shoes are signed "Air Abloh" and come with two Polaroids of him posing with them. These, too, have already exceeded the max estimate of $12k.
But, for those who want it all, "The Ten" collection features the first ten designs Abloh had with Nike when he signed with the Swoosh in 2017 -- it's considered one of the "most ambitious" collaborations with Nike and is expected to sell for $40k.
This is not the first time Sotheby's has auctioned off the legend's sneaks -- in fact, 200 pairs of his LV Air Force 1s sold earlier this year for a "record-breaking" $25.3 million.
Of course, getting your hands on any sneakers by Abloh will be tough and expensive ... especially after the fashion designer's death in November 2021.
The auction ends on April 5.

Vanessa Bryant did it!
Kobe's widow just announced the Bryant family's longtime partnership with Nike has been renewed ... after Vanessa previously said she was parting ways with the Swoosh over money and shoe availability issues.
The previous contract ended in April 2021 after Vanessa was reportedly looking for a "lifetime" contract, similar to what LeBron James and Michael Jordan have gotten.
But, Thursday Vanessa announced both sides were able to come to an agreement to bring Kobe -- and Gigi -- under the Nike brand once again.
"We're excited to announce our partnership with Nike is going to continue! I am so proud that my husband's shoes are still the most worn by players on NBA courts and that the demand for his shoes remain so desired by his fans around the world," Bryant wrote.
And, Vanessa made it clear the deal isn't about financial gain -- it's about continuing to grow Kobe and Gigi's legacy through youth basketball.
"With this new partnership, fans will soon be able to have access to Kobe and Gigi Nike product for years to come and with Nike donating 100% of the net proceeds yearly for Gianna’s shoes to our Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation (M&MSF)."
Vanessa continued ... "I am also grateful that Nike and I will work together to establish a youth basketball center in Southern California that will share the Mamba Mentality with youth athletes for generations to come. I know this is an inspiring moment for my husband and daughter's global fans, and I am very appreciative of each and every one of you!"
The Gigi shoe will reportedly be a custom version of the Kobe 6 Protro, dubbed the "Mambacita Sweet Sixteen."
Kobe famously joined Nike in 2003 after a short stint with Adidas.

Kourtney Kardashian and fiancé, Travis Barker, are very much one and the same -- at least when it comes to what they wear to dinner -- matching up in black leather.
The lovebirds were spotted locking lips and walking hand-in-hand, as they attended a private party inside NOBU Malibu Wednesday. Check out their outfits, each decked out in what appears to be leather ... Kourtney in a two-piece ensemble and Travis rocking a jumpsuit.
Funny enough, Trav's jumper looks very similar to Kim K's Prada fit she recently wore to a meeting with Vogue editors in Milan -- though hers was a different color.
As you know, Travis got down on bended knee back in October to pop the question -- and, the two have been locked in ever since -- though there's not yet a publicly announced wedding date.
Of course, other members of the Kardashian/Jenners were also at NOBU for the Revolve and Good American party ... including Khloe and Kendall. Khloe went for a denim on denim ensemble and Kendall wore all white.

The Leafs announced the collab on Tuesday ... saying Auston Matthews and Co. will wear the sweaters for their Next Gen game on Wednesday as a way to "celebrate" the youth and "future of hockey."

But, the threads are a bit of a two-fer -- fans can actually put the jersey inside out to reveal a Drew House-inspired black and yellow jersey with the eyes of the signature smiley logo etched in the middle of the Leafs emblem.
Bieber -- who's always been obsessed with the Leafs -- spoke out about the collab ... saying, "My love for the Maple Leafs has always been a big part of who I am, and my passion for the team, and the passion of millions of fans, is stitched into this Next Gen sweater."

Rihanna Wearing Diamond On Ring Finger ... Otherwise Engaged???
Rihanna might have love on the brain ... rocking a massive diamond on her ring finger while doing some baby prep!
RiRi's expecting her first child with boyfriend A$AP Rocky ... she was out shopping for baby clothes Monday in L.A. at Kitson. The huge rock -- which she's worn before on different fingers in the past -- was now exactly where it should be ... if, of course, an engagement actually went down.
She was wearing the same bling back in November on her middle finger as she was named Barbados' 11th National Hero.
The Rihanna diamond goes back to July 2021 ... she was wearing it on her right ring finger while shooting a music video with A$AP in New York.
She was also wearing a fitted tee ... proudly showing off her growing baby bump.
As we reported, the couple announced their pregnancy at the end of January. They started dating in early 2020.
Rihanna and A$AP have not publicly announced an engagement, and it's true, we've seen the ring before, but wouldn't that be awesome?!??!

Kim Kardashian Hosts SKIMS Launch Dinner Khloe, Naomi, Hulu Attend
Kim Kardashian played dinner host in Miami over the weekend for some of her hottest and most famous friends to celebrate the launch of her SKIMS Swim line ... and you can bet Hulu cameras were there, too.
The whole thing went down Saturday at Swan -- David Grutman and Pharrell's restaurant -- where guests dined on pizza, prawns, artichokes, brussels sprouts and more.
As for the guestlist, Khloe Kardashian, Naomi Osaka, Karolina Kournikova, Amanda Anisimova, Malika Haqq, Candice Swanepoel, Lourdes Leon, and Emma Grede -- to name a few.
We're told Kim opened the dinner with a toast to thank everyone for attending the big launch ... something she and her team have put a ton of work into. Hulu cameras were on hand to capture Kim's entire trip.
TMZ broke the story -- lines for the SKIMS Swim popup in South Beach were INSANE over the weekend ... Kim, Khloe and friends Olivia Pierson, Natalie Halcro, Stephanie Shepherd and Tracy Romulus all stopped by the shop before the celebratory dinner.
Of course, while Kim's launch went swimmingly, the event came just a couple days after it was announced BF Pete Davidson's launch to space will no longer happen. The Blue Origin trip -- originally scheduled for March 23 -- was pushed to the 29th without Pete.

Kim Kardashian has a new line of SKIMS hitting the market ... and the people seem more than eager to get a taste.
Check out these lines that had formed early Saturday in the Miami design district outside of a pop-up store there that was all set to start hawking the brand's new line, just in time for summer. It's called SKIMS Swim ... so yes, her shapewear company is doing bathing suits.
As you can see ... the amount of people waiting to get their hands on some is insane -- the line literally snakes through a plaza courtyard and then around the block.
We've heard some people even waited there overnight to hold their spot ... and for good reason. The collection is almost all sold out at this point, save for a few pieces.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
This is the first pop-up SKIMS has done in Miami, and it would seem the debut was well-received and then some by paying customers.
BTW, the line comes with a handful of color options -- in addition to SKIMS's known neutral skin tone colors, there are some others that really pop ... like cobalt blue and periwinkle violet.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
And, of course, there are different designs for the types of suits you can snatch up -- including a traditional 2-piece bikini, or some pieces that cover up a bit more. Better hurry ... they're going like hotcakes!

French Prez Emmanuel Macron Rockin' Street Clothes at Work ... Zelensky-Inspired Look???
Volodymyr Zelensky is winning hearts with his bravery -- but he may be winning in fashion too ... because another national leader seems to be taking some dress cues from him.
Here's French President Emmanuel Macron taking care of business in the Golden Room of the Élysée Palace ... where he's hard at work in his office, taking international calls and dealing with the Ukraine crisis -- all while looking super gruff and incredibly dressed-down.
Compared to how Macron normally gets done up --suited, booted and clean-shaven -- this is kind of the exact opposite appearance ... the guy's in a hoodie and jeans for crying out loud!
No shade on Macron (these threads actually work for him) ... but some think Zelensky may have something to do with his attire choice here, because as you know -- VZ has been all about the casual, man-of-the-people getup throughout all this.
Zelensky has constantly been seen rockin' green T-shirts and hoodies and the like ... all while letting a little stubble grow on his mug. Here, too, Macron is growing out his beard and sporting a similar appearance.
Like we said ... this may be perceived as Macron ripping off Zelensky's style -- perhaps even for some brownie points with the international community -- but even if that's the case ... you could consider it the ultimate compliment and the utmost flattery, which ain't terrible.
Fact is ... the dude is a total badass, and the world seems to have caught on to that. So, if some presidents wanna pay homage with a little mirror imaging ... so be it! The more the merrier.
The question now is ... will Joe Biden start showing up to the White House in tennis shoes and dad hats??? That remains to be seen, but in France -- Macron's projecting true grit.

Lady Gaga Critics Choice Awards a Bust!!!
Lady Gaga is one confident woman, but she barely held it together Sunday night at the Critics Choice Awards.
Gaga was nominated for Best Actress for her role in "House of Gucci" ... so it stands to reason she wore a black and gold Gucci dress. The deep cut had eyes popping.
Gaga's plus one was BF Michael Polansky, and dare we say ... one lucky guy!
She did double duty Sunday ... she appeared at the BAFTA Awards in London earlier in the day, then did an outfit swap to appear at the Critics Choice Awards -- being held in both Los Angeles and London -- making an entrance at The Savoy Hotel.
Gaga was nominated for Best Actress at both award ceremonies ... she came up empty-handed at both. Nevertheless ... she killed on stage.
