It’s official!
Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady wed today at the St. Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica, Calif., Usmagazine.com confirms.
The bride, 28, donned a form-fitting ivory lace strapless gown with a trumpet skirt, scalloped edges, long train and a floor-length veil with attached handmade satin roses and attached satin headband, all by Dolce & Gabbana. Her three dogs also wore matching Dolce & Gabbana floral lace collars.
Dolce & Gabbana most recently dressed Fergie for her January nuptials to Josh Duhamel.
The ceremony — which began at dusk — was “very small and intimate,” a source tells Us, adding that guests mostly consisted of immediate family. Brady’s son with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, John Edward Thomas Moynahan, was also present.
(Fitting, as Bundchen once described her ideal wedding as “a simple ceremony…I don’t like parties, I prefer something more intimate, just for the closest people.”)

Reps did not immediately return calls.
The Brazilian-born supermodel has been dating the New England Patriots quarterback, 31, since 2006.
A pal close to the couple told Us Bundchen and Brady are perfect together.
“She’s definitely ‘The One,’” the source said. “She really makes him comfortable and just happy.”
Engagement rumors began to surface about the couple late last year. First, TMZ.com announced Brady popped the question Dec. 24 on a private plane, then People claimed they planned to wed in Costa Rica.
Bundchen, however, slammed both reports as false.
“Someone deduced I was getting engaged…I don’t know how people are so creative,” she told Brazilian magazine Caras Gi last month after receiving over 100 e-mails from pals asking about the engagement.
The couple purchased an $11.7 million plot of land in a gated community in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles late last year.

JEREMY PIVEN is on the hook. He goes before the grievance committee of Actors’ Equity tomorrow to defend his much-snickered-at claim that high levels of mercury in his bloodstream, brought on by a passion for sushi, forced him to abandon the Broadway revival of David Mamet’s “Speed-the-Plow.”
Piven is expected to attend the hearing, which will be held at Equity headquarters on West 46th Street, so that he can make his case in person, sources told The Post.
“It’s my understanding that he’ll be there - unless he has too much sushi on the plane from LA,” joked a person involved in the proceedings.
The producers of “Speed-the-Plow” brought Piven up on charges with Equity, arguing that his abrupt departure in December from the $3.5 million production wreaked havoc with their recoupment schedule.
Piven will appear before a committee of five actors and five producers. He is expected to brandish the results of a blood test given to him by his doctor, and will likely give a blow-by-blow account of his illness during the show.
Last month, Piven agreed to a blood test administered by a doctor hired by the producers of “Speed-the-Plow.”
The results of that test have not been revealed, but the producers are expected to allege that long before he claimed to be ill, Piven was agitating to leave the show.
He called several prominent actors on his own and begged them to replace him, sources said. He was also overheard telling people backstage that he was “bored out of his mind” in the show.
The producers also have a record of where Piven’s car and driver took him after performances, sources say.
Although Piven claimed he was so ill that he often went home after the show, sources say the log shows that he spent many nights out on the town.
The producers will also point out that in the past, many ailing stars have taken a leave of absence from a show but have returned when they felt better.
“Unless it’s a life-or-death situation, you usually find a temporary replacement and then negotiate a return,” said a producer not involved with “Speed-the-Plow.”
Piven informed the producers he was sick, then jumped on a plane to Los Angeles and announced he was not returning to the show.
“There was no discussion, no negotiation - he was just gone,” said a source.
If the grievance committee rules against Piven, it can force him to settle financially with the producers. If he refuses to abide by the committee’s decision, he can be expelled from the union - and the producers are free to go after him in civil court.
Although there are five actors on the committee, theater sources say Piven should not count on their support.
“I don’t think many theater actors are in favor of what he’s doing,” a veteran producer said. “They take jobs on Broadway very seriously, and he’s a Hollywood actor, behaving like one.”
Another top producer not involved with “Speed-the-Plow” pointed out that Equity has a responsibility to Piven’s co-stars, Raul Esparza and Elisabeth Moss, who were said to be upset with his behavior.
“What is the union telling a professional like Esparza, if they protect Jeremy Piven?” the producer said.
Reps for Piven could not be reached in time for comment.

LILY ALLEN has been sounding off about how much she likes naked lapdances and LINDSAY LOHAN.
She likes nothing better than spending the night ogling scantily clad young women in stripclubs.
I have to admit that she is starting to sound like the perfect woman to me.
The singer, enjoying her fourth week at the top of the singles chart with The Fear, said: “I signed my publishing deal at Stringfellows and had a private dance. One of the naked ones.
“And I went to Spearmint Rhino the other day — for six hours. I’ve had lapdances there. It’s fun. I like having a chat with the strippers.”
Last month she also confessed that she once “snogged lesbian twins on a couch in San Diego”.
No wonder she has become such good friends with wild child actress LINDSAY LOHAN.
The pair have got so pally during Lil’s latest promotional stint in the US that they are planning a holiday together.
A source said: “They have been getting on really well and they’re planning a summer escape, along with Lindsay’s girlfriend SAMANTHA RONSON.
“They’ve discussed the Bahamas, and are also planning a trip to the Coachella Music Festival in April to see AMY WINEHOUSE perform.”
And it looks like the young stars, who have got matching ‘Shhh’ tattoos, are planning to mix business with pleasure.
The source added: “They’ve discussed making a record together, possibly at a pre-arranged studio, while they’re away on holiday.”
Sounds like a terrible idea.
It takes a brave man to get involved with Lily. One false step and you could easily end up as the subject of one of her scathing songs.
So it’s lucky for her most recent conquest, TOM DINSDALE from AUDIO BULLYS, that he seems to be keeping her happy at the moment.
In more ways than one.
In a frank interview with Q magazine Lily revealed naughty details about her fling with Tom.
After snogging him in front of the Q reporter, she said: “The hunk in my kitchen. Well, he’s hot. He’s cute, isn’t he? I had a sleep-over two nights ago and he came along.
“Quite young, for me. About 35. What d’you wanna know? How big his ***k is? It’s very nice.”
In case things don’t work out with Lil, I’m sure Tom will have no shortage of female attention after that glowing report.

In 2005, Joaquin Phoenix was an awards season favorite following his portrayal of Johnny Cash in Walk the Line, but fast-forward four years and he’s the newest object of unshaven mockery.
Late last year, Phoenix announced that he was retiring from acting to instead pursue a life-long dream of being a rapper. However, his recent (and very public) temper tantrums, bizarre behavior and unruly appearance have raised grave health concerns for the 34-year-old. Earlier this month, a disillusioned Phoenix appeared on The David Letterman Show where he spoke in monosyllabic slurs and stuck gum underneath the desk — providing great material for the 2009 Academy Awards on Sunday.
While presenting alongside Natalie Portman, Ben Stiller (donning an over-sized scruffy wig and fake beard) chomped loudly on his gum, prompting Portman (who was also in on the act) to chastise him. Stiller then pulled a Phoenix and stuck his gum on the podium.

The day before at the Independent Spirit Awards Phoenix also found himself the brunt of the joke. Comic host Steve Coonan dressed up as Batman and mimicked an uncensored “Christian Bale rant” alongside an actor resembling a highly disheveled, dribbling Phoenix. The next presenters on stage were “Juno” stars Ellen Page and Jason Bateman.
“Oh Ellen Page, why haven’t we seen you in a year?” Bateman asked. “Have you quit acting?”
So while we’re all laughing at these people pretending to be the actor-turned-rapper, it seems he is actually the one secretly laughing at all of us.
“Joaquin wanted this, of course he knew (about the parodies) because it’s all part of a very strategic plan,” said our inside source. “He is selling it all as a documentary not about his musical career but the whole issue of public persona. It’s all a big joke and he’s not pursuing rapping seriously no matter what he says.”
Phew - Ben Stiller can probably breathe a sigh of relief too.
“Ben (Stiller) was just going along with the joke that Joaquin started,” added our insider. “He wasn’t poking fun at him, there are no hard feelings.”
A rep for Phoenix did not respond for comment.

Robert Pattinson likes to sink his teeth into a good party.
The “Twilight” hottie milled about Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell’s recent bash in the Hills with a beer constantly in hand - and showed no signs of slowing down.
“I’m planning on staying up all night,” we overheard him tell a throng of admirers. “I’ve got a flight to Toyko in the morning, and there’s no point going to bed. I’m just going to pull an all-nighter!”
Between greeting fans of the female persuasion, Pattinson found the time to chat with a mascared and guy-linered Jared Leto. Other guests at the fete included Benicio Del Toro, Zach Braff, Mary-Kate Olsen and Jeremy Piven.

Chris Brown is taking anger-management classes.
The troubled R&B singer, who was arrested two weeks ago on suspicion of making criminal threats against girlfriend Rihanna, attended his first class in Glendale, Calif., on Monday afternoon.
According to a source, Brown opted for anger management at the behest of his spin doctor, Michael Sitrick. “Chris doesn’t actually have to go by law,” our insider tells us, “but he believes it will make him look better to the public, and he wants to try to get in a few classes before March 5,” his court date.
The Feb. 7 incident - in which Brown allegedly assaulted Rihanna and left her with cuts and bruises to her forehead, lips and cheeks - didn’t just stir up controversy. It tarnished Brown’s good-guy image so badly that several of his endorsement deals were suspended, including commercials for Wrigley’s gum and the Milk Mustache campaign. Brown’s songs have also been temporarily taken off the air at a handful of radio stations.
But insiders are rumbling that Chris shouldn’t be taking the anger management classes alone. “Rihanna is temperamental, too,” says our snitch. “They’re both too hot-headed for their own good.”
Adds another source: “It didn’t help that Rihanna grabbed the keys out of his rented Lamborghini and threw them down the street. She knew it would really infuriate Chris, and it worked.”
Look for a Chris/Rihanna reunion soon, though - at least physically. The songbird, who celebrated her 21st birthday on Friday and is hanging out at home in Barbados, will be L.A.-bound to attend Brown’s trial.
“She’ll be there - she has to testify,” confirms our snitch, who doesn’t foresee any jail time for Brown. “If Chris is convicted, it would be his first offense. He won’t go to prison. ”

The “Miss Congeniality” star says she now shares her mattress nightly with a three-legged Chihuahua-Po meranian named Poppy, a two-legged Chihuahua named Ruby, and Kernie, a Labrador mix, as well as her tattooed biker-hubby, Jesse James. The dogs are “always on my side,” Bullock tells next month’s In Style, adding she’s so lonely without them that once, “on a beautiful sexy vacation . . . I’m going, ‘I miss Poppy.’ ”

Britney Spears is putting on a magic show!
The pop star will be sawed in half — among other stunts — on her upcoming Circus tour, according to E! News.
“Right away, she got into the boxes and into the magic contraptions to learn the stuff, and she’s so excited about this tour and all the elements that are in it,” illusionist-comedian Ed Alonzo said.
Alonzo, known as “the Misfit of Magic,” will be doing a number with Spears at each performance.
“We’re going to be doing the classics of magic but a little high-tech,” he said. “We’ll be doing a little dissection, transposition, a vanish, an appearance,” he said.
Spears will serve as Alonzo’s assistant during the bit, but that won’t stop her from missing out on the fun.
“If I do a trick, she doesn’t just hold the props, she’s actually getting inside the big boxes or I am slicing her up.”
He added: I “made [the tricks] really easy for her, but there are some complicated things that she is doing that you would think a contortionist would have to do, or a trained magician’s assistant. But because she’s a dancer, it really makes sense to put her in the magic, and it works and she’s really, really good at it.”
Alonzo would not comment on which Spears song will accompany their joint performance, but he did say that the three-ring circus set helps them get into character.
“It’s like watching a big Cirque du Soleil high-tech circus, but with a really focused star in the middle of all of this,” he said. “It’s going to be an amazing concert for people to watch.”
