GISELE BUNDCHEN IS ASKING HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO PRAY FOR "TOMMY" Something tells me TOM BRADY isn't going to be able to live this down in the locker room or on the playing field on Sunday . . . Tom's wife GISELE BUNDCHEN sent an e-mail to family and friends asking them to PRAY for Tom so that he and the New England Patriots can, "fulfill their dream of winning this Super Bowl."
--The e-mail reads, "My sweet friends and family. This Sunday will be a really important day in my husband's life. He and his team worked so hard to get to this point and now they need us more than ever to send them positive energy so they can fulfill their dream of winning this Super Bowl.
--"I FEEL TOMMY REALLY NEEDS OUR PRAYER, OUR SUPPORT AND LOVE AT THIS TIME.
--"So I kindly ask all of you to join me on this positive chain and pray for him, so he can feel confident, healthy and strong. Envision him happy and fulfilled experiencing with his team a victory this Sunday." Not surprisingly, the "New York Post" put it on their front page yesterday. They also contacted Gisele about it. Her reply was, "I am surprised that you received this e-mail; it was a private note only sent to close friends and family."
IS KIM KARDASHIAN DATING JETS QUARTERBACK MARK SANCHEZ? --Sources say she first started hitting that BEFORE she dated KRIS HUMPHRIES. And they've been back at it since that relationship ended. And apparently they are very careful about not being seen together, because Mark is seeing someone!
--Meanwhile, one of the many things KRIS HUMPHRIES and KIM KARDASHIAN are arguing about is their wedding gifts . . . which include a Ferrari. No surprise here, but Kim is apparently hoarding the gifts, and he hasn't seen any of them since the wedding back in August.
--Kris thinks the gifts should have at least been split 50-50 . . . but not because he wants them for himself. He thinks they should all be RETURNED. And word is that if Kim and Kris end up in divorce court, the trial is likely to be TELEVISED. (Shocking.)
ROSEANNE IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT --She has officially filed papers seeking to become the Green Party candidate. She told the party, "I will barnstorm American living rooms. Mainstream media will be unable to ignore me, but more importantly they will be unable to overlook the needs of average Americans in the run-up to the 2012 election."
DONALD TRUMP HAS ENDORSED . . . MITT ROMNEY DONALD TRUMP made his big announcement yesterday. And despite rumors that he was going to endorse NEWT GINGRICH, he actually threw his support behind MITT ROMNEY. The big question is, does Trump's endorsement matter? In a poll of likely Republican voters last month, 64% said a Trump endorsement wouldn't make any difference, and 20% said it would actually make them LESS LIKELY to vote for a candidate. Only 13% said Trump's endorsement would make them MORE likely to back a candidate.
DID ASHTON KUTCHER VISIT DEMI MOORE ON WEDNESDAY? A few gossip websites are reporting that ASHTON KUTCHER visited DEMI MOORE at her . . . formerly THEIR . . . home on Wednesday.

"X FACTOR" RUMORS: BEYONCÉ AND MARIAH CAREY
Let the rampant "X Factor" speculation begin! Apparently SIMON COWELL wants BEYONCÉ to be a judge . . . and he's offering her $500 million to do it. Supposedly it would be a five-year deal . . . $100 million a year . . . and supposedly Beyoncé IS interested. (No kidding. For $100 million a year, the Queen of England would join "The View".)
--Meanwhile, there's also a lot of talk about MARIAH CAREY. Mariah's manager is "American Idol" judge RANDY JACKSON . . . and he addressed the rumors yesterday. He said that Mariah would "be amazing," but he, "doesn't know if that's ever going to happen."
--And it seems to be ON between Randy and ADAM LEVINE of "The Voice". In an interview airing on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" today, Ellen asks Adam about some comments Randy made recently. She says, "Randy said that 'The Voice' is basically kind of a second-chance place . . . People that don't get in someplace else go to 'The Voice'."
--And here's what Adam has to say to that: "I heard about this. Shame on Randy Jackson for saying that, because he out of anybody should know that if you're in this business you need second, third, fourth and fifth chances. So we love and embrace that being part of the show, [but] it was an irresponsible thing to say that."
