GQ Photo/Martin SchoellerGQ magazine announced their "Men of the Year" honors today, with none other than New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady making the list once again. Brady appears on one version of the special issue, which hits newsstands on November 24.
Brady was given the "Comeback of the Year" award after returning from his season-ending knee injury in 2008 to lead his team to big wins this season. He joins "Leader of the Year" Barack Obama, "Badass of the Year" Clint Eastwood, "Breakout of the Year" Chris Pine" and "Funnymen of the Year" the cast of The Hangover, Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms.
The issue includes photos of Brady, doing, among other things, ironing, as well as an interview where he discusses family life, football and his impromptu wedding to supermodel Gisele Bundchen.
"We planned it in like ten days, and it was perfect," he told the magazine. "We went back to the house and I barbecued aged New York strips. We had champagne, a cake, some ice cream. It was a great night. I think you always have this idea that weddings need to be 200 people and you invite everybody, and I’m all for it if people want to do that, but I think there was really something special about just having our parents there."
For the record, Brady has appeared on the cover of the magazine twice before, including in 2005 and 2007, for their 50th anniversary celebration. Added with the most recent honor, that's three times more than Peyton Manning.

Tom Brady looks on after missing a crucial fourth-down play.
Visiting their rival Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium, the New England Patriots fell just short last night, losing to the Colts 35 to 34. The highly anticipated game lived up to the hype, and although the Patriots were dominant, unfortunate decisions and failed opportunities gave the Colts the victory.
Tom Brady put up good numbers in the game, topping Peyton Manning, to connect on 29 of 42 attempts for 375 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. The Patriots were down just twice in the game, after Indianapolis' opening score and their final touchdown late in the game. New England was up 24 to 14 at halftime, increasing the lead to 31 to 14 early in the fourth quarter. Their lead slowly dwindled as the game wound down with the Colts scoring three times for the win. With 2:33 left in the game, New England called their second timeout on what Brady called bad communication. Moving the ball eight yards, they used their final timeout just before the two-minute warning to ponder a fourth-and-two situation. Head coach Bill Belichick decided to go for it, and Brady's short pass to Kevin Faulk nearly connected for the first down, but Faulk bobbled the ball and was tackled short. While the Patriots could have challenged the ruling, they were out of timeouts and forced to hand the ball to the Colts at the New England 28-yard line.

Actress Lindsay Lohan at a screening of "Inglourious Basterds"
A taped telephone conversation between Michael and Dina Lohan, the parents of actress Lindsay Lohan, released by RadarOnline.com today suggests the actress was in a secret relationship with actor Heath Ledger just before his tragic January 2008 death.
On the recording, Dina Lohan vents her frustrations with Lindsay's behavior, including drinking alcohol and taking Adderall, a prescription drug used to treat ADD, stating, "Because when she's drunk or takes an Adderall with it she will do something like Heath Ledger did in a second without thinking." Dina Lohan goes on to tell Michael, "And she was dating Heath when he died. I don't know if you know that, but I know cause I would drop her off and they were friends very, very close, ok?" She also explains how Ledger's death affected Lindsay, stating "That f-f----d her up." Lindsay Lohan has constantly been in the news, both before and after Ledger's death, dealing with personal, professional and substance abuse problems, which Dina blames on her personal struggles, including the death of Ledger and another close friend. Heath Ledger was found dead in his Manhattan apartment on the afternoon of January 22, 2008, with numerous prescription drugs in his system. His death, at the age 28, was ruled accidental.

Ousted Miss California Carrie Prejean
Ousted Miss California Carrie Prejean continued her media parade this week by releasing a tell-all book, which among other things, blames society for her leaked nude photos and racy solo sex tape. Rather than taking responsibility for her actions, Prejean blames our "culture" for her misteps.
"Unfortunately, pornography has become mainstreamed -- it rushes at us through big screens, portable screens; soft-core porn is on mainstream TV cable stations, hard-core porn is just a mouse click away on the internet, and the envelope of what seems acceptable seems to get pushed farther and farther as more and more people are exposed to this material. The result is that girls grow up in a culture where it is hard to have an innocent, healthy, normal view of themselves, how they should behave, how they should act, and how they should dress."

Comedian Katt Williams
Comedian Katt Williams, who is known for his appearances in Friday After Next and his stand-up comedy, was reportedly arrested early this morning in suburban Atlanta on charges of burglary and criminal trespassing. TMZ.com obtained his mug shot from the arrest, in which he is smiling for the camera.
Police were called last night to a Newnan, Georgia, residence after a homeowner claimed Williams "gained entry by breaking into the home," taking jewelry and other undisclosed items. Williams was being held at the Coweta County Jail with an arraignment scheduled for later today. The entertainer has been in legal trouble before, with his most recent arrest coming last November in New York City. Police stopped Williams after he was spotted driving without license plates. A search of the car revealed three guns, but the weapons charges were later dropped for lack of evidence. Previous arrests for firearms date back to 2006, when he was sentenced to three years probation for carrying a concealed firearm. The comedian also canceled a 2008 appearance at The Comedy Festival in Las Vegas following erratic behavior that led to a psychiatric evaluation.
