Actress Bridget Moynahan is sitting next to late-night talk show host Craig Kilborn, looking her babelicious best in a mini black dress and knee-high black boots. Bridget is there to plug her latest movie, but, naturally, the conversation turns instead to her equally babelicious boyfriend, reigning Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady.
Bridget talks about what a great guy Tom is. She smiles. "And he hasn't lost since I've known him!" Whoa, hang on a second. Could it be, the curse of the high-profile relationship has skipped this golden couple?
