'I'm in paradise!' Bikini-clad Gisele Bundchen dotes on son Benjamin as they enjoy a sunshine break in Jamaica

By Emily Sheridan

Beach baby: Supermodel Gisele Bundchen and her son Benjamin, 22 months, enjoy a day at the beach in Jamaica

With her jet-setting lifestyle, Gisele Bundchen doesn't get much of a chance to slow things down and have a holiday,

But after getting a gap in her busy schedule, the working mother has jetted to Jamaica for a sunshine break with her toddler son Benjamin.

Although she has tweeted her excitement at visiting the Caribbean island for the first time, she was missing her husband Tom Brady, who has stayed at home in the U.S. to play American football with his team New England Patriots.

Strolling along the beach with her adorable 22-month-old son, the Brazilian displayed her fabulous figure in an animal-print string bikini.

Writing in her native tongue Portuguese, Gisele tweeted: It's my first time in Jamaica. It is a natural paradise! There is nothing more wonderful than being surrounded by nature.'

Meanwhile, in a new interview Gisele talks about her son's eating habits.

In an interview with the December issue of British Vogue, she describes Benjamin and stepson John collectively as 'my children'.

She said: 'My children, they are like white canvases. When Benjamin eats broccoli, he thinks it’s dessert.'

Smile for the camera: The doting supermodel captures candid photos for the family album

Gisele and Brady started dating in December 2006 - just weeks after he ended his three-year relationship with former Sex And The City star Bridget Moynahan.

However, just a few months into their romance, their relationship was rocked by news that Moynahan was pregnant with Brady's son John, who was born in August 2007.

Gisele and Brady wed in Santa Monica, California in February 2009 and welcomed their son Benjamin the following December.

Learning to swim: The supermodel's son wore inflatable arm bands as he enjoyed a swim in the warm Caribbean sea

During her stepson John's recent fourth birthday, she made a birthday cake from scratch for him.

She explained: 'Cocoa powder and coconut oil and, you know, those dried things - what are they called? That’s it! Dates - and I put them all in the processor, and whoosh! Delicious.'

Known for her stunning figure, Gisele says she tries to give her sisters fitness advice.

She said: 'Like I tell my five sisters, who don't work at it very hard at all (to stay fit), whatever you put in, you get out.

Refreshed: The model made sure she kept hydrated in the hot Caribbean sun by sipping water

'I'm not afraid of working hard at anything, whatever it is. I just always want to be the best that I can. People think if you look after yourself you're being selfish, you know.

'But what Tom taught me - and he is a living example of this - is that in order to be your best, you have to honour your own needs first.

'If I honour my needs first, I will be the best wife, the best mum, the best sister, the best friend. I have to come first, because then everyone benefits.'

Mel Gibson takes mystery blonde on a romantic date... to the scene of his humiliating arrest for DUI!

By Holly Thomas

Returning to the scene of the crime: Mel Gibson took a mystery blonde on a date to Moonshadows restaurant in Malibu last night, where he was arrested for DUI in 2006

He's been trying to rebuild his image recently, with his friend Robert Downey Jr. making a moving plea for Hollywood to 'forgive him his trespasses.'

So one would imagine that Mel Gibson would do everything he could not to remind the public of certain embarrassing incidents in the past which have tarnished his popularity.

The actor has caused controversy by taking a mystery new love interest to the scene of his humiliating DUI arrest in 2006.

Mel was spotted leaving Moodshadows restaurant in Malibu with the unknown blonde last night.

The actor exited first by the back door, and was shortly followed by his companion.

Mel's date was tall and slender, dressed casually in a black leather jacket and black leggings.

The pair were then whisked away in Mel's waiting Smart Car.

Wise move? Mel has been trying to rebuild his image in Hollywood since the humiliating affair

Mel, 55, was sporting some rather clumsy looking brown leather sandals, which proved to be inappropriate footwear as he stood on his own toe while trying to get into a car.

Moodshadows is the restaurant where Mel was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol in 2006.

According to the police report, Gibson made antisemitic remarks to the arresting officer, saying: 'F****** Jews... the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.'

Low profile: Mel did his best to avoid the cameras, which is understandable given his past association with the restaurant

He has since apologised for his 'despicable' behavior, explaining that the comments were 'blurted out in a moment of insanity'.

His good friend Robert Downey Jr. urged Hollywood to forgive Mel his wrongdoing, saying at the American Cinemateque Awards this month: 'I urge you to forgive my friend his trespasses.'

Unfortunately the Braveheart star had suffered another blow to his reputation on the same week.

Fresh wounds: Mel suffered another blow to his reputation earlier this month when his ex Oksana Grigorieva, pictured in LA Superior court, said that he was not fit to have custody of their daughter

Gibson was involved in a car crash en route to Arizona only days beforehand, having left his 23-month-old daughter Lucia - who was staying with him at the time- in Malibu with a nanny.

Mel shares custody of his daughter with his ex girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, who he broke up with last year.

A source close to Oksana said: 'Mel was in the midst of a four day custody visit and he chose to go to Arizona. We’re told Lucia was left at Mel’s Malibu mansion in the care of a nanny, at the time he crashed his car.'

'When Oksana read about the accident on the internet, she became panicked because she thought Lucia was inevitably in the car with Mel at the time.'

'Mel had not informed Oksana that he was traveling nor did he provide regular updates about Lucia’s welfare,' they added.

Mel and Oksana have received an extension to conclude the terms of their custody agreement, which is still in dispute.
