BUNDCHEN PILED ON THE POUNDS AFTER GIVING UP CIGARETTES

Brazilian model GISELE BUNDCHEN piled on 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms) within weeks of quitting smoking at the beginning of 2007. The catwalk beauty gave up cigarettes as a New Year's resolution, which delighted her clean-cut sports star boyfriend Tom Brady - but the big quit played havoc on her weight. Bundchen tells Britain's GQ magazine, "When you stop smoking you gain weight, because food tastes better than when it tasted like (an) ashtray."
