New Victoria's Secret gal Selita Ebanks turned a few heads last night at Gillette Stadium, even when covered up with a Patriots jersey. And it turns out the leggy lingerie model is quite a student of football. "I'm a huge fan of Randy Moss and of course Tom Brady and the rest of the guys," Ebanks told a Globe reporter before the game. "They're breaking amazing records and they're great. I'm a huge fan," said Ebanks who is in the area for a couple of days promoting Victoria's Secret. (She doled out $500 gift cards to five lucky fans at the game last night and is hosting an invite-only pajama party tonight (at the Victoria's Secret at the Natick Collection). Ebanks laughed when asked about reports a couple of years back that she was out on the town with our own No. 12, who's since been busy dating supermodel Gisele Bundchen. "No, I don't know Tom. I met Tom at a party [in Florida] and he was introduced to me through a friend and that was it," said Ebanks, adding that her interest was purely about the gridiron. "Me, him, and Michael Strahan [of the New York Giants], all of us just talked football. I'm telling you I'm a huge football fan." As for the game, the catwalking cutie proved to be rather diplomatic on her prediction. "Hello, 11-0."
Where the action is
Before heading to watch the Celtics whip the Lakers on Friday night, "Grey's Anatomy" star Ellen Pompeo and her hubby, Chris Ivery, grabbed dinner at Prezza in the North End. Tennis pro Thomas Blake and Patriots player Mike Wright stopped at Nebo in the North End before making their way to TD Banknorth Garden. . . . And actor Donnie Wahlberg caught up with Patriots stalwart Troy Brown during the C's action Friday night. Walhberg's in town for "Real Men Cry," which also stars Ethan Hawke and Amanda Peet. The pic, written and directed by South Boston native Brian Goodman, starts filming today near where Goodman grew up.
Smooth sailing
Senator Ted Kennedy's classic schooner Mya is usually among the first spotted in the waters off Hyannis Port and it is always among the last ones pulled out for the winter. Kennedy was joined by his son and daughter-in-law Ted Jr. and Kiki, and the senator's famed dogs Splash and Sunny for one last sail of the season on Saturday. Kennedy and his wife, Vicki, spent Thanksgiving on the Cape. Ted's niece Maria Shriver and her husband, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, were also in town for the holiday and made a trip to the Celts game on Friday night. (Speaking of Schwarzenegger, the former bodybuilder was spotted working out yesterday at Sports Club/LA.) Ted's sister Eunice Shriver has been in Massachusetts General Hospital, where she's being treated for an undisclosed illness.
Emerson humor
Say this for Rob McElhenney, the executive producer, star, and co-creator of the FX show "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia": He appreciates a good joke. Earlier this year, McElhenney spoke to Jim Macak's TV writing class at Emerson College by teleconferencing hookup. To thank him, the students chipped in to buy him a gift - a T-shirt from their school. McElhenney showed his appreciation by wearing the shirt in the opening scene of his show's season finale. The shirt's slogan? "Emerson Football: Undefeated Since 1880." Emerson, of course, doesn't have a football team.
