It was so much fun the first time, Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen are getting hitched again today at Bundchen's surfside compound in Mal Pais, Costa Rica. (Largely because of the great surf, Mal Pais is a celebrity hot spot, with everyone from Gwyneth Paltrow and Mel Gibson to Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto owning a place there.) People.com reported yesterday that Tom and Gi's guests, believed to include friends, family, a few teammates, and the Krafts, gathered for a rehearsal dinner Thursday night at a Milarepa beachfront hotel and restaurant. We know Brady's son, with ex Bridget Moynahan, is there because the paparazzi popped several pics of No. 12 with the tot yesterday. In one, taken on the terrace of Bundchen's sprawling abode, Brady's holding the boy. Others show Brady and Bundchen on the beach, and young John Edward Thomas Moynahan is clutching his supermodel stepmom. Moynahan, meanwhile, is apparently still smarting about comments Bundchen makes in the new issue of Vanity Fair. (The Brazilian beauty said she feels like John - or "Johnny," as she calls him - is her child "100 percent.") Reiterating something a Bridget buddy told the New York Post earlier this week, a friend of the actress told People: "Bridget has her own life, she doesn't need to be involved in the drama of all this, and she finds it disrespectful that her son is being paraded around in front of the paparazzi when she's specifically made it a point of keeping him away from that. . . . I can count on two hands, in two years, the number of times Bridget has been photographed with that baby. I can count on two hands the number of times in the past month that Gisele has been photographed with that baby."
Making history
A beaming Laura Linney breezed through the Crowne Plaza in Natick last night to accept the Ken Burns Lifetime Achievement Award for her Emmy-winning performance as Abigail Adams. Burns presented Linney with the award in person on behalf of Old Sturbridge Village, which honors folks who spark a public interest in the past. Linney, who checked in with us before the Metrowest affair, said the role in HBO's "John Adams" has her rethinking all the dead presidents (and their wives). "You learn about one person . . . then you want to know more about Jefferson and then Monroe," she said. Linney, who went to Brown and now resides in Connecticut, said she's no stranger to Sturbridge. "I remember it was our first field trip," said Linney, who grew up in Manhattan. "I think I was 6 or 7." Next up for the actress is "Sympathy for Delicious," an indie film directed by her pal Mark Ruffalo, who's been a regular in these parts while filming Southie flick "What Doesn't Kill You" and Martin Scorsese's upcoming "Shutter Island."Archer condo for sale
First, Nicolas Cage, now Anne Archer. The actress, who was Michael Douglas's wronged wife in "Fatal Attraction," has put her Rhode Island condo on the market for $1.1 million. The townhouse is on Narragansett Bay in the Carnegie Abbey Club, a golf and yachting club not far from Newport. Archer, 61, who'll be seen in "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past," bought the place in 2003 with her executive producer husband Terry Jastrow. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a powder room, a wet bar, and water views. Last fall, Cage put his Ocean State mansion - a Middletown hideaway said to be equipped with a helipad - on the market for a mere $15.9 million.Apology, of sorts
UFC president Dana White, who produced the Spike TV pilot that was shot in Boston in December, is apologizing for using an anti-gay slur during a YouTube rant against writer Loretta Hunt. White, who lived in South Boston for several years, told ESPN's Page 2: "Look, I lived in Southie. I say a lot of things, a lot of which people won't [expletive] like. OK, but you know, when I was living there - and this was when I was a young [expletive] idiot, like 21 years old. I lived next door to a lesbian couple and they used to get terrorized - terrorized. South Boston back in the day was a crazy [expletive] place to be." White produced "Madso's War," the pilot inspired by Boston's Irish mob starring Kevin Chapman and Matthew Marsden.Seal plays Fenway
The Sox have enlisted Heidi Klum's husband, Seal, to sing the national anthem on opening day Monday. (Why Seal? He has fans in the front office and he's performing Monday night at the Orpheum.) The Sox aren't saying what other tricks might be up their sleeve, but we know Keith Lockhart and the Pops will be playing "God Bless America." Not coincidentally, the Pops' CD "Red Sox Album" comes out Monday.Bonding experience
ESPN commentator Wendy Nix and Jessie Palmer of "The Bachelor" were both at Bond at the Langham Hotel the other night.Leadership on display

Martin Luther King Jr.'s papers and in the process honored Christine King Farris, King's only surviving sibling.
