The mega-earning supermodel sashays into the sunset as she ends her fairytale career in the place where it all began

The world's most famous supermodel, Gisele Bundchen, has made her final parade down the catwalk in an emotional goodbye in Sao Paulo.

The Brazilian said farewell to her 20-year career as friends and family, including her NFL superstar husband Tom Brady, looked on.

The 34-year-old's swansong took place during the city’s fashion week, the event where she made her debut two decades ago.

She turned out for Colcci, a Brazilian streetwear label, and burst into tears during a final hurrah which saw models emerge in jeans and T-shirts bearing her image.


In a posting on her Instagram account, which showed a photo of her aged 14, the Brazilian beauty wrote: "Today after 20 years in the industry, it is a privilege to be doing my last fashion show by choice and yet still be working in other facets of the business."

Bundchen, who has German ancestry, became famous after coming second in a nationwide modelling contest.

She moved to New York and became one of the fashion world’s true icons, rivalling the likes of Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell.

The supermodel's CV is a who's who of haute couture, including the likes of Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Valentino and Versace.

Being linked romantically to the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and surfer Kelly Slater only added to her marketability.

In 2009, she married Brady, the New England Patriots quarterback and one of American Football’s biggest names, with whom she has two children.

Stephen Hawking Covers Monty Python Classic 'Galaxy Song'                               

Last year he appeared on film during Monty Python's live shows, but now Pr
ofessor Stephen Hawking can be heard covering one of the comedy troupe's classic songs.

The physicist sings the famous Galaxy Song, which is being released digitally this week and will be available on vinyl this weekend as part of Record Store Day 2015.

In the video, the A Brief History Of Time author can be seen whizzing through space in his wheelchair, while the footage is interspersed with scenes of the Monty Python live shows.

One of the cult comedy act's members Eric Idle tweeted to let people know about the record.

He wrote: "Stephen Hawking Sings Monty Python. The Galaxy Song digital download & video has now been released.


"The limited edition 7" vinyls will be on sale on Saturday 18th April in UK and US as part of Record Store Day 2015."

A novelty online game has also been released in which players are invited to "destroy all Monty Python asteroids before they collide with Stephen Hawking".

Prof Hawking, 73, appeared on film alongside Professor Brian Cox as part of the live shows featuring John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Idle last year as the group performed together for the first time in decades at London's O2 Arena.

The world-famous theoretical physicist, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease shortly after his 21st birthday, showed his comedy credentials earlier this year when he took part in a Comic Relief sketch alongside David Walliams in the grounds of Cambridge University.

Left-armer to be to front committee after testing positive for cocaine

Pakistan spinner Raza Hassan has tested positive for cocaine and faces a two-year ban from all forms of cricket.The left-armer failed a dope test at a World Anti-Doping Agency accredited laboratory in India after a sample was taken during the Pentangular Cup in Karachi.

Hassan, who has represented his country at one-day international and T20 level, tested positive for the banned recreational drug while playing for Punjab Badshahs.

"The results of the second sample are still awaited but on the basis of the first sample results, the board has already established a two-member committee to chargesheet the spinner and seek an explanation from him," a source close to the Pakistan Cricket Board told the Press Trust of India.

The two-member committee includes former Pakistan Test wicketkeeper Colonel Naushad Ali and a qualified sports medicine doctor.

"The PCB is taking the matter very seriously because this is the first time any player has tested positive for the use of cocaine," the source said.

"If Hassan can't clear himself before the inquiry committee, he faces a two-year ban from all cricket.”

Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar tested positive for steroids in 2006, the same year fellow paceman Mohammad Asif was also banned for steroid use, but the PCB overturned both bans.

Ex-Australia Test spinner Jason Krejza tested positive to cocaine in 2006, but the off-spinner claimed his drink was spiked and further testing revealed no trace of the drug.

Shane Warne was infamously banned for 12 months on the eve of the 2003 Cricket World Cup after testing positive for a banned diuretic which helps increase the removal of water from the body and also acts as a masking agent.

Warne returned a year later and played on until the 5-0 Ashes whitewash in the summer of 2006-07 before retiring as the game’s leading Test wicket-taker.
