Gisele Bundchen must have decided she wanted a mansion in L.A., because TMZ has learned that Tom Brady is jumping through hoops to build her one.

Sources close to the supermodel and her "Errand Boy" tell us Tom just closed a deal to buy a plot of dirt in Brentwood -- on Arnold Schwarzenegger's street -- for more than $11 million. We repeat -- he bought dirt for eleven mil!

TMZ is in possession of documents which show that Tom took out a mortgage of $8.225 mil that he will pay back in 5 years. The property -- approximately 3 acres -- was purchased under the name TGBE. We're wondering if the G stands for you know who...

A source connected to Brady tells us he bought the west coast property to be closer to his kid. A source connected to his baby mama Bridget Moynahan says that excuse is total B.S.

BTW -- on top of the $11 mil he dropped on the land, Tom will also have to drop some serious coin on the structure he plans on living in. Meanwhile, Tony Romo spent $699,000 on a place in Dallas.

A shocking lawsuit just filed ... a woman claims the father of her unborn baby -- an NFL star -- conspired to brutally beat her up.

Sharri Henry alleges last May, when she was four months pregnant, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dennis Northcutt got his cousin to "maliciously assault, beat, strike and batter Plaintiff, her face and head with great force and violence ... causing severe and permanent disfigurement to her face."

We've confirmed Henry filed a report with the LAPD for the incident that allegedly went down outside Falcon Club in Hollywood on May 17.

In the lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Henry alleges battery and conspiracy to commit assault. She's seeking unspecified damages.

BTW, Northcutt just inked a $17 million contract with his team.

UPDATE: IT JUST GOT CRAZIER. Northcutt's sports agent, Jerome Stanley, told TMZ, "This was nothing but a desperate shakedown by a jilted ex-girlfriend who is claiming to be pregnant with his child." Stanley says Henry is upset because Northcutt dumped her for another girl. As for the assault, Stanley says, "She verbally antagonized the guy who hit her." He says Northcutt knew nothing about the attack until after it happened.

Henry's lawyer, Loyst P. Fletcher, just gave TMZ the following statement: "Mr. Northcutt and his entourage, which included his current girlfriend, were apparently angry that Miss Henry refused to abort a child that she believed he fathered. Words were exchanged and a member of that entourage, whom we believe is Mr. Northcutt's cousin, viciously attacked Miss Henry." She's now 7 months pregnant.

Barbra Streisand's goddaughter threatened to kill a woman, according to legal papers just filed.

Caleigh Peters, the daughter of Jon Peters (former BF of Babs) was just slapped with a restraining order, prohibiting her from contacting, harassing or threatening Katie Krause. In her papers, Krause says, "Caleigh Peters grabbed my head, pulled my hair, threw me to the ground, kicked and punched me repeatedly, kneed me, bloodied my nose, scratched my face and my arms at Hyde Lounge in West Hollywood."

Krause also claims, "Caleigh Peters threatened to kill me...and told me to prepare to die."

And it ain't the first time Peters has been accused of similar conduct. Last year a "Deal or No Deal" model also got a restraining order against Peters. Laura Mary Shields claimed she was "violently" attacked by Peters at an L.A. restaurant.

A rep for Peters could not be reached. Katie Krause declined comment.

California Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez was four lattes past hyper today in Denver.

With the energy of the Roadrunner being chased by an ACME missile, 48-year-old Sanchez shot down any insinuation that she would be gobblin' up the free gift bags from a celebrity filled SAG party tonight -- something Congress people can't do ... well, not if they want to stay in office.
