Worse than Spitzer?..

South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford writes in her new book that she got short of breath and later felt unwanted and ugly when she found out about her husband’s affair with an Argentine woman.

The New York Daily News reported on its Web site Monday that Sanford also writes that one of her sons exclaimed that it’s “worse than Eliot Spitzer” when she told them about Gov. Mark Sanford’s infidelity.

Spitzer is the former New York governor who resigned after acknowledging he was a client of a call girl ring.

Jenny Sanford’s memoir “Staying True,” published by Ballantine Books, an imprint of Random House Inc., goes on sale Friday.

She will be interviewed by Barbara Walters on ABC’s “20/20” on Thursday night. A segment of the interview aired last month, a few days before she filed for divorce from her husband of more than 20 years.

The divorce will be final later this month.

Everything was super...

Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen says she gave birth to her son in a bathtub and that it didn’t hurt a bit.

The wife of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady tells Globo TV she wanted to be aware and calm during birth. So she decided to have her boy, Benjamin, at home on Dec. 8.

The model says in the interview she “didn’t want to be drugged up” when she gave birth.

To prepare, she says she did a lot of yoga and meditation.

Bundchen says the boy didn’t cry after being born and rested in her lap for a long time.

Brady and Bundchen were married in February.

Benjamin is Bundchen’s first child. Brady also has a 2-year-old son, Jack, with actress Bridget Moynahan.

How drunk was he?...

Rip Torn was so intoxicated when he broke into a Connecticut bank carrying a loaded gun that he thought he was home, taking off his hat and boots and leaving them by the door, according to court records.

The 78-year-old actor was wearing the same battered boots Monday when he was arraigned on several charges after spending the weekend in a police holding cell near his hometown of Salisbury, in northwestern Connecticut.

Torn, who did not enter a plea, was released on $100,000 bond a few hours later and waded through a phalanx of media to a friend’s waiting vehicle. He smiled and wished onlookers a nice day but did not answer questions about the arrest.

He is expected to enter an alcohol rehabilitation center in New York as early as today, according to his attorney.

Torn was given probation last year in a Connecticut drunken driving case and allowed to enter an alcohol education program. He completed the first stage of that program.

He also has two previous drunken driving arrests in New York.

The “Men in Black” actor is accused of breaking into the Litchfield Bancorp branch through a window Friday night in Salisbury, where officers responding to an alarm found him wandering in the lobby and nearly incoherent.
