Longtime squeeze Gisele Bundchen has been telling people that she desperately wants to have a family — she’s just waiting for her man to come around to the idea.

In Brazil for fashion week, the model was asked what she wanted for her 25th birthday next month, and a source tells The Scoop she blurted out: “A baby. My life dream is to have a baby, but it’s not only up to me, it’s up to the father too.”

She didn’t mention her sweetie of five years by name, and added, “As for the future, I don’t know anything, I wish I had a crystal ball.”

When is a product endorsement by an internationally-known figure not something to brag about? If that figure is Saddam Hussein.

In interviews with the national guards who have been watching over the deposed dictator, GQ revealed that Saddam Hussein was fed Cheetos as a snack, but one day they ran out, so he was given Doritos instead. He loved the corn chips, and refused to go back to Cheetos. “He’d eat a family size bag of Doritos in 10 minutes,” according to one guard.

So what’s the reaction from Frito-Lay, the maker of Doritos? “No comment,” a spokesman told the Scoop. Why’s that? “No comment,” he repeated. Any plans to use the info in a marketing campaign. “No — and no comment.”

Nicole Richie has persuaded her divorced parents, singer Lionel Richie and his ex-wife Brenda, to reunite long enough to both walk her down the aisle, according to the new issue of In Touch Weekly. . . . Now that Michael Jackson has been cleared of those charges brought against him, there are still questions about his future — and gambling types are placing bets on what he’ll do, particularly when it comes to raising much-needed cash. The folks at PinnacleSports.com have placed 7/2 odds that he’ll sell his Neverland ranch; and 7/5 odds that he’ll sell the Beatles catalogue. A concert tour overseas and a show in Las Vegas are long shots at 5/1. . . . Parties by former convict Martha Stewart are all the rage on the social circuit. “Martha shows off her ankle bracelet at the soirees,” according to the new issue of the Star, “and jokes at the front door that if she takes a wrong step the alarms will sound.”
