File this story under crazy, but Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen apparently hired Tony Soprano to protect their wedding day from the prying lenses of the paparazzi. Apparently, the couple had an exclusive photo deal with a Brazilian magazine for their Costa Rica ceremony this weekend and any photos snagged by paparazzi could have seriously killed the deal.
Perez Hilton is reporting that two photographers Rolando Aviles and Yuri Cortez, managed to get a neighbor to allow them to shoot the ceremony from a nearby balcony.
Bodyguards chased the two away, only to curiously invite the two back to Gisele's home when they caught up with them.
"Tom Brady just wants to talk to you. It's OK, nothing's going to happen," said one bodyguard.
When they went back, they realized they were facing an ambush. Aviles and Cortez managed to get back to their vehicle when they began to drive away, Aviles saw one of Brady's bodyguards draw a pistol. Shots were fired and one went through the back windsheild, narrowly missing them.
"I thought this was going to be my last job," said Aviles. "Thank God I'm alright. At that moment, I thought I was going to die. The bullet went between us, missing our heads. I said, 'They're going to kill us,' and that's when I hunched down to cover myself."
