The 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was as much about the performances as it was about Victoria's Secret's Angels showing off a new year's worth of lingerie. The annual fashion show, which was recorded earlier in the month but aired Tuesday night on CBS, offered its viewers a look at the sexy Victoria's Secret models strutting their stuff on the runway while also giving behind the scenes, Project Runway style looks at the prep for the show.



But the real highlights of the night came from performances by Kanye West, Jay Z, Maroon 5 and Nicki Minaj. Kanye opened the show with a rousing performance of "Stronger," and then later took to the stage with BFF Jay Z to perform songs from "Watch The Throne" while a very pregnant Beyonce looked on in approval from the audience. Maroon 5 later performed their hit "Moves Like Jagger," and then leading man Adam Levine walked the catwalk with his Angel girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna before the two of them shared an onstage, slow-motion kiss. Minaj closed the show with "Super Bass."

The fashion show featured the return of longtime Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr, 28, who had to sit out last year's runway walk because she was pregnant (she gave birth to son Flynn Jan. 6). Hubby Orlando Bloom could be seen cheering for Kerr from the front row as she walked the catwalk in the Fantasy Treasure Bra, a diamond-and-gem-encrusted bustier worth $2.5 million!

Also dazzling the crowd was Adriana Lima, the most senior of all the Angels. (The 30-year-old Brazilian model and Maybelline spokeswoman has been an Angel since 2000.) Other models who donned wings for the show included Alessandra Ambrosio, Chanel Iman, Doutzen Kroes, Erin Heatherton, Candice Swanepoel and Lily Donaldson, while 19-year-old Karlie Kloss made her Angel-ic debut.
Of course, since the show is meant to showcase the upcoming line of Victoria's Secret products, it was split into several different themes. The first was superheroes, then ballet, passion, underwater, turn-of-the-century New Orleans and finally "Club Pink," a glamorized take on Victoria's Secret's casual Pink line. And all of it looked good to us!




Marisa Miller is an American model best known for her appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues and her work for lingerie retailer Victoria's Secret.

She has graced the cover of Sports Illustrated and is currently a Victoria's Secret Angel, but believe it or not, supermodel Marisa Miller didn't realise she was beautiful until later in life.

The 33 year old stunner reveals that, because she was raised by hippie parents, she didn't even understand what it meant to have a 'good body.'

 

'There was this rumour going around that I had a 'good body', and I didn't even know what that meant! My parents were just like, 'Oh, it just means you're really healthy and you're strong!''

She more than makes up for her lack of beauty knowledge by appearing in girly, pink ensembles for her Ocean Drive photoshoot.

She looks like Barbie in one snap, wearing a pale pink top, black mini-skirt covered in lightning bolts and orange gingham shoes.

In another photograph, she pairs a soft orange shirt with a pleated pink skirt and stilettos.
While she looks stunning in her magazine spread, she explains to her interviewer, pro surfer pal Kelly Slater, that her parents weren't big on talking about superficial beauty because they were hippies.

'My parents definitely were hippies. They lived out of their truck the first six months they were married, and all they did was surf. So I definitely had those tendencies, because that was how I was raised.'

Although she grew up in the laid-back northern California town of Santa Cruz, she says that working as a model has made her appreciate city life.

'When I began working for Victoria's Secret, they were shooting a lot in Miami. I was there every week, and finally I just decided to stay because I didn't want to fly back and forth from California every week,' she says.

Given that she's a surfer as well, Miller found the beaches of Miami to be a nice alternative to her life at home.

'There are waves there not huge, but the water's warm,' she says. '[Miami] was a really fun place to be, especially at that time in my life. I was living it up. I had my skateboard, and I used to ride it over to Mynt Lounge, on Collins, and the DJ would put my skateboard behind the booth.'

Her relaxed nature has made the leap from modelling to acting an easy transition.

She has appeared on programmes like How I Met Your Mother and Entourage, and just shot her first film role: she co-stars with Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges in the action-comedy crime film, R.I.P.D.

In the film, about a recently slain cop who just a unit of undead police officers, Miller plays the human avatar of Bridges' character, Bo.






With his burgeoning military career taking up most of his time these days, 27 year old Prince Harry appears to be entering a new phase of maturity. But that doesn't mean to say that he's put his wild ways fully behind him.

Currently in the US completing phases of his military helicopter training in El Centro, California, near the Mexican border, Harry has been taking full advantage of the more ‘civilian' life he can enjoy in the US, which has so far included hiring a Harley Davidson bike to tour the California coast, hitting the blackjack tables in Las Vegas during a boys' weekend, and enjoying Sin City's nightlife at celeb haunts, XS and Tryst nightclubs at the Wynn hotel.

But despite being kept busy on his two month long training programme, sources say that Harry has also been taking time to dish out some relationship advice for his sister in law, Pippa Middleton, who recently split from her man of 18 months, Alex Loudon.


Lydia Hearst Shaw
Erm, who? LH-S is a US actress, model, columnist and socialite.
Anything else? Yep, she’s also the heiress to the Hearst publishing fortune, started by her great-grandfather, William Randolph Hearst, who was famously the inspiration for Citizen Kane.
She’s rich then? Very. Tremendously, Très.
So, does her hairdresser hate her? Obvs you know nothing about hair fashion. Eye-skimming fringes are so now, they’re beyond now. They’re like, next week, or something.
Oookay... Eye-skimming fringes are best for diamond and oblong-shaped faces, and are perfect for those who want to show off their peepers.
And the dark roots? Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson, Pixie Geldof… they’re all doing it.

Taryn Manning

Who she? You remember, she was the dodgy ex-girlfriend, Janeane, in 8 Mile.
Oh yes, we remember. She’s been quite vocal lately, right? She sure has, insisting, “I feel like I should have been [Oscar] nominated for Hustle & Flow to be honest and a lot of people feel that way.”
Get her! No, no, it’s OK, she still has her confidence, insisting, “I’m one part away from winning an Oscar.”
She’s annoying us now, let’s tackle the fringe. Horrible, isn’t it? Straight off a UK council estate, especially the drippy bits down the sides.
Unfair to council estate dwellers, non? Fair point.

Izabella Miko

Remind us? Izabella is an actress and dancer, who made her debut as Cammie in the classic, Coyote Ugly.
Anything else? She did star as Athena in the recent Clash Of The Titans, but all her scenes ended up on the cutting room floor.
So, the fringe… We’re just trying to get our heads round it. We think it’s some bouffant fringe/mega comb-over affair.
It ages her. Yes, it does.
How old is she? 30
Shame. Yep

Olympic skiing gold medalist Lindsey Vonn is officially back on the market.

The 27-year-old has filed for divorce from Thomas Vonn.

"This is an extremely difficult time in my personal life and I hope the media and my fans can respect my need for privacy on this matter," she said in a statement.

Thomas Vonn, a former Olympic skier himself, had been her chief adviser and scheduler. "I will continue to be coached by the U.S. ski team," Lindsey added.
 
 
Their relationship caused a rift between Lindsey and her father Alan Kildow, due in part to their nine year age difference. Kildow, who was replaced by Thomas as her coach and mentor, was not invited to the couple's 2007 wedding.

Lindsey is one of five women to have won World Cup races in all five disciplines of alpine skiing: Downhill, Super G, Giant Slalom, Slalom and Combined.

The Minnesotan won the gold medal in downhill at the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Celebrities Car Fashion: Kim Kardashian picked up New Luxury Ferrari 458 Italia.There were rumors that Kim Kardashian had bought herself a Ferrari as a wedding gift. As if all the luxurious wedding gifts weren't enough it sounds like Kim Kardashian decided to buy herself a brand new white Ferrari 458 as a little gift to herself. When most people get married they have to dish out a bunch of cash but it was the complete opposite for Kim who actually EARNED a reported $17 million from various deals surrounding her big day.


From what we've heard the car is currently at Platinum Motorsports receiving a few custom touches (and by a few we mean and extra $80,000 in upgrades).By the looks of it I think Platinum outfitted it with some wheels but I don't know what else they did... maybe some new pedals to accommodate 5 inch heels better.
