The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Debuts the $2.5 Million Diamond Lingerie

Every year millions tune in to watch the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. This year’s show is set to air Tuesday, Nov. 29 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network with featured artists Cee Lo Green, Kanye West and Maroon 5 and the most expensive diamond coated lingerie.

Supermodel Candice Swanepoel will open the lingerie runway show, which will also star supermodels Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr and a bevy of other Victoria’s Secret Angels, and will also include red carpet interviews, model profiles and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the world’s most celebrated fashion show.

All with the signature angel wings, and long-legged models, perhaps the most coveted item on the runway will be the $2.5 million “Fantasy Treasure Bra”. Imagine the security!

The million-dollar bra tradition started in 1996 with Claudia Schiffer, and for any current and aspiring VS angel, being chosen to wear the bra is considered a modeling honor. So who’s the lucky angel this year?

None other than Miranda Kerr (Orlando Bloom’s wife and mother of his son, Flynn) will be flaunting her diamond covered cleavage. The Aussie bombshell will be sporting the “Fantasy Treasure Bra,” which features 3,500 precious gems.

Miranda joins the runway ranks alongside Adriana Lima, Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum, who have also worn the coveted lingerie piece. But none could top Gisele Bunchen‘s 2000 “Red Hot Fantasy” bra and panties getup—the entire ensemble cost approximately $15 million, setting the Guinness Book World Record for the most expensive underwear in the world.

Beavis and Butthead's Fateful Return

Beavis and Butthead have returned to MTV and Skrillex’s Equinox video was a part of the two juvenile idiots jabbing

Beavis and Butt-Head premiered on MTV in 1993, a time when Nirvana and teen angst reigned supreme, and MTV played music videos in heavy rotation instead of tirelessly pumping reruns of 16 and Pregnant and The Jersey Shore. Until it’s end in 1997, the show’s protagonist, idiot teenagers churned out the network’s highest-rated program, was the subject of congressional debate and appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone three times.

The best part of the show was the pair sitting on their ratty couch discussing and misunderstanding the music videos they watched. (Butt-Head on videos with onscreen text: “If I wanted to read, I’d go to school.”)

Perhaps a nod to Dubstep’s attempt to leap into the mainstream, the pair “critiques” Skrillex’s video Equinox. That is if Beavis and Butthead are the really worthy of such power; though in the 90’s videos gained popularity after their presence on the show.

After a 14-year hiatus, Mike Judge, the show’s creator and main voice behind the two head bangers was asked by MTV to revive the show, he said yes, bringing the boys back with their worldviews unchanged. “There was a conscious decision to have nobody grow or learn much,” Judge said in an interview with Rolling Stone. Beavis and Butt-Head still wear their Metallica and AC/DC T-shirts, although Judge had to get permission from the bands this time around.

Time will tell if Beavis and Butthead’s second time around will prove as successful as in the grunge ridden 90s, but either way the two metalhead, chick loving idiots won’t go out without terrorizing a new generation of music and pop culture.

Beavis and Butthead is on MTV, Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET

Kim K Files for Divorce from Kris Humphries

After 72 days Kim is ditching the old ball and chain by filing for divorce this morning. At least she beat Britney Spears’ brief ‘hours’ of wedded bliss to Jason Allan Alexander in 2004.

Millions watched as Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries exchanged vows at their highly publicized, $10 million wedding on E! Now millions will watch their divorce. TMZ was told that even though the marriage was short, she is not seeking an annulment. It’s a garden-variety divorce, in which Kim cites “irreconcilable differences.”

“I’ve spoken to her briefly and she says she’s sad and got caught up in all that was going on,” Ryan Seacrest who produces her show, said on his KIIS-FM radio program Monday morning.

A source close to Kardashian tells PEOPLE that she “wanted a fairy tale” but that the couple found “the pressure of the TV show just isn’t what they could have handled.” Perhaps Khloe, Kim’s sister was right when during Kris’ proposal to Kim, she said “Is this for real?”

The date of separation is listed as today, Oct. 31, 2011. According to the docs, Kim wants Kris to foot his own lawyers’ fees and she’ll pay hers. And, she wants the court to reject any move by Kris to get spousal support.

So sad so sad, think Kimmy gave back that $2 million ring designed by Lorraine Schwartz — featuring a 16.5 carat emerald cut center stone flanked by two 2-carat trapezoids … for a grand total of 20.5 carats?

Most Popular Halloween Costumes of 2011

Halloween is a time for adults to troll the city like Sponge Bob Square Pants, Pimps, Hookers or perhaps a giant baby and not be taken to the insane asylum or jail.

This year, Halloween will be celebrated by more than 160 million Americans, according to the National Retail Federation, which also predicts that we’ll spend almost $7 billion on merchandise, and $1.2 billion of that for costumes.

Then there are those costumes that will be worn always be worn, the “sexy” nurse, the school girl, and so on, though it’s not as awful as showing up to the Oscar’s wearing the same dress, here is a list of the most popular costumes this year based on the top sales according to national costume retailers.

Angry Birds

The touch-screen game “has had 400 million free and paid downloads since 2009, with three-fourths of those in the last six months,” according to Bloomberg. That obsession will undoubtedly translate into millions of sightings of the popular round red and black and triangular yellow birds on Oct. 31 and perhaps serve as a warning to get a life and get off phone application gaming.

Sue Sylvester ‘Glee’

Despite her cold exterior and sharp tongue, it’s pretty easy to embrace Sue Sylvester — or her style, at the very least. “Glee’s” fast-talking, hard-edged gym teacher with a distinct distaste for hair product is one of the easiest and most popular costumes to put together for Halloween.

Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen, our favorite crack-head, porn loving celebrity will be seen all over this year. The Charlie Sheen wig is among the top 10-bestselling wigs on Amazon.com, and the full Charlie Sheen mask is scarier than a fake ax in the head.

Zombies

Perhaps in an ode to Michael Jackson’s Thriller, or just an overall laziness to turn that hangover from the prior night into an actual “look”, but this year more than 2.6 million people plan to dress as zombies, according to the National Retail Federation’s 2011 top costumes survey.

Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj

Trumping the influx of last year’s Lady Gaga costume invasion, there are some new blue-haired songstresses taking over this Halloween. Slap on a brightly colored wig and maybe your hairiest obnoxious friend to double as Russell Brand and a pop star is born.

Royal Wedding Party

The obsession with all things British that started with the royal wedding earlier this year continues. Retailers such as Headlinecostumes.com are selling the octopus-like Princess Beatrice hat ($40) and the Kate Middleton wig ($25) for those who aspire to look like the Duchess of Cambridge or other members of the royal family. Or you could just stick a pole…well, you get it…

Transformers

Dorks abound this season as Autobot or Decepticon. Halloweencostumes.com offers a deluxe Optimus Prime costume with jumpsuit, light-up helmet and chest piece with semi-truck details ($324.99) and a Bumblebee get-up with a realistic yellow and black jumpsuit, machinery pieces and accessories ($324.99). For that price one could buy a real 1973 Ford Pinto and really fire-up their Halloween. Plus, pretty sure people would rather see a Megan Fox costume.

Captain America

In case you are longing for the days of yore with the Captain America Underoos, the popularity of the Captain America movie allows your boyhood a chance to return, hopefully just for one night.

So whether you want to go along with the most popular costumes of 2011 or use this as a warning and be your unique self, this Halloween will be full of surprises. Click HERE for a complete listing of D.C.’s best Halloween parties.

Misheard Lyrics

You may think you know the lyrics, but what are they really saying?

Next time you won’t be caught wondering why Elton John would want to be held closer by Tony Danza. Or would he?

Everyone has had a moment where they are singing along with a song and belt out what they think are the correct lyrics, only to be embarrassed when someone corrects their mistake.

There are websites (AmIRight.com, Kissthisguy.com) devoted to it, there are shows based on it (Don’t Forget the Lyrics), and annoying friends who like to point out your mistakes.

“Wrapped up like a douche” a common mistake when singing Manfred Mann’s “Blinded by the light” to which the original lyrics are ”revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night”.
