Gisele Has Angels on her Side: Nearly a week after the big game, this whole Gisele-is-a-poor-sport debacle still has some steam. Days after Giants’ running back Brandon Jacobs told Tom Brady’s supermodel wife to “stay cute and shut up,” Gisele’s former Victoria’s Secret Angel compadres have come to her defense. Quoth Adriana Lima, “Leave her alone!” {Vogue UK}

1. Wouldn’t Ladurée have made more sense for this challenge?

2. Why didn’t everyone protest the assignment and make a rainbow assortment of wrap dresses?

3. Don’t you think this six hour challenge only happened because DVF had to catch the red-eye to Gstaad later that night?

4. Isn’t it kind of funny that this week’s mini-Mood was the size of an ordinary fabric store?

5. On what other show would a Rowenta product placement make sense? Kind of genius.

If hitting the gym more didn’t make your list of New Year’s resolutions this year then at probably has now after watching this behind-the-scenes video of the making of the Victoria’s Secret swimsuit catalog, courtesy of Elle.com.

Though the new swimsuit collection is inspired by beaches of Brazil, Victoria’s Secret Angels Candice Swanepoel, Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio and Lily Aldridge stripped to their suits on the sands of Bora Bora (tough life) for the legendarily hot Victoria’s Secret swimsuit catalog. And, as you can imagine, there are bouncing boobs, sultry stares, and sand-writhing galore. Oh, and some pretty cute bikinis too–not that those will be what you’re looking at. Read more »

The Victoria’s Secret fashion show is airing tonight (on CBS, 10/9C), and it’s always a spectacle of physical perfection. We don’t know if this will make you feel any better, but we dug up some pictures of some of the well-known Angels, and while–yes, they were obviously adorable–they’ve also had their share of bad bowl haircuts, gangly limbs, and mom-imposed fashion. But they’ve all emerged from their cocoons to earn their Angel wings (um, sorry for mixing metaphors there) and we’re excited to see the whole extravaganza tonight.

Click through to see the Angels back when they were mere mortals.

Adriana Lima: OK, so she was pretty much always very attractive.

New York Takes Aim at Miranda Kerr’s Vapidity: Sample quote from Miranda: “I want to encourage women to embrace their own uniqueness. Because just like a rose is beautiful, so is a sunflower, so is a peony. I mean, all flowers are beautiful in their own way, and that’s like women too.” Sample quote from New York: “Even if her workout routine, diet, and husband, Orlando Bloom, weren’t the only things reporters ever asked about, Kerr shows a strong reluctance to utter any sentences not purely banal.” Zing! {New York}

Daphne Guinness/FIT Exhibit Sponsor Pressured to Pull Out: Human rights group Adalah-NY is demanding the immediate withdrawal of Leviev Diamonds as a sponsor to the Daphne Guinness exhibit over at FIT. Apparently, Adalah-NY has beef with Lev Leviev (the company’s owner), over his ties to the West Bank. If Guinness holds on to this sponsorship, Adalah-NY has pledged to protest the exhibit. {WWD subscription required}

Rebecca Black’s Song “Friday” Used For–Wait For It–Black Friday Commercial: Is Kohl’s crazy? Or crazy like a fox? The retailer used the YouTube sensation Rebecca Black’s song “Friday” and adapted it for the biggest shopping day of the year. {New York Daily News}

Miranda Kerr Spotted Shopping at Victoria’s Secret: The Angel popped into a Victoria’s Secret store on Fifth Avenue and 19th Street in NYC over the weekend with baby Flynn. The shop girls couldn’t quite place her, but eventually they figured it out. Let’s hope they gave Miranda the employee discount. {Page Six}

The backstage of fashion shows are usually a hot hectic mess. But not Victoria’s Secret. When you have the budget to put on a $12 runway show, backstage is pretty swank. As in, there was a carving station. And models actually eat from it.

The models wear very short pink silk robes while extensions and hair spray and bronzer and shimmering make up is applied in heaps. But they’re all smiles throughout. These girls are having fun. Our street style photog Ashley was there to capture the magic that is Victoria’s Secret backstage. Highlights included Kanye making an appearance and chatting with Alessandra Ambrosio, and Adriana Lima posing for an impromptu lingerie shoot on top of a table.

Check it out.

The 16th annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show taped Wednesday night at the 26th St. Armory (it airs November 29 on CBS) and as usual, it was glittery, sexy and totally over-the-top. The $12 million show handily rivaled last night’s celeb-filled Prince-headlined Versace for H&M extravaganza, though there were some repeat performances. Nicki Minaj filled in [...]
