Notes on a scandal(ous) 'Victoria's Secret Fashion Show'

Vsfashionshow_l --The Dancing With the Stars mirror ball trophy ate Seal.

--Models with accents sound smarter, even if what they're saying is fundamentally stupid.

--The models who don't blow a kiss or at least make a "Yo, camera" head jerk at the end of the runway are disappointing. Can I get some meaningful eye contact up in here?

--Similarly, when a model comes out and she doesn't have a 200-lb blossom/snowflake/wings contraption uncomfortably sticking out of her back? Kind of a letdown.

--Jeremy Piven can't believe how hot these women are. Nor can I, but unlike Jeremy Piven, I get to eat mac and cheese while thinking that.

--I love Heidi Klum, but she can't really sing! ''Amazing"-ly, she sounded better with Seal here than on her Victoria's Secret commercial, where I assumed there was the option of multiple takes...

--When I get to hell, I bet the cast of The Hills will be gaping blankly from the front row there, too.

--Were the Spice Girls under the impression anyone believed they were actually singing? They couldn't even shout "Thank you!" at the end of their pre-recorded song because THEIR MICS WEREN'T ON! Worth it, anyway, to hear Scary emit belly laughs for no reason every time they were shown.

--Maybe I should get in shape.

--Nah, I should just buy better undies.

HEY, IT WORKED.

I don't know , but don't you think this years show is produced very poor?
Has this something to do with the writer's strike? I mean Heidi's line while hosting were horrible (must have been written by herself).
Not to mention the music. (Gosh , name me one song that you remember except live performance. )

My six year old saw the picture and said, "Look, a snow turkey!" Oh, I love him so. Thanks, Annie, for the bit about "The Hills" cast gaping at you in hell. I really needed to laugh.

Mmmmm... I love mac and cheese.

The top three funny moments-
1)Seal singing off-key in "Amazing." His duet with Heidi was fine,but by himself (kind of).Huh?The poor guy sounded rather exhausted. Bottled water,stat!
2)The gospel choir in "Amazing." Nothing like combining a choir with Victoria's Secret models.
3)Neil Patrick Harris in the audience with his boyfriend. HUH??????

oh spice girls. how i've missed your lip syncing. it's like the 90's all over again!

LOL at the Hills comment! (can't stand those overexposed celeb-wannabes). In my next life I want to be born as a hot Brazillian girl.

lol, Annie. If that wouldn't make you think you need new undies, nothing will!!

Now that pop-culture has so much Heidi Klum (I am definitely not complaining), I think the world needs more Marissa Miller. Yee-OW-za!

- Best in show blue ribbon goes to the gal they selected from the 30 wannabes. She held her own. Spiceys were nice too see again. Sporty still the favorite, most talented.

Danielle,

I hate to disappoint you, but the Spice Girls upcoming tour is going to mark the debut of some new system that takes their live voices and compares it to the studio version which has already been fixed in post production. If it doesn't match, it fixes the "live" voice so it does or just replaces it with the recording.

Heidi may have been singing live, but I think her live vocal was cleverly disguised by 19 other prerecorded (and fixed) Heidis. Heidi should respect that she's absurdly good looking and Seal's absurdly good at singing.

WHOA. What if one of their kids is as good looking as her and sings as well as him and becomes the biggest pop star ever? What if they ALL are and form a supergroup? What if they all are except one who's as good looking as Seal and sings as well as Heidi and they have to tell that kid over an awkward family dinner that he or she is not allowed in the supergroup? Wouldn't that be crazy, Danielle? I'm glad we had this talk.

I have to say, with some chagrin, that I found this show lively and entertaining. Totally agree about the models' attitudes -- how fun to see models who actually HAVE attitudes and personalities, rather than just being walking mannequins. And they were so insanely gorgeous they were not even threatening! I mean, who looks like that in real life? (Lots of girls in Brazil, apparently.) It was over the top and kinda trashy, but it was also a ton of fun.

Danielle Wed, Dec 5, 2007 at 12:39 PM EST

I already liked Heidi from "Project Runway" but now I really like her. Actually, I kinda liked all the girls who looked like they were having fun. It was much more entertaining than a typical runway show. I only watched for the Spice Girls, so I was a little disappointed we didn't get to see them perform "Headlines" and that they lip-synced. There better not be any Milli Vanilli antics when I see them in February, I didn't pay a good chunk o' change to see them mouth the words, by golly!
