Victoria Secret Angels

Victoria Secret Angels - The new Victoria’s Secret angels last night welcomed Adriana Lima’s return, with a twist. When the new angels took to the VS Fashion Show 2010 last night on CBS, back was a familiar face with a dazzling addition. Adriana Lima returned in a $2 million bra covered in diamonds.

The breathtaking creation (Lima) wore the amazing item which featured 3,000 white diamonds amounting to 60 carats, a mix of light blue sapphires coming in at 82 carats, and a sea of oval shaped topazes.

Adriana Lima took the show that featured everyone from Katy Perry to Akon but which did not feature Heidi Klum or Miranda Kerr in attendance. The new angels for 2010 were Lily Aldridge, Candice Swanepoel and Erin Heatherton.

And while the bra was a showstopper, it wasn’t the most expensive from the manufacturer. Victoria’s Secret previously has showcased $5 million and $3 million bras.

Of note, Columnist Rachel Beck contends that high-priced bra sales are a great indicator of Holiday economic trends. Beck asserts that, if women are willing to purchase the higher priced bras, that would suggest two things. First, “they’re probably willing to buy other things for themselves too”. And second, this year Holiday “shoppers are willing to indulge” contrary to previous years.

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone - Police say a man on a Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas punched a teenager who refused to turn off his iPhone as the plane approached the Boise airport. Officers arrested 68-year-old Russell E. Miller, of Boise, on suspicion of misdemeanor battery Tuesday. He has been released from jail on bond. Witnesses told police the 15-year-old was playing games and listening to music on his cell phone when flight attendants instructed passengers to turn off their electronic devices because the plane was landing. Witnesses told police that when the teen didn't respond, Miller got angry and punched the boy in the arm. Miller says he "tapped" the teen on the shoulder after he refused to turn off the phone. He told the Idaho Statesman that he may have "overreacted," but that he did not punch the teen. Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone
