Kanye West had to bow out of performing at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in LA last night for obvious reasons, but never fear! The Spice Girls, who look mostly the same, although the majority of them have gotten way, way skinnier, were on hand to lend their peforming services. This may or may not have been disastrous. I’ll need to check it out when it airs.
I’ll give it to Victoria’s Secret. With Jessica White, Selita Ebanks, and Noemie Lenoir stomping down the catwalk, they’ve got one up on most designers that show during fashion week. Three black models don’t exactly make an army (although there could have been more that weren’t pictured), but still. More pics — the men should like these — after the jump.

Who is this dashing celebrity — so modest, so unassuming, so self-assured that he has the courage to show up to a star-studded celebrity event with his face completely covered? If that glimpse of his jumpoff the ever-present Cassie right behind him doesn’t give it away instantly, I’ll offer you another hint. The “modest and unassuming” thing was a total lie.
The dramatic reveal, plus lots more celeb costumes from last night’s parties, after the jump.

How did Seal steal Heidi Klum’s heart? Hint: it wasn’t his voice, or his personality, or his face.
“I met him in a hotel lobby in New York City and he came in just from the gym and I was sitting there and I was, like, wow,” Klum tells Oprah Winfrey on her show’s Superstar Couples episode set to air Thursday.
Wow, as in Seal was wearing bicycle shorts.
“And I pretty much saw everything,” says Klum. “The whole package.”
Like we’ve never heard that one before.

Jennifer Lopez might have run into the mother of her old flame at Monkey Bar in NYC last night, but I’m sure all were distracted by the diamonds in Lorraine Schwartz’s new Monkey Collection. Well, the diamonds and the monkeys. An eclectic group of people came out to support the jewelry launch, from DJ Clue to Tina Knowles. Check out more pics after the jump.

As I informed you earlier, today is the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Loving vs. Virginia, which officially legalized interracial unions. A group of overly sentimental people have dubbed this day Loving Day, during which we are all supposed to celebrate our legal right to love and marry whoever we want (as long as they’re of the opposite sex). Here is a smattering of some famous interracial couples, starting with two of my favorites, Paula Patton and Robin Thicke.
Bravo’s roster of ’90s super models (Heidi Klum on Project Runway and Padma Lakshmi on Top Chef) just grew, now that Veronica Webb has been tapped to cohost the network’s new fashion makeover show with Tim Gunn.
As one of the world’s leading supermodels, the Detroit-born diva graced the covers of ‘Vogue,’ ‘Essence’ and ‘Elle’ magazines and strutted the runway for Victoria’s Secret and Chanel. The former Revlon spokesmodel has starred in films such as Spike Lee’s ‘Jungle Fever,’ and ‘Malcolm X,’ and penned the 1998 tome ‘Veronica Webb-Site: Adventures in the Big City.’
“We think Veronica will make the perfect complement to Tim – she’ll add a little sass to his class,” Bravo’s programming chief Frances Berwick said. “She not only brings extensive fashion expertise to the series, but she will be someone for our makeover subjects to lean on, creating a fun, comfortable, yet educational experience that our viewers can learn from.”
Rumor has it the reason Bravo began searching for a co-host was because Tim Gunn was a little dry and serious to carry his own show. Chances are Webb is going to be responsible for the personality portion of the show. It looks like Tyra (and Iman before her) has permanently inspired ex-models to continue to work it in their retirement.
