Posted on December 10, 2014 by Tom Castaneda

There’s no denying Adriana Lima can strut her stuff on the runway… But did you know she can also lip-sync for her life?

The 33-year-old Brazilian supermodel and actress, a Victoria’s Secret Angel since 2000, and her fellow Victoria’s Secret model give Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” the Angel treatment in the teaser video for the lingerie brand’s annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

In the highly entertaining clip, Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel, Doutzen Kroes, Karlie Kloss and Lily Aldridge show off their dance moves while mouthing along to Swift’s massive hit.

The video was filmed in London during the rehearsals for the brand’s popular fashion show.

Swift has given her stamp of approval to Lima and company’s lip-syncing skils, sharing the video with her Twitter followers, and writing “Anddddd *swoon*.”

The video has already garnered more than 2.2 million views on YouTube.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show aired on Tuesday night (December 9) at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.

Posted on May 24, 2014 by Tom Castaneda

It’s a simple fact: Alessandra Ambrosio is one hot momma… And, now she has the men’s vote to prove it.

The 33-year-old Brazilian supermodel is the highest-ranking Latina on Maxim’s 2014 Hot 100 list, coming in at No. 7.

Ambrosio, who has two children with fiancé Jamie Mazur, is “so hot, it hurts,” according to Maxim.

The Victoria’s Secret model, who always dominates the catwalk at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, is the spokesperson for the company’s PINK line.

Surprisingly, Ambrosio did not make last year’s list.

Nipping on the supermodel’s heels: scree siren Jessica Alba.

The 33-year-old half-Mexican American actress, who will surely set tongues wagging when she reprises her role as Nancy Callahan in the upcoming Sin City sequel Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, ranks No. 8 on Maxim’s list of the world’s most beautiful women.

It’s a nine-spot improvement for Alba, who came in at No. 17 on last year’s list.

In all, 21 Latinas made this year’s list compared to 19 last year, when Selena Gomez was the highest-ranking Latina at No. 2. This year, the Spring Breakers star drops to No. 19.

Here’s the list of other Latinas on this year’s list:

Eva Longoria, No. 13
Christina Aguilera, No. 15
Selena Gomez, No. 19
Zoe Saldana, No. 29
Lea Michele, No. 31
Jennifer Lopez, No. 36
Shakira, No. 38
Demi Lovato, No. 40
Jordana Brewster, No. 52
Sofia Vergara, No. 54
Morena Baccarin, No. 57
Arianny Celeste, No. 59
Sarah Shahi, No. 67
Liz Hernandez, No. 72

Bruno Mars is turning out to be Victoria’s Secret’s secret weapon…

Not only did the 27-year-old part-Puerto Rican singer perform at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, but now he’s part of the brand’s new Angels & Artists video series, which basically pairs hot songs with hot models in bikinis.

The first clip in the series, entitled “Bikinis & Bruno Mars,” features Mars’ recent Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 song “Locked Out of Heaven.” The video features South African bombshell Candice Swanepoel and Doutzen Kroes making a splash to the tune.

Additional videos featuring music and models will be released throughout swimsuit season.

Lima Impresses on This Year’s “Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show”

Posted on December 5, 2012 by Tom Castaneda

Adriana Lima should be called a superwoman…

During last night’s televised Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, the 31-year-old Brazilian supermodel strutted her stuff on the runway a mere two months after giving birth to her second daughter.

Lima made her grand entrance in scarlet lace lingerie during runway show, which was taped last month and broadcast on CBS on Tuesday night.

Along with Lima’s impressive comeback, the show’s highlights Rihanna rocking out in a lingerie-inspired look during her special performance of her single “Fresh Out the Runway” at the end of the corset-and-garter parade, earning the audience’s biggest applause while holding her own on the same catwalk as some of the world’s top models.

Meanwhile, Alessandra Ambrosio‘s orchid-petal wings might have lacked a little pizzazz, but she made up for it by donning a $2.5 million jeweled “floral fantasy bra.”

“It’s highly televised, and you take that into consideration,” said model Joan Smalls ahead of the show. “This is kind of not the same as other runways. You have to prepare your body: No. 1 is the wings are heavy, and No. 2 is you have to be comfortable with your body because the camera will pick up on it if you’re not comfortable and confident.”

This year’s show was divided into six sections: Circus, complete with acrobats, contortionists and a sword eater; Dangerous Liaisons; Pink Is Us; Silver Screen Angels; Angels in Bloom; and Calendar Girls, which allowed Bruno Mars to serenade a model for each month of the year.

This year’s show included an announcement that Victoria’s Secret and CBS had each made a donation to relief efforts for Hurricane Sandy, as well as a thank you to the National Guard members based out of the Lexington Avenue Armory that has been home to the show for years.

Posted on November 19, 2012 by Tom Castaneda

It looks like Alessandra Ambrosio is giving Gisele Bündchen a run for her money when it comes to fashion design…

The 31-year-old Brazilian supermodel, who recently flaunted her post-baby body at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show taping, returned to her native country over the weekend to promote the newest additions to the Colcci line.

Dressed in fringed tan shorts and a white blouse, Ambrosio – who gave birth to her second child in May – showed off the Brazilian fashion brand’s latest looks, which she helped design.

Ambrosio’s designs for the line include jeweled shorts, studded shirts, accessories, and even a t-shirt featuring her likeness.

Ambrosio previously shared her duties as face of the label with Two and a Half Men star Ashton Kutcher.

Lima Flaunts Post-Baby Bod at Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Taping

Posted on November 8, 2012 by Tom Castaneda

Talk about impressive… Two months after giving birth to her second child, Adriana Lima isn’t afraid to show off her oh-so-taut post-baby body…

The 31-year-old Brazilian supermodel, who gave birth to daughter Sienna eight weeks ago, was among the gorgeous gals who modeled Victoria’s Secret’s latest collection of lingerie at a fashion show in New York City.

Lima served as a “ringleader” in an embroidered satin red gown that opened at the front to reveal her Victoria’s Secret push-up bra and sexy black high-waisted panties.

Later she traded her “Circus” outfit for a Victoria’s Secret Angel Fantasies bra and garter skirt completed with a rose petal and leaf bustle for an “Angels in Bloom” series.

Meanwhile, fellow Brazilian bombshell Alessandra Ambrosio showed off her own post-baby curves during the show.

The 31-year-old supermodel, who gave birth to her second child, Noah, in May 2012, donned a bedazzled corset, a headpiece and Sexy Little Things bow back panties for the “Circus” segment. And she looked stunning with her orchid wings and leaf bustle that complimented the Floral Fantasy Bra gift set quite well during the “Angels in Bloom” segment.

It’s all part of the 2012 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which will be broadcast on December 4 at 10:00 pm on CBS.
