The great chili caper has finally come to an end: a Yonkers woman was arrested at a White Plains Victoria Secret yesterday for dumping a vat of chili on a panties display in a fit of fiery anger. more ›

Poor Victoria's Secret—the chain just can't catch a break. Last year the lingerie-peddling company was felled by bedbugs, accusations of encouraging eating disorders, and, last but not least, reselling used underwear. Today, Vickie and her Angels are under fire again, this time for needlessly destroying returned merchandise—and we're not talking about used thongs. more ›

As the pro-Palestine Global BDS Day of Action on Land Day draws to a close, we'd like to take this opportunity to point out that the counterprotest today is a lot more complex than originally understood. To recap, thousands of pro-Palestine activists are protesting around the globe today and calling for people to boycott companies like Victoria's Secret, which supposedly makes some of its clothes in Israel. To protest the protest, a pro-Israel group promised to send "sexy Israel supporters" to hand out Victoria Secret panties in Union Square Park, to encourage people to support Israel by supporting the lingerie company. But if the blog Jewish FAIL is to believed, there is actually a rather perverse irony to all of this. more ›

Happy Global BDS Day of Action on Land Day! Today activists like the ones in this video will be calling for a boycott of Israel "until it respects the basic rights of Palestinians living under occupation, within Israel and in exile." To start the festivities early, on Saturday a flash mob of 30 keffiyeh-clad protesters performed a big dance number in Grand Central Terminal to the tune of "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey—but with the chorus "Don't stop boycottin'." Cringing already? Watch the video and get ready to change your name to Cringer Rogers: more ›

Last night, Victoria's Secret held its annual runway show (to be broadcast on CBS, November 30) at the Lexington Avenue Armory, offering up over-the-top outfits on slinky models. This year's theme was "A Night Of A Thousand Fantasies," and apparently soccer, race car driving, and Rainbow Brite style stockings are among them. But don't think it's all sequins, feathers and lace—it's also WORK. Model Alessandra Ambrosio said, "I called my trainer 15 days ago and started doing the Brazilian butt lift, which is lots of ankle weights. Yesterday, I was lifting 30 pounds on each leg. I was like, dying. But you get immediate results. Your bum gets way more round." more ›

The bloodthirsty bedbug army continues to maraud through Manhattan's big name clothing chains; having already brought Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch to their knees, bedbug forces briefly seized a Victoria's Secret store in Lenox Hill Wednesday, as part of a cunning ploy to make women across the city suddenly very squeamish. It's also believed that female bedbugs—who reproduce via traumatic insemination; i.e. getting jabbed in the abdomen by the male's sharp penis—look hot in a thong. more ›

Ladies in over-the-top lingerie get-ups stomped down the runway at the Lexington Avenue Armory for Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. According to Newsday, "Some 2,000 showgoers including Jay-Z, Michelle Trachtenberg and Virgin Atlantic's Richard Branson (a 'fashion show virgin,' he said) were treated to the extravaganza of bra-and-panty clad Victoria's Secret angels - much more modest than in years past - strutting down a runway with adjacent mosh-pits, wearing massive wings, lunar sculptures, branches and glitzy accessories that conjured a 'magical journey' from space voyage, old world train travel, an enchanted forest and a happy hippie segment that included a giant inflatable pink polka-dot puppy that rose from the floor." more ›

Victoria's Secret held the New York portion of their National Model Search at Yankee Stadium this past Saturday, and the wanna-be Angels are now popping up all over the place. There were reportedly around 2,000 who showed up (some with wings)... but no word yet on who knocked it out of the park, or if A-Rod auditioned. more ›

Fashion Week is right around the corner, again, but months afterl the couture is cleared the fashion world will be something for the average man: Victoria's Secret Angels. The winged ones haven't brought their annual "fashion" show here for four years, and The Daily News reports that "runway regulars Marisa Miller and Alessandra Ambrosio, broke the news on the CBS Early Show" yesterday that they would be returning—with Miller stating that New York is exactly "where it belongs." If your front row invite gets lost in the mail, the show airs on CBS in December. Angel Heidi Klum is set to have a baby in October, and told People that "The birth will be very, very close to when the show is. I don’t know if I’ll be able to walk in my underwear quite that fast! We’ll see." Meanwhile, another angel, Adriana Lima (pictured) is due in December, and says she won't be part of the show unless she can hide under a Santa outfit. more ›

The recession is really hitting home for one well-to-do Brooklyn couple. Real Housewives of New York's Alex McCord (betrothed to the creepy Simon Van Kempen) has just lost her job as visual merchandiser at Victoria's Secret (she was 1 of 90 axed at the NYC offices). More shocking is that she even had a job! Seeing as how the couple spend most of their time shopping and plotting the huge renovation on their Cobble Hill home, this is just very sad news. What purpose could they possibly serve on the show now? Perhaps they can form a troupe of triste Parisian mimes with their French-speaking spawn, Francois and Johan. For now, McCord says they will still jet off to St. Barth's even though it was her salary "that tended to pay for their infamous shopping sprees, not to mention the cost of their full-time nanny."

After several days of deliberation and speculation, the Yankees announced today that Alex Rodriguez will undergo arthroscopic surgery tomorrow to repair the torn labrum in his hip. That should only keep A-Rod sidelined somewhere from six to nine weeks, an improvement on the original diagnosis that a cyst would keep him out for a full ten weeks. more ›

Victoria's Secret bras online. George Tutaya, 41, set up eBay usernames and PayPal accounts to sell the bras, which retail between $40-80, for just $25 a pop. It's believed he got the bras from a shoplifting ring and he sold over 2,000. When police went to his home, they found another 650 bras. He is being held on $7,500 bail; a neighbor described the Tutayas as a quiet family. And Queens DA Richard Brown said, "Trafficking in stolen goods on the Internet will no more be tolerated than fencing stolen property would be anywhere else." more ›

Like Kramer and Frank Costanza before her, Katerina Pew designed a bra made just for her -- except her biggest problem wasn't naming it (the Bro? The Manzier?). The 38-year-old struggling, single mom was sick and tired of bra straps, but her bra-making brainstorm only resulted in a lawsuit against Victoria's Secret after they allegedly stole her idea. more ›
