Miranda Kerr to Wear VS $2.5m Fantasy Bra

The event’s much awaited pictures might be available after the first week of November, say by the ninth. The Victoria’s Secret Angel Miranda Kerr is slated to return to the Victoria's Secret lingerie show with a $2.5million Fantasy Bra, in the footsteps of Gisele Bunchen, Heidi Klum, Tyra Banks and Karolina Kurkova who modeled for a $15million bra back in 2000.

About one-third of all the people living now in the world might not have worn a bra, whether it is the costliest or the cheapest. Don’t take the statistics as given by any reliable source, but by a crazy bra statistician who roughly calculated that about 50% of the world population could be males, and added to that the preteens, some ethnic women who never wear bras, and some naturists, to arrive at about 66.66% of the world population.

And out of the one-third, the bra statistician claimed, there can be millions of women who either have heard about VS lingerie and bras, but a few of them have either seen or worn them, considering that there are other brands of bras too. And among men, there can be a huge number of them who love the VS bras, not because they buy or wear them, but they immensely love the Victoria’s Secret Angels such as the dimple-cheeked Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr.

The big news that makes round and rounds of fashion sites and blogged eagerly by fashion bloggers is that the VS $2.5m Fantasy Bra is just a push-up bra bedecked with precious gems. To make the bra so special, VS got it embedded with two 14-carat yellow diamonds and two 8-carat white diamonds which are just a few of the costly gems out of the 3,400 gems consisting of pearls, citrines, diamonds and aquamarines that have been embedded into the hand-stitched push-up bra.

Kerr will wear the $2.5million Fantasy Bra during Victoria's Secret lingerie show in November.

Vidya Balan advised rest for seven days


Vidya Balan, whose much hyped about film ‘The Dirty Picture’ a biopic based on the life of the Indian actress Silk Smitha, has been advised complete rest for a week by doctors. She has been working to a tight schedule especially for the completion of her forthcoming film based on the life of Silk Smitha, who became the ultimate sex symbol of Indian films in the 80’s acting in over 450 films in a career spanning over 17 years.

Because of dizziness and fatigue, Vidya Balan underwent a checkup and a series of medical tests that revealed her haemoglobin count was lower than normal. On being advised to get hospitalized, she was put on drip and kept under observation at Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital from where she was discharged with the medical advice for complete rest for a week, industry sources reported.

Reports say that she has been working nonstop for the last few weeks as the 33-year-old actress expects her role in the biopic as her dream role, and such hard work has had its toll on her health.

Her 7-day rest can affect the last phase of the shooting for ‘The Dirty Picture’ and also it can tighten up the schedule of Sujoy Ghosh's Kahaani, slated for release in January 2012.

However, the director Milan Luthria and producer Ekta Kapoor are reported to be confident that their film The Dirty Picture will be ready for release on time.

Following the box office success of her last releases such as Paa, Ishqiya and No One Killed Jessica, industry sources and her fans expect her next film The Dirty Picture and Kahaani to be released in January, also to be huge success stories.

A short teaser of The Dirty Picture was launched online on 26 August 2011, and it received very good response, and its trailer was released on YouTube.

Vidya Balan will be reenacting the life story of the Indian film actress Silk Smitha (1960-1996) in a biopic titled ‘The Dirty Picture’, expected to be released Smitha's birthday on December 2, 2011. The Hindi movie is being produced by Ekta Kapoor and directed by Milan Luthria, starring Vidya Balan (as Silk Smitha), Naseeruddin Shah, Emraan Hashmi and Tusshar Kapoor in important roles. Starting her career as make-up girl in 1970s, she went on to become an extra, a heroine of the early 80s, a stereotyped item-number actress, and a sought after sex symbol that could make films that were even canned for years huge hits. Debuting in a 1979 Malayalam film, “Inaye Thedi” she acted in over 450 films, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Hindi language films in a career spanning over 17 years.

Vasuki Sunkavalli at 2011 Miss Universe

Vasuki Sunkavalli at 2011 Miss Universe

India has had dry run at the Miss Universe prestigious pageant since the 2000 event when the model-turned-Bollywood actress Lara Dutta won the title for India. In this year’s event held at São Paulo, Brazil, India’s official entry was the 27-year-old Hyderabadi woman Vasuki Sunkavalli, who had been crowned and/ or titled ‘I Am She - Miss Universe India 2011’. Though she went with the full hope of winning the title, unfortunately she could not make even to the final Top 16. Funnily enough, she could not participate in all the performing events, because her national costume was not delivered to her in time and she could not pose in it for the judges.
