Meanwhile, Kanye West was a no show at the Victoria's Secret Fashion
Show. He canceled his scheduled appearance, devastated by his mother's
death. Black Eyed Peas front man Will.I.Am filled in the superstar's
absence.

Beautiful Selita Ebanks munched
on a salad backstage before the
show began.
Even the Victoria's Secret models were thinking about Kanye before the show, sending thoughts and prayers to the music superstar during this difficult time.
But, the show had to go on. Backstage was a flurry of activity as a team of stylists curled the gorgeous models' hair and applied make up to their flawless faces. Some models multi-tasked, talking on the phone while being made up. Still others found time for a last minute meal.
Stacey Kiebler, Eva Longoria, Gabrielle Union and Hayden Panettiere made the pink carpet almost as sexy as the runway show.
Model Karolina Kurkova expressed her deepest
sympathy for Kanye in the wake of his
mother's unexpected death.
Models paraded down the runway in barely-there fashions ranging from surreal to holiday festive. Heidi Klum carefully sashayed down the runway dressed as a snowflake while being serenaded by husband, Seal. Things got even spicier when the Spice Girls took the stage, performing together live for the first time in 10 years.
