Victoria's Secret to eating cupcakes and keeping ice in your skivvies

Only in the dream-o-sphere that is the Victoria's Secret fashion show can any one get away with wearing a three million dollar diamond fantasy bra. I want to say that seems excessive, but who am I kidding. The frivolity is incredible.

Marisa Miller had the opportunity to wear the $3 million Fantasy Bra this year. It's piped with 150 carats of stones, including a dangling 16-carat heart-shaped stone.

In case you have nothing better to do with a few million, you can actually buy the bra. Unfortunately, orders are taken by telephone only and no other discount applies.

In this exclusive video we find out that models actually do eat... preferably cupcakes.

Dudamel is a "Duracell Plus"

Watching Gustavo Dudamel work with an orchestra is such a pleasure. He's young, enthusiastic, and he knows his music. He knows exactly what he wants at all times, and makes sure that his orchestra brings to life his vision of "the universe that is a symphony." Not all art is beautiful and pretty, sometimes it has to be repulsive... Rumor has it he's being considered for the position of Music Director at La Scala. He will definitely bring in a fresh perspective.

Tim Burton is a Terrifying Genius

Take me to New York right now! The MoMA is currently running a career retrospective exhibition of his artwork and design.

In this clip he discusses his body of work, the inner workings of his mind, and growing up on monster movies. He let's us know that the circular dynamic of striped socks both calms and grounds him, and "the word normal always scared me because that indicated something that was quite subversively terrifying in some way."

8 1/2 plus 4 Oscar Winners = NINE

There are no words for how amazing Federico Fellini's original 1963 film "8 1/2" is. It's the story of a film director (Marcello Mastroianni) who has a severe case of director's block. The film captures the process of creation, and unfolds organically. If you haven't seen it, please go rent it before shelling out for the upcoming Hollywood Musical remake "Nine." I have a feeling that it would be very difficult to appreciate the subtleties of the original after watching the new version. I'm obviously really excited for "Nine" anyway.

Here's a clip from 8 1/2, it's a scene of the unforgettable "La Saraghina." Fellini loved full-figured bombshells. Fergie plays the prostitute in Nine, I wonder how her scenes will compare.
