NEW YORK - Katy Perry led the dance party that doubled as the finale of last week's Victoria's Secret fashion show, an annual parade of skimpy, sexy and over-the-top lingerie.
In a yellow, strapless bustier dress covered in pink hearts, Perry - who also wore the thigh-high boots that were a trend among the catwalkers - fit right in with the likes of models Adriana Lima, Chanel Iman and Karolina Kurkova.
Her other outfit was a purple bustier that boasted a bustle.
Perry sang a medley of her own songs, including "Teenage Dream," "Hot N Cold" and "California Gurls," but it was Blondie's "Call Me" booming through the speakers that got the three dozen models bouncing around the stage.
Blondie lead singer Debbie Harry was in the audience along with Serena Williams, Adrian Grenier, Nicky and Paris Hilton and Tyson Beckford.
R&B star Akon got his turn to serenade the models, performing "Angel" during the section of the show dubbed "Heavenly Bodies." There were even a few dance moves between the singer and Lima, donning a $2 million bra encrusted in Diamiani diamonds and sapphires.
Other themes were the exotic "Wild Things," the heavy metal-infused "Tough Love," the flirty "Pink Planet," the sports-themed "Game On," and the wholesome-but-not-really "Country Girls." For that, model Lindsay Ellingson put on a straw corset, and Alessandra Ambrosio wore a high-neck chiffon baby-doll top with a super-low panties.
Unlike most fashion shows, the clothes here are not all that important, but the elaborate signature wings and other props, including boxing gloves and peacock tails, add to the excitement on the runway.
Victoria's Secret says underneath all the sparkle, feathers and studs are some push-up bras and lacy bottoms sold in stores, but, really, who'd notice?
Several catwalkers got their first pair of wings this year, which is a literal and figurative coronation of the brand's top models. They include Erin Heatherton, Lily Aldridge and Candice Swanepoel.
The difference between some of the newer models and more seasoned VS Angels, however, is an electricity and warmth that was largely missing from the runway. Doutzen Kroes and Miranda Kerr sat out because they are both pregnant, and the company and Heidi Klum, who got the crowd going last year when she bared a toned, fit body just weeks after giving birth, recently ended their affiliation.
Longtime model Isabeli Fontana did enjoy a fully engaging moment during this show when she strutted in a silver bra and sequin swim bottoms carrying an oversized barbell and tossed it to a group of bare-chested male gymnasts.
TV audiences get a chance to see the action when CBS televises the show Nov. 30.

Katy Perry Honeymoon in Maldives was NOT Paradise!
Monday, November 1st, 2010 at 5:49 am

Now back to the not so romantic vacation. The wedding week was wild and beautiful and there were even noise complaints! However it was amazing and that’s what they hoped would continue on their trip to the exotic and private resort. Well the first night the “Teenage Dream” singer got bitten by a spider and got an unfortunate rash on her legs that prevented the two from being intimate.
Can you believe that? Well hopefully it will clear up soon and they can enjoy married life. The Russell Brand & Katy Perry honeymoon is not the first to have hiccups, but I hope they were able to enjoy themselves in other ways.

Why the no-show?
"Rih was finishing her album, and she just switched managers, so she had to pull out at the last minute," a source close to the "Only Girl" singer explains to UsMagazine.com.

"It was always sort of up in the air that she would go anyway, and Katy knew that," the source adds. "They saved her a room just in case, but they always knew it would be nearly impossible for her to make it as she's still finishing the album and it's out in a few weeks. Rih was in the studio all weekend."

Perry and Brand exchanged their vows against "the inspirational and majestic countryside of Northern India," in a ceremony officiated by a Christian minister, according to her rep's statement.
A day after tying the knot, they posted pics of their names and Tweeted, "WE DID!" The "Fireworks" singer and British comic have since flown to the Maldives for their honeymoon.

The quirky couple have kept the blogosphere guessing about the details surrounding their nups since Russell — an ex-sex addict — propsed to Katy after three months of dating during a trip to India last December. Despite previous rumors placing the weddings in Thailand, India, and Britain, snoops insists this scoop is solid.
The saucy songstress went topless for a new shoot for Esquire magazine, where she also spilled her Russell Brand-taming secrets. Apparently she managed to turn the one-time “professional prostitute” (her words) into a one-woman man by simple refusing to have sex with him. Genius!

The Only Girl (In The World) singer was forced to miss their ceremony in India because she was promoting her Loud album, so splurged on the extravagant gift to make it up to best friend Katy. The newlyweds will fly first class to the Japanese capital and spend four nights in the £1,500-a-night Dynasty suite at the Mandarin Oriental hotel.

"Rihanna hasn't stopped apologising since the wedding day," an insider told The Sun. "She told Katy she'd been racking her brains about how to make it up to them. She knows how much Katy loves Tokyo, so this way she could give them a trip they would always remember."
Now that Katy and Russell are hitched, the Firework singer has turned matchmaker and wants Rihanna to get married as soon as possible. RiRi has been dating baseball player Matt Kemp since January.
“Katy thinks I should get married now, but she needs to calm down on that one,” the 22-year-old said. “I mean, one day, but not just yet – we're having too much fun.”
