Nearly 30 Victoria’s Secret models, including Heidi Klum, Karolina Kurkova, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart, Selita Ebanks, Marisa Miller and Miranda Kerr, posed next to their brand-new honorary star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Tuesday.
In case you didn’t know:
The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a sidewalk along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, United States, which is embedded with more than 2,000 five-pointed stars featuring the names of not only human celebrities but fictional characters honored by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for their contributions to the entertainment industry. The Walk of Fame is maintained by the self-financing Hollywood Historic Trust. The first star, awarded on February 9, 1960, went to Joanne Woodward.

E! presents the beautiful women who catwalked their way into the big time — and the big bucks, and look at some of the All-Stars- famous faces from another era who still make bank.
In the November issue of Vanity Fair, Victoria’s Secret models Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio, Karolina Kurkova, Izabel Goulart, Selita Ebanks, and Adriana Lima stripped down even more than they do for those lingerie commercials.
The models next gig will be the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, airing December 4 on CBS. The FCC is probably already hiring call takers for the onslaught.

Gisele Bundchen made more money than Tom Brady last year.
Gisele Bundchen tops Forbes.com’s list of the world’s richest models, earning $33 million in the last 12 months. The Brazilian supermodel strutted past the likes of Kate Moss, who came in at No.2, and Heidi Klum, who placed third on the list.
Bundchen, 26, parted ways with Victoria’s Secret in May and will see her lucrative contract with the lingerie brand expire at the end of the year. Still, she boasts “more contracts than any other model on the planet,” Forbes.com said, and has appeared in campaigns for high-end brands including Apple, Dolce & Gabbana and Roberto Cavalli.
Moss, who recently launched a clothing line at British fashion retailer Topshop, ranks second with $9 million. The 33-year-old fashion icon is the new face of fashion label Stella McCartney and Italian sportswear company Belstaff.
Klum, 34, placed third with $8 million. She is a Victoria’s Secret spokesmodel and host of Bravo’s “Project Runway.”
Two more Victoria’s Secret beauties — Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio — rounded out the top five with $6 million each.
They were followed by Carolyn Murphy ($5 million); Natalia Vodianova ($4.5 million); Karolina Kurkova and Daria Werbowy (both $3.5 million); Gemma Ward ($3 million); Liya Kebede ($2.5 million); Hilary Rhoda and Shalom Harlow (both $2 million); and Doutzen Kroes and Jessica Stam (both $1.5 million).
In ranking these catwalkers, Forbes.com said editors also factored in a model’s “relevancy” — determined by recent campaigns, fashion magazine covers and opinions of those in the fashion industry — where necessary. The list was posted Monday on the Web site.
Clearly, I made the wrong decision going to school and learning to do something useful. Being hot and vapid is clearly where the money is.
