Known for her no-nonsense attitude on the runway, the model gets the job done, regardless how long the runway is. Rumor has it that she once walked all the way down a 30-foot runway. And back! She's seen here wearing the female version of the Karate Kid's Halloween costume. But once the hard work was over, the party started.

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is an annual event that attracts a massive viewership. The inaugural 1995 show wasn't broadcast but when more than 2 million people logged on to watch the webcast in 1999, organizers realized they had something special on their hands.

Viewership peaked at 12.4 million in 2001 when ABC aired the event. After that Victoria's Secret signed on with CBS as it's broadcaster. In addition to the girls prancing around in their elaborate lingerie, the show also features musical guest who perform, a tradition that started with the first telecast. Since then, pretty much everyone from Sting to mary J. Blige to Justin Timberlake to Kanye West have performed.

The 2011 telecast is set to air on Tuesday, Nov. 29 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on CBS.
