The annual Victoria's Secret fashion show would not be complete without A-list entertainment and the 2011 show delivered in a huge way. Jay-Z, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and Maroon 5 provided the musical portion of this incredible show.

Jay-Z and Kanye West performed N**'s in Paris from their Watch The Throne collaboration. Kanye also performed his hit Stronger as the models sashayed up and down the catwalk.  Kanye was to have been at the show in 2007 but  because of the death of his beloved mother he missed the show:

"In 2007, I was supposed to perform this song … then my mom passed away," "She was my superhero. Now she's my super-angel."

Nicki Minaj was a sea of pastels singing Super Bass while Adam Levine walked down the runway with girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna while he and Maroon 5 sang Moves Like Jagger.

The total cost of the show? Twelve million big ones! Recession? What recession? You can watch all the opulence when the 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show hits your television on November 29 at 10 p.m.

Maroon 5′s Adam Levine and his girlfriend Victoria’s Secret model Anne Vyalitsyna are in bed together while a few dozen people, along with a film crew watch and take pictures. But it’s cool, because they are shooting scenes for Maroon 5′s upcoming music video “Never Gonna Leave This Bed in Los Angeles.

Adam and Anne have been dating for about a year and isn’t it usually around that time in a relationship that the film crew comes in? This is one very hot couple, yes?

I’ve also included those pictures of Adam Levine naked while his girlfriend gives him a ‘hand’ for testicular cancer awareness that appeared in Cosmopolitan. I know they have nothing to do with this series of photos, but why not?
