Would You Pay This Gobsmacking Amount of Money to Attend the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show?

Tickets for the Victoria's Secret's annual fashion show, which will be held in London for the first time ever this year, are reportedly selling for £9,995 ($16,663). Also want to go to the after party? That ups your cost by $3,000. For a total of $20,000. To see some models in wings walk on some glitter and then have champagne and a tuna skewer in the same nightclub as them after.

Cornucopia Events is selling these tickets. As part of one of their VS show *~SpEcIaL pAcKaGeS*~ they can also put you up at a fancy hotel, drive you to and fro in a limo, and make you restaurant reservations somewhere cLaSsy*~.

They're charging $20,000 for all this, the Telegraph reports, "to keep out the riff raff." Though, who are they fooling? The Situation can obviously afford this.

For those of us who are not the Situation, and for whom attending is not even a remote possibility, the show will be televised on CBS.

Summer Music Festivals: Attend At Your Own Risk

Summoning up the pluck of, say, two sassy tween twins who managed to get their estranged parents back together, Lindsay Lohan has somehow managed to convince the court not to send her to rehab until after the celebrity scene-heavy Coachella Music Festival.

However, her good friend Claus (Oh man, of COURSE one of her good friends is named Claus) thinks she's in a "dark place" that might be exacerbated by the festival's hedonism.

Says Claus, according to The Hollywood Gossip:

“I fear for Lindsay's life if she goes to the festival. Lindsay is in a very dark place right now, and I’m absolutely scared for her life. Coachella is the last place she needs to be. For someone struggling with addiction, like Lindsay, the amount of drugs and alcohol at Coachella is just a recipe for disaster waiting to happen. I know because I have been to the VIP tent at Coachella. Lindsay can turn it around, but she has to look deep inside herself and get the help she needs."

While I'm pretty sure at this point that Lindsay would find a way to get her drugs/sauce on everywhere from a VIP room to an empty Wendy's in Poughkeepsie at two-forty in the afternoon, it's true that music festivals are often a hotbed of hard drugs, booze, It-Girls, and rock stars/would-be-rock stars with their pants hanging down around their ankles.

Like MTV's transition from the heyday of the '80s, music festivals aren't really about the music anymore. But each festival has their own independent hazards. Here's what you have to fear on this year's circuit:

Coachella:
Trampling by concertgoers clamoring for the VIP room.
Karate-chopping by style photographer.
Death by trendy overalls.
Out-cooling by Alexa Chung.

Pitchfork:
Committing hara-kiri after mentioning a band that's totally over.
Smothering to death by beards.
Alcohol poisoning from $1 PBRs.
Irony overdosing.
Ejected for not wearing flannel and/or carrying Moleskine notepad.
Ejected for showing any kind of joy/movement to music rather than nodding head in time serenely.

Burning Man:
Consumption by giant turtle.
Cursing off by talking tree.
Overdosing on acid. (Actually, maybe this also accounts for the two above.)
Contracting mutant strain of VD.

SXSW:
Being crushed by errant stage light during filming of Portlandia parody episode.
Being mumblecored to death.
