October 07 06:05:02 AM, Yahoo News

E! Online - " Heidi Klum's latest runway project involves some seriously scantily clad catwalkers: The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show features the likes of Klum, Alessandra Ambrosia, Selita Ebanks, Doutzen Kroes, Adriana Lima, Marisa Miller and Miranda Kerr "in this holiday infused lingerie runway show" taking place at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach and airing Dec. 3. Bells won't be the only thing jingling.

• Jimmy Kimmel is making his fourth go-round at the American Music Awards, airing live on ABC Nov. 23. The producer calls Kimmel "a masterful host...audiences can expect a great night." Quips Kimmel: "I agree...completely."

• Yet another degree of Kevin Bacon. His ubiquitous self will produce a new Showtime series, The Booths, centering on actor/assassin extraordinaire John Wilkes Booth and his thespian bros. No word yet whether Bacon will play a role.

• If at first you don't succeed…American Idol runner-up David Archuleta will play a contestant on Nickelodeon's iCarly in an ep scheduled to air next year.

• J.C. Chasez is in sync for a movie role, enlisting for duty in director Mario Van Peebles' action-thriller Kerosene Cowboys, playing a member of an elite Navy squad that sneaks into the Middle East to save the world from a devastating weapon.

• Speaking of devastating weapons, Superman alter ego Brandon Routh, Gil Bellows, Martin Donovan and The Matrix's Carrie-Anne Moss are joining the already-cast Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Sheen in Unthinkable, a suspense thriller about the race to stop a terrorist group from detonating nuclear bombs in three U.S. cities.

• Fresh off her star-making turn in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, Kat Dennings is looking to star in Defendor, playing the teenage sidekick of a regular guy (Woody Harrelson) who thinks he has a secret superhero identity. Sandra Oh will play his shrink.

• Aidan Quinn, Andie MacDowell and Ryan Merriman are hitting the field for The 5th Quarter, based on the Kleenex-inducing true story of Jon Abbate, a Wake Forest football player (Merriman) who led his team to an historic season and a trip to the Orange Bowl after dedicating his play to his teenage brother who died in a car crash. Quinn and MacDowell will play his parents.

• Butt-kicking Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon babe Zhang Ziyi is the choice to headline Sophie's Revenge, a Chinese-language romantic comedy. What, was Meryl Streep unavailable?
