Black Friday 2011 is on track to be an intense shopping day—this year bargain-hunters will be able to shop just hours after finishing their Thanksgiving dinners. Target, Kohl’s, and Macy’s plan to kick off Black Friday when the clock strikes midnight on November 25th, and doors will remain open for 23 hours. More stores are expected to announce their hours and deals for the Thanksgiving weekend in the next week or so. Tell us, do you plan on shopping through the night on Black Friday?

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Not Walking in Victoria’s Secret Show

Nov 2, 2011 @ 2:15 pm

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is just days away, and we’re finding out more about which models are on the roster. One new revelation: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley won’t be hitting the runway when the show films November 9th. “I’m not walking this year,” she told InStyle.com exclusively at a Beverly Hills bash for Burberry Body. “I’m working that day.” However, the model-turned-actress has some tips for the girls who will grace the stage. “It’s all about confidence and state of mind,” said the 24-year-old Transformers star, who made her debut for VS in 2006. “Do whatever it takes to get to that place. I feel most comfortable when I’m filled with love.” As for managing the wings? “I used to really not like getting the big wings,” she explained. “It’s really tough, so hold on tight!”
