The "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show" will make its network television debut at 8 tonight on ABC (KITV-4).The lingerie company was convinced that a television show would be successful, based on the interest it got two years when it put on a Web fashion show that 1 million people logged on to watch, bringing the site down for 20 minutes.

Rupert Everett will be the host of the $5 million holiday-themed production that was taped Tuesday at New York's Bryant Park. It will include Andrea Bocelli, a 50-piece orchestra, comedy skits and, of course, Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum and 23 other models wearing Victoria's Secret lingerie.

"It's a huge deal," said Ed Razek, marketing director for the Limited Inc., 84 percent-owner of Intimate brands, which includes Victoria Secrets.
