You go, Gigi Hadid!

Since landing one of (if not the) ultimate modeling gigs—walking in the Victoria's Secret Fashion show, obviously—the 20-year-old model hasn't been shy about expressing her complete and utter excitement to walk in the presentation. But before the runway (or the backstage prep) could happen, you know there had to be a few fittings to make sure everything was perfect for the almost-Angel.
And lucky us, we didn't just score a sneak peek of her outfit test drive—we also got a chance to hear the top model dish on her dream-come-true casting.

"I've been watching the show for as long as I can remember," she shares in the clip. "So to be in it is a dream come true. I'm so excited."
What's more, Gigi also opened up about her whirlwind casting experience (of which we've already seen the video, mind you) and what was going through her mind day-of.
"I went in for a normal casting so I didn't think anything different of it," Gigi, who's already landed modeling gigs for VS's little sister brand Pink, said. "Then when I was supposed to leave they were like, wait one second, we're going to do one more take. And I was like that's kind of weird, and then Ed [Razek, Victoria's Secret senior creative] asked me what I was doing on the ninth and tenth of November and asked if I would be in the show."

"It was such a surprise!" she added. "Obviously, when you go to a casting you kind of walk out not really knowing how you did. So it was a really nice surprise to walk out knowing what was going to happen, that was great."
And as if that weren't enough, just wait until you get a peek of (one of) Gigi's sexy catwalk ensembles (hint, hint: she's literally smokin' hot). But first, watch Gigi's interview and her entire behind the scenes fitting in the video below!
Be sure to set to tune into the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, airing on Dec. 8 at 10 p.m. on CBS.

Moscow claims Turkey shot down plane to ensure oil exchange with ISIS.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says he'll leave if Moscow can demonstrate its claim that Turkey shot down a Russian plane to secure its oil exchange with ISIS. "When such a case is demonstrated, the honorability of our country requires [me] to do this," Erdogan told columnists at the environmental change summit in Paris on Monday. Be that as it may, he included, if the assertions are untrue, then Russian President Vladimir Putin ought to leave. "I am asking Mr. Putin, would you remain?" Thus goes the raising war of words between the two countries which started after Turkish air ship shot down a Russian warplane close to its fringe with Syria on November 24. The pilot kicked the bucket. Turkey says the plane was in its airspace; Russia it was shelling ISIS targets.
Putin: Defending airspace a pretext:
On Monday, Putin alleged than downing the plane in the name of defending airspace was just a pretext.

"We have recently received additional reports that confirm that oil from ISIL- controlled territories is delivered to the territory of Turkey on an industrial scale," he said, according to TASS news agency. ISIS is also referred to as ISIL."We have all grounds to suspect that the decision to down our plane was motivated by the intention to secure these routes of delivering oil to ports where it is loaded on tankers," he said.Untrue, Erdogan said."It is obvious where we legally buy oil and natural gas from," Erdogan said, as reported by Turkey's Anadolu news agency. "Everyone must know that we are not that disreputable to make such a deal with terrorist organizations."

Taking Turkey's side:

In the bitter debate over where the Russian warplane was flying when it was shot down, the United States took Turkey's side Monday.

The available information indicates the warplane was in Turkish airspace, State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said.

Also Monday, the body of the Russian pilot, Col. Oleg Peshkov, was flown back to Russia.
