Media-Whore D'Oevres

"Got the Monday blues? Spend your lunch hour at Bryant Park ogling the celebs ... Max Azria's 6 p.m. show will feature a star-studded front row -- Rihanna, Rose McGowan, Amy Smart, Joss Stone, Jaime King, Sophia Bush, Brittany Murphy, Heather Graham, Natasha Henstridge, Kelly Rowland, and Amerie are all expected to show ... " (NYPost)

"At the Rock & Republic show on Saturday, the packed crowd tried to make their way to the seats...but not without difficulty. Christina Milian was dragged through the slew of people from the back to the stage, then asked to jump up onstage to get to her seat. 'Are we expected to jump up there? I mean, come on,' the singer exclaimed, while friend Sophia Bush grabbed her just in time, pulling her onstage. But it turns out there was actually no seat for Milian: the songstress stood on stage, twisting her hair, and asked, 'Am I gonna just stand here through the show?' She eventually was seated next to other celebs including Ellen Pompeo, Sophia Bush, Lydia Hearst, Joss Stone, and Tyson Beckford. 'It was very rock and roll!' exclaimed Jessica Stam."

"Just left the Diane von Furstenberg show in the Bryant Park tents, where I ran into Hamish Bowles, Michael Roberts and a regular on the blog–whose identity shall remain secret in keeping with DVF’s spies-and-gals-in-the-Berlin-fog theme! Von Furstenberg loves an historical theme to sell contemporary clothes." (NYTimes)

"Early buzz had it that the Y-3 show would take place on ice, and in true Carrie Bradshaw fashion, we had to wonder: Is the company trying to kill its models? Treadmills two seasons ago, a runway slick with water in September ... Surely a frozen catwalk would represent a last-ditch attempt to break Jessica Stam's knees. Luckily for her, the rumors had run wild, and it was merely the walls of the Pier 40 venue that were constructed from blocks of ice. Still, as we watched them melt slowly down onto the already wet runway, we did find ourselves hoping the models had negotiated for hazard pay. Just in case. Conditions proved equally perilous for the attending celebrities. For one thing, poor, smoking-hot Ioan Gruffudd got assigned a seat thigh-to-thigh on the bleachers with Vincent Gallo, who wore a jaunty fuchsia fedora along with the usual tangle of matted facial hair."

"After stopping by Robert Verdi’s uber VIP, uber chic fashion week lounge where I was treated to getting my hair and make up refreshed, I made my way over to the Rag and Bone show ... The celebs were out in full force. Julianne Moore, Sienna Miller (who slipped in under the radar), Ellen Pompeo (who had no comment regarding Justin Chambers recently admitting himself into rehab), and even Gisele Bundchen arrived ready for the show." (OK!)

"Those long days taking orders from a shrewish fashion editor in "The Devil Wears Prada" apparently took their toll on Anne Hathaway. The New Jersey-raised beauty says getting ready for the front-row is as nerve-wracking as attending a junior high school dance. 'There's something that just transports me back to seventh grade when I'm at a fashion show,' Hathaway joked, from her perch next to boyfriend Raffaello Follieri in the front row of Erin Fetherston's show on Friday in the tents. 'You feel like you're at the party, and you're like 'Am I wearing everything all right? Did I do my hair right?' And it's silly, because it's a lot of fun and there shouldn't be any pressure -- but there is.'" (Newsday)
