* SUPER BOWL STYLIST
Now that Saint Reggie Bush has added a Super Bowl ring to his own wardrobe, he gets to advise his girlfriend on her style choices. “I tried on a few pieces for my boyfriend to decide what I should wear to the show,” Kim Kardashian tells Buzz in anticipation of today’s Bebe-Kardashians show at Style360. “Normally he doesn’t say much about my clothes, but the feedback was incredible.” Kardashian, whose most distinguishing physical asset is well known, tells Buzz she started wearing Bebe because, “The jeans are the only ones that fit me.”
* CHANGING ROOM
Next time you see a half-naked blonde on the N train, take a closer look — it might be “90210” star AnnaLynne McCord. “I once changed outfits on a moving subway,” the starlet told Buzz outside the subterranean kitchen that was the celebrity changing room at Jill Stuart yesterday. Not to be outdone, “Brothers & Sisters” actress Roxy Olin told us she has changed behind gas stations and in a bush. And “Gossip Girl” Michelle Trachtenberg changed outfits in a moving NYC taxi. “But I’m not going to describe it for you,” she said. “I’m a lady.”
* PURPLE HEARTS
Zac Posen raised eyebrows by refusing to sit down and eat with anyone at Belvedere Vodka’s Purple magazine dinner. But actress Leelee Sobieski and her husband had no problem sitting at the Valentine’s Day fete or sharing their love a very public way — by groping each other all night. Revelers at the after-party at the Gramercy Park Hotel were also bemused by Jared Leto’s massive fur hat, but the actor/rocker left in a cab early in the night, only to mysteriously return 15 minutes later, hat and all.
* FARM FRESH RUNWAY
Southern designer Billy Reid was taken aback by the price tag for building a rustic-looking set for his country gentleman presentation Sunday. So instead of paying, he rented a truck in his hometown of Florence, Ala., enlisted friends and family to pile it high with fallen leaves and branches, and made the 20-hour drive to Manhattan.
* SEND-OFF
We hear Fashion Week organizers are planning a massive send-off bash to Bryant Park on Thursday night inside the tents. Nightclub veterans Jeffrey Jah, Richie Akiva, David Rabin and others are organizing.
* PARTY CRASHERS
Real Housewife Alex McCord and hubby Simon van Kempen really wanted in to Christian Siriano’s after-party at Lower East Side hot spot the Eldridge. The two, who pushed their way to the front of the line, spent 20 minutes explaining that no, they were not on the guest list, but yes, they were famous enough to be let in. Finally Siriano came out to greet Mena Suvari and nodded to the bouncer to let the party crashers inside.
* NOT A SHORE THING
Jersey Shore may finally make its Fashion Week debut this morning at the Bebe-Kardashians show at Style360. J-Woww has expressed interest in attending, and it all depends on if details can be hammered out before the 10 a.m. showtime.
* GAY TV
“TV has fabricated an identity for gay men,” opined reality star in the making Robert Verdi to Buzz after the Betsey Johnson show. “When people think of gay Americans, they don’t think of the most powerful news anchor on TV,” he continued. To distinguish himself from one gay stereotype concerning niceness and neatness, Verdi plans to show his viewers that he is impossible to deal with and totally disorganized, “the same qualities as Oprah and Letterman.”
