Stylist to the stars Mariel Haenn, whose clients include Rihanna, says fashion critics who claim Christina Aguilera ripped off Lady Gaga's look have it wrong. "Seeing stuff ? the black patent leather, the tutus and the spikes - reminds me of Rihanna more than Gaga," Haenn told us Wednesday at the Tanqueray Summer Kick-Off event held Upstairs at the Kimberly Hotel.

James Lipton has shared the stage with some serious star power on "Inside the Actor's Studio," but the TV show's host says his dream interview will be the one he does with a graduate of Pace University, where his show and the drama school that spawned it, are based. And it looks like "The A-Team" co-star Bradley Cooper will have that honor. At the Group for the East End's Green Gala at the Wolffer Estate on Saturday, Lipton told Gatecrasher that Cooper is making plans to appear on the show. When he does, the actor should bring a handkerchief. Lipton admitted that when a Pace alum does finally appear on the show, "I won't be able to begin for five minutes because I'll be crying so hard." What Lipton won't be doing is tweeting tidbits about Cooper. "I don't tweet," says Lipton, who adds that @IAmJamesLipton is … well, not James Lipton. The academic was shocked when we pointed out that someone has been using his name. "I'm not on Twitter," Lipton said. "In the first place, I can't clear my throat in 140 letters, and that's the limit. I'm notoriously long-winded."

Elle Macpherson was dubbed "The Body" when she rose to fame as a stunning supermodel in the '80s - and at the "Britain's Next Top Model" launch party Wednesday night, Macpherson earned her moniker.

The 47-year-old showed up at the event in a pair of jaw-dropping skintight PVC pants.

Macpherson - who is the new host of "Britain's Next Top Model" - paired her shiny pleather pants with a loose-fitting white T-shirt and sky-high stilettos.

"Elle ups the ante," said Macpherson's fellow judge Julien Macdonald to the Daily Mail. "She's 47 with the body of an 18-year-old. She looks incredible. She's so inspiring."

"She doesn't have a stylist, but she dresses like the most glamorous rock star's wife," Macdonald continued. "If I was a woman, I wouldn't mind being Elle."
