He may have gotten jack for the first season of "Project Runway," but now everyone's favorite mentor, Tim Gunn, is getting some serious haute couture bucks for just showing up to an event.

Sources close to Gunn, who also hosts his own TV show and is Chief Creative Officer for Liz Claiborne, tell us he gets close to $30K for public appearances. Make it work! In contrast, "Hills" star Audrina Patridge nets around $10K to show up to a club and Kim K demands about $25K.

While Tim isn't hosting nights at Les Deux or PURE like those ladies, if you want his design expertise at your next fashion event it's gonna cost you.

A rep for Gunn didn't immediately comment.

The diminutive 50-year-old's footwear makes his Britney shades, prison top, BeBe white trench and spandex boot cut Forever 21 size zero slacks seem almost normal. Almost.

Looking like a risen Kurt Cobain, MKO hit the streets of L.A. on Monday decked out in a 1992 frat flannel, Catherine Bach's tattered Daisy Dukes and a pair of orthopedic gladiator sandals. What? No iced coffee drink?!

Both she and her old kitchen need an extreme makeover.

But after this purple Barney dress debacle, let's hope it's her stylist's last dance.

It looks like LC's fashion designing career could be as fake as "The Hills"!

Sources close to the Lauren Conrad line tell us LC's claim that she's involved in every step of the design process is overstated. We're told, "You never see her picking out fabrics, or in the cutting room, or even at the drawing board. She's not the designer, the only step she's involved in is the promotion."

We're also told the clothing line mainly is fashioned by Sherri Roozrak-Wood, a former designer for Tart. And surprise! LC's clothes look an awful lot like some of the old Tart designs.

Our spies were at Kress nightclub last week, and they tell us they overheard LC tell an aspiring designer that she wished she knew how to sketch. Cuts you up!

We talked to LC about the claims made, and she tells us, "These claims are ridiculous. Anyone who knows me knows how important designing is to me and how much time and devotion I put into my own line. I am and always have been the sole designer of the Lauren Conrad Collection."

Not a Crips blue or a Bloods red, ex-gangsta Ice-T wears Crystal Light fuchsia.

The 50-year-old "Law & Order:SVU" star and his classy wife Coco donned different hues of pink out in Vegas this weekend.

The singer was out shopping on Thursday, and we're told she dropped over $15,000 at Fred Segal in just two hours! Rih-Rih has just graduated from diva-in-training to certified diva!

Sources say the singer not only bought clothes, but seven different expensive jewelry pieces, including items like diamond bangles. Poor Chris Brown didn't even get the chance to buy bling for his lady -- she already beat him to it!

She definitely needs to see some sort of wizard.

Champa -- who once starred in an episode of "JAG" -- borrowed one of Elvira's gowns and revealed her credits at a premiere last night.

With her Michelle Tanner hair clip, Hot Topic rocker belt, skater chick jeans and hipster Converse sneakers, Heidi looks more like she's about to get a ride home from the mall from her parents, than on her way to a meeting in NYC.

If only every teen could have an assistant walking paces behind them carrying their bags.

Who knew Ed Hardy had an orthopedic line?!

The 59-year-old acting powerhouse kept EVERYTHING under wraps as she made her way through Sydney on Monday.
