BOLD BASH

If not many people are talking about the party thrown by Alexander Wang, it’s because only about 100 guests were admitted to the tightly guarded bash for the designer’s SoHo store, opening today. The lavish Tuesday night fete saw party guests gazing at models while swinging in a $15,000 fox-fur hammock, while waiters served an estimated $10,000 worth of French macaroons. Not everyone had such a blast, though. VIPs from the event’s sponsor, Belvedere Vodka, were not put on the guest list, and reps from Veuve Clicquot, who provided the champagne, were also denied admission. Gatekeepers spent the day memorizing the names of those on the short list — and were told there would be no exceptions, even for big celebrities. Just after 11:30 p.m., Lauryn Hill emerged to perform an hourlong set.

GO WEST, YOUNG MAN

Kanye West checked out the Mondrian Soho, where the VMan magazine party was raging Tuesday. Organizers hoped West, who was photographed by Karl Lagerfeld for this month’s cover, might sing. Instead, he and his crew brought in copious amounts of takeout chicken wings, while fashionistas chased dollar bills fired from cannons. Later, West headed downstairs to meet again with Alexander Wang — who he’d just seen at the Grand Street soiree. The two hung out at Armin Amiri’s subterranean lounge, Mister H. At night’s end, a very inebriated young lady fell to the floor while attempting to rush out the door with a 6-foot-tall Kanye cutout. Security guards helped her to her feet, only to see her try to snag the souvenir again. Comparing this bash to the nearby Wang fete, one partygoer noted, “This crowd is three times as big and 10 times as drunk.”

E-Z SQUEEZE

Real Housewife of NYC Jill Zarin has launched a brand of body-shaping undergarments called Skweez Couture — sausage-wrap-inspired bodysuits that flatten one’s stomach and rear. “I’m a hosiery expert. I’ve been in the business for 20 years. I’ve been a buyer — I was a fashion sales manager for Jockey — so I’m not just a celebrity,” the reality-TV “celebrity” told us at Meatpacking District club RDV. According to Zarin, who has an 18-year-old daughter, it’s never too early for a girl to address her body issues. “I think girls could wear it to the prom!” she exclaimed. “You know, designers make these very thin silk fabrics, and these young girls have dimples on their tushies, you know what? They need it! It doesn’t mean they’re fat. It’s not about being fat. They just need to be smoothed out.”

OCTOGENARIANS AT THE GATE

Security at Lincoln Center has endured all types of people claiming to be “on the list.” One guard tells us most of his headaches come not from fashionistas, but from the opera crowd. “As soon as the opera finishes, people come over here wanting to go in — they think that Lincoln Center is ‘their place,’ so they can just walk in!” he said.

REGIS FILL-IN

We caught up with “The View” co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck at the Milly show and asked who she thought should replace fellow ABC morning-show host Regis Philbin, who announced his retirement a month ago. “Either [‘Survivor’ host] Jeff Probst or Ashton Kutcher,” proposed the most conservative panelist on “The View.” So who is Hasselbeck’s best friend on “The View” now? “That’s a tough one,” she answered. “We have such unique relationships. That’s kind of a trick question.”

And that’s a pretty tricky answer.
