>> Sacha Baron Cohen's successful stint as Bruno at Stella McCartney yesterday must have emboldened him, because now he's all over the map. Last night, he was filming at the Givenchy party, and today, he tried to get into Vanessa Bruno wearing a sailor suit and throwing an anchor, but was refused entry.

He was able to get into Jean Charles de Castelbajac, though, and antics ensued: "He whipped out a fold out chair, placed it in front of the front rowers and started writing love letters to girls in the audience. Then he jumped on stage shouting into his mobile phone and walked down the catwalk with the last model."

>> After storming Milan Fashion Week, Sacha Baron Cohen's alter ego Bruno is back for another round - this time in Paris. From his perch second row at Stella McCartney this morning, a sleeveless leather vest-sporting Bruno sat smoothing his hair during the show, showing "wild approval for some looks, disdain for others." And then the fun began.

Apparently, he leaned forward, a red thong clearly visible above his jeans, and pushed those sitting front row in front of him aside so he could get a better look at the models. Clapping along to the music, he pulled a tampon out of his vest and sucked on it, continuing the act until Stella McCartney came out for her bow, when he moved his hand to indicated he deemed the show okay, but not great.

So did Stella invite Bruno? He did have a seat, after all. WWD thinks so and Stella's response to act indicated that she might have - when asked if she knew about it, she broke out into a broad grin. "Bruno?" she exclaimed. "I had no idea!" And then she laughed.

>> INSIDER WIRE -Sacha Baron Cohen hit the Agatha Ruiz de la Prada runway this morning as "Bruno" in a goofy outfit, but at Versace last night, it was a different story. Decked out in head to toe Alexander McQueen, he could have definitely passed for a fashion figure - but the security at Versace wasn't convinced. Instead, he was left "frantically making phone calls and crying into his mobile phone trying to get into the show." Now everybody's wondering: Will he show up again in Paris? [Go Backstage]

>> Bruno is in Milan - that's Sacha Baron Cohen's gay Austrian fashion show presenter alter-ego - and he's filming for his upcoming movie at Fashion Week. It all started Wednesday, backstage at Iceberg, where he threw himself on the floor, dragged down a rack of clothes that stuck to his Velcro-trimmed outfit, and appeared to tear off his clothes until security removed him.

Yesterday morning, he tried to hit up Dsquared, but was blocked by security, and yesterday evening he tried to crash Versace, dressed all in McQueen, but was denied again - the Italian Chamber of Fashion has sent out a press release to designers, warning them not to accredit Cohen's film production companies, after all.

Unfortunately, Agatha Ruiz de la Prada didn't get the memo . . . »
