September 26, 2008 5:22 pm >> 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.
September 26, 2008 3:28 pm >> THE MODELIZER —Naomi Campbell, Domenico Dolce, and Stefano Gabbana are longtime friends — she sat front row at their Dolce & Gabbana show in Milan yesterday, where she debuted a new, shorter haircut.  But when it came time to celebrate Domenico's 50th birthday last night with the rest of the front-rowers, Naomi never showed up — she "was apparently having a bad hair day."

Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno Causes Mayhem at Milan Fashion Week
Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno Causes Mayhem at Milan Fashion Week September 26, 2008 12:28 pm >> 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.
September 26, 2008 12:04 pm >> THE MODELIZER —The rash of model falls in Milan continues — at Emilio Pucci yesterday, Angela Lindvall fell not once, but twice — something that has never before happened in her modelling career.  Karlie Kloss helped her up the first time she fell, but the same thing happened again during the finale, causing a domino effect among the procession.
Two Out, One Grand Slam September 26, 2008 11:18 am >> The third Fashion Week in for the Model.Live girls, and things start to get difficult — for Madeline Kragh and Austria Alcantara, at least.  Austria went to over 30 castings for Milan Fashion Week and got nothing, except a call from a casting director to her agency IMG saying that she wasn't looking her best.  Ouch.  Madeline had the same troubles — she wasn't cast for any shows, and at one point got frustrated enough to tell the cameramen to stop filming.  Both girls, defeated, move on to Paris early.  Cato van Ee, on the other hand, scores Prada for the second season in a row — and does a little impromptu song and dance when she finds out.  Will Paris be a whole new ball game, as the girls are promised?  Next week, we'll find out.

September 25, 2008 4:49 pm >> THE MODELIZER —Several models haven't shown up in Milan shows they normally walk in, but at least we have an explanation for one of them.  Catherine McNeil is this season's Sasha Pivovarova — her Sydney agent says that she is "unwell" and will miss Milan and most likely Paris, too.
