The haps around town today ..

Vivica A. Fox outside the Bryant Park Fashion Week tents.

All Day: Celeb/fashionista gazing outside the big white Bryant Park Fashion Week tents. You need a pass to get inside, but no credential required for streetside ogling. We saw Vivica A. Fox earlier ... hopefully you'll see better.

10 p.m.: The Mr. and Miss Williamsburg Pageant - As we told you a few weeks ago, it took a malt-liquor shoplifter to come up with this one. If you care, head out to Billyburg and watch the neighborhood all-stars parade their version of chic down a contrived catwalk at Supreme Trading. Many meta-levels of irony here. It's making our heads spin. (213 N. 8th St. at Driggs Avenue, 718-599-4224; $10)

Cheetah Girl bringin' back the Bedazzler

sabrina140.jpg

We know you remember the Bedazzler of infomercial fame -- that magical fabric stapler that created sparkling bejeweled designs on your jean jackets, Esprit t-shirts and maybe even the canvas cover of your Trapper Keeper (who knew it had its own Web site?) with just a simple punch.

Now - Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan of "Dancing with the Stars" fame is helping bring back a revamped version for the pre-teen of today, Color Me Gemz from Fisher-Price.

The classic Bedazzler resembled a stapler, this new version is a set of pens that draws in gem stone tones -- we think it must be kind of like puffy paint.

If you just can't wait to re-dazzle your jeans, head to the Times Square Toys "R" where Sabrina will be doing a demo on how to "bling-up" your clothes and signing autographs.

And now: The original Bedazzler:
