Dan Abrams always surrounds himself with beautiful women

While Hamptons walking-around pal Dave Zinczenko slept his way through half of the media and Hollywood C-list, former MSNBC show host (and current legal affairs correspondent something) Dan Abrams has been picking up the high profile slack.

Having been tied to actress Elisabeth Rohm in the past (they were engaged for a spat), the ex-Verdict host is now, according to Page Six, palling around with Elle Macpherson, the onetime supermodel who photo evidence ties to Abrams since at least the summer.

Aw, and it was only last month that Macpherson was linked to a one Brian Burgess — the convicted drug trafficker. Looks like Anne Hathaway Syndrome is infectious.

Uh oh! Will.I.am, he of crap.py quartet the Black Eyed Peas, got a big head in light of the success of his "Yes We Can" video. Prepare to be positive video-ed to death.

On Thursday in New York City, Will, his band mate apl.de.ap, musician Angelique Kidjo, actress Kristin Davis and model Elle Macpherson all helped launch a "new" campaign to halve global poverty by 2015. Neat, if not really new.

In fact, this campaign is an initiative to help revitalize a plan originally put into motion eight years ago by the United Nations. Many of the countries the UN had hoped would be well on their way to destroying poverty by now are nowhere near achieving their goals. Clearly, this is a job for apl.de.ap.

When we first heard this we were like "Oh my God! How is this possible?!" You know how Heidi Klum has decided to take on the name "The Body?" Because, y'know, she's got a really freakin' good one? Well, this is not sitting very well with the first "Body" Elle Macphereson.

According to her publicist, Macpherson was branded that name in 1986 (Lloyd Grove was like 30, so he remembers that). She also has a lot of press referring to her as "The Body," including major magazines. And she has a skin care line called "Elle Macpherson The Body," along with a fitness video titled "The Body Workout."

Everything from Harper's Bazaar to Vogue to the recent Sports Illustrated calls her that. In terms of public record, that name belongs to Elle."

… Klum — who was once called "The Body Two," in deference to Elle — is a relative Heidi-come-lately, and didn't hit the United States until the late 1990s. Both Klum and Macpherson have been favorites of the Sports Illustrated annual swimsuit issue, and both appeared in the mag's latest.

Snap. Don't you hate when the stupid foreign girl becomes more famous that you and can do whatever she wants without anyone but Lloyd Grove noticing? Oh my god, it's the worst.

Elle's shock over 'Body' double Klum [Lloyd Grove, Lowdown]

• Ya gotta give credit to those wacky "Gate" keepers, Christo & Jeanne-Claude. They're recycling the orange pipe frames holding up the shower curtains (err, we mean art) as white fence posts.

• Nightlife-cum-restaurateur Amy Sacco agreed to be civil with Gawker's Jessica Coen at their BlackBook fashion shoot, but that doesn't mean she prefers the gossip blog to the "99 percent of the time" accurate Page Six.

• The bad news: NYU is losing fashion challenged Mary-Kate Olsen as a coed. The good news: Amanda Bynes has signed on to keep the tween quota afloat. And Mark Graham needs a moment to himself.

• With two TV shows, Tyra Banks doesn't have time (or youth) for the runway. Her Nov. 9 Victoria's Secret show is expected to be her last, while Heidi Klum will make her catwalk return since ducking out to give birth.

• Elle Macpherson has her lawyers scrambling to get her out of her Blackglama contract, now that PETA has shown her how she really gets her mink coats.

• Kate Moss Watch™: If the supermodel goes to jail, she may have a familiar pen pal in ex-boyfriend Pete Doherty. Police detained the druggie rocker during a raid at his U.K. concert.

• Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston rang in their official divorce (as of yesterday) by unloading their Beverly Hills pad, collecting a whopping $28 million for their $13.5 million payment back in 2001.

• O.J. Simpson might be free, but the man's broke. The acquitted ex-football star rang in the 10th anniversary of his trial's ending by charging $95 per John Hancock at a – gasp! – horror convention.
