Fashion Scoops: Marc His Words... Katz Predicts... The Cat's Meow...

SITTING THIS ONE OUT: Aisha Tyler is one actress who is happy to sit on the front-row sidelines of the fashion world. With a slew of projects, including upcoming movies "Death Sentence" and "Balls of Fury," on her plate, Tyler is squeezing in as many shows as she can in two days, including Y & Kei, Badgley Mischka and Malandrino. She's happy to limit the dabbling in the fashion world to that and, of course, "buying lots of clothes," said the actress, who wore a gold Malandrino dress to the designer's show Wednesday.

THE HILFIGERS: What were Alli and Tommy Hilfiger doing at the G-Star show Wednesday? "My dad invited my boyfriend and I, and we got to meet the designers [backstage]. My dad's friendly with the G-Star people," said Alli Hilfiger, who's dating singer Jason Rowe. Hilfiger said she loved the show, especially the moving runway. "It was physically stimulating," she said.

WE AREN'T IN MONTANA ANYMORE: Wearing a blue-and-white checkered dress along with the bag she designed with Heatherette and Puma, Lydia Hearst played Dorothy (to Amanda Lepore's Glenda the Good Witch) in Heatherette's "Wizard of Oz"-themed show. Kimora Lee Simmons came out at the end with Heatherette designers Richie Rich and Traver Rains, and Aubrey O'Day from Danity Kane also walked in the show — her fellow reality TV-born band members cheering her on from the front row, along with Cuba Gooding Jr., Kelly Roland, J.C. Chasez and Kimberly Stewart.

Hearst was excited for the Hearst-Puma-Heatherette collaboration bag to make its runway debut — about 10 times — Tuesday night. The bags, which came together in only two weeks, were fresh off the plane from Asia. A manager from the Puma factory in Hong Kong had flown over with 10 bags as soon as they were ready, because UPS would not have gotten the bags to the show in time, according to Puma. The other 90 bags (only 100 will be made in total) — which come in a pink color for day, a gold for night and black and red for late night — are still being made. Puma is only selling 30 in its Puma Black Stores and 15 each in Tokyo and in New York's Meatpacking District for upward of $500 each. Hearst will auction one on Friday for the Designers for Darfur Charity, for which she is co-chairwoman, and she is giving the other 60-plus to friends, including Heidi Klum, Kelly Ripa, America Ferrara, Michelle Trachtenberg and Venus Williams — fittingly, as it's a tennis bag.
