‘Who are you wearing? How much did they pay?’

Why am I not surprised that stars often get paid to wear those elaborate designer fashions?

Last year we learned that Rihanna, Beyoncé et al. sometimes are paid as much as $75,000 a time to attend highend fashion shows.

Now Fashionista.com quotes stylist Jessica Paster, who dresses Emily Blunt and Miranda Kerr, about “ambassadorships” — the way stars get paid to wear designer gowns on all those red carpets.

Paster said she personally has been paid up to US$50,000 when her client chooses the right dress. The star may get $100,000 or even $250,000, she said. “If it looks gorgeous and this is the dress you were going to pick anyway, why not get paid?”

Lady Gaga’s sometime stylist Brandon Maxwell summed it up this way: “It’s all wrapped up in money. It’s Hollywood, we’re not at church!”

Spotlight couple: True Blood star Alexander Skarsgard’s latest is Alexa Chung, a British model and TV “presenter,” as they say over there. They were spotted in the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens the other day. He’s 38. She’s 31.

Eh-oh! You’ll be just as excited as I am to learn that the Teletubbies are coming back. Maybe now we’ll learn whether or not they’re gay.

Of course you remember the Teletubbies; don’t pretend otherwise. They were ubiquitous between 1997 and 2001. Nobody could avoid Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po.

So it’s big news that the BBC is reviving them. Instead of TV screens in their tummies, the boys (or whatever) now have “21st century touch screen tummies.” Producers say the Tubs have been “subtly updated to cater for today’s preschoolers” but retain their “lovable, huggable distinctive features.”

The new series debuts in the U.K. this year. The original ran in more than 100 countries.

Through his publicist, Chris Brown has denied an Us magazine story about how he smoked dope on a private jet and blew smoke in the face of a flight attendant. “This story is false,” his PR person told the N.Y. Daily News.

Us says it stands by the story, although it lacks a date for the incident, and doesn’t identify departure or arrival cities.

Brown was “smoking a ton of pot … blew smoke at a flight attendant and said, ‘I paid $60,000 for this jet, so I own it and everyone inside,’” according to the mag’s source.

Then he allegedly insulted another stewardess, saying, “What is your old (donkey) doing here anyway? I like to have the help be people I’d actually like to (bad word).”

Life in Absurdistan: City councillors in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, are asking how thousands of marijuana plants got installed in a city-centre flower bed.

The stuff is illegal in Kazakhstan, and officials keep trying to stamp out rural plantations of it.

The Independent reports that officials from the local branch of the multinational landscaping service Zelenstroy will have some hard questions to answer.
