Vergara respects mom’s words

- DOUG CAMILLI

Sofia Vergara says she “almost had a heart attack” when her tight Zuhair Murad gown split at a stress point, revealing her thong, at Sunday’s Emmy Awards.

But on Katie Couric’s show the other day, the Modern Family bombshell spoke mainly about her bosom, which the new Allure mag cover proclaims to be size 32F. Apparently some men find this alluring.

Still, I’m pretty sure it was her acting ability that won her that recent raise, from $65,000 to $170,000 per episode of Modern Family.

Vergara told Katie that early in her career, her female publicist advised her to get bust-reduction surgery to look “more normal.”

But her mother said “‘God is going to punish you, you can’t chop your boobs out. It’s crazy. All the women are risking their life to get boobs.’ So I didn’t do it.”

She’s 40. Diamond polish: When Vergara burst her Emmy gown, poor Kelly Osbourne’s $8,000 manicure just couldn’t compete. But when a girl puts that kind of money onto her nails, she expects a little attention.

So Kelly is trying to make sure there’s a controvers­y, at least: On Wednesday, stylelite.com reports, Osbourne tweeted, somewhat incoherent­ly, that she regrets nothing:

“I see that my nail polish has offended some of you, however I see your point, but it was a once in a lifetime experience.” She was wearing Black Diamond, by Azature, containing diamond dust or something. It sells for $250,000 a bottle, see, and I’m told you get maybe 30 applicatio­ns, so that’s about $8,000 a time.

It’s not clear if Osbourne paid for this, or if it was a promotiona­l stunt. Who among us will be surprised to learn that there is also a much cheaper version available for Dull Normals? Mommy approves: Justin Bieber’s mom Pattie Mallette tells Us Weekly that she approves of the lad’s main squeeze Selena Gomez.

Those two have been dating for almost two years, and so far the breakup rumours, while numerous, have all been wrong.

Pattie tells the mag that “I love Selena. She’s a sweetheart. What you see is how she is. She’s good for him. They’re good together. They’re adorable.”

JB is 18, Selena is 20, Pattie is 36. Fifty Shades of Law & Order: SVU: Warren Leight, showrunner for the venerable cop show, told Entertainm­ent Weekly about this plot for one episode in the 14th season:

The author of a “wildly successful S&M romance novel” called 25 Acts gets assaulted by a TV host, see.

Our heroes invite her to press charges, but in the process they discover … all together now, gentle readers, you know how these things go … a dark secret from her past.
