Rachel Zoe, stylist to celebs like Anne Hathaway and Cameron Diaz and star of Bravo's The Rachel Zoe Project, set up camp at the Thompson LES Hotel in New York for Fashion Week.

But the super-skinny stylista didn't have time to swim in the Andy Warhol-bottomed pool. Team Zoe was too busy averting fashion disasters like nip slips and ugly taffeta trains in the Thompson Loft, the penthouse suite on the 18th and 19th floors of the hotel. "This is kind of awesome," Zoe said as she looked around the duplex. She and her hubby, Rodger, admired the exposed concrete ceilings and columns.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/antoniosabatajr.jpg" class="top"> Yeah, were kinda embarrassed that we think former Calvin Klein manty model Antonio Sabato Jr. is still kinda hot. Maybe its his chiseled cheek bones, perfectly tanned skin, and taut, muscular abs, but we will never ever hold his appearance on Ally McBeal against him. Sigh. The commitment-phobic Italian actor has jumped from daytime to prime time soap operas (and back again), and most recently, playing his hunk-alicious self on Ugly Betty. He managed to wed Alicia Tully Jensen for one whole year, knock up both Virginia Madsen and Kristin Rossetto, and has been linked to Nicolette Scorsese, Vanessa Marcil and Rachael Cook. Now, at ye old mature age of 36, Sabato, Jr. seems to think
