Rudy and Judith Giuliani

Kelly Ripa hosted this year's Super Saturday 8, which was held at Nova's Ark Project in Water Mill and presented by Donna Karan, and Charla Lawhon of InStyle magazine. The annual "Rolls Royce of garage sales" benefits the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF) and was created by Karan and Faith Kates Kogan in memory of the late OCRF President Liz Tilberis, former editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar, who succumbed to ovarian cancer in 1999.

Lorraine Bracco, James Lipton, and Lisa Gastineau were spotted at the daylong shopping bonanza (with carnival-like entertainment for kids), hunting for the best buys. Topnotch designers, who donated $2-mil worth of chic garments, shoes, and accessories, included: Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang, Kate Spade, Marc Jacobs, and Jean Paul Gaultier. Designer handbags originally selling for $1,200 went for a bargain-basement price of $300! Ripa, spotted nabbing a few first-rate goodies, stated, "It's the only time I don't feel I have to lie to my husband about how much I spent." Yeah, right!

In the shopping shuffle: Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Judith Giuliani, Kyle MacLachlan and Desiree Gruber, Star Jones Reynolds and Al Reynolds, Serena Altschul, Loraine and Peter Boyle, Andrew Tilberis (widower of Liz Tilberis), Kelly Klein, Christy Turlington Burns, and Aerin Lauder Zinterhofer, just to name a few. Shopping till dropping was never so fine….
