Six-pack flabs — the next big thing for celebs�

Jessica Alba

Veronique Munro custom spray-tans celebrities by hand, so she has seen Jessica Alba naked, and Paris Hilton, Alyssa Milano, Paula Abdul and various Playboy Playmates. Which ones look best and worst in the buff?

Munro won't answer touchy questions, because she's the tight-lipped CEO of Infinity Sun. Unlike a lot of people who run in celebrity circles, she refuses to dish beyond naming clients when I ask.

Late Tuesday night, Munro showed me the sort of spray-tan system she uses on stars, while we mingled at a champagne-and-fake-boobs opening party for Palms Place's new LA Sunset Tan, the franchise featured on the E! "reality" show of the same name.

The salon offers tanning beds in a sleek atmosphere, but at the end of a narrow corridor, behind a milky glass door, you can stand in this Infinity Sun "Star Trek"-looking, "beam-me-up" alcove. And a Vegas-attractive attendant points a hair dryer-styled gun at your face, chest, butt and you-get-the-drift to issue tanning juice all over your hopefully hot bod. This costs $75.

Feeling adventurous? You can request the tan to be illustrated onto you in a way that makes you appear as if you have six-pack abs, even if you're flabby. Six-pack flabs -- the next big thing?

It's not a stretch to assume Jessica Simpson will be standing naked on this tanning spot, since she owns a condo in the Palms.

Then again, Jessica could just call for the salon's soon-to-be-offered, in-room experience, where for $100, a spray-tanner would go to her room with a portable sprayer and color her roots of pigment.

I tried to get Munro into admit nude-spraying is a sensual experience, but she swears it's not, neither for the unclothed, since it's slightly chilly and they're getting hit by wet product, nor for her.

"Once you've spray-tanned people, you don't even notice their naked body. It becomes like if you're a doctor, and you say, ‘OK, take your pants off,'" Munro says.

"I don't believe you," I say.

"No! It's true!" she insists.

Naturally, it's not news that bronzers and shimmer lotions exist, or that celebrities get fake tans. But celebrities aren't going to drive down the street to just any tanning salon. Stars flock together, like beautiful birds, or if you prefer, like lemmings off a cliff, and this will be one of their flocking/lemming-diving tanning locales in Vegas.

Munro, a former nerd who used to be a software engineer, now stands in tall black boots and an impeccable black suit, during a night away from her Rodeo Drive offices, and contends stars get serviced better with her product because the fake tan lasts longer, and it's the only computerized system that offers custom hues at the touch of a button, while using all natural ingredients, antioxidants and skin firming agents.

By the way, women can get totally naked for the female sprayers at LA Sunset Tan, but men must leave on something resembling undies. A different insider at Tuesday's party exercised verbal gymnastics to explain to me that otherwise, some men might try to be naughty boys in there.

"Ohhh, right," I said. "Men are gross."

"Yeah," the insider said. "Men are gross."
