Owner of new store is on a mission

"Queer Eye" guy Carson Kressley has dubbed Susan Nethero the "bra whisperer." Oprah Winfrey has had Nethero on her show twice. But the Atlanta-based intimate apparel expert says she's really just an educator. "Studies have shown that 85 percent of women are wearing the wrong size bra," Nethero told us yesterday. The undergarment expert has a loyal following; a group was waiting yesterday for the doors to open at Intimacy, Nethero's new Copley Place store, which carries 90 sizes from makers including Lise Charmel and La Perla. (Nethero took a size 46 KK for her appearance on Matt Siegel's KISS 108 morning radio show yesterday.) "It's a personal thing, sure," Nethero said. "But a bra really is one of the most technical products a woman buys."

Nine months after Brad Delp's death, wrangling over the Boston singer's estate continues. Delp's fiancee, Pamela Sullivan, is still living in the house the couple shared, but it's unclear for how much longer. We're told Sullivan would like to stay, but she's so far been unable to reach an agreement with Patricia Komor, Delp's long-ago girlfriend who got the house in Atkinson, N.H., when the singer died. Neither side is talking, but word is Komor, who's married and living in Colorado, is planning to sell the house when the real-estate market improves. Until then, Sullivan could continue as a tenant, paying rent to Komor. Delp was 55 when he committed suicide last March by carbon monoxide poisoning. To the surprise of almost everyone, the "More Than a Feeling" singer left the house in New Hampshire and all of its contents to Komor even though he'd proposed to Sullivan last Christmas. Delp and Komor were together for six years after his separation from his wife Micki in '91. The Boston frontman also helped put Komor through law school, a fact that hasn't been forgotten by Delp's two grown children, Jennifer and Michael, who, we're told, may ask Komor to repay the loan if she insists on giving Sullivan the boot.

Film and TV composer Christopher Lennertz has found himself in an unusual position: He has two movies in the top 10. The 35-year-old Methuen native did the music for "Alvin & the Chipmunks" and the holiday romance "The Perfect Christmas," starring Queen Latifah and Terrence Howard. ". . . I had box office numbers on Sunday morning and we thought ['Alvin'] might do $20 million, but it was more than twice that." This isn't the composer's first brush with fame. Lennertz earned an Emmy nomination for his work on the Fox show "Supernatural" and composed for "The Simpsons" video game. While he insists he enjoys composing for all kinds of media, he does admit he's especially fond of Theodore, the chipmunk. "Maybe it's everything that's going on in my life," said Lennertz, whose wife, Shannon, is expecting their first child. "He has a scene where he's scared . . . and I just fell for him."

Bridget Moynahan has managed to keep a low profile since giving birth to Tom Brady's pigskin progeny, but the actress was out and about in LA over the weekend, strolling in Pacific Palisades with her mom, Mary, and 4-month-old son, John Edward Thomas Moynahan. The paparazzi pics are the first of the baby in quite a while.

Even as the temperature outside plunges, Peter Simon's feeling irie inside. That's because the celebrity shutterbug has a new book, and it's all about reggae. Called "The Reggae Scrapbook," the coffee-table tome includes photos of many of the Jamaican giants, including Bob Marley and many family members, Jimmy Cliff, Peter Tosh, "Toots" Hibbert, and Burning Spear, as well as reproductions of concert tickets, posters, postcards, and lyric sheets. "There's ganja, too," said Carly Simon's kid brother, who lives on Martha's Vineyard. "Actually, we couldn't put pot in the book, but there are some nice pictures of it." A former contributor to Rolling Stone magazine, Simon collaborated on the book with reggae archivist Roger Steffens and traveled to the tiny island with his 21-year-old son, Willie. "The people were so respectful and welcoming," he said. What's next for Simon? "Maybe a book about nude beaches," he said. "I've been photographing nude beaches for a long time."
