Bruce Willis and his “doubles”

HARPER’S Bazaar’s latest personnel move is good publicity, but is it legal? The Daily reported that Bruce Willis’ daughter, Tallulah, recently started interning at the magazine and has even attending market appointments with the fashion team. But according to the US Deptartment of Labor, Willis’ age — she’s 15 — and the fact that she’s unpaid and not receiving school credit, means the magazine is technically in violation of federal labor law. A Harper’s rep told us, “Tallulah is a guest of Harper’s Bazaar, shadowing our editors for a couple of weeks.”

Authorities say a fire has destroyed the main lodge at a small ski operation co-owned by Bruce Willis.

Camas County Chief Deputy Brian Miller says the Soldier Mountain Ski Resort lodge and an adjacent ski rental building were destroyed in the Monday morning blaze. No one was injured.

Willis has been working with forest officials on a new master development plan for the south-central Idaho resort, with runs in the mountains of the Sawtooth National Forest. The “Die Hard” actor has a home in nearby Hailey.

The resort closed for the season last week.

BRUCE Willis, 54, and his new wife, Emma Heming, 30, didn’t meet through friends, as his pals have insisted in fact, the superstar actor hand-picked her as a perfect stranger.

An impeccable source tells Page Six: “During the casting of ‘Perfect Stranger’ [the suspense movie Willis made with Halle Berry two years ago], Bruce was very involved with the casting. In fact, you could say he was extremely involved no matter how minor the role.”

At Willis’ request, calls were placed to modeling agencies to fill the roles of extras and minor speaking parts.

Our casting source said, “He personally went through head shots and when the girls were called in to ‘read,’ he was there in the meeting. It was odd for the star of a movie to do so, but at the time he was single and I guess he needed a date.”

The casting sessions/blind dates went well enough. “He started dating [model] Tamara Feldman, with whom he coincidentally enough had a sex scene,” our insider said.

Then, Heming was selected for a small speaking part. Willis “started dating both Tamara and Emma but obviously, Emma eventually won out,” the source said.

All’s well that ends well. Willis and Heming who has dated numerous Hollywood types, including John Stamos and Brent Bolthouse, plus Italian playboy Flavio Briatore got married last weekend at his home in Parrot Cay in Turks and Caicos. Madonna, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher and Willis’ three daughters attended.

Heming, a British citizen who was born in Malta, has modeled for Victoria’s Secret and landed on Maxim magazine’s Top 100 hottest babes list in 2005 at No. 86.

A rep for Willis declined to comment.

Bruce Willis wed his girlfriend, model Emma Heming, Saturday at his home on Parrot Cay, on the Turks and Caicos islands in the Caribbean, his rep said.

His rep tells Us Willis’ daughters, Rumor, 20, Scout, 17, and Tallulah Belle, 14, and their mother, Willis’ ex Demi Moore, were present, as was Moore’s current husband, Ashton Kutcher. A source tells Us that Madonna was also among the guests.

“The couple will be having a civil ceremony when they return to California,” Willis’ rep tells Us.

This is the second marriage for Willis, 54, and the first marriage for Heming, 30.

Rumors of a wedding surfaced earlier this week: Rooms and private villas had been reserved for his guests at a hotel near his home there.

Willis and Heming have been dating since last year.

Willis was previously married to Moore. They split in 2000 after 13 years of marriage but have remained friends. He even has referred to Moore and Kutcher as his “extended family.”

“A lot of people have a hard time letting go of the things that can end a relationship, but we’ve managed to put the kids first,” Willis told Ryan Seacrest in 2007. “Here’s the trick: Try not to take your time on earth for granted. … Death waits for us all. The only answer is to get out there and live each day.”

Actor Bruce Willis and his production company are being sued in Los Angeles for $4 million for breach of contract.

The lawsuit filed Friday alleges Willis Brother Films agreed on a contract with three companies to produce the feature film “Three Stories About Joan,” which Willis was to star in and direct.

The lawsuit alleges that on Sept. 29 Willis quit as director without notice in violation of the agreement.

Phone calls to Willis’ publicist and attorney were not immediately returned.

Henry Gradstein, attorney for the companies suing Willis, says the courts will resolve the matter. He had no further comment.

The plaintiffs include Foresight Unlimited, Signature Entertainment Group and Three Stories Productions.

A Malaysian technology conglomerate has repaid $900,000 to Bruce Willis after the actor filed a lawsuit demanding a refund of his investment.

Martin Singer, Willis’ lawyer, says the federal lawsuit filed in Los Angeles has been “amicably resolved.”

The Kuala Lumpur-based Petra Group said Willis invested $2 million last year in its subsidiary, Green Rubber, a developer of technology that can recycle rubber in old tires.

Petra returned $1.1 million to the star of the “Die Hard” action films earlier this year when he decided to pull out his investment. Willis sued last week to get the remaining $900,000, plus interest and other compensation.

Singer says the initial investment has been repaid, but Willis was not given all the interest owed him. The actor remains a shareholder in the company.

BRUCE Willis could be distancing himself from his reputation as a shot-and-a-beer guy. The Post’s Braden Keil reports the action star is a partner in the Bowery Wine Co., which opens to the public this weekend at 13 E. First St. “It’s upscale and loungy,” says owner Chris Sileo, formerly beverage director at The Plaza. “We’ll have high-end, light fare that will include paninis, salads and desserts.” Willis and his pals, “Sopranos” regulars Vincent Curatola and John Ventimiglia, already christened the place at a private party last week, where the “Die Hard” star took his place behind the bar.
