Dan Gross | Bam & Missy at Loews?

WE HOPE THE Loews Hotel (12th & Market) is very well-insured. Don't be surprised if the Center City hotel hosts the Feb. 3 wedding of "Jackass" star Bam Margera and Missy Rothstein.

WE HOPE THE Loews Hotel (12th & Market) is very well-insured.

Don't be surprised if the Center City hotel hosts the Feb. 3 wedding of "Jackass" star Bam Margera and Missy Rothstein.

The prankster from Pocopson Township, Chester County, and his betrothed are the stars of a new MTV show, "Bam's Unholy Union," which premieres Tuesday. MTV will also be shooting the wedding, where Iggy and the Stooges and the Sounds will perform, and where we're told guests will include Johnny Knoxville, Bam's "Jackass" cronies and a host of other celebrities.

Neither Bam's personal publicist nor an MTV spokeswoman returned our e-mails about the wedding location. A Loews executive also did not return our calls.

We reported exclusively last February that Margera, 27, and Rothstein, 26, became engaged after dating for about a year. Rothstein appeared in his film "Haggard." They've known each other since sixth grade.

Starr spot robbed at gunpoint

Stephen Starr says that surveillance videos from the Continental (138 Market St.) have been turned over to police after the popular nightspot was held up last week.

Two armed men wearing ski masks snuck into a side entrance of the Continental about 2 a.m. on Jan. 18. They threatened employees at gunpoint and made off with $10,000, an investigator with Central Detectives told the Daily News' Christine Olley.

Reached yesterday, Starr was hesitant to discuss the incident, but praised police for "doing a terrific job trying to catch these guys and doing a great job in cleaning up Old City."

Freeze heading for Chicago

NBC-10 meteorologist Amy Freeze will soon leave the station for a job in the Windy City, sources say. Freeze, who's worked here for four years, said yesterday that "nothing's official yet," declining further comment. She may still be in town now and then to finish her master's degree in environmental science from Penn.

Phillies bring cake

fit for a King

Phillies Ryan Howard, Jimmy Rollins, Aaron Rowand and Cole Hamels visited Sixers president Billy King in his Wachovia Center suite during Tuesday's game to deliver King a carrot cake and a chocolate cake from the Palm for King's 41st birthday.

SLDesign does

Sundance

Chris Sheffield of the local SLDesign just got back from the Sundance Film Festival, where he worked on the Powder Room, the festival's VIP nightspot/gifting lounge, which played host to Diddy, Sienna Miller, Teri Hatcher, Josh Hartnett, Jared Leto and Justin Timberlake, among others.

SLDesign has designed a number of popular restaurants and clubs in New York and is now working on renovating the Curtis Center on Washington Square. Sheffield, a 1991 Penn grad, started the company two years ago with veteran New York nightclub impresario Steve Lewis.

No pain, no gain, says Nina

Pint-size PR pro Nina Zucker is a little too tall for kid's crutches, and a little too short for adult crutches. She learned this the hard way Saturday, after breaking her foot in a fall outside a store where she picked up supplies for Monday's launch party for Mainline magazine at Susanna Foo's Gourmet Kitchen (555 E. Lancaster Ave.) in Radnor.

With the assistance of a walker, the 5-foot Zucker braved the pain to attend the party. Among the hundreds at the bash was Wally Kennedy. It didn't take the former 6ABC host, now with KYW NewsRadio, too long to recognize the model on the Denise Fink Designs postcards included in the gift bags. It was his daughter Erin, 26, a Temple student and part-time model, who posed for the artist a few years ago. *
