MANHATTAN SUPREME COURT — A Manhattan socialite and former high fashion publicist pleaded guilty Thursday to hacking into the voicemail inboxes of two women.

Former Dolce and Gabbana spokesperson Allison Wise, 32, was promised a sentence of 300 hours community service, 70 of which will be done in New York with the remainder will be assigned in Los Angeles.

Wise, adorned in a tan trench coat and black leggings at her court appearance, admitted to using "Spoofcard" software to spy on two victims — one of whom reportedly dated her ex-boyfriend, Josh Deutsch — through their personal computers.

She also wiretapped their phone calls and hacked into voicemail accounts 337 times, prosecutors said.

The blond fashionista who has been photographed with Molly Sims, Kate Hudson and Lindsay Lohan and has frequented high profile parties, allegedly made 54 phone calls in early 2008 through "Spoofcard."

The system allowed her to bypass security features on Nina Freudenberger's mobile phone account, according to court documents.

"I used the Spoofcard to get into Nina's voicemails," Wise told investigators.

She pleaded guilty to felony eavesdropping and computer trespass charges, each punishable by up to four years in prison.

If she completes the community service and is trouble-free for two years, she'll receive a conditional discharge.

Wise is scheduled to reappear in court on Sept. 15 for a status update.
