Or, then again, maybe not. After the NY Post reported that superstar designer Marc Jacobs exchanged vows Sunday with his lover Lorenzo Martone in a "civil solidarity pact," we see that celebrity gossip head Perez Hilton is saying it's not true. We don't really know what to believe at this point, except that we somehow tend to believe a gossip blogger over a printed publication. That's kinda newsworthy.

Although Marc and his boyfriend/husband are reportedly "very happy" together, it seems that Marc's way too busy planning for New York Fashion Week in September to set the record straight. Running his own line and acting as creative director for LV have apparently got him too tied up for a honeymoon.

If he did tie the knot, wouldn't he probably have made it known already? Unlike the weddings going on in California, France's civil solidarity pacts are not legally binding -- so maybe they're holding out for a stateside ceremony.

There's a zen koan that says if you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him.

Now I don't know anything about meeting Buddha, but I can say that if you meet a model on the road who says she loves to eat, don't believe her -- especially if she's ex-reality TV-star Brittny Gastineau.

The raven-haired Gastineau recently told Jay Leno's "Ross the Intern" that she stayed thin through anorexia.

Was she kidding? Well, if you trace Gastineau's incredible weight loss over the past year (I don't -- I honestly didn't know who she was until thirty minutes ago), you'd probably conclude that she was speaking the truth. But still, the confession seems awfully weird.

One thing is certain, admitting to an eating disorder is not a good way to jump start a modeling career, which her friends say is the motivation behind her shrinking frame. Even though most agents and designers would be chomping at the bit to get a 5'11 girl who weighs just 105 pounds, I doubt anyone is willing to touch her now that she's publicly admitted she's an anorexic. The fashion industry can't continue to exist as it is without putting forth the illusion that models its healthy and naturally thin. The fact is once a model says she's sick, the gig's up.

By now, I'm sure you've all heard the news: Rochas is no more and Olivier Theyskens is out a job, or at least he will be after this season.

Of course, there's been much melodramatic humming and hawing about how the end of Rochas marks the end of haute couture (presumably because Theyskens had an aversion to designing big money makers like shoes and handbags). But of course, before he is even technically out of work, Theyskens already rumored to have been tapped by another label.

According to the *highly-reliable* source that is PageSix, Theyskens is currently in talks with Nina Ricci. Having given ex-designer Lars Nilsson the boot, Nina Ricci has been in the market for a new mastermind for a while now.
