Designer Marc Jacobs recently released a new take on the rainbow flag: “rebel pride.” This startling development has everyone in the entire world wondering if the multi-hued symbol will come back in style. No one question has captivated so many people since “Who Shot JR?” (It was jilted lover - and sister-in-law - Kristin, by the way.) [The Shophound]

Marc Jacobs is the only gay designer famous and self-indulgent enough to have a Facebook profile. Michael Bastian, John Bartlett and Thom Browne all deny having one, with the latter remarking, “I have no interest in people knowing my personal life.” Yes, but what about our wants?! [Observer]

The CFDA Fashion Awards, held last night at the New York Public Library, honored excellence in fashion design but also served as a venue for Victoria Beckham to crash as many photo opportunities as possible.

How many Poshes can you find?

And, from what the gossip-mongers are saying, the men are just as catty as ever: Jacobs is back in the arms of his ex, Jason Preston. They were at Pastis Saturday, looking “very much together, laughing and kissing,” said our spy. They were overheard saying they’d missed one another during their separation and dissed Marc’s ex, Austin A., saying he “is a drunk loser with a hideous body.” Jacobs, of course, takes pride in his reformed looks.

Oh no! Could Marc Jacobs be back to his drug-addled ways? That’s what gossip-mongers are saying about the designer, who had quite a heroin habit back in the day: “He spends most of his time partying until morning in Paris,” a friend said. “It’s out of control. There’s always a different boy and everyone is worried he’s going to pull a Halston” - referring to the legendary designer whose work suffered due to drinking and drugs. Halston died of AIDS in 1990… But his personal troubles don’t seem to be affecting him professionally.

Brooklyn brings out the best in Anna Wintour. We’ve never seen the Vogue editrix look as happy as she did with Marc Jacobs at the Brooklyn Museum’s launch of their Murakami retrospective. We can’t help but wonder what Wintour’s doing with her other hand. Something perverted, probably.

Meanwhile, Kanye West looks none-too-pleased to be shot with Kristen Davis, while Jacobs got snap happy with the artist himself, Takashi Murakami. We guess pretense goes out the window when you cross the East River.

While we’re on the subject of gays in tabloids, two familiar bold-faced names caught our attention this morning. Page Six reports that designer Marc Jacobs and reformed rent boyfriend Jason Preston have been having some drama: The dueling duo had yet another fight on a trip they took together to Turks and Caicos a week ago. “They fought nonstop screaming matches.

Reformed rent boy Jason Preston took a pummeling Sunday night. Page Six reports that designer Marc Jacobs’ beau attempted to break up a fight, but ended up finding himself on the receiving end of some well-placed blows: A spy outside the West 16th Street club at 4 a.m. on Monday told us, “A guy threw his drink at another guy and hit an innocent girl in the chest instead, soaking her and making her cry.” That’s when Preston told the jerk to apologize and, “in a split second the guy punched Jason in the face.”

The fight continued outside, where the club-goer “pulled Jason in the street and started punching him all over.” … Continued…
