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." Preston told us, "I thought I was doing the right thing. I felt someone should stand up for her…It was a horrible night, but I'm fine."

Thanks Jesus! We were worried there'd have to be Shiva sitting, or something.

Marc Jacobs' on again, off again relationship with Jason Preston may be off again. Page Six reports that the designer has replaced the former rent boy with porn star Erik Rhodes. Jacobs sure does know how to pick 'em!

Jacobs has been quietly seeing adult film actor Erik Rhodes and whisking him away to secret locations…

The new fling is likely the reason things have cooled again between Jacobs and former male escort Jason Preston, whom he's dated on and off since 2005. Sources said Jacobs' affair with Rhodes — who describes himself as "Addictive. Wild. Open" on his ManNet.com profile — began last year when the designer invited Rhodes to join him and Preston for a three-way. Jacobs allegedly continued the fling with Rhodes one on one after that. "Jason thought he and Marc were exclusive again," said our insider. "But Marc is sleeping with this porn star behind his back, and sneaking him to Paris for hot sex."

If only our gay drama were as glamorous!

Marc Jacobs and his pals got down Arabian Nights style at the designer's Christmas party last night.

A reader recently requested that we never again mention Marc Jacobs.

While we love all of you dearly and take all your concerns into consideration, we simply can't pass up mentioning the NY Times' long-winded write-up of the famed fashion designer. And, of course, we know Jacobs loves it.

Jacobs tells journo Eric Wilson:

In the most basic way I can say it. coming from a psychological place, what I love more than anything is attention. That is about as honest of a statement that I could possibly make. I want a reaction, because I want the attention.

No wonder he and boyfriend Jason Preston get on so well…

The Out 100's proving to be the event that wouldn't end: kind of like 9/11, only fun.

Finally! We've been absolutely itching for a bit of gay blind item madness! Thankfully, Ben Widdicombe satisfies our urges with this:

Which high-fashion designer uses a wingman to lure young gents back to his NYC apartment with the instructions to get them drunk enough to seduce and then disappear?

Hmm, we doubt it's Marc Jacobs and Zac Posen's far too handsome to need a wing man. There's a certain designer who lives in The Archive building, but we think he may have a boyfriend. If it is him, well, we're underwhelmed.

Marc Jacobs ain't having rumors he had drinks before his show this week.

The famously sober designer's show started two-hours late, leading some to wonder if he's fallen off the wagon. Gossip mongers placed him at New York's tony Mercer Hotel, where they say he hit it hard. Jacobs, however, insists he's as clean as a whistle and gives a big 'fuck you' to anyone who says otherwise:

That is bullshit! That is bullshit! was at the fucking office until the last fitting was over. I came back to the hotel — I hadn't been here in three days! I hadn't showered in three days! I slept on the couch in my office for 20 minutes three nights in a row — anyone at my office will tell you that. I got 20 minutes sleep Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday night. The first shower I had was Monday at 8 before the rehearsal of our show. I did not have lunch, I did not have drinks, I did not have tea at the Mercer, I walked through the lobby; I live in this hotel… I took 20 minutes to shower and shave — I stank like a raccoon! I could not go to the show like that.

44-year old Jacobs is reportedly so incensed he's threatening to move his show to Paris. No, Marc, don't go!

Jason Preston isn't the only man in Marc Jacobs' life. The gay designer would never have reached such great heights had it not been for business partner Robert Duffy.
