So, Marc Jacobs hater/International Herald Tribune critic Suzy Menkes may have loooved Marc's show, but general MJ fangirl, the NY Times' Cathy Horyn, missed it altogether! Only to then check it out online and write, "[I] can see why some people found it a little slack." Only to then be responded to huffily, via the COMMENTS, on Marc by Marc himself, if you will: "Dear Cathy....I wish you could have been at my show...I deliberately stated I was uninspired this season as I have felt that talking about inspiration is so not the point to making and showing a collection." So yeah, any time you thought about dismissing the entire industry as one big neverending middle school...you were pretty much right. [WWD, 1st item]

Poor Giorgio Armani. A photo of him posing with one of the kids arrested in connection with the murder of a British student in Perugia last week is up on the arrested kid's Facebook page.

Why did Hayden Panettiere attend the Victoria's Secret Show? To see the Spice Girls, natch! And why did she want to see the Spice Girls? Because she's a cock-eyed optimist: "I just want to see all of them getting along." Don't hold your breath, hon. [FabSugar]
