The Marc by Marc Jacobs accessories store on Bleecker Street in the West Village is always a nasty mess of horrible tourists waiting in line. Well, one local resident is imploring her neighbors to fight back.

New York Senator Chuck Schumer introduced a bill today that would require apparel companies to wait three years before copying the designs of high-end fashion labels. Forever 21 will soon be called Forever 24.

Professional homosexual and scuttled cosmonaut Lance Bass is apparently digging through Marc Jacobs' compost heap. The NSYNCer has been seen canoodling with the fashion designer's ex, Lorenzo Martone, at various fashion events and trendy restaurants. Somewhere, Joey Fatone broods jealously.

Lorenzo Martone just confirmed via Twitter a rumor we've been hearing for weeks: He and Marc Jacobs are no longer a couple. Guess that ends the speculation about whether they're married or not. But, why, boys? Why?

We were far too busy watching the season finale of Nurse Jackie to attend the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards last night at Lincoln Center. But fictional freelancer Betsey Morgenstern was there taking plenty of notes!

Marc Jacobs' naked perfume ad is just another reason to love him.

An employee at Marc Jacobs' SoHo store intercepted a delivery of cocaine; she called the cops because she thought it was anthrax. It can be hard to tell the difference between drug dealers and terrorists.

A tipster says Marc Jacobs wore a red plaid kilt to jury duty on Monday and Tuesday. (His boyfriend is known to hate kilts—does that mean they're off again?) Well, at least he's not skirting his civic duties!

Thanks to Christian anti-gay activist George Rekers and his Boy Friday, Lucien, everyone is talking about male prostitutes. What should you do if you want to hire a hustler? A handy guide below!

Page Six reports this morning that fashion designer Marc Jacobs and his Brazilian boyfriend (husband?) Lorenzo Martone have broken up. But another report from the Boston Herald contradicts the story. What's going on here?

It involves a violent Samantha Ronson confrontation. Sandra Bullock gets a mistress apology. Marc Jacobs breaks up with his boytoy. Bret Michael remains in the ICU. Mariah isn't preggers. Monday's gossip roundup has all the answers.

Not satisfied with conquering just the fancy clothes market, freewheeling libertine Marc Jacobs is now opening a book store, called Book Marc, across the street from Magnolia Bakery. How many copies of Maurice will there be? Many, hopefully. [Racked]

Housing Works, an AIDS and homelessness organization, opened its new thrift shop in Midtown last night. We were there along with some Real Housewives, Marc Jacobs' boyfriend, a Bravo boss, and a "day gay." We even got some questions answered.

The power gays are always trying to whitewash the gay world to convince mainstream culture we're "normal." What they really need is a poster boy like Marc Jacobs. He is attractive, successful, talented, and gayer than a lube-stained bathhouse.

The gay world is often represented as some sort of monolithic whole that has the same culture. That is a lie. It is actually broken down into a handful of substrata to which each gay belongs. Here they are.

We got a hold of the BUTT Magazine's upcoming interview with Jacob's adorable husbear Lorenzo Martone and he says they were married in St. Barts over New Years even though they previously denied it. Also, Lorenzo says he's hung!

Marc Jacobs denied getting married to Lorenzo Martone last month after photos surfaced of what appeared to be his wedding party. (The event, which was hosted by art dealer Larry Gagosian, featured a wedding cake topped with Jacobs and Martone along with two of their dogs.) It looks like that was a misdirect: Martone now says the couple really did tie the knot. [Gawker, previously]
