Christopher Burch Employee Allegedly Fired For NOT Being Gay

This is a weird turn of events.

A former employee who worked for Christopher Burch, Tory Burch's ex-husband and business partner, claims he was fired for NOT being gay.

Say what, now??

Jamie Ardigo says Burch told him:

"[He] only hired gay men because they were productive and he trusted them."

Ardigo has now filed a $1 million lawsuit in Manhattan against Burch, stating he found his comments to be "extremely offensive" and "inappropriate."

Naturally, Burch's attorney denies the allegations, adding they are:

"…prepared to mount a vigorous defense."

Oh boy. This is definitely a first. Only in fashion though, right??

Angelina Jolie's Engagement Ring Designer Flawless!

Filed Under: Angelina Jolie Legal Matters Jewelry

We admit it: we got it wrong. And we'd like to make it right. Last week we ran a story that we shouldn’t have. It involved Robert Procop, the world- renowned jewelry designer who worked with Brad Pitt to create Angelina's one-of-a-kind diamond engagement ring. It turns out, Mr. Procop was never found guilty of fraud and never had a judgment entered against him for fraud. We apologize for the false information we distributed and our failure to remove the post more quickly.

In doing our homework on Mr. Procop, we learned that he's a pretty good guy. Not only has he designed jewelry for royalty, Presidents and celebrities, but all of the proceeds from his and Angelina's Style of Jolie collection go to build schools for children in Afghanistan.

Linda Evangelista Laughs All The Way To The Bank Met Gala

Filed Under: Fashion Smashion Legal Matters Linda Evangelista Red Carpet Prada Miu Miu Met Gala

Linda Evangelista didn't waste any time celebrating her child support settlement last night.

With dollar signs twinkling in her eyes, the supermodel attended the Met Gala in a black Prada peplum gown, Miu Miu shoes and a 50 carat diamond necklace from Harry Winston.

It's a little on the boring side, but we're sure Linda could care less.
