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??

Tory Burch Teams Up With The Michael J. Fox Foundation For Parkinson's Awareness Month!

Filed Under: Fashion Smashion Inspiration Tory Burch Michael J. Fox

What do you get when you mix fashion, Tory Burch and the Michael J. Fox Foundation?

An amazing opportunity to help raise funds for Parkinson's research, that's what!

For the month of April, the designer has pledged to donate 20% of sales from select orange items to the actor's foundation. Those items include the Robinson Chain Mini Bag ($365), Simone Cardigan ($225), Robinson Coin Case ($95) and the Aaden Flats ($250).

Tory said was more than happy to help out such a worthy cause:

“It’s an honor to partner with the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Michael’s optimism and determination are truly an inspiration, and we are thrilled to help in our own small way.”

Michael jokingly added:

“It doesn’t hurt that we both love orange”

And so do we!

As if that wasn’t enough incentive to purchase, Google's co-founder Sergey Brin and his wife Anne Wojcicki will match every dollar raised by the sale until the end of the year.

Wow!

All of the items mention can be purchased at toryburch.com or the Madison Avenue store in New York City.

The always adorable Carrie Underwood is all smiles on the April/May issue of Vegas magazine.

In her spread the American Idol turned country princess strikes a pose in some of the hottest designs by Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Nanette Lepore and Tory Burch.

We're not exactly loving Carrie's bangs and they went a little crazy with the Photoshop on certain shots, but all in all the pictures are nice.

Do U agree???
