One can only imagine what it's been like for Michelle Williams the past few weeks. But on Saturday in Australia, it was all about what would have made Heath Ledger smile.
Following what...
Marc's friend Michael Lucas, the porn star, observed his own affront to fashion beauty standards. After posing for photos with Victoria Beckham, he told us he would “commit suicide” if he had her complexion! “Her skin is yellow with big pores,” he said. “Each pore you could fit a big [piece of] caviar in.”
Marc Jacobs campaign model and singer M.I.A., meanwhile, had a less-than-glamorous experience last year when she was turned away from Jacobs's after-party. “Me and Marc are gonna talk about it tonight,” she said ominously. Why she didn’t get in? “I guess I had a terrible reputation. I just turned up on the spot.” She wouldn't give up any details on the new album she's working on, and for good reason. “I’m not saying nothing this time, I’m keeping it secret. I don’t want, like, Fergie to make the record before I do,” she told us, before rushing to the after-party where, this year, she was the D.J.
At said after-party, it was Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore who was disappointed. “I didn’t get a goody bag,” he said, referring to the packages stamped with images of his band's Goo album cover. “I was really bummed. I went out looking for one afterwards and they were all gone.” We later asked Sophia Bush, whom we spotted talking to a surprisingly demure-looking Lil’ Kim, whether her hoarse voice indicated the onset of an unstylish Fashion Week flu. “My voice is gone from having to speak up all the time for interviews,” she said, adding, “and screaming like a fraternity boy for an hour when the Giants won didn’t help either.” Here's to hoping for a glitzier time next year. —Fiona Byrne

You poor, poor darling... Jacobs and Zoe commiserate at last night's party.Photo: Wenn
RZ: Marc! [air kisses]
MJ: We were already dressed five minutes before the show was about to start, and I went out onstage and I said “Everybody sit down, I’m starting the fucking show!”
RZ: Literally, Marc, it took me 45 minutes to go twenty blocks. I get out of the car, I get to the gate, they’re like, “It’s started,” and I go “You don’t understand, he’s my friend, I gotta fucking get in there!” I was so mad.
MJ: I know, Jason told me.
RZ: Oh my God, I was so mad.
We asked Jacobs how he managed to start just twenty minutes late for once. “We were ready to start ten minutes before time,” he said, “but we kept getting told that we had to wait for the audience, which is why I went onstage and I said ‘Come on, guys, I wanna start.’” Jacobs said this was the first time he had started so soon. “We just showed less clothes. We did what we could do in the time we had,” he said.
Then we coaxed more details from Zoe. “I am so upset right now,” she said. “I was working really late and I left on time for the show and it should have taken seven minutes to get there and it took 45. And I missed it and he’s one of my best friends and I literally almost burst into tears at the gate. It was horrible.”
You probably didn’t know it would start on time, we said sympathetically. “I wasn’t even that late!” she exclaimed. “It took 45 minutes to get there. I’m gonna watch it right now, and tonight I’m gonna watch it with Marc so it’s not the end of the world, but I’m really sad.”
