Over at Milan Fashion Week, Bergdorf Goodman’s fashion director of men’s wear, Tommy Fazio, was “unceremoniously asked” to give up his front-row seat at Saturday’s Versace runway show. Why? Because of Beyoncé, of course!

According to a dispatch posted on T Magazine’s Web site today, Mr. Fazio was forced from his seat by a “clipboard Nazi,” who needed the chair for a member of the 26-year-old diva’s entourage. In apparent protest, the fashion director immediately refused to buy anything from the show and canceled his upcoming showroom appointment. (Considering Donatella Versace’s seemingly unconventional managerial methods, extensively profiled in a recent, riveting New Yorker profile, one can assume that heads will likely roll.) Then, after the show had ended, Beyoncé and her “boo,” Jay-Z, burned rubber out of a GQ party because there was no V.I.P. room at the affair.

In related news fresh out of the Italian city, the Spice Girls are expected to show up at the Roberto Cavalli runway show today. At a concert in London last week, Victoria Beckham reportedly sent up several shout-outs to the Italian designer. Because of Posh’s ability to fit into small boxes normally reserved for, say, a pair of shoes, she could pop up at any moment.

 

 

Last week Tamsin Lonsdale, founder of the upscale social networking service The Supper Club, described a recent experience at the Spotted Pig.

“We were having a very civilized dinner,” she recalled to the Transom, “and suddenly, uh, the music got cranked up, and there were 50 movers and shakers on the dance floor, and Jay-Z and Beyoncé were hanging out with us.”

On Tuesday, Dec. 10, a witness who was at the Spotted Pig that legendary night called offering further information about the time Ms. Lonsdale and her party spent in the vicinity of Jay-Z, who is part-owner of the restaurant, and his girlfriend, pop singer Beyoncé Knowles.  read more »

There’s no question—Beyoncé Knowles enjoys a truly ridonkulous lifestyle. What with Jay-Z as your man, hotness as your bod, Sirens as your voice and gold buillon as your pennies, it must feel like the sun rises and sets in your gilt bidet. So don’t let this American Express commercial make you think any differently. Nobody—no matter how radical your ways and off-the-hook your style—should be forced to live like the woman in this minute-long spot. Heck, considering the second-hand motion sickness, fatigue and cramps—what?—we experienced after sitting through the ad, nobody should be forced to watch it, either. (Scratch that, it’s definitely worth a peep.) Does AmEx actually think people want to go directly from the Madrid airport with an obnoxious blonde assistant, only to hop into an impromptu dance class to break a shoe? They won’t even let her visit the Prado! At least in their other celebrity-driven campaigns Ellen DeGeneres gets to chill with exotic animals and Wes Anderson appears a lot cooler than he is.  read more »

On Saturday, July 1, rumors flew about Martha's Vineyard. Busboys and waiters everywhere said that Jay-Z and Beyonce were getting married on the island.

Locals said they saw an enormous tent being erected on Sunday on Chappaquiddick, a small island barely attached to Martha's Vineyard and accessible by ferry.

Throughout the weekend, industry worker types said things like, "I got a buddy who was hired to put up tents," but nothing as concrete as an engraved wedding invite or cake invoiced to Roc-A-Fella was ever produced. The weather on the island was gorgeous on Sunday, July 2—the day that a source for Jossip named for the wedding day. —Sara Vilkomerson
