CAN FASHION DESIGNERS BE CLASSED AS CELEBRITIES?

I do hope they can, because this is the first Dumb Celebrity news I've been able to post for ages. Sure there's Britney and Amy but I don't believe in kicking a woman when she's already down - where's the sport in that?

But, I hear that fashion designer Mark Jacobs' company is under investigation for allegedly attempting to bribe a state armory into letting them hold a fashion show there.

On Wednesday, New York State Attorney, Andrew Cuomo, announced that a former superintendent of the 69th Regiment Armory, James Jackson, had been indicted for extortion and bribery. Jackson ran the armory for over eight years, and is charged with demanding over $30,000 to allow Marc Jacobs to hold fashion shows and other events at the facility.

The armory is the home of military units currently deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq. Maybe Marc Jacobs should join them, taking James Jackson with him.
