CALVIN KLEIN’S OBSESSION WITH NICK GRUBER

According to Page Six, Calvin Klein was not thrilled to learn that his hurricane damaged NYC triplex might be unlivable for six months, but the fashion designer has bigger problems. His ex-boyfriend Nick Gruber’s tell-all (aptly titled “Obsession: My Life With Calvin Klein”) has been picked up by a publishing house and from what we’ve seen, it’s a shocking and fascinating story. We sneaked a peek at the first chapter and were surprised to learn HOW Nick and Calvin met. Nick was 20 and in the army and moonlighted as a gay porn star and high priced escort! A pimp who caters to the Velvet Mafia introduced them! Nick was drawn into NY society and there are LOTS of juicy details! As we told you, Nick, who claims to be straight, is now in a relationship John Luciano (somehow related to the infamous Lucky Luciano) in Los Angeles, and still dates women.(?)

CALVIN KLEIN DOES NOT WANT HIS EXBOYFRIEND TO WRITE A LURID TELL-ALL

Calvin Klein must have some VERY dark secrets he doesn’t want exposed, because he seems really worried at the prospect of his former boyfriend Nick Gruber writing a tell-all book about their two year affair. Since they split, former adult star Nick has moved to Los Angeles where he took up with John Luciano, who is somehow related to the Lucky Luciano crime family. When Calvin heard about Nick’s new boyfriend he sent a private investigator (and former NY cop) named James >Harkins to LA to snoop around and ask questions about the pair.

Can you guess who this famous American fashion designer is? Check the label- you’re probably wearing his socks or underpants. It’s Calvin Klein, who was touted as the new Yves Saint Laurent in the 70’s when he debuted his clothing line. In the late 80’s Klein dropped out of sight for awhile and the fashion world was abuzz with speculation that he was dying of AIDS. This would have put his huge namesake corporation in dire jeopardy. When he finally returned to work it was rumored that his company had hired a LOOKALIKE to stand in for the dead or ailing Klein! He must have been puzzled and flattered by the attention but managed eventually to convince the press that he was indeed, alive and well. And still around, as we can see.

EVA MENDES UNDERWEAR AD IS TOO MUCH FOR SOME PEOPLE

Eva Mendes’ new ad for Calvin Klein underwear has caused a disturbance in a New York neighborhood. This overheated ad covers the entire side of a building on the corner of Houston Street and Lafayette Street in Soho. SOME of the people who live nearby say it’s too much and want the steamy ad taken down. Others enjoy looking at it.
