Celebrities showing up at New York Fashion Week is pretty much a given – but not at this year’s Marc Jacobs show. ”
We’re not going to have celebrities.
Last season we had two celebrities that showed up.
One because Lady Gaga was doing our after-party, and she didn’t even make it to her seat because we started the show before she got there.
And one was Madonna.
She came backstage, and I was like, ‘What do you do with her now?’’ designer Marc Jacobs told Style.com.
“Because it’s not like she was invited.
She just called and said she was coming, and we weren’t holding the show for her.
She just came and that was it.
There’s certain things I can’t control, but we used to have all the celebrities and people there, and I think that at that moment in time that’s what people loved.
It generated so much press and at a certain point it was like, ‘Did anybody actually watch the show?’” Ouch… we have a pretty good idea who Madge and Gaga won’t be rocking on the red carpet anytime soon!

I am a great admirer of Lady Gaga, What I write now will most likely come to nothing, but if you don't try you won't know.
I am a male in my mid 50's now and growing up in the 70's there was a singer and songwriter by the name of Clifford T. Ward. I have always loved his music and every time I hear one of his songs I think to myself ''what if Lady Gaga were to sing one of his songs'' I thought that if she were to listen to his words and music she would love his work as much as I have.
So here I am, as we Irish would say, chancing my arm, hoping that by some remote chance that my Lady Gaga may come across this. I love the idea of her discovering Clifford T. Ward, listening to his music and thinking ''WOW!'
And, you never know.
