    MISCHA & HER MATEY

    Image Like fellow pirate fan Linds Lo, Mischa B. loves her some ahoy attention. It's almost uncanny how Barton's current squeeze - crazy cannonball Cisco Adler - looks like a chip off the original ahoy: John Galliano. Let's see how they match up: Scraggly hair? Check. *Pencil moustache? Check. Disco chain? Check. Bruce Springsteen-style 'Born in the U.S.A.' bandanna? Doppelganger city! Mischa should just drop that zero and get with Galliano, our hero.

    *Speaking of moustaches, when Splendora's boss lady Gina Pell was in Paris for the spring shows a few years back she ran into Galliano at L'Avenue (he was lunching with Andre Leon Talley). She remarked that although John's lip whiskers looked dramatically drawn with an eyebrow pencil, he was still a dashing swashbuckler.


    DON'T GIVE US ANY OF THAT PHONEY BALONEY

    Image Some people are crazy (i.e. Karl Lagerfeld, Tom Cruise) and some folks are just phoney baloney. Like, we ain't buyin' what they're sellin'. Capiche? Here's Splendora's short list of offenders:
    1) James Lipton: Talking about J.Lo's character development in Anaconda? No way Jos
