...always do what their teachers tell them to. Galliano's snowy roofs and jungle walks are haute theater. McQueen has been known to moon on the runway, and his collection featuring the infamous bumster, jeans designed to bare the bottom, caused a sensation. In his latest London outing, he sank his catwalk under a few inches of water. The models maneuvered well, but when he took his bow, the maestro looked like a cat on a hot tinny puddle...

Some industry executives speculate, however, that the network leaked the notion of outing Ellen to test advertiser reaction. DeGeneres has reportedly never been comfortable with the dating subplots of her TV vehicle, and now that rerun rights have been sold to Lifetime in a relatively disappointing deal, she has little to lose by making Ellen Morgan a lesbian...
