February 3, 2008 -- MARC Jacobs kicked off Fashion Week with a documentary on the behind-the-scenes life of a designer - although many viewers would have likely been more interested in the secret tryst he's been having with a porn star.
Jacobs has been quietly seeing adult film actor Erik Rhodes and whisking him away to secret locations, sources told Page Six. The new fling is likely the reason things have cooled again between Jacobs and former male escort Jason Preston, whom he's dated on and off since 2005.
Sources said Jacobs' affair with Rhodes - who describes himself as "Addictive. Wild. Open" on his ManNet.com profile - began last year when the designer invited Rhodes to join him and Preston for a three-way. Jacobs allegedly continued the fling with Rhodes one on one after that.
"Jason thought he and Marc were exclusive again," said our insider. "But Marc is sleeping with this porn star behind his back, and sneaking him to Paris for hot sex."
Rhodes seems an unlikely partner for the flamboyant fashionista, who counts Winona Ryder and Ashley Olsen as close friends. The guy-on-guy actor proudly wrote on his profile that he is "full-blown gay" and starred in adult movies such as "Flesh," "Flex," and "Beefcake."
When we saw Preston Thursday night at the Cinema Society bash sponsored by W magazine for the documentary "Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton," he was keeping his distance from the designer.
The two were on opposite ends of the room, and a fellow party guest noted the duo seemed to be avoiding each other.
Jacobs has done a couple of stints in rehab for drug abuse, and Preston made waves when he had Jacobs' full name tattooed on his forearm. The boytoy told HX magazine last year they were "engaged."
Despite the hot designer's extracurricular activities, we hear Preston still plans to attend tomorrow's Jacobs show with Aly Hilfiger as his date.
Asked about Rhodes, Jacobs told Page Six through a spokesperson, "He's a really nice guy and we are just friends.

Well page six, thanks for running the story without having any credable information. This is just one of those instances where you can't believe everything that you read. I do however like that fact that a silly story like this is the top gossip news of the day... i guess it was just a slow week. Where is crazy britney when you need her! I guess it will be an even better story when i show up for his show this Friday. Drama drama drama. Jason Preston and i will just have to get into a cat fight while Marc's Fall collection comes down the runway.

Oh jeez. They probably ran out of Britney fiasco drama since she's locked down literally.
If this was true, why wouldn't you break the story first? Right?
Hell, if you want attention (which you don't), screwing around with one of the world's top fashion designers is the way to do it.
Start a counter-rumor that you are the real father of Britney's children.
Is any publicity really good publicity? I bet more people would be searching your name and you'll be more famous because of it. Although I guess it really depends if you want or need to be more famous.
don´t you just love the press??? lol
Hey, at least it took your mind off your troubles.
at least you're being linked to someone who has something going on in their life...true or not, marc jacobs is an upgrade from danny...
Haha..that is quite a story. Rumours...rumours...rumours :)
Thats a good one,where is crazy Britney when you need her? Erik we know that this is nothing more than pure gossip otherwise you would have talked about it on this blog,most of which has been about your breakup with whats his face.Moving on!
love and hugs from a random fan.
*hugs*
LMAO.. ERIK Im hurt you didnt share this tid bit of info..... DIVA is definitely going to bite you now... Yeah get into a cat fight wearing something that will tear off easily and then scream like a woman and run out in the middle of the show LOL.... Jesus Christ its funny people will print something without any valid resources.... Take it easy
At least they did their research. They read a profile of you. And they quoted from it, like five whole words! That's hardcore journalism right there.

Yeah, Erik, I wouldn't take any leads on life from Pierre Fitch -- he talks about how sad he is that his grandmother is dying and then posts a picture of himself pulling his underwear down.
also, ManNet.com profile? Do they mean ManHunt.Net?
I wish the free speech really existed in this country, then I'd be able to say what I really want to about this. For now, here's a lil poem for you Erik. Stay stong don't let the bastards get you down.
The way it used to be
Heard through the grapevine yesterday
From one of our mutual friends
That you want to "turn back time", in one way
Going back to before "we" came to an end.
Painted a pretty picture of our relationship
Talked about sunsets, poetry and dreams
Had tears in your eyes as you wondered..
"what was it?"
"How could something so good be gone?"
To be honest in talking about
The way it used to be..
You should have added the details,
The fights...
Oh yes, what about the truths
You refused to see?
How I had to constantly tell you that
You were right..
In making your painting of the past
The background should have included storms of never ending doubt.
Strokes of midnight that would last
Longer than sunshine ever could...
Heard through the grapevine yesterday
About how you say it was.
Had to hold back a lot of stored up
Hurt and pain
Because...
The way it used to be
Was all about how you would have it.
Never did it include the reality
of how sad
it really was.
Hey Erik - I'll be honest, I came here for the gossip, but in reading through your blog I was really surprised by your openness and honesty about your struggle with depression. I'm impressed by your willingness to tell the truth. I want to share something with you: there is a peer-led mental health self-help group called "Recovery International" (not 12 step, not religious, completely independent) that has done a lot to help me with anxiety and depression, which I have had for years. They have been around for 50 years, and have helped many people get their lives under control. You can find out more information here: http://www.recovery-inc.org/
If it's something that sounds interesting to you, check it out. Either way, I wish you the best.
Chris
So I'm just curious...if you're NOT friends/fuckbuds w/ Mssr. Jacobs, how/why are you going to his show?! Oh and a comment from an earlier posting, imho you haven't fucked up by hosting a sexparty if you don't slam tina. Chow for now, boyo.
"without having any credable information."
Erik,
Which claims in the Page Six story are untrue?
So, what is the story?
the real story... i guess you will never know.
before this rumour, i had no idea who you were. i googled your name after the marc jacobs fiasco rumour, and i saw 2 youtube videos of you. one was the one of you being interviewed by a twink at some sort of red carpet, and the other one where you were unknowingly filming yourself (that you blogged about earlier). i found both to be endearing, especially the accidental one. to see a hulk-type man so unaware and so natural was "cute" (i mean that in the least cheesy way possible without). anyways, i spent a good hour reading your blog (basically taking a crash course on erik rhodes, might even call it rhodes101). theres no real point to this reply, because im not even replying to the topic that you posted about, i just wanted to let you know that your honest entries are appreciated. although i may not agree with everything you do, or even say, i thoroughly enjoy this window into e.rhodes. one last thing, not to shatter your ego, but although you seem to be grade A goodness physically, your wit seem to be your best feature and i hope the untapped source that is your personality doesnt go unnoticed or unappreciated much longer. it'll be a shame!
So if Jason Preston has HIV then do Marc and Erik have it?
I am sorry, Erik. It seems nobody's lives are private anymore, not governors nor you. It is a sad day when someone can't post their pictures on MySpace without fear of them being posted all over the New York Times because they got caught in some ambiguous scandal.
I wouldn't let it get to you! Hold your head up high, and let us know how it went :) :)
