Feeling Lochte?
Ryan Lochte might be on the brink of winning another medal — Fashion Week MVP. The Olympian is loading up on events before leaving town today (don’t fret; he returns Tuesday for more antics). At the Guys Fashion’s Night Out party Thursday at the new Ainsworth Park, the swimmer enthused about his famous mouth bling: “I do pretty much anything with a grill on,” he told Buzz. “I mean, I won the gold medal with a grill!”
He’s keen on gearing up his girls, too. When asked what he’d give as a parting gift to one-night stands (a la Derek Jeter doling out signed baseballs, as Page Six reported in December), Lochte showed off his generous side. “If I was ever doing anything like that?” he asked. “I mean, I guess I’d have to give her a signed Speedo. Probably one of the ones I design. Maybe a hot-pink or a lime-green one.”
Intern wears Lanvin
He has impeccable timing on the court, but after arriving 20 minutes tardy for Thursday’s Duckie Brown show, Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo is learning a thing or two about being fashionably late. “I thought we were going to miss it! I didn’t realize that everything started so late, and the show is the quickest thing about it,” says Rondo, who is interning at GQ this week. The stylish Celtic, who favors Lanvin and Rag & Bone, has been helping around the fashion closet, and has even fetched coffee. NBA players are known for their flashy wardrobes, so whose style does he admire? “I don’t want to say this, but I have to give credit. Next to me, Dwyane Wade dresses nice,” admits Rondo, who is loving life as an intern, famous or not. “[The GQ editors] are teaching me a lot. I know I’m a basketball player and I play for Boston, but they’re treating me like I play for the Knicks and I’m an editor.”
Till chicken do us part
Jerry Seinfeld might want to turn in his “Marriage Ref” uniform for a chef’s apron, at least according to wife Jessica Seinfeld. At the CH Kids’ Night Out event for Baby Buggy at the Carolina Herrera boutique Thursday, the author and cook complained about her funny hubby’s lack of kitchen skills.
“If I asked him to make me a piece of chicken — if I was dying in my bed and I said, ‘Could you make me a piece of chicken? If you make me a piece of chicken, I won’t die,’ he wouldn’t know how to do it . . . I’d get death over chicken.”
Mrs. Seinfeld cites her husband’s culinary ineptness as the inspiration for the cookbook she’s handing in next week, titled “The Can’t Cook Book: Recipes for the Absolutely Terrified.”
Body over baby
Model Selita Ebanks is head over heels in love with her beau of one year, Terrence J., former host of BET’s “106 & Park.”
“He is my heart. It’s definitely the best relationship that I have ever been in,” said the stunner at Thursday’s Monika Chiang presentation. But when discussion turned to babies, her tune quickly changed: “Of course, I would love to have children. But I don’t know if it’s worth the stretch marks; my assistant may have to carry it for me!”
That’s one task her assistant may not be up to, given that his name is Dwayne.
Dressed for sex-cess
Actress Jennifer Missoni’s ideal role is as colorful as the knitwear her cousin Margherita designs. At the Supra collection on Thursday, she dished on her upcoming comedy, “Wifed Out,” in which she plays “a really raunchy, bats - - t crazy girl. It was so much fun and the type of material I really want to be doing more of: strong female characters, women who are fighting the system of oppression.” Apparently that extends to porn stars: Her next film role is in “Inferno,” the biopic of “Deep Throat” star Linda Lovelace.
