This is of course what their PR reps wanted to get across in “leaking” an account of their messy, smelly simulacrum of a dude-ish bachelor pad (in Chelsea) to the NY Daily News Gatecrasher column.  There is, in fact, nothing accomplished with this “scoop” besides subtly counteracting the rumors that these two are major homos.

“It stinks!” an insider insists. “Those boys are slovenly and have garbage and clothes everywhere. You’d think they were living in a frat house!”

We’re guessing this is a pre-emptive gossip strike anticipating another item coming soon, perhaps on Page 6, concerning Chace and Ed out fagging about town and giving drunken handjobs to each other in a corner at Mr. Black.  We can’t wait.
