Karl Lagerfeld may have a new cat—with its own Twitter handle, no less—but Gucci has also acquired a new animal: a horse. The house, which has long been associated with equestrian chic, renamed the stallion Guccio after house founder Guccio Gucci, WWD reports. Unlike Karl’s cat Choupette, Guccio is not so much a pet. He may make an appearance at the Olympics—or at least, that is the hope: he’s currently residing in Holland, at the stables of Edwina Alexander, currently the world’s top female horse-jumper.

Not too long ago, the only people who knew the name Aaron Paul were viewers of The Price is Right, but times have certainly changed for the young rough-and-tumble actor. Paul is now most well known for his Emmy Award-winning performance on AMC’s hit show Breaking Bad. The 32-year-old actor, who won the Emmy in 2010 for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series plays Jesse Pinkman on the show, a troubled wannabe gangster with a big heart and an astounding amount of charm. We can’t help it: despite his cheesy lingo and oversized pants, there’s something about Jesse that is undeniably attractive. Whatever it is, this baby-faced bad boy has totally stolen a piece of our hearts! But who was Paul before he was a cast member of the six-time Emmy Award-winning show? Turns out, he isn’t quite the bad boy we envisioned him as. In fact, he was the son of a minister who got his acting career started by performing in his church’s plays. From there, he realized his heart was set on acting and since then, he’s made various appearances on shows such as Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place, CSI, and most recently Big Love. Paul even played a role in the movie Mission: Impossible III, but his real fame began when he pulled on a beanie on the set of the AMC show. Originally, Paul’s character Jesse was supposed to be killed off at the end of the first season, but after only a couple of episodes, Vince Gilligan, the director, realized that would be a mistake as he watched Paul light up the set alongside Bryan Cranston, who plays Walter White, the show’s main character. Even though we’ve blown Paul’s bad boy cover, we’re still totally obsessed and can’t wait for the final season of Breaking Bad to begin on July 15th. Our only question for today’s crush of the week is, what next?

- We spotted Katy Perry in an amazing map dress! We love the mustard yellow and pale pink on the dress, especially when paired with Katy's deep purple highlights and grey coat. She managed to mix her signature whimsical style with a bit of class and we adore it.

- Are they really over? It might be true. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson haven't been spotted together in almost 3 weeks. Sources close to the couple are saying they got in a huge fight during the Cannes Film Festival and they've been taking a break since then. "At Rob's Cosmopolis party, she lost her temper... She says he was flirting with other women, but he wasn't at all. She was in the lobby in tears." Oh no, poor Kristen! The couple had such a big fight that they even stayed in separate hotels, Rob stayed at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc and Kristen stayed at the Hotel Martinez. With the Twilight saga soon ending, it seems only natural that KStew and RPatz would end too.

Last night, Fern Mallis’s discussion series at 92nd Street Y wrapped up its first season with a symposium featuring Michael Kors. Entering the Upper East Side establishment, attendees were expecting a sort of fashion comedy hour—as Kors is known to entertain—and though the bar was set high, the designer delivered. “The last thing I can do is work off a script,” Kors told ELLE following the discussion. “I told Fern that I didn’t want to know too much about what she was going to ask me in advance—just let it rip.” Born Karl Anderson, Jr., Kors had changed his name by the age of twelve. “As we all know, in fashion there’s only one Karl—I had a premonition,” he said. And by that age, his interest in fashion and entrepreneurialism had already started to sprout. AN 11-year-old Kors set up the “Iron Butterfly Boutique” in his basement, selling an array of homemade candles and whip-stitched leather pouches. “They sold out within a week,” he noted. Summer camp was also an opportune environment for Kors’s burgeoning ideas of luxury—he established a laundry service where he’d hand-wash and press fellow campers’ garments. “We didn’t have an iron,” he explained, “so we’d drip-dry them and lay them between two pieces of wooden shelving.” Fast-forward a few years and Kors was enrolled at FIT, an experience that was short-lived, as the designer dropped-out before graduating. “I was going out a lot,” he said of the time. “I frankly thought that Bianca Jagger’s birthday party [at Studio 54] was a great lesson.” Kors found employment on the sales floor at a now-shuttered department store on 57th Street—a job that evolved into him designing the store’s entire in-house label. It was there that he met then-editor Vera Wang. “I was ringing her up and she was asking about the clothes,” he recalled. “And then she said, ‘Do you want to go to the Met [ball]?’” He dressed Wang in his designs for the gala, that year honoring Yves Saint Laurent. “I almost levitated,” Kors said of his YSL encounter. When he left to start his own label, the designer would sew production samples on rented sewing machines in his Chelsea flat. “I only had two sizes—P and S,” Kors said. Bergdorf Goodman hosted his first trunk show at age 21, but it would be three years before Kors staged a fashion show. In 1993, Kors encountered an infamous kink in the middle of his fashion show, held in an raw downtown space. ”I heard an explosion from backstage that sounded like gunfire,” he said. “Naomi Campbell came off of the runway and said that the ceiling had fallen down and that it had hit some people,” including well-regarded journalist, Suzy Menkes. “It was time for New York to get professional show spaces… Voila!” he said, gesturing at Mallis, who was responsible for establishing the first organized fashion week in New York. By 2000, following a few minor roadblocks (including bankruptcy in 1993), Kors had begun to hit an indefinite stride, presenting his ‘Palm Bitch’ collection for Spring and designing the ‘Tahiti’ sandal that was regarded as the shoe of the season. “I called it my Park Avenue Jesus sandal,” he said. “It was a hippie sandal that you could wear at La Grenouille.” More recently, Kors has struck a footwear goldmine with his “consummate Bat Mitzvah shoe—it’s called the Berkley T-Strap. Now I have 12-year-old customers.” The designer, who’s judged Project Runway for the last ten years, was originally hesitant to enroll in the reality TV formula, he revealed. “I kept thinking Survivor—like people were going to be eating the fabric or something.” Looking back now, Kors is impressed: “It was the first time that people saw how clothes come about and the interesting people that are involved in the process.” Most recently, Kors rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, signaling his company’s initial public offering, which was valued at 3.5 billion dollars—the largest in fashion history. “It was better than my Bar Mitzvah,” he quipped. Noting his success has been thirty years in the making, to young designers he advised: “Keep your eye on the ball—do what you do, and do it well.”
