"Pharrell Williams, known for his catchy production and faux falsetto singing, may have jeopardized his new Louis Vuitton campaign due to certain disparaging comments made during a GQ magazine party.The Neptunes beat maker ??? who is set to appear in LV???s menswear campaign during the fall and winter ??? reportedly kicked out singer Elton John???s husband, David Furnish, and Burberry designer Christopher Bailey from his VIP suite in Milan, Italy.The reason? There was ???too much sausage??? in the room, and not enough ladies.The New York Daily News reported that Louis Vuitton representatives have been calling around ???taking the temperature??? for possible accusations of homophobia. They have reportedly even considered pulling Pharrell from the campaign.The newspaper cites ???multiple sources??? who claim international model Naomi Campbell telephoned Pharrell after reading the reports, and told him: ???Two words, Donna Summer.??? It was a reference to the disco diva???s career taking a nosedive after she allegedly made several homophobic remarks in 1981."

Um...no.
Two words: gay fanbase. Donna Summer had one, Pharrell does not.
How many time his release date has been pushed back ?
I would bet there are plenty of Pharrell productions that get play in gay clubs.
Really??
i don't like "Number One" too much, but i thought "Mamacita" and "Angel" were solid as singles. apparently not.
Either way, doesn't look good. You don't worry about kicking a dieter out of an eating contest.
Come on, that new single with kanye is totally gay.
Sucks that he has to catch flack for kicking dudes out of his v.i.p. suite. I hardly see how thats homophobic. Too many dudes just doesnt make for a good party.....Unless you are gay i guess.
GQ Magazine party = "a gay contest"?
Given the climate of homophobia in hip-hop, I for one won't extend the benefit of the doubt on that. I mean, i don't buy the man's music, so it really doesn't matter, but on the surface, it seems like there was some malice implied.
that song would be ok if kanye was not on it, most of it he just says random shit like "yeah" "girl" "alright" "number one" and its fucking annoying and makes an average song into a shit one
I think it was seen as being homophobic because Elton John's hubby and the Burberry designer guy were kicked out.
Is this blown out of proportion? Perhaps.
Hot women roll with gay dudes.
This is stupid who really cares though. seriously.
So do busted ones though.....
So did Pharell indirectly alienate all hot chicks?
Where's Fagtillo?
My thoughts, exactly. And I doubt that P was falsettoing "No gay bros, bring more hoes."
Not to minimize their claim because I'm just speculating, but it seems to me like EJ's husband was overly sensitive to the situation.

Maybe I'm just arguing the other side because hip hop has an AWFUL rep when it comes to matters of sexuality, maybe Pharrell should have been a little more careful in his choice of words. Just speculation on MY part, but maybe he shouldn't have been so overly blase about the situation.
whats the source for this story?
but really...
