Designer Marc Jacobs has hired Lauren "LC" Conrad to walk in his upcoming show for New York Fashion Week.

"Marc hired Lauren Conrad to do his show, so now all the real models have to sign releases for TV if they want to be in his show - which of course they do," says one insider. "They are very put out that Marc succumbed to putting on one of 'those shows' - you know, the publicity shows."

Talk of pissed off models has also been making the rounds. Apparently they feel a simple reality tv star couldn't handle the job of walking a straight line with clothes on. Time will tell.
