Marc Jacobs' Boy Toy Speaks!
Filed under: Fashion Smashion > Marc Jacobs
Jason Preston just sat down with HX magazine to talk about his (often volatile) relationship with the famed fashion designer, their recent engagement, sobriety, Lindsay, the "haters" out there and his dream of opening an organization for children living with HIV and AIDS.
Did he really say that? YUP! And, yes, he really did just get a huge ass Mariah over his (hard) abs.

1st Lady of Fashion
Marc Jacobs’ muse Jason Preston shares a sobering look at their inextinguishable spark
By Brandon Voss
In our May 2006 cover story, “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” former rent boy and substance abuser Jason Preston defended his “Marc Jacobs” forearm tattoo and denied allegations that he was being paid by the fashion designer for his companionship. Now, addressing recent engagement rumors for the first time, the 27-year-old party promoter (Hot Mess Sundays at Porky’s) reveals what really goes on behind the seams of their on-again, off-again romance.
HX: In the new September issue of Out, Marc said you and he were dunzo. What’s your status today?
Jason Preston: We’re back together. That interview was done a while ago. He warned me, “You’re really not going to like what I said.” I read it and was like, “What do you mean we had no fucking chemistry?!” I was pissed for, like, two seconds, and then I was over it.
Why did you get back together?
We could break up again tomorrow, but he’ll always be in my heart and I’ll always be in his. Nothing’s ever going to change between us. One of us will always keep running back.
Does making up involve crying, begging and jewelry?
None of that. The last time we broke up, we got in a fight and I stormed out, being dramatic, and we didn’t talk for a while. Then randomly, I’ll send a text, he’ll send a text, saying, “Hope you’re doing well.” Then he’ll say, “I’m in town,” I’ll go to see him, and as soon the door opens, there’s that big spark again.
Why’s your relationship so volatile?
We’ve just always been in different places, but I’m trying to travel the same path as him. I’d go out every single night, he’d come home and I’d never be there. But that was in my party days. I’m more about going to the gym now, getting my fitness on, eating right—and no drugs or alcohol.
Is that difficult?
Not at all. It’s funny because when I go out now since being sober, everybody seems different. People are slurring their words and I’m like, God, did I act like that when I was high and drunk? It’s kind of annoying because people scream in your ear and I never noticed that before. It’s like, Can you please shut the fuck up?
Has living the clean life together been a bonding experience?
Yes. It’s weird because he’s always been amazing, but when we first met, he looked different. Now he looks amazing. I was with him back then because of the way he made me feel, and we had so much fun together, but now it’s even better.
Including your sex life?
Oh my God. Amazing!
He said in Out that he didn’t blame you for his March rehab relapse, but do you feel at all responsible?
We weren’t together when that happened. But everybody makes his own choice. He made his, I’ve made mine, and now we’re on the same path, so it’s great.
You used to party hard with Lindsay Lohan. Can we at least blame you for her problems?
No. Lindsay is one of the most amazing human beings I’ve ever met. Everybody thinks she’s just a partygirl, but that’s not the case. She’s a great friend and I love her with all my heart. She has issues she needs to work out, but this time around she’s going to come back and fuckin’ prove to everybody who she really is. I’ve gone to see her a couple of times and she’s looking gorgeous. She’s happy and finding her way. I couldn’t be more proud of her.
Why the new “Mariah” tattoo?
I got “Marc Jacobs” because he’s my best friend and I’ll always love him. And I got “Mariah” because she’s a great friend, I grew up loving her, and now that I know her, I love her even more. I know I’ll never regret it, so that’s why I got it.
Does Mariah think you’re crazier than she is?
Of course not! Why would she? She knows about it, though. I sent her manager Benny a picture and said, “I want to be in the new video!” So they’re hopefully going to let me know when the video’s going to happen.
Did you make Marc get his “J.” tattoo?
No, but I was like, “People won’t know what the ‘J.’ means. It could stand for Jacobs!” So just recently I told him he needed to go all the way and put the word “Jason.”
Do you consider yourself Marc’s muse?
Well, he says that, but I don’t know. He’ll show me sketches and I’ll be like, “That’s dumb” or “That’s pretty”—shit like that. But I always support him. When he’s stressed out, working on a show, thinking, “I don’t know if it’s going to get done, if it’s going to look good,” I’m always saying, “It’s going to be the best show yet.” And every show’s been better than the last.
So are you guys really engaged?
Hmm. [long pause] Okay, I’ll just tell you how it went down. We always say crazy retarded things, but a couple of weeks ago he came back from shopping, looked at me and said, “You promise to love me and be with me forever?” I said, “Yes.” And then he gave me the ring.
A Cartier band, right?
Yes, and it’s fierce. It’s exactly what I’d want if I ever got married to anybody, but it’s kind of crazy—the thought of being married to a man.
Are you planning a ceremony?
I’m just living for now. I’m going to see what happens.
Who’ll be your best man?
Wouldn’t I have bridesmaids? [Gasps] Wouldn’t it be fierce if my bridesmaids were Mariah, Naomi Campbell and Lindsay?
Totes. Why do people dislike you?
There are always going to be haters out there and it’s not going to stop me. I like to think that it’s jealousy-who wouldn’t want to date Marc Jacobs? Whatever, those people are stupid. Oh, I’m trying to work on not being so judgmental and not talking shit about everybody. I’m trying to be the best man I can be.
What do you want to do with your life, Jason?
I’ve always known what I’ve wanted to do with my life. I want to open up an organization for children living with HIV and AIDS. That’s something that’s really close to my heart. I really don’t care about making money.
Not that you need to, honey!
Whatever, bitch.

NICE abs!
He's kinda hot!
Mariah? WHY?
hottie!!
I want to know why Perez is not making a big deal about Jerry Lewis's homophobic slur on national TV. Yet he goes apeshit over Issiah Washington's slur that was said in private.
1st bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!
Mariah??
These two definately won't last. That kind of crazy behavior will wind up ruining them in the long run. People can be so stupid.
I'd hit!
ok ^-^
He look so sexy!! Wow
oh my what a flamey flamer!
its a shame these kinda douchebags wear the iron maiden logo shirts!
aw i love what he said about lindsay!
he seems cool.
SWEET
YAY! Mimi!
This guy is nothing more than a crack head whore who hit it big with a rich gullible older guy who wanted a young piece of ass in his bed. He is just awful, rude, tacky and ignorant. Don't let any of his big words fool you, he would sell Marc Jacobs down the river if someone who had more money came along and wanted to ram his tight ass. Anyone who has seen him out and about in New york knows what a piece of shit he really is, he makes out with guys for free drinks, lets them feel him up for a dinner, all this while he talks about devotion to Marc Jacobs, between the two of them I don't know who is the bigger fool, sorry to say, but it may be Marc Jacobs.
that shirt is fuckin tore up lmao.
oh my.
STAY AWAY FROM MY MAN JASON!!! I Hope they fair well. They remind me of my boyfriend and I. When its on its soooooo on, when its off get the fuck away from both of us.

Because Perez is a racist turd. He has nothing but disdain for black people. He has a very low opinion of blacks. Take for instance his hatred of Beyonce. She’s somewhat talented, but Perez hates her for flashing her armpit. However Perez loves Paris Hilton who’s been to jail for d.u.i, or whatever it was, and who’s been videotaped sucking dick and taking it up the ass. And, by the way, Paris has no talent whatsoever. Perez, You Suck you piece of shit!!!
sexy!!
He's a fucking idiot.
way to ruin the Thundercats for me, douche
he's a hottie… too bad
I have had the absolute PLEASURE of making aquaintance with Jason…and let me tell you, I do believe he has had MANY, MANY opprotunities to sell out those he has close to him…and WOULD NEVER DO IT. I've seen firsthand that he has had those opportunites to manipulate certain situations, and never did it.
He wore his heart on his sleeve, was castigated for it…no one is perfect, EVERYONE makes mistakes but no matter what i think his loyalty to certain people is unquestionable…
he IS a party boy, and a very pretty one at that (i find him adorable) but so what? If you have met him out & about, then maybe you arent much different. You are going to judge him for being able to do what maybe you wish you could?
Pot & kettle….
I think Jason and Marc have a great relationship and they are both really cute. They seem like great guys.
Could this guy come across as a bigger dumbass? OM MY GOD AMAZING–LINDSAY IS AMAZING–I'LL NEVER REGRET MY MARIAH TATTOO…
Shitty, skinny body. No arms. And what a collosal mistake for a tattoo.
Um, if Mariah was really your 'great friend', wouldn't you just show her the tattoo or maybe call her about it? Instead of 'sending her manager a photo'…? Maybe it's just me, but if I have to talk to someone through their manager, I'm thinking we're not exactly best buddies.
YES, A TOTAL DUMBASS ASS—AND I'M SURE HE'S NEVER LISTENED TO ONE IRON MAIDEN SONG IN HIS LIFE.
This is you;
THIS IS YOU ON METH!
Yes collassal tattoo mistakee - talk about an instant boner killer.
Perez how old exactly is Mess Jackobs? I seem to recall this same bahaivor back in the day - like the 80's. Tragic isn' it?

…and I should care because?!?
why would anyone get that that fat ugly skanky pigf*kkers name tattoo'd on their body.
just. so. wrong.
he needs the guys with white coats to come around and section him.
Ewwww. Lindsay Lohan is a stupid dumb spoiled slutty bitch.
So he inks himself with every 'friend' he feels a connection for? Stupid…and not that hot looking anyway.
goes to show you the only boys that love Mooriah are gay boys
LOVE HIM!
LOVE THEM!
LOVE MBMJ BAGS!
:D
He's kind of crazy, but FIERCE!
Sober? I think not. This douche either lives (or frequents) my apartment building in the city, and everytime I have the misfortune of running into him on the elevator he REEKS of cigarettes, booze, and b.o.
um…..if he's such a great friend of Mariahs - why's he begging the manager to be in the next video…….tragic.
hey = do you suppose they employed the same photoshop artist? The one above and the OUT cover seem remarkably similar in fantasy.
How old is Jacobs anyway?
Like Halston
and His Hookers:
This is herstory repeating itself.
Yes alleged man of "great taste"
likes em rough, street and to be used.
Dont' worry Markie you'll be feeling better and back on your knees in no time!
Jason Preston is the HOTTEST guy on the PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a shame the fag has to rip up a classic Iron Maiden t-shirt.
kinda weird with him being marc jacobs' boy and all…and not to wear one thing by marc jacobs in his photo shoot.
it's weird with him being marc jacobs' boy and all…and to NOT wear ONE item of marc jacobs in his photo shoot.
I bet this Boy STINKS real bad.
Even in his photoshop glory - sketchy at best.
WTF Jacobs??
BTW - who's the hottie to the right of MAdge?? WOOF WOOF WOOF.
Now he's a HOTTIE!!
shallow, pretentious boob.
I think he is a hot mess and he looks amazing all the time. and i believe what he says
I wonder if he started getting a MARc tattoo, but then they had a fight, so he switched it to MARiah
I like him.
I seriously can't get over how many people have so many negative comments to say about me & my interview when it was nothing but positive. It really saddens me that people who have never met me have to write such cruel & malious comments. Every answer I gave came from my heart. In the end only god can really judge me. Til that day I'll keep walking with my head up & say fuck you ignorant bitches that are nothing but JEALOUS. The JEALOUSY is so OBVIUOUS is sickens me…Whatever!!!
IF I WAS YOU I'D HATE ME TOO!!!!!!
He is soooooo hot. Too bad he's gay. Yummy, except for the dripping a-hole.
That was a fun interview to read, especially the ending
. Never heard of this guy before but already I wish he was my bud. He really comes across as down-to-earth, sane and intelligent which are not the first adjectives that would jump to my mind when viewing his photo. F me, why are the hot guys always gay? SNF!
Sucky Sucky five dollah
TAKE A LOOK AT THAT PIC KIDS.
THATS YOU ON METH.
GOT IT?
Wow. I thought he was fuckin' HOT till I saw that lame Mariah tattoo. How is it that having that gross pig's name on his stomach didn't make the Iron Maiden shirt burst into flames?
I REALLY hope these two get married. Mariah, Naomi, and Lindsay as bridesmaids?? The ceremony would be more than "fierce", it would be a WWE Smackdown Match. Poor L. would get ripped to shreds in a matter of seconds, but Mariah and Naomi going at it would be worth seeing. Plus, with two gay men, the music at the reception is guaranteed to be awesome.
i love the thundercats tat…..he's so hot.
cumstain- he'll ruin mj
Sorry number 31, JoJo, but I have never wanted to, or would ever do what this idiot has done. If you knew him at all, and I admit he can be very charming when you first meet him, you would know what a loser he is. Why am I so brutal and adament about this? Because I just can not stand when the gay community embraces these good for nothings, because he has a cute face and nice set of abs, and suddenly they become a symbol of what gay life should be. He is a drug addicted star fucking whore, Yes that is who he really is, he is no gay hero or anyone you would want to know, that is not my life, nor any of my gay friends, and nor do I want it to be. The minute Jacobs dumped him he was thrown out of every club in the city and all his "Friends" wanted nothing to do with him. This interview is a joke just printed to make him look like he has some sort of morals.
just you wait,
when this ho gets old marc is going to dump him for some younger and hotter boy toys. and no, no one is jealous of you coz your bf is marc jacobs…maybe some teenage girl saving 5 bucks a day for a god damn louis coin purse. seriously, be proud of what you've achieved, not whose ass you've kissed.
All I can say is this man is HOT.
Jason, if that's you–TOUGH SHIT IF YOU DON'T LIKE THESE COMMENTS. Don't give interviews any more. You're absolutely, embarrassingly, illiterate; your self-justifications are just the flailings of the drowning. Just because you mean what you say doesn't make you intelligent. Stay out of the public eye and no one gives a shit. But that wouldn't help your "party promotion," would it? Get used to it, unique snowflake.
What a fuckin' douche.
Who cares about the mariah tat. Its all about the THUNDERCATS on his arm =)
Yum.
Who cares about the mariah tat. Its all about the THUNDERCATS on his arm =)
helping NYC get a little less cool.
Marc Jacobs, I am so fuckin jealous!! Damn he is Yum Yum!!
ps. Marc Jacobs is my god!!
If he is such a great guy and has lots of friends, isn't it funny that he only tattoos his FAMOUS friends on his body? Oh by the way Jason. If you have to show Mariah your tattoo by sending a picture to her manager then you might not want to brag that you guys are friends. He is SO impressed by fame that if Jacobs dumped him he'd probably move on Merv Griffin, he'd just show up at the grave yard with a shovel and a bottle of cheap wine.
Uhhhh! I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth! How can you take anyone serious with a 'Mariah' tatoo AND a THUDERCATS tat??? Now I know why I don't live/hangout/party in L.A.
DAAAAAAAMMMN
I agree with you Jason. People seem to be green with envy. Ignore them.
Isn't Marc and his so called "Boyfriend" Jason positive? Ya we are alll JEALOUS of you!
what a dickhead.
Ignore us, Tori? This idiot can't possibly ignore us–he's too insecure for that. He's already responded to us, it's too late. Run along now, honey. Jason's too busy setting up his Derek Zoolander AIDS Foundation…of course, check back with him in a year or so–nothing will have happened on that front, either. But he cares! He told us so! He's not just stupid, he's AUTHENTICALLY stupid.
I think he and MARC need to take care of their own AIDS and METH problems… did this guy also talk about being a prostitute!!! hahahaha
He is beautiful.
Damn.
Re: why – Issiah's was mean-spirited and inspired by truth. Jerry's… was stupid, and makes me dislike him geatly, but let's face it, who doesn't have some idiot straight-boy friends who (no matter how many times you tell them) call each other "fag" once in a while, before catching themselves?
I had the Pleasure of working for MJ in New York for many years and one of my many memories was how odd and cute Marc was. He was just sweet with his little skateboard. Now it's like he's done a total 360. I don't know this guy Jason but from what I do know from friends of his in SF is that he an ambitious Mother Fucker who got very lucky … I really do hope he loves Marc . It's also my understanding that friends like Sophia and Kim have stayed away because they do not approve of his relationship with Jason. If Jason thinks people like Lindsay and Naomi are "good Friends" that he obviously has a thing for people who are insecure, addicts, self destructive, and delusional. I'm sure everyone has their faults and what not but Jason Honey listen to your answer like "He’ll show me sketches and I’ll be like, “That’s dumb” or “That’s pretty”—shit like that". It just shows to everyone what we know. A kid who needs a lot of growing up to do.
Ms. Preston or Mrs. Jacobs or whatever you want to be called:
Girl, you are just like your party in NYC : A HOT MESS!
You need serious help. No one gives a shit who you know or who you fuck. You are a tacky drug addicted low life. I have learned from these comments that you are HIV+ as well and possibly MJ as well. You need to stop doing interviews and if you are going to keep doing interviews honey, consider this: telling THE TRUTH! What a concept, huh?
Jason girl, you are a whore, hired by Tom Weise and Co. from Rentboy.com. You are a crystal meth addict. You are sick with AIDS.
Most of all, people dislike you not because of the above mentioned items, but because you are a slut who uses people and you are not a nice person either. You are tacky and disgusting. In person you look worse than in photos. All you got going is your abs girl, and not even your abs salvage the rest of you.
Take your fucking Cartier ring and shove it up your ass. Mandy Moore's people wouldnt even let you near her at the Dedication premiere in NY girl. And then you made that comment that: "Mandy Moore, I dont care a bout that talentless bitch. Lindsay is so much hotter and a better singer and actress"
You are partially correct: Mandy is the better singer Lohan acts better.
You, Ms. Preston, however, have no talent not even sucking dick or getting fucked girl!
You aint Kelly Preston's family either, so stop spreading that lie. The Travoltas are too good to even look in your direction, honey!
OMG…he's totally hot! If he wasn't gay and taken I'd Fuck him every way possible.
Yummm
I know I'm a sick whore. But I'm richer than you all. I use Marcus Jacobs for $$$$.
I went to the DEDICATION premiere & I was invited by Mandy . Thats funny!!!
WHY MUST PEOPLE MAKE UP LIES?
Sorry Jason, but neither I nor Jon Leshay invited you to the Dedication premiere. You won a pass from Harvey Weinstein's website. Please do not mention Jon Leshay or Jillian Fowkes or Mandy Moore again unless you would like possible legal consequences. We like Marc too much to allow his finances wasted on you for court and legal fees, Jason Preston.
I love professional hanger ons. I hope he doesn't have HIV or AIDS.
Jason, I was there too and Mandy didnt even look your way, hun. I saw you approach her bodyguard and get denied. Please stop, you are making Marc look terrible during fashion week. It is bad enough he hired Lauren Conrad of The Hills to walk his show this week in NYC.
HA HA HA! Ms. J Preston got SERVED by Mandy Moore's publicist and manger on perezhilton.com LOL LOL LOL
SERVED FIERCE GIRL!
Now go smoke and slam aka shoot up some Tina aka Crystal MEth
oh yes he is hot like mark jacobs 2 hot pieces of a**
Lies girl Mandy doesnt even know you. Her publicist Jillian Fowker and manager Jon LEshay do not know YOU GIRL GET OVER YOURSELF
Re: Jillian Fowkes and Jon Leshay –
Jillian your an idiot!!!! I saw Mandy talking to him, so that's bs. You people are pathetic!!!!jason is a nice guy!!!xoxoxoxo
Re: jason preston – lol you GOT SERVED GIRL
