John Galliano was enjoying a few drinks last night at a cafe in Paris until he got in a verbal altercation with a couple and got arrested. Police sources say Galliano, the head designer of luxury house Christian Dior, was insulting the couple with anti-Semitic remarks. Or calling them "Asian"? LOL WTF? Yikes! Do we have another Mel Gibson on the loose? Dior, part of the LVMH empire, has released a statement stating that Galliano has been suspended from all his duties because the house "affirms with the utmost conviction its policy of zero tolerance towards any anti-semitic or racist words or behaviour." Awaiting the results of the inquiry, Galliano is suspended indefinitely for his alleged racial slurs. This is pretty big news in the fashion world, considering Galliano's celebrity status as a designer. If you're not familiar, here are 5 things you need to know about John Galliano:
