Not one but two articles in the Sunday Chronicle breathlessly report that our very own lady of sorrows Kimberly Guilfoyle made a potentially-cuddly first appearance during Fashion Week with Eric Villency, the host of the show "iVillage" on the Fine Living channel. (Do we even get that channel out here in SF?) Check out Eric's pouty mug to your left.

Villency is a former Calvin Klein and Abercrombie model, and the president of his family's Maurice Villency furniture business. Here's a picture of him in the New York Social Diary with his ex, Olivia Chantecaille. They achieved some sort of notoriety in the social elite when it turned out they'd hired PR reps to place gossip items about themselves in the papers. It's so nice to see that Kim's finally dating someone who loves being in the media.

The reports call Kimmie and Eric an "instacouple," but take note of Eric's statements about his apartment to HGTV! Speaking of the furnishings in his 1800 sq. ft. Greenwich Village apartment, he says, "I don't have it in here if I don't love it." A good sign, Kim, a good sign! Watch out, though -- in an interview with the magazine One 2 One, Eric warns, "My worst relationship was with someone who was very moody and negative. She dwelled on things that didn’t relate to us or her life. She couldn’t be happy with me, because she couldn’t be happy with herself."
