Monday gossip - new PS3 controller (fake), relationship (tenuous)

Among the biggest (ahem) stories on the blogosphere today - Lucasarts was thought to have unveiled a new PS3 controller on its Star Wars: Force Unleashed website. As spotted by Kotaku and others, just go to the Unleashed site and look at the image of the PS3 pad beneath where it says videogame details. You've no doubt spotted that the D-Pad and left analogue controller have swapped places.

Is this a glance at the new PS3 rumble controller? Or is it some kind of error?

UPDATE:Yes, as reader Ronnelund has pointed out in the comments section, it's a fake, probably used in error by a picture researcher with seemingly no access to official Sixaxis images. Of course, everyone should have spotted the lack of a PS button...

The only other gossip today (and it's top ten on most of the aggregation sites) is a piece of personnal tittle-tattle concerning two reasonably well-known members of the industry who may or may not be seeing each other on a romantic basis. How weird to find this kind of Pop Bitch fluff worming its way into the videogame media. Does this mean we finally have videogame stars, or that videogame news sites are updating too regularly with too little to say ?
