  There's one thing critics aren't digging about Bravo's new post-Runway hope, The Fashion Show. And that's Isaac Mizrahi's truly awful catchphrase... Read More...

• Heidi Klum Is Shutting Down The Baby Factory

  Heidi is currently incubating her fourth child. Even as we type, a little bitty babe is gestating inside her, preparing for a long-legged life of flawless physical beauty and throaty vocal stylings. 'Cause that's what happens when your Mama is Heidi don't-look-directly-into-my-hotness Klum and your Daddy's Time Keeps On Slippin' Slippin' Slippin'. That kid, like the other three, is pre-destined for the good life. That kid also might be the last of his or her ilk.   Read More...

• Heidi Klum Gets Psyched For "Project Runway" Season Six, and Baby Number Four [VIDEO]

  Now that Project Runway has finally settled into its new home at Lifetime, can we expect to see host Heidi Klum with another baby bump next season?  Apparently, the answer is yes... Sources confirm that the supermodel mogul is expecting her third child with music-man hubby Seal.  Word of Klum's happy news apparently leaked when sketches of her in a couture gown redesigned for her growing belly had somehow posted on the Internet.  (E! Online) Obviously, the thing that's irritating about Heidi Klum is that it's often difficult to decide whether she looks more stunningly beautiful pregnant or not pregnant.  Added to which, while we're trying to decide, she has the baby, and then it's like, "What? I was pregnant?"  Remember the 2005 Victoria's Secret fashion show, two months after she gave birth to baby number two?  Let us refresh your memory... Click through for video after the jump...

• "Project Runway": Cat Thrower Kenley Collins Pleads Guilty, Judge Practically Asks For Her Autograph

  This sentence will be the new dictionary definition of "lenient." Let's recap: She threw a cat at her sleeping ex-fiancee, then flung apples and a laptop at him, and then, as he was desperately trying to crawl away from this assault, slammed his head in a door. That's the case you were looking at, right, Judge Miriam Cyrulnik? Because if so, this makes no sense. Oh why have you failed us, American judicial system? Read More...

• What's Happening With "Project Runway"?

  With New York's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week '09 in full swing, we find ourselves wondering about the precarious fate of our favorite skill-based, fashion reality show (although in fairness, the competition isn't that severe.

• Heidi Klum Is Too Heavy?

  At least, that's what German fashion designer Wolfgang Joop says, along with a bunch of other catty comments. Perhaps he didn't see the upcoming cover of German GQ.

• Christian Siriano Cuts A Fierce Deal With Payless

  Christian Siriano won Project Runway 4 back in March and since then has gone on to design for Victoria Beckham, Heidi Klum, Anne Hathaway, Whoopi Goldberg, and Ugly Betty, despite being something like twelve years old and therefore the gayest middle-schooler in history. And now he has a new business venture - he's cut a deal to distribute a line of low-price shoes and handbags at Payless next fall. "I want everybody to have a piece of my brand," says Siriano. And, according to him, everybody wants a piece: I have a pretty huge fan base, not to toot my own horn, but a lot of those are 'Project Runway' watchers and they're young. They're in school and aspiring to be artistic and they can't afford my clothes. We'd say the kid is arrogant, except for that old saying: you ain't cocky if you're that good. Imagine what he'll do once he hits puberty. Posted Dec 02 2008, 10:33 AM by Jake Kalish with | with no comments Filed under: Project Runway, fashion, Christian Siriano

• OMG, Daniel V is that you?

  Project Runway fans, you know you miss him.  Season 2 finalist Daniel Vosovic was known for his reserved sass, clean designs, and adorable floppy hair.  Sadly, no contestant’s H has been as adorably floppy in the three seasons since. Ever wonder what Daniel V and his perfect shag have been up to? . . . Read More...

• Tim Gunn Lets It All Hang Out

  Seriously, remember what a whiny nightmare Kenley was on the most recent Project Runway?  Fashion guru Tim Gunn does, and he's sounding off for Entertainment Weekly with a behind-the-scenes look at his relationship with the designers.  Even better, he's not holding any punches.  Apparently, Kenley was even worse off camera -- is that possible? Click through for the scoop on Kenley and Tim's real feelings about season 4 winner, Christian Soriano.  (P.S. our favorite part of the video is the cuts to a Bravo photoshoot where Tim's getting harassed by Atlanta Real Housewife, Ne-ne)...

• "Stylista": Kind of Like High School, But Bitchier

  Here's the thing.  Our feeling about Stylista (the CW's newest competitive reality show) is basically that not unlike it's semi-fictional literary counterpart The Devil Wears Prada, we would've enjoyed it more if it gave us an interesting, nuanced look at working in the fashion industry from the bottom to the top, rather than focusing on the sad attempts of a group of fashion-loving peons to prostrate themselves before a campy, overbearing, power-hungry fashion editor in oversized sunglasses and heels that we swear to God, she removes when she goes off camera.  Turns out, the behind-the-scenes turmoil of Stylista might actually be more interesting than the show...

• "Project Runway": Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner

  Last night, another season of Project Runway came to a close, and yet, we're still not tired of it.  Keep it coming, Heidi Klum, we could go for years yet.

• "Project Runway": Let's Hear It For The Girls

  Despite the barrage of Kenley trashing that went down on the runway last week (we admit that we totally contributed to it off the runway, but she's annoying, no?), it was a quieter, less abrasive Kenley that returned to Parsons after the eight weeks away.  Although, there is still that voice...

• "Project Runway": Tears on My Fabric

  As the episode begins, Kenley's not speaking to Leanne.  She feels Leanne tried to sabotage her during the last challenge by "not selling" her hip-hop outfit on the runway.  Come on, Kenley.  Anyone could see poor, mousy Leanne was giving it her best effort with all that hip-hop shoulder shrugging...

• Top Five Surprising Reality TV Couples

  We were pretty weirded out when Jennifer Hudson got engaged to the guy from I Love New York 2, but then it became like learning a new word -- suddenly there were weird reality TV couples everywhere.  It's kind of blowing our mind, and we're not even counting the shows that are specifically designed for hookup's (The Bachelor, et al) -- do these reality show casts just hang out together and pair off?

• "Project Runway": Why We Hate Kenley

  Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the most annoying designer of them all?  It's obviously Kenley (she of the vintage dresses and incessant giggling).  We just can't take her and her petulant grousing and intolerably nasal whine.  It's been a while since a PR designer has filled us with this much ire.  Last night, we found ourselves bellowing at the TV screen when she chuckled behind her hand at Joe's critique -- her elementary school people skills bring out the rage in us.  Click through last night's worst attempt at professionalism after the jump...

• Wake Up And Smile: Sarah Palin Makes Even "SNL" Look Better Than It Is

  - Tina Fey did a pretty mean impression of McCain's Vice-Presidential nominee on Saturday Night Live's season premiere; too bad the rest of the show did an impression of every cruddy sports-figure-hosted episode ever. (Check out our review and video highlights, coming up next.) - 90210 is going to reveal the father of Kelly's baby tomorrow night. And then someone will probably get fellated. - I, Claudius fans: prepare to get so angry you'll have to breathe into your favorite PBS tote bag just to not hyperventilate. - Tim Gunn filled in last night on Project Runway for Jennifer Lopez, who had been scheduled to be a guest judge but cancelled due to a foot injury. This marked the first time Gunn has ever judged on PR, not to mention the first time that [INSERT WHITE MAN BUTT JOKE HERE]. - Those Seth McFarlane videos did gangbuster business last week, apparently cementing YouTube's position as "the thing that ensures we will someday hate the Internet." - Boy howdy, them Brits sure do love them some Daleks.

• "Project Runway": Double Down

  It always surprises us that Michael Kors can look so jovial and kindly even when saying things like, "you have the worst taste in the history of the world" or "your fashion taste makes me feel like you deserve to die."   Nina Garcia just nods, placing a knuckle thoughfully against her chin as though he's just said something neutral like, "you really should try to use more blue."  We can't argue with him this week though -- some of the looks really did reach a scandalous level of ugly...
