Project Runway: Don't Fight. You're All Staaahhhhs!

Picture 1-19
The neck fight is over. Let the cat fights begin!

It's feast or famine over at Project Runway. We've been starving for our favorite fashion show ever since Harv Weinstein and Jeff Zucker got their necks all inflated over legalities, but now that that's settled, prepare for an onslaught! Season 6 will finally air on Lifetime at the end of August, Season 7 is shooting and will be in the can by the end of Season 6, and the cherry on top? Project Runway All Stars!!

Unfortunately, it will just be a two hour special event the week before Season 6 airs and not a full season, but it should be pretty amazing, if only to see which popular designer Kenley decides to steal from this time. So far, other than psycho girlfriend throw a cat at your head Kenley Penly, the returning designers include Chris March, Jeffrey Sebelia, Michael Knight, Daniel Vosovic, Santino Rice, Sweet P, and Cut Toe Momolu. Jeffrey, Santino and Kenley? Three villains! Good things come in threes. So, apparently, do bad people. YAAAYYY!!

Wondering where some of your other favorites are? Christian Siriano, Rami Kashou, Jack Mackenroth, Kit Pistol and Laura Bennett have all turned it down. Which means they don't need the money. Well done! Good to see people getting real careers after this show! I am sure the same thing's gonna happen for the "designers" on Bravo's cheap, embarrassing knockoff, The Fashion Show. NOT!

I have to say, I'm equally impressed and disappointed that neither Blayne or Suede are on the list. Those guys really looked like they were going somewhere. HAHAHA. Who would you like to see added to the All-Stars list?

Is Project Runway confusing its Fergies?

We can't get away from those fat girls! This morning there's word that Fergie has been approached to be a judge on Project Runway. No, not that Fergie. The original Fergie. The one on the left. Sarah Ferguson. The Duchess of Pork. York.

Prince Andrew's randy 47-year-old ex-wife and former Weight Watchers poster girl with the plummy British accent had been in talks to appear as a contestant on Dancing with The Stars before producers nabbed Paul McCartney's controversial one-legged "charity campaigner" ex-wife, Heather Mills (a more current British tabloid scandal figure seeking a career in the States).

Tim Gunn gets a "sassy" sidekick

Someone at Bravo decided that Tim Gunn of Project Runway was too snooty and stylish to star alone in a show called Tim Gunn's Guide To Style, so they announced a search for a down-to-earth sidekick to make him more approachable-- sort of like the case of Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric-- or The Brain and Pinky.

Now, with production underway this week in New York, they've found a second banana to keep him real. And who could be more down to earth than snooty former supermodel Veronica Webb-- or, as Bravo calls her, "supermodel, actress, writer, and journalist" Veronica Webb, brought into Tim's show to "add a little sass to his class."

Uh, We've met Veronica, who's a favorite of (Runway producer) Harvey Weinstein. "Sassy" isn't a word we'd use. Could they have confused her with Tyra Banks?

Heidi Klum has an eye infection

Our favorite Teutonic supermodel-judge-host Heidi Klum appeared on Germany's Next Top Model with a fetching facial accessory. Either that or Seal misplaced his codpiece.

(And yes, we're accepting captions.)

Bravo works that formula

sally.jpgcojo.jpgBravo continues to feed that upscale reality competition machine. Last night's finale of Top Design was followed by the premiere of the top hairstylist series Shear Genius, with old Jaclyn Smith and the woman who created Meg Ryan's messy hairdo-- who for the first fifteen minutes of the show we thought was Steven Cojocaru-- in the Todd Oldham-Jonathan Adler roles. (Or is it the Padma Lakshmi-Tom Colicchio roles? Or Heidi Klum-Tim Gunn?)

Bravo's announced that season three of Top Chef will kick off in the summer-- probably after the finale of the haircut show. Sublime hostess Padma (who's allegedly splitting from trophy husband Salman Rushdie) will have to find a Florida pot connection, because the production will be moving from los Angeles to Miami Beach. Queer Eye's Ted Allen will join Tom and Gail Simmons as judge. The show's expected to air in the time Project Runway last year.

So when will we see the Big Kahuna?
