Watch What Happens

...Or what's NOT happening on Bravo come November.

And that's PROJECT RUNWAY.

That's right, according to What the Buck and verified by The Hollywood Reporter, the Weinstein Company, which produces the show, have just signed a deal that will move ProRun to Lifetime for the next five years, beginning with season 6. While it's good news for ProRun fans - FIVE MORE YEARS!!! - it's going to be kinda awk for guys (like me) who like to watch it, as many will recall that Lifetime's slogan is "Television for Women."

But the bad news continues: it appears that judge Nina Garcia has "resigned" from her job as fashion director of Elle magazine, though the condition of that resignation was that her contract was up for renewal, pointing to the possibility that she was in fact fired.

So this is two huge changes for one of my fave shows on TV. Nina Garcia has been with the show since its inception, and unless she gets another high-ranking fashion magazine job, my guess is that she's "out" for season 5. The show is also jumping networks, which is a questionable move on the part of the Weinsteins: Harvey believes it'll allow the show to reach its full potential.

It should be noted that NBC Universal, which owns Bravo, has filed a lawsuit claiming breach of contract. Another interesting tidbit: the Weinsteins plan to produce a new series called "Models of the Runway," which will be ProRun through the eyes of the models, launching in November of 08 along with season 6.

Oh, and season 5 starts in July. And season 6 in November. So there's like 3 seasons of Runway this year. XD

Project Runway!

Tonight's the night peeps!
We will find out who wins! Will it be Rami, Jillian or Christian??
Drop your bags, put your laptops to sleep, throw your books and RUN to the nearest TV. If there's someone watching some artsy movie, KICK THEM OUT and tune in to Bravo at 10pm!!!!!

My Take: I REALLY hope Rami does NOT win. I will literally throw something at the TV or hurt one of my co-viewers if that happens. My favourite is Christian (f-ing fierce), but if Jillian wins, at least she's very talented. What do YOU think?

btw, interested in a VERY funny take and live-blogging for Project Runway? Go to http://projectrungay.blogspot.com/ it's hilarious, have fun pple!

Reunion? Psh. More like a Roast.

Wednesday night at 10:00 p.m. aired the reunion show of Season 4 of Project Runway!

By far the highlight of the night was not the contestants, but rather host/judge Heidi Klum, who appeared to be on.... something. There were several memorable moments instantly created when she opened her mouth.

Victorya got dug into by both Tim and Heidi, who said that she was a "bit uptight." Victorya repeatedly denied this, until Heidi just stopped short of calling her a bitch: "Well.... I think you were."

Also, Chris was made fun of horribly; an intense montage was aired showing all the times he laughed, preceded by a terrifying Chris impression by none other than Mrs. Seal herself.

A very-well-put-together segment making fun of Kevin's straightness was also aired; the best part was him telling his girlfriend that he had a lot of other girlfriends there "of the different sex.... I mean of the same sex!"

It seems that every reality show has someone who takes it a little too seriously, and season 4 of ProRun was no different: Carmen was the sore loser in this case. She complained that she didn't feel as if she was wanted after she was eliminated.... She felt hurt that "Sweet Pea said she was glad [she] was gone." Almost everyone comforted her; Sweet Pea did not. CONFIRMED.

An awesome segment featuring the wild and wacky world of Elisa was also shown, including the now-infamous "spit mark."

Finally, CHRISTIAN was declared Fan Favorite and won $10,000!!

We can't wait to see what happens next - we're rooting for Christian to win it all! He's FIERCE!! What about you??
