‘PROJECT RUNWAY’ DISPUTE FINALLY SETTLED

Season 6 of “Project Runway” wrapped a month ago at New York’s Fashion Week, but it has stayed off the air because the Weinstein Company tried to move the show from Bravo to Lifetime, and Bravo’s parent company NBC Universal sued.  Or something like that.  I see anything resembling legal news and I just kind of… I wonder what happened to all my old Star Wars toys.  Are they still in the attic?  Oh, anyway, the case is settled.

NBC Uni was apparently paid multiple millions in the settlement, which also calls for Lifetime to delay the launch of the long-awaited sixth season of “Runway” to mid-August. That gives NBC Uni’s Bravo a free field to launch its “Runway” successor “The Fashion Show” unchallenged.

The two sides finally came to an agreement after Tim Gunn sashayed into the courtroom unannounced and told the lawyers to “Make it work!”  Thank God his catch phrase isn’t “Hold out for something better.”

‘RUNWAY’ FINALIST ATTACKS FIANCE WITH CAT

03.19.09 Written by Matt

kenleyFor those who missed the last season of “Project Runway,” Kenley Collins was likable in the same way that wrestling heels are likable.  In fashion, this translates to her being talented but extremely bitchy.  So it’s not exactly surprising to learn that she assaulted her fiancé Zak Penley with a cat yesterday.

According to law enforcement sources, an enraged Collins woke Penley up just after 7 a.m. by hurling their cat in his face. Then she threw her laptop, and as he fell crawled on the floor, slammed a door on his head.

She threw three apples, and doused him with water, before he was able to dial 911.

“You’re lucky, it could have been worse,” Collins told Penley after the blow, according to sources.

Really?  It can be worse than living with a crazy bitch and a cat?  And your wake-up call is getting a cat thrown at you?  Maybe — maybe – it could have been worse if she had syphilis.  Terminal cancer would be a step up for this guy.

‘PROJECT RUNWAY’ SEASON 6 SPOILER!!!

02.25.09 Written by Matt

With Fashion Week coming to a close last week, there was a lot of talk about “Project Runway.”  Ordinarily, Fashion Week is the backdrop for the “Project Runway” finale, and fans of the show are usually familiar with the finalists showing off their collections.  However, due to lawsuits and counter-lawsuits between NBC Universal (which aired the show on Bravo) and producers the Weinstein Company (which sold the show to Lifetime), Season 6 has been shooting with nowhere to air, forcing last week’s runway show to keep the final designers a secret.

ANYWAY, with that annoying background info out of the way, let’s get to a fun Season 6 spoiler (fun in that it ruins suspense for other people):

Certain secrets about the show came to light… when a few models who were in the show revealed to OK! that there will be three finalists, all of them women, and two of them blonde.

Oh, good.  It’s nice to see blond women finally getting noticed.  And it’s nice to see the gays getting booted off the show.  I’m not homophobic, I just get tired of all the prima donna “Look at me! Here’s my catchphrase” bullshit.  Like, I don’t hate you because you’re gay, I hate you because you’re annoying.  I’m only bigoted against assholes.
