Before we got any further I think it’s important to say that I’m not hating on Canada. (I like to save all my jokes about our neighbors to the North for use on my friend Mark). I’ve only been to Canada a few times but the beer has always treated me well. And would […]

Maureen Ryan has an awesomely substantive interview with "House" producer David Shore that gives a lot of info if you read carefully. Supposedly this is only part of the interview, too. (The Watcher)
Jenny Garth is out of the "My Best Friend’s Girl" comedy pilot, leading to speculation that she may reprise her "90210" character, Kelly, in the new version of that show. Writer Rob Thomas was said to be seeking her. (Hollywood Reporter)
Just one problem. Thomas is stepping back from the "90210" gig to focus on his two other pilots (for ABC), so Fox is looking for a new showrunner. (E! Online)

Last year, Christian Siriano was just another twentysomething aspiring fashion designer with a wacky haircut and an affected lisp. Then came "Project Runway" and now he’s popping up at all the hot Los Angeles and Las Vegas events, like this weekend’s party at Tao.
I wonder if he realizes there’s a lot more to fashion than parties and hair. Obviously he knows it, but if he’s at all those parties he’s not back in his apartment sewing, and I wonder whether he’s going to deliver on all that promising talent, or whether he’s going to just be another flash in the pan.

Bad news for Bravo.  In news that made headlines yesterday it was announced that Bravo’s signature show, PROJECT RUNWAY, will be moving its catwalk to Lifetime next season. NBC, who owns Bravo, was not too happy and has filed a lawsuit.Here’s the skinny (straight from Bob Loblaw’s Law Blog)…
PROJECT RUNWAY is owned by The Weinstein […]

One of my favorite TV writers, Maureen Ryan, had a great conversation with PROJECT RUNWAY star Tim Gunn about the level of talent this season, Christian’s win, and what the future holds for Project Runway contestants. And let me tell you, Mr. Gunn didn’t hold back. He was quite honest and spoke openly […]

His Royal Fierceness, PROJECT RUNWAY winner Christin Siriano appeared as a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today. This kid is crazy talented, and he has won be over despite my early loathing. Here he is talking to Ellen about his style, the support of his family, and his future plans.
And you know you’ve made […]

Just a few weeks ago, I noted that Christian Siriano, the femmiest of the gay designers on "Project Runway," was pretty hypocritical to use "tranny" as an insult. And while it’s his choice if he wants to try and be clever and outrageous, it’s still really annoying to me.

See, when someone like Christian starts saying that, it makes it OK for, say, Amy Poehler to do it. So now she’s gone and dressed up as Christian on "Saturday Night Live" and done a sketch which consists of little more than the words "hot tranny mess" and "fierce." Oh, how outrageous and daring and culturally incisive.
The next step will be frat boys imitating the sketch, followed by frat boys imitating the sketch while beating the living daylights out of the next transsexual they meet.

Now that’s fierce.

It’s not in any way surprising that Christian won "Project Runway" last night, although I’m at least a little surprised at how close the decision was and how genuinely fantastic all the designs were. They really did have a good crop of contestants this year.
Don’t go crying "spoiler" on me. It already happened and it’s on the front page of the "Project Runway" site on BravoTV.com. It’s not like I’m telling you who gets kicked off "Top Chef" next week. (I know who it is, but Bravo sent me a nice note with the screener asking me not to spill the beans, so I won’t. I’m a sucker for a bean-related pun. I will give you details about the show later today, though.)
I’m also impressed by the degree to which Victoria Beckham loved Christian’s outfits: I see a collaboration some time in the future, or possibly a deal with DvB. […]

The "Project Runway" finale is Wednesday, and Bravo’s putting up a great deal of extra footage, including this cute rooftop party moment in which Tim Gunn and Christian Siriano have a walkoff. Tim proves himself too shy, too stiff, and too self-effacing to be truly fierce on the runway. Then, strangely, everything devolves into a tickle fight between Tim and Heidi Klum….

While the strike may be over, we are still weeks away from most of our favorite shows returning to the air in limited new episodes. In the meantime we are saddled with a ton of reality shows like American Idol, Big Brother 9, Survivor, and Project Runway. Don’t worry though, we still have […]
