Downswings

This, ladies and gentleman, is what's passing for a winning design on this dismal season of Project Runway. Yes, we know it was an outfit for drag queens, but come on!

An interesting theory we read on the Internets suggests that Bravo might be intentionally sabotaging Proj Run before it goes away to Lifetime, which is so catty and rude that it makes perfect sense when talking about a reality show about fashion. Discuss!

THE EMMYS JUST LOST ALL STREET CRED "The five nominees for top reality show host are not just up for Emmy awards — they're also going to oversee the entire ceremony! American Idol's Ryan Seacrest, Project Runway's Heidi Klum, Dancing with the Stars' Tom Bergeron, Deal or No Deal's Howie Mandel and Survivor's Jeff Probst have all signed on to co-host the Sept. 21 awards show."

What About Tyra?

We haven't seen Nigel Barker in quite some time and now we know why: He's been busy saving baby seals. Last night he attended an NYC art exhibit titled "A Sealed Fate" with all the big A-listers, like Whitney from America's Next Top Model and some guy from Project Runway. So it's safe to say things aren't looking too good for those seals.

West Hollywood’s apparently not all happy and gay. From a Queerty reader:

Not sure exactly what started it, but last night at The Abbey in West Hollywood, last season Project Runway runner-up Rami Kashou was on the receiving end of a martini glass to the face.

After a brief scuffle, the guy who threw the glass was dragged out by security and Rami, drenched from head to toe in blood, left by ambulance.

We will miss Portfolio's napkin math sessions when the magazine eventually closes. Last month, they calculated the net worth of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven," supposedly the most profitable song ever recorded, which earned an estimated $572 million. Now, they've moved on to other pop culture fare: Project Runway. Just how much is the fashion reality show franchise worth?

Sour Grapes? Sour Publicity

projectrunway5.jpg

Ever since NBC Universal execs learned they would officially be losing Project Runway on Bravo, they’ve been working overtime to tear the brand apart. Why should they bother promoting a show that Harvey Weinstein ripped away from them to take to Lifetime, where he’s set to bag a bigger payday from production and product placement fees?

At first, the negativity was subtle. Bravo execs kept quiet as they stole Runway’s brilliant production team, Magical Elves, away from the show in an exclusive deal. And then the more obvious signs arrived.

Project Runway’s fifth season, and the last for Bravo, premieres on Wednesday. And by the time it arrives, and certainly by the time it wraps, its varnish will be worn, damaged, or gone altogether.

So just how is Bravo systematically sabotaging the Project Runway brand?

Speculation

timgunnsaudi

Um, I think I just saw Tim Gunn carefully surveying a menu in front of a restaurant in Saudi Arabia. I couldn't confirm it was him, because I was with a lot of people who wouldn't "get it," but: that silvern hair!

Anyone know why he might be here? Is this a Proj Run spoiler?????????

Bad Move, Bravo. Literally.

Auf Wiedersehen: "How else will the new non-Bravo Project Runway screw things up, aside from moving to Lifetime and possibly filming without Nina Garcia? By moving to Los Angeles, the city that pretends to be a fashion capital with its own fashion week but is really just a town where Victoria Beckham pushes her crappy jeans at Kitson." [Jossip]

Dennis Rodman! Remember that guy? He got arrested last night for roughing up his girlfriend. Now, go back to forgetting about him. [DListed]

• Surprise: Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon were wed in a secluded island ceremony. Unfortunately, they did not stay there after the wedding. [PS]

Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina, tried to stab her mother. No word yet as to how much of her rage Bobbi Kristina blames on her name. [INO]

Forbes says Gisele Bundchen now makes more money annually than every other person who stands around and has their picture taken wearing clothes and make-up. [ICYDK]

Pete Wentz is being sued for assault and, unfortunately, the case has nothing to do with his music and our ears. [Yeeeah]

TIM GUNN GETS NO CREDIT "The Weinstein Co.'s decision to take Project Runway away from NBC Universal comes down to the same two factors that conspire to destroy every successful entertainment-industry relationship: money and ego. According to more than a half-dozen sources inside or close to both The Weinstein Co., which owns the show, and NBC, Harvey Weinstein felt that Bravo, which aired it, had 'always underpaid' for the show while 'taking all of the credit' for its success."
