As if it weren't already too much of a propaganda channel programmed to let us baby killers on the coasts cram our ideas of fun – fashion, haute cuisine, gays – down the throats of the red states, Bravo is now cooking up a show whose pomposity handily trumps Top Chef and Proj Run: "'Polo,' a docu-series about polo players and their significant others."
How exciting! Now, as the economy slows to a trickle, everyone with time to waste from losing their jobs can cozy up to their TVs and watch a show about young rich people in love who play a tremendously expensive game to the delight of older rich people. Doesn't that sound like your idea of fun? You'll finally be able to use "chukker" during Scrabble.
Oh who are we kidding, you won't be able to afford cable or Scrabble by the time Polo airs. Forget we mentioned it.
Jennifer Lopez has revealed plans to ruin Sex and the City, assuming there is anything left to destroy. The TV series that inspired thousands of insipid 20-somethings to move to NYC and attempt to recreate the show's plotlines is already in talks to develop a movie sequel — and J.Lo wants in. According to Jenny From the Block, she adores SATC and "nearly popped up in the TV show but then did Will and Grace instead." That's a good way to woo them, Jen — reveal that the show was your second choice.
And while we're discussing Jennifer's stints on television, we're surprised that her life-threatening foot injury has already healed. You remember: The one that allowed J.Lo to run in a triathlon but prohibited her from sitting in front of a camera? What happens if she suffers a relapse during filming? We're genuinely concerned.

Brad Pitt's photography is finally ready for public consumption, thanks to the latest issue of W magazine. The beautiful actor shot multiple pictures of his significant other, Angelina Jolie, and the couple's army of children. The photos are gorgeous, of course, but we are a little perplexed by Angie's strange ability to turn into insufferable Project Runway contestant Kenley Collins.

Courtesy a court injunction, The Weinstein Co. can't move Project Runway to Lifetime until NBC Universal gets its say in court.

WAS IT A LEGGINGS CHALLENGE? "When Project Runway returns on Lifetime in 2009, [Lindsay Lohan] will sit in the guest judge's chair for the season premiere. According to Access Hollywood, the 22-year-old — who has been in New York City recently shooting episodes of ABC's Ugly Betty — filmed the premiere episode on Thursday."

You've seen the Project Runway finalists' collections, now click through to get to a link that links to another link of Tim Gunn possibly shaking the maybe-winner's hand. Simple, right?
Remember when Jennifer Lopez pulled out of guest judging the Project Runway finale (leaving Tim Gunn to come to the rescue) after suffering a foot injury? And then two days later she participated in a triathlon? Someone looked into it, and it turns out that "foot injury" was all a sham (allegedly).
Apparently J.Lo was upset at The Weinstein Company (which produces PR) because it failed to offer her a part in an upcoming Weinstein film. She was told Thursday, the day before the PR finale filmed, that she would not be getting the part. Voila! Jennifer got a foot injury and was forced to pull out, much to host Heidi Klum's dismay: "Heidi went from one big-name judge for the finale to none," said a source. "It was embarrassing, especially the excuse that [Lopez] was hurt." Maybe we're crazy, but we'd pick Tim Gunn over Jennifer Lopez any day. Project Runway is better off.
Oh, and for the record, J.Lo's rep denied the allegations (of course).

Today is kind of a milestone of mine, because it's my one year anniversary at Jossip HQ. I started out as an intern over at Jossip.com for a few months before being moved over to Mollygood full-time, so it's not my real first anniversary yet, but I'm sentimental and celebrate anytime I can. I remember showing up at what I have dubbed The Tiniest Starbucks In The World across the street from Bryant Park to interview for the internship and staring across out the window at all of the celebrities and models (and Nigel Barker!). I hadn't a clue I would be there a year later, which is what made this Fashion Week exciting for me. CONTINUED »
The Project Runway finalists debuted their lines this morning at Bryant Park for the last day of Fashion Week. Because Wednesday night's episode left six contestants in the competition, all six presented their showcases, although there are typically only three true finalists. Pictures from each collection, along with our predictions, after the jump. CONTINUED »
Jennifer Lopez remained quite the diva Friday when she backed out of guest judging the Project Runway finale after suffering a foot injury. Because sitting in a chair alongside a runway really puts a lot of pressure on your foot. Look, we understand that a serious injury is painful and requires bed rest and all that, but you know she just has a hangnail of sorts and didn't feel like putting in the extra effort.
The good news is Tim Gunn stepped up in her place to judge the contestants, which is awesome because that means more Tim on our television sets. Here's hoping he reprises his infamous "Holler at your boy" or "Question mark?"

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!
