Every week, a bunch of “real” people say really stupid things on reality TV. These are their stories.

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."
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?
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?
Project Runway judge and catchphrase coiner Tim Gunn on lady style of the presidential campaign:
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?????????
• 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]
• You want mayo and shrimp on that pizza slice? Why are puking everywhere? [CityRag]
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."
FIEEEEEEEEEERCE! "On Monday, the Weinstein Co., which produces Bravo signature series 'Project Runway,' said it was moving the show to Lifetime in a five-year deal, starting with its sixth season in November. Bravo parent company, NBC Universal, was not particularly pleased with the news and countered by filing a breach-of-contract lawsuit against the Weinstein Co. aimed at preventing 'Runway's' run to Lifetime."
A coming-out party was held for Project Runway winner Christian Siriano last night at the Hollywood Roosevelt. The fierce tranny mess is busy these days, designing clothes for Victoria Beckham, visiting Jay Leno Friday night and making a dress for Kimberley Locke's American Idol appearance.
Perhaps the most exciting development, however, is Christian's return to TV: An Ugly Betty appearance is reportedly in the works. Prepare to overdose on the word "fierce."

Amy Poehler's genius impression of Christian Siriano on this weekend's Saturday Night Live caught the attention of the Project Runway winner, also known as Ferocia Coutoura:
I thought it was SO FUNNY. Amy [Poehler] looked exactly like me which is kinda scary, but fabulous. The fact that they are even talking about me is so fierce, fabulous and flawless and is such an honor. [Poehler] was hilarious and little. It was so crazy that she looked just like me! The hair was absolutely perfect. I don’t think I could have done it better myself. It was fierce!
… Ferocia needs a new vocab. Stat.
Tim Gunn deals with a lot of divas as the mentor on Project Runway, but in a recent interview he revealed that he has been known to throw a diva tantrum from time to time.
His worst moment happened on the set of his show, Tim Gunn's Guide to Style. While filming a scene where he gives the subjects a copy of his book, Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style, he has a little run-in with a new director that results in a mild temper tantrum. And yet we still believe this man can do no wrong. CONTINUED »
Everyone's favorite diva, Christian Siriano, won Project Runway last night. Upon winning, he declared that he needs a "VAY-CAY," also known as a "breaky break."
