America's Next Top Model's Miss J (Alexander) and Mister Jay (Manuel) are getting their own show, far, far away from that crazy monster known as Tyra Banks. The problem? The new show's premise has already been done before. Many, many times.
Here's the description of the new Operation Fabulous:
'Jay and J' (as Manuel and Alexander are called on Top Model) will travel the country giving women makeovers. In various towns, the duo will select five participants and give them Top Model-style overhauls — how to dress, wear their hair and makeup and bring out their confidence with the support of family, friends and their community.
Oh man, that show is awesome! Remember when it was called Tim Gunn's Guide to Style? Or How to Look Good Naked? Or What Not to Wear? Or Queer Eye For the Straight Guy?

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).

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?"

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?????????
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."
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."

It's official: Tim Gunn should create his own language. With such gems as "grandma jezebels" and "mannish in her dress," he has become the most charming man alive. Feel free to find other Gunnisms of your own and use them in everyday conversation.
