JSYK : Project Runway green lit for Aug 20 on the "Mommy may I sleep with danger" net


IF YOU'RE NOT A FASHIONISTA LIKE ME, READ ON. While most of you fashion types have already been clued in to WTH is going on with the Project Runway drama and its unknown return, here's some facts:


  • The show returns to TV on a different network and a different location. Debuts on Lifetime and the city is now Los Angeles.
  • Apparently all three entities (NBC Universal, The Weinstein Company and Lifetime Television) sued, countersued each other. Honestly who cares? Just get Heidi back on-air. What greed.
  • The show has a new production company, Bunim-Murray (the Real World team)
  • "Please don't forget to accessorize from the bluef...oops Macy's shelves" this time
  • No more Saturn Astras for the winners but a trip to Paris for 2.
  • Los Angeles is the new locale because of the celebrity quotient, something apparently NYC doesn't have. Hence, the themes of the beach and red carpet are highlighted. Although location will alternate between both cities for every season.
  • With Hollywood you get celebrity judges. Lindsay Lohan, Christina Aguilera and Rebecca Romijn guest.
  • 30-minute spinoff Models Of The Runway premieres.
Given its worldwide success, PR will prosper no matter where the drama plays out. Apparently it's what Lifetime needs to boost their under 38 viewership, instead of their slightly older 47 demographic. Mother May I Sleep with Heidi (or Tim)?
