Hundreds of Sacramento-area students rallied to support four students suspended for wearing anti-gay shirts. One participant said: "It's only going to get worse against Christians. We're going to get persecuted more and more. But those who stand to the end: God is going to save them." Um, right...

Signs On For Runway's Fourth Go

happygunn.jpg
Tim Gunn may be getting his own Bravo show - the not-so-ingeniously entitled Tim Gunn's Guide To Style - but that doesn't mean the fashion maven won't be returning for the fourth season of Project Runway.

Despite conjecture that the gray-haired gay had gone his own way, Gunn confirms he will, in fact, join Michael Kors, Nina Garcia and the radiant Heidi Klum for the stitch-heavy show:

I am thrilled to make it official that I will be back in the workroom for season four of Project Runway. We are in the midst of casting the designers now, and I can already see that it will be another amazing season.
Not according to TMZ, which reported last week that turn out for the New York Los Angeles auditions proved so abysmal, producers "scrambled" to find some new up-and-comers.

Whatever. As long as Gunn has enough money for his miniature French chateaus, it's all good.

Will Television Ever Be The Same?

gunn2.jpg
Okay, don't panic. Nothing's been confirmed, but there's some pretty unsettling talk that Tim Gunn maybe may not possibly appear on the fourth season of Bravo's Project Runway.

It seems his role as fashion den mother's been cutting into his other Parson's related duties. (Walking into the studio, looking at a piece and shrugging is far more time consuming than you think.) People reports:

His responsibilities as chair of the fashion design department at New York City's Parsons school, where Gunn, 53, has worked for 23 years, make him unavailable for filming during the academic year.

In an attempt to quell rumors - and, no doubt, worldwide rioting - the show's producers insist they'll work around everyone's schedules to bring viewers yet another season of inseam infighting. Well, that's a relief.

Now, we understand Gunn's a big wig at the esteemed fashion school, but we can't help but think the real scheduling conflict arises more from his totally geeky, yet undeniably cool love for miniature houses than his duties counseling Parson's coked-out, bipolar fashionistas.

With Architecture, That Is.

gunn.jpg
We know you guys are going through serious Project Runway withdrawl, so we'd like to direct you to a very Tim Gunn "Possessed" installment from The New York Times. Following the "Possessed" tradition of delving into the homes of notable names, David Colman explores the inner workings of Gunn's Greenwich Village apartment.

Among the personal and anecdotal knick knacks, Gunn yaks about his love for miniature archictectual sets: a passion born from a boyhood calendar containing sets of diminutive, build-em-yourself French chateaus.

He's moved on since then, replicating some of the world's most famous buildings. But, don't think he's limited to historical wonders. Gunn's been commissioned by the most famous woman in the universe: Barbie.

In later years his lucky younger sister had her own architect on hand to assemble Barbie’s many residences. “Barbie’s town house, the pool and cabana, the sweet shop: I built them all,” he said.

Sure, Gunn's interest in constructing mock buildings may sound a bit grannyish - not incidentally, it was his grandmother who gave him the first calendar - but it also seems pretty cool.

Although, it'd be more if Gunn imagined his own edifices. Like in Lego's. There could be a drawbridge, a dragon watch tower, a pirate's plank, a monorail and a launching pad for the spaceship. It'd be neat.

It's Bigger Than All Of Us!

For those of you who watch Project Runway, you'll probably be interested to hear that Jeffrey Sebelia, whose attitude and (lack of?) skills have drawn the ire of more than a few fashion loving homos, came under fire toward the end of filming.

It seems that fellow contestant Laura Bennett accussed Sebelia of cheating after his final collection came out looking a little to seamless. Tim Gunn (pictured), everyone's favorite monotonous mentor, had traveled to Cali to check out Sebelia's progress and found it a bit rough. His mother, in turn, told Bennett's mother about Gunn's statements. So, when Sebelia showed up with a polished collection, Bennett got a bit suspicious, leading to an investigation into Sebelia's methods and possible manipulations.

New York Magazine's Jada Yuan writes:

...Bennett told the producers she believed Sebelia had outsourced his sewing—which would disqualify him. “His collection was very ambitious,” says Gunn. “I wasn’t born yesterday.” Adding fuel to the fire was Sebelia’s rather unfinished style of construction throughout the show. “We took the accusation very seriously, and we did a very intense and thorough investigation,” says Gunn.
