The new season of Top Chef has two gays. [AfterElton]

  2 Responses


Since Friday's announcement that a court ruling would keep The Weinstein Company from moving Project Runway from NBC Universal's Bravo to Lifetime, where it got a sweeter deal, the TV press and most homosexuals have been wondering what, exactly, this means for the future of the series.

Is Heidi Klum going to lose her shit and auf everybody? Is Tim Gunn going to be able to make it work? Who will Nina Garcia stab with her heel? Time-sensitive questions, people! So given the current situation — which keeps Lifetime from airing the show, and leaves its status on Bravo with a very giant cursive question mark — here's how the decision is going to affect interested parties…

"I just got wind of a new reality show Bravo is currently casting around town. It's all about fag hags, or as they're more properly called, Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys. That happens to be the name of the show and it's also the title of the compilation book it's based on." Gawd! [Daily Musto]

Upsetting homosexuals everywhere, Lifetime will not air its first season of Project Runway this fall, but instead move the stolen series to a January debut.

It's a pretty surprising development, given all the hype Harvey Weinstein leveraged as he cajoled the B-list network into paying a higher fee for the franchise.

How do you let the execs behind your show know that you’re pissed about all the sweeping changes that they’re making?

If you’re Cindy McCain critic Tim Gunn and have the uncertainty of what lies ahead for Project Runway, you start sniping away at the brand any opportunity you get.

While Runway’s fifth season begins the march to its end on Bravo on Wednesday, Gunn, who has signed to remain with the show when it moves to Lifetime, can be seen planting seeds of negativity…

Jackie Warner better watch her back.

Some of the lesbian gym bunny's fans were none-too-pleased with her performance on last night's Work Out, during which she fired one of her impossibly annoying trainers. And, as a means of venting their frustration, these "fans" are petitioning Bravo to cancel Warner and her "bad behavior." Here's what one mutinous lady-lover said about Warner:

Last night was the final straw for lots of fans. They feel that Jackie is a poster child for bad behavior, [a] very negative icon for the gay and lesbian community.

I am a lesbian.This woman’s behavior in the workplace is really awful.

Should lesbians act any differently, especially when being taped for reality television?

We don't watch the show - reality scares us! - but these people must be overreacting, right? It's television, people!

You can't have Warner running around being cuddly and cute, can you? That does nothing to quench the world's woeful interest in fabricated nonfiction.

We do, however, think that Warner deserves a finger-wagging for this terrible tan job! Shame on you, Jackie!

The GLAAD Media Awards may be causing some residual drama.

Cable channel Bravo paid an unspecified sum to air the entire event next month, but a reader speculated that queer-centric Logo, an MTV property, decided to play a little game of "gotcha" with the awards.

Gays are worried that lady-loving (not like that) Lifetime will castrate the queer from newly-purchased Project Runway. Runway blogger Tom Fitzgerald kvetched, "It has a very large gay viewership. It has a very large straight viewership that likes the fact that it’s an urban, intelligent, creative reality show. Our hope is that they don’t forget that." They'd be complete fucking morons if they did… [Observer]

Another day, another reality show gay porn scandal.

First we had American Gladiators' Militia's flaming film history. Then we had Idol contestant David Hernandez's stripper past. And now we have Michael Sila from Step It Up and Dance, who must have needed a little cash - or attention - because he stripped down for Latin Boyz.

The shots definitely give new meaning to Mike's motto, "life is my canvas, the beat is my soul, crank it up and watch me roll."

Dive into that there jump if you want to take a look at Mike's - well, everything…

The pictures are NSFW, obviously.

The quiet media war over the gays took a bewildering turn today: 'gina-centric Lifetime snatched up Bravo's mega-hit, Project Runway. Meanwhile, Bravo owning NBC/Universal has launched a lawsuit against the Weistein brothers, who produce the show and called the lawsuit a way to ‘disrupt the series moving to Lifetime.’. [Jossip]

Christian Siriano took the top prize on Bravo's Project Runway last night. What do you think, readers, did this pint-sized cutie deserve to win?

Also, on a related note, are you as in love with Siriano as we are? Too bad he's dating occasional Queerty photographer, Brad Walsh. Damn you, Walsh! Damn you…

The Jossip kids are all sorts of gay today! We're always laming, but our siblings offer up some queer tid-bits, as well.

First up, Lance Bass loving Whitney laments the boy bander's visit to Bette Midler's The Showgirl Must Go On last night. You gossip mongers should note that Lance is pictured with Ben Thigpen. Glad to see they worked through that alleged skid.

Meanwhile, over in Jossip land, tongues are wagging over some love connection speculation: "After watching the Project Runway Reunion Special last night, did anyone else think that Chris March and Rami were together?"

And, finally, we have Janet Jackson on Vibe over at Stereohyped.

Jackson's not a lezzy, but we won't hold it against her.

Iowa wore us out last night, so we decided to zone out with Bravo's Make Me A Supermodel. Honestly, there's nothing super about this Tyson Beckford/Niki Tayor hosted show. It looks low budget and neither model host has enough personality to hold our attention. In fact, the only person who piqued our interested was 22-year old model named Shannon, who's apparently a man.

My name's Shannon, and one of the most interesting facts about me is that despite my extremely feminine physical appearance, I'm actually a man…I'm one of the most masculine girls you'll ever meet. I'm like one of the boys.

Cue snickers from gawking, lanky models and hosts.

Jack Mackenroth needs no introduction, we're sure.

We all know the designer from Project Runway. We all know he left the Bravo reality show after developing a antibiotic resistant staph infection, but bounced back like a champ. And, of course, we all know he looks good naked.

We bet there's plenty you don't know about handsome Mackenroth. For example, do you know how many siblings he has? Do you know what went down when he found out he's HIV positive? Why doesn't he talk to his father? What's his next step? These questions and many more will be answered in this installment of The Home Issue!

(PS: Mackenroth appeared on NBC Nightly News last night to talk about MRSA. The video's after the jump - on page three, to be exact.)

There's some "incestual" gay love in the air. Bravo's OutZone nailed the "exclusive" that Top Chef's Dale Levitski and Project Runway's Jack Mackenroth have come together. No word on whether they've cum together. Here's what the boys have to say about their publicity-ready romance:

Jack: "It's very baby steps. I really like him a lot. And geography is a bit of an issue, but we'll see where it goes. I like him a lot. I assume he likes me a lot. Unless he's lying…(laughter)… He's adorable. I like keeping it incestual, keep it in the Bravo family."

Dale: "Yeah, we randomly met over Myspace. And then we bumped into each other at the Out 100 party and clicked. He's hilarious. We're just gonna roll with it and see what happens. And he's cute as %&#@. We have the same sense of humor. We giggle a lot, and you know, anytime you end up going through the Bravo-reality-show…we just looked at each other and said, 'yeah…'"

Alright, Dale, you sort of lost us toward the end, but we're picking up what you're laying down, except for the "%&#@". We don't speak censored, unfortunately.
