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…

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?

Ellen Barkin and her lips hosted last night's Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards, where Proenza Schouler tied with Oscar de la Renta for the prized womenswear top honor.

Oprah Winfrey, meanwhile, presented Ralph Lauren with American Fashion Legend Award. During his acceptance speech, Lauren told the crowd, "Stick to your guns and enjoy what you're doing. … American fashion is just starting." Not by the looks of these stunning guests…

Stars turned out dressed to the nines, and then some.

• When studio execs first saw footage of Johnny Depp in character as Jack Sparrow for Pirates of The Caribbean, they had but one question: "Is he gay?" Okay, they had two: "Is he drunk?" [Newsweek]

• When Project Runway 3 premieres next month, there will be more to talk about than Heidi Klum's auf wiedersehens. The hot model mama is expecting her second child with husband Seal. [People]

• Jay-Z's feud with Cristal continues. Not only did he pull the champagne label – which famously denounced the hip-hop community as customers – from his 40/40 club, he'll be pulling Cristal's name from his song lyrics. Lucky us, so many liquor companies reach out to the gay community, it makes choosing easier. [Page Six]

News of what's in store for the third season of Project Runway couldn't have come at a worse time. It's not that Heidi Klum is leaving the show or Tim Gunn's voice is getting replaced. But Gap-owned Banana Republic will no longer serve as the show's sponsor. Gone is the mentorship at Old Navy's upscale brother. In BR's place? None other than Macy's — yes, that Macy's. The show debuts July 12 (with the season finale culminating in New York's spring Fashion Week, rather than fall). But first it's got some 'splainin' to do.

• Video for tonight's episode of Top Model. We were sure Nnenna was going to win, but she was such a bitch we're glad she's gone. And as much as we love love LOVE Jade, it's all about Joanie. Ever since she said she wants to be a stay-at-home mom for a living, we've been in love. And once Tyra paid to fix those busted teeth, it was pretty clear they were thinking she might go all the way. [TopModel]

• Miu at Socialite Life thinks Heidi Klum and Seal are the best couple ever. We agree. The way Heidi's eyes light up when she talks about her hubby, it's so sweet! Ah, love. [SocialiteLife]

• Ryan Seacrest can spread his legs wider than, well, us. And that's saying a LOT. [Jossip]

• Andy Dick is a complete nightmare. First we reported on his "I steal because I'm so famous!" ways in New Orleans; now he's let loose at Coachella. [Defamer]

We won’t be watching Project Jay. It should be a clue to us that a series originally slated to be 8 shows long, has been cut down to a one hour special. What’s the matter Jay, not enough personality to fill a whole series?

Jay was the saving grace of the first Project Runway and we were delighted he won. It is his nastiness since winning that has us calling his bullshit. At first we loved his anti-fashion stance, but now it’s just gotten ugly. He seems bitter and confused and no longer fun. We know you did not take the money and that you think Hedi Klum is a twat and that you hate more successful designers like Zac Posen. Say something new, Mr. McCarroll. Your shtick is getting tired.

This interview with Jay in the new issue of Time Out is exactly what we mean. There is a difference between subtle reads and just plain hate. His persona may be as big as his bloated belly, but we’re still not buying his ego. It’s ugly unlike his clothes.

We’d be remiss if we did not follow up our Blogging Project Runway post from last week with information on Tim Gunn’s blog. Tim Gunn is Chair of the Department of Fashion Design at Parsons The New School for Design. He is also our favorite part of Project Runway. Yes, we love Heidi and her broken English. We love Nina Garcia and her bitchy comments. We love Michael Kors, for you know, being Michael Kors.

But it is Gunn’s one-on-ones with the designers that take the cake. His catch phrase of “make it work” has become a staple of our own lexicon. He reads some of the designers to their faces and they have NO CLUE. Now when faced with a challenge we all, in true Tim Gunn deadpan delivery, declare “make it work.”

He sure has made his blog work. It details what is right and what is wrong about each design every week. And to make us even happier, he’s begun recording podcast recaps of each show. They’re so going on our iPod.

Tim Gunn is the best thing on television. Even if you’re not fashion fairies like we are, you’ll dig him.

Tim’s Take: Blog & Podcast [Bravo]

• “Focus on the Family has closed all its Wells Fargo accounts because the San Francisco bank contributed to a gay rights group that promised to use the funds to ‘fight … the anti-gay industry,’” reports the San Francisco Chronicle. We think maybe it's time to start doing business with Wells. Thanks Lara.

• Salon reveals that the right-wing Christian whack jobs will not protest Brokeback Mountain this weekend. Instead they are choosing to ignore it hoping not to contribute to the old adage that all PR is good PR.

• Michael Lucas on his penis and getting blown away by RuPaul in her new film: “I owe all my success to that big penis of mine, and without it, I am nothing but an aging retarded man from communist Russia.” He said it, not us!

• Made In Brazil has readers voting for Fotolog of the Year. Oh My God. Oh My God. Oh My God.

• Two women are suing Walt Disney Co., NBC Universal, supermodel Heidi Klum and others, claiming the concept of Project Runway was theirs and that they presented the idea to Klum’s people in 2003. They must have missed the first season.
