Under the original deal struck between The Weinstein Company and Bravo, Project Runway cost the NBC Universal channel $600,000 per episode.

That was not enough for Harvey Weinstein, especially when Bravo started taking all the credit for the show’s success.

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]

Uber-gay Project Runway winner Christian Siriano sat down with Craig Ferguson yesterday. And, while we can't say for sure, we'd like to think that our pleas helped fuel his disavowal of "fierce," which threatened to undo our nation.

Not one to be without a catch phrase - or, rather, word - Siriano announced to the world that he'll now use the word "expired," as in "fierce is expired".

Project Runway queen bee Tim Gunn imparted some fashionable wisdom at last night's GLAAD Media Awards: "I really believe [Christian Siriano] is his generation's Marc Jacobs. I really do…" Dress appropriately. [NY Mag]

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…

Project Runway finalist Christian Siriano brings out Tim Gunn's inner uber-model in this roof top walk-off.

We love you, Tim, but don't quit your day jobs.

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.

» Runway's Ricky On Being Tear Stricken

Ricky Lizalde captured some hearts as Project Runway's resident cry baby this season. AfterElton caught up with Ricky recently and got the poop on his slick histrionics: "…I think I was discovering things and allowing people to see who I am. I sort of put myself out there, and when I’m disappointed in myself and at how I don’t produce, or when I’m under pressure, instead of getting angry or ugly, I just take it internally. And in order to get it out, that’s how I expressed it, instead of biting of someone’s head off. It was just my way of dealing with my frustration." Much, much better than decapitation, yes. [AfterElton]

Project Runway's final three showed their clothes at Bryant Park today. Here's a Christian Siriano with one of his creations and, perhaps, a small coronary.

» BYEEEEEEE, Ricky!

As of last night, the always-crying Ricky is gone from Project Runway. Who's gonna miss him?

Is anybody else sick of watching Ricky cry on every single episode of Project Runway?


Super stylish Tim Gunn hopped over to Ellen DeGeneres' gab fest yesterday. Check out the homo duo chatting about the red carpet, Gunn's Project Runway and Jack Mackenroth's sad exit from the show.

Also, Gunn's single and not looking: "I'm the luckiest guy in the world."

Design Offers New Details On Past, Present and Future

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.)

The Social Movement To End All Social Movements?

jackmackenrothh-2.jpg
Jack Mackenroth's Project Runway martyrdom doesn't sit well with one fan, who's started an online petition calling for the designer's return:

Jack Mackenroth was hospitalized for 5 days with the superbug known as MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and needed intravenous antibiotics around the clock.

Jack has since made a full recovery but left Project Runway due to illness instead of elimination. This petition is an effort to show support and convince the producers of the show to allow Jack to return for the competition next season.

Will Runway producers heed the public's call? There has to be a public call, first, so head on over and show your support.
