Project Runway is Officially Over As You Know It

It’s the end of the Project Runway world as everyone knows it.


But do viewers out there feel fine?




On Friday morning, Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn dropped a bombshell on the world of reality television:


They will not be returning to Project Runway. Not next season. Not ever again.


The beloeved duo, who have starred as co-hosts and judges on the fashion design competition series since 2004, explained their decision in a pair of statements.


First, let’s hear from Klum:


After 16 incredible seasons, I am saying ‘Auf Wiedersehen’ to Project Runway, a show that I was honored to host and help create.


I am incredibly proud of the show, and it will always have a special place in my heart. I am so appreciative of the dedicated fans, and most of all, I am grateful that we could shine a light on creativity and help launch so many talented designers’ careers.


I’m most excited that my journey with my dear friend and colleague, Tim Gunn, is far from over.


We will be partnering with Amazon for a new show, and we’re excited for everyone to see what we’re designing next!



Indeed, Klum and Gunn will be headlining a program on Amazon Prime Video, proving once again that streaming services are coming for EVERYone on network or cable television.


This is what Gunn had to say:


I am grateful to Project Runway for putting me on a path I never, in my wildest dreams, thought my career would take me!


I am so proud to have been a part of the groundbreaking process that showcased talented young designers as never before.


Most importantly, I am indebted to our incredible fans, they are the heart and soul of what we do, and continue to inspire us to raise the bar in this arena.


I’m excited for them to see what’s next, as I partner with Amazon and Heidi Klum on our next great ‘fashion’ adventure.


Per a press releaseKlum and Gunn’s impending series “will be a fresh take in the reality space and will appeal to a global audience who are entertained by competition, storytelling, and authenticity.”



Throughout its 14 seasons on the air, Project Runway has earned 58 Emmy Awards nominations won two awards.


In 2013, Klum and Gunn together earned an Emmy for outstanding host for a reality or reality-competition program; and in 2009, the series won the Emmy for outstanding picture editing for reality programming.


Not only will Season 17 look different because neither Gunn nor Klum will play a role on it…


… but neither will Zac Posen.


“Working alongside Heidi, Nina [Garcia] and Tim as a judge for six seasons of Project Runway was one of the greatest experiences of my career,” the judge said in his own statement today, adding:


“I will cherish the opportunity the show gave me to learn from and grow with my co-judges, the producers, crew and designers. Runway has led to incredible opportunities and I am currently at work on some new projects that I am very excited to share with you soon.


“I wish the show and everyone much success always.”



As of this writing, Nina Garcia, who has been with the show since its premiere in 2004, as the sole remaining judge.


It was announced in May that Project Runway will relocate from Lifetime to its original home on Bravo for all future seasons.


And, according to a new statement from Bravo, “The series will continue its iconic impact with Bravo’s reboot for the next generation of designers and fans. We are excited to announce our new host and mentor very soon.”


But will anyone even tune in again at this point?

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 8 Episode 18 Recap: The Runaway Runway

Kyle Richards is tired of being thrown under the bus by the other ladies, and she made that very clear on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 8 Episode 18


The ladies attended another one of Dorit Kemsley’s lavish fashion events, and and the most drama was held for after the event. 


That came in the form of Kyle quizzing Lisa Vanderpump about the photoshoot Dorit was involved in for Beverly Hills Lifestyle Magazine. 



If you watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills online, you will already be aware that Lisa did not want to use the pictures because they never came out that well. 


Dorit seemed mad, but there was nothing she could really say because the situation she was in. If she started bickering with Lisa, she would have probably been obliterated by a glance from Erika. 


Dorit knows how to pick her battles, and that’s why she went guns blazing for Kyle. She felt like Kyle was jealous about not being asked to have pictures taken for the magazine. 


Dorit, you can’t expect there not to be any repercussion from the dinner in Erika’s hotel room,” Kyle said, of the big fight they had in Berlin. “You were saying things that didn’t even make sense to me!”



For what it’s worth, Dorit rarely makes sense, so we have to agree with Kyle on this one.  ICYMI: The two bickered about pantygate once again. 


“It surprised me because I had nothing to do with that, and it wasn’t fair,” Kyle reiterated. “In your attempt to get closer to Erika, you wanna throw me under the bus for no f-cking reason — again.”


This argument opened old wounds for Kyle, and she subsequently tried to get more details about what Dorit was saying that time Erika left Teddi’s beach house. 


But Erika seemed over the whole situation and failed to defend her friend. That was enough for Kyle to realize these ladies were not as close to her as she once thought. 



“[Lisa] Rinna’s up Erika’s ass, Erika’s up Dorit’s ass, Dorit’s up Lisa Vanderpump’s ass,” Kyle  Mauricio as they stormed out of the event.


“Everyone’s busy kissing ass and bullshitting, and no one’s being honest. And you know what? It’s at my expense, and I’m not gonna f-cking do it anymore.”


“I’m feeling like everybody’s full of shit,” Kyle later revealed to the audience. “And I don’t feel like sitting here at a party being fake with a bunch of bullshitters.”


Dorit turned to her own husband with some words of her own about the situation. 


“Are you f***ing kidding me?” she complained. “It’s just one night for crying out loud. I wouldn’t do that to somebody on a night that’s very important; I just wouldn’t. I don’t have it in me.”


Elsewhere on the final episode of the season, Camille Grammer returned to let the ladies in on a shocking revelation: she’s pregnant!



That last part was a joke, but her big shocker was equally as shocking: she’s engaged to fiancé, David C. Meyer and wasted no time in flashing the beautiful rock around. 


“You’re engaged”‘ Kyle yelled. “Oh my God… I’m gonna cry!”


“David is a good guy, and he makes me laugh. I’m looking forward to spending the rest of my life with somebody. Life is pretty darn good,” Camille dished in a confessional. 


While everyone was happy about the engagement, Lisa Vanderpump could not contain herself and admitted that she was part of the reason for the big step for Camille. 



The SUR boss said the following: “Woohoo, Camille finally took my advice and kind of went for it. She’s had a horrible, tumultuous ride dealing with divorce. And now here she is. She’s really in a great place, and I couldn’t be happier for her.”


Okay, what did you think of all the developments?


Sound off below!


The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills continues next Tuesday on Bravo.

Wendy Pepper Dies; Former Project Runway Contestant Was 53

Wendy Pepper, a memorable contestant who competed on the very first season of Project Runway, has passed away.


She was 53 years old.




pepper


According to The Washington Post, the reality star – whose real name was  Anne Eustis Pepper Stewart – died peacefully on Sunday surrounded by her family members and loved ones.


The cause of her death was not revealed in the newspaper’s obituary.


But here is what a portion of the memorial article said:


A finalist on season one of Project Runway, Wendy designed and hand-sewed exceptionally beautiful clothes for children and adults.


She was a chef, a writer, and a life-long entrepreneur.


Her wit and humor were unmatched, as was her generosity of spirit.


Wendy is survived by her parents, Anne Livingston Emmet of Washington and Charles Willing Pepper of Palm Beach, FL; her loving daughter, Finley M. Stewart, of Middleburg, VA; her brothers Wing Pepper, Stacy Lloyd and Thomas Lloyd; her sister, Edith Pepper Goltra; and many adoring nieces and nephews.

Pepper advanced to the finals at Fashion Week and ultimately came in third on the opening Project Runway season.


While on the program, she won numerous challenges, including the change to have one of her designs sold at Banana Republic and the opportunity to design Nancy O’Dell’s Grammy dress.


She was a fan favorite for sure.


Along with the inaugural run of Project Runway, Pepper also made an appearance during the second season of Project Runway All Stars, which aired in 2012 and 2013.


Moreover, she appeared on a pair of other Bravo reality shows: Celebrity Poker Showdown and Battle of the Network Reality Stars.


The late chef and designer was born in Dayton, Ohio.


She graduated from Potomac School, the Madeira School, and the University of Washington. 




w. pepper


Said Pepper in a Project Runway All Star video many years ago:


“I realized I was a designer when I was living in Nepal.


“Dyeing some yarn, I suddenly turned to these people that I was living with and I started to drape the yarn. Oh my gosh, this is so much fun, I am creating this whole sort of experience with these women.


For me, fashion is communication…That’s when I knew this was my life’s work.”


She also said Project Runway taught her that “if you really want to succeed, you’ve gotta be willing to throw yourself into the arena.”


Pepper will be laid to rest at a Georgetown church on December 1.


May she rest in peace.

Mychael Knight Dies; Project Runway Alum Was 39

Mychael Knight, a former fourth place finisher on Project Runway, died on Tuesday morning outside of Atlanta, Georgia.


He was 39 years old.

News of Knight’s passing was first reported by Obvious Magazine, which simply stated the following a short while ago:


American Fashion Designer, and Project Runway alum, Mychael Knight has passed away. He was 39 years old.


Mychael died at 7:25 am EST outside of Atlanta, GA on October 17, 2017, surrounded by his loving family and friends.

No cause of death has been announced.


“We are still processing the untimely death of our son, brother, friend, and uncle,” said his family in a statement to the publication.


“Mychael meant everything to us and we loved him dearly. He was generous and so full of life. This is how we choose to remember his legacy.”



Knight competed on  Project Runway in 2006.


The popular contestant, who won the Fan Favorite Award, went on to launch his clothing line in 2007, as well as design for Starbucks.


A year later, he launched a female and male lingerie label known as “Kitty & Dick” and his unisex fragrance, “MajK.”

Farrah Abraham Flaunts Surgically Enhanced Butt on the Runway

We think it’s safe to say Farrah Abraham isn’t much of a trendsetter or “influencer,” as the kids say.


(Unless selling plastic molds of your butthole is, like, the new cool hobby for Millennials, or something).



Farrah may have millions of social media followers, but we’re guessing very few of them are looking to follow in the footsteps of a woman who’s famous for getting pregnant really young, being terrible for to her mother, and having sex on camera.


But it’s important to point out that in many ways, Farrah is the Teen Mom franchise’s biggest trailblazer.


She was the first to try and make the leap from reality star to mainstream celebrity.


She was the first to make a professional “sex tape” (that’s usually called a porn, but don’t tell Farrah that), and now Amber Portwood and others have publicly entertained the idea of entering the adult industry.


But the biggest way in which Farrah set an example for her TM colleagues is by being the first to undergo “cosmetic enhancement” procedures in the name of beauty.



Yes, at this point, “Farrah Abraham plastic surgery” is practically a punchline, but when she first came on the scene, Farrah was rocking the all-natural look (as far as we know, at least).


Since gaining fame on MTV, however, Farrah has gone under the knife more times than a cutting board.


Most recently, Farrah underwent a “vaginal rejuvenation” that was later revealed to be a complete overhaul of her, um … undercarriage.


Thus, Farrah is sporting a new butt these days, and she can’t wait to share it with the world.


No, she hasn’t started peddling a new edition of her famous b-hole mold (at least not yet).


But she did flaunt her new assets at LA Fashion Week on Saturday night.



Yes, in a crowd that included her daughter, Farrah took to the runway to show off her new backside in various form-fitting outfits.


Obviously, fans are bemoaning the example that she’s setting for her daughter, but we’d like to take time to acknowledge the real victim here.


We’re talking, of course, about Kendall Jenner.


Kendall put in the due diligence to work her way up the ladder as a real model, and then Farrah comes along and reminds the world that if you’re famous enough, some designer will put you on the runway in order to bring attention to his brand.


It’s almost like the fashion industry is less deep than those molds Farrah wants you to have your way with.

Kendall Jenner: I Shun My Family on the Runway!

Kendall Jenner was a guest on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last night.


Prior to joining the host for a game of Charades, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star sat down for an interview with the host, in which they discussed Donald Trump"s immigration ban, the future of the Supreme Court and the challenges of climate change.


Just kidding.


Jenner and Fallon mostly talked about fashion and Kendall"s life as a model.



"It’s really, really fun,” she said of being involved i New York Fashion Week, which is taking place as we type.


Added Kendall:


"I forgot how fun it is. You work all day, and then people say, ‘let’s go out.’ There’s no sleeping.”


Fallon then congratulated the young star on achieving her dreams of becoming a model, to which Kendall replied:


“I can thank my parents for that. It really is a dream come true. It’s really awesome, the last three years have been awesome."


But what does Kendall do when she sees Kris Jenner in the front row of a fashion show? Or Kim Kardashian? Or Kylie Jenner?


Does she give them a subtle shout-out while she models a new design? Not quite.



"I never look at the audience, ever,” she told Fallon, explaining:


“If I do, it’ll mess me up. It’s kind of like being on stage I guess, if you’re a theater actor, if you look at something to take you out of your zone.


"Kylie, sometimes, if she’s at a show, her and my mom usually, I can hear them screaming. I can never look at them."


Watch Kendall go into more depth about her career with Fallon below:
