A few weeks ago, it was revealed that Heidi Klum was going to walk the Project Runway again. So, we wondered what about her partner in fashion crime, Tim Gunn?
The fashion guru revealed his fate to People. When Klum got the gig, she assumed that PIFC would be part of the revival. So, she asked him if he was interested. And, of course, he said, “YES!”
“So Heidi and I were texting and texting, and several months later, she sent me a text asking, ‘Are you happy with your contract?’ I’m a truth-teller. I don’t even mince words. I said, ‘Well, I haven’t seen a contract,'” he told People. “And she said, ‘You haven’t?’ No. So I called my agent and he knew things were going on, but he contacted the executive producers of this new show, and they said, ‘We don’t want him.’ And [my agent] said, ‘Well, he’s done 19 seasons of Runway, 16 with Heidi. The two of them won an Emmy together as hosts, and now you’re going to separate them?’ And they said yes.”
Obviously, we are all sad to hear that because he is the best part of the show. So, how does he feel about it? “I thought, how lucky am I to have had the experiences that I’ve had over the last 20 years?” he explained to People. “This is phenomenal. I stopped the boo-hooing. I thought, it’s really throwing hubris in the face of an angry God to mourn not being on this new show. So I’ve come to terms with it. Am I disappointed? Sure. And most of all, it’s about not working with Heidi, but we move on and things happen for a reason. I don’t know what the reason is yet, but it will be revealed.”
Well, I am not watching anymore. Not that I was going to.
Back in 2017, Heidi Klum left Project Runway after 16 seasons. Since then, the fashion competition show has moved from Bravo to Lifetime back to Bravo, and now it is moving to Freeform, Hulu, and Disney+.
So, they need to do something drastic, and they are. According to People, they asked Klum back, and she said yes.
Who will be judging alongside her? That has yet to be determined. We also don’t know when it will debut on its new home.
Since our govenrment is not helping hospitals with essentials like face masks, ventilators and gowns for our medical professional, Christian Siriano stepped up.
Today, the fashion designer modeled his hard work with his staff. Along with the photo, he wrote, “This is life for a little while I guess. But we made 1,000 masks in 3 days and they will be shipped tomorrow! Thank you to everyone who donated on ChristianSiriano.com we can’t thank you enough.” Actually, we cannot thank you enough for making 1,000 masks.
Most people who win reality shows, go on do nothing with their newfound fame. Even fewer of them go on to do good things. Siriano is the rare winner that continued to win after he won. Not only does he dress Hollywood’s A-list, but he also dresses the ones that no one wants to put their name on. He makes them look beautiful. However, he never made them look as beautiful as he looks in that mask.
Some people wear their hearts on their sleeves. Today, Siriano wore his one his face.
Project Runway is moving from Lifetime to Bravo next year, but not everyone is going back with the show. Amazon announced today that they are working on a new fashion show with Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn.
Heidi Klum says “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.” Then she added, “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!”
Not much more is known about the Amazon Fashion, but they describe it as, “The 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. Additionally, Amazon Fashion will create a shoppable experience for viewers. This intersection of content, commerce, and technology is perfectly suited to the cord cutter generation and streaming consumers.”
Tim Gunn is the heart and soul of the show, so you have to wonder if it is worth bring back Project Runway without him. Will you watch without him?
They say if you lie down with dogs, you will get up with fleas. Well, Heidi Klum doesn’t care about that saying because she slept naked with her dog. Which you can’t blame her because those type of dogs are better to spoon with than the other type of dog that walks on two legs.
