Tim Gunn might’ve left Parsons, but Project Runway hasn’t |

|  Tim Gunn is leaving Parsons, but "Project Runway" is not. Parsons The New School of Design at Seventh Avenue and 40th Street will continue as home base for "Runway" when the fourth season kicks off later this year, sources said yesterday. The question of whether Parsons would remain in its "star- ring" role on "Runway" arose following the news that Gunn, the designers’ mentor on the Bravo reality show, has taken a new job at Liz Claiborne Inc., as The Post’s Page Six reported yesterday. Gunn had been chairman of Parsons’ fashion design department. Meanwhile, negotiations between Gunn and The Weinstein Company, which produces "Runway" for Bravo, are continuing. "[The company] is very confident that he’ll be back for the fourth season," officials said.

I guess the rumors that the show was moving to LA were just that.

He’s ushered in a veritable belle epoque at Project Runway, but things may be turning ugly for Tim Gunn. With Bravo eager to forge ahead with season 4 of the reality-show hit, contracts are in place for hostess Heidi Klum and judges Nina Garcia and Michael Kors — but not for its style counselor. This has left many wondering if Runway will have legs without its breakout star. Gunn, who didn’t return calls for comment, has skirted questions about his contract and salary. And to make matters even more curious, he’s contended that his duties as the chair of the fashion department at Parsons trump any TV extracurriculars. ‘’Parsons,’’ he has said, ‘’pays my bills.’’ Bravo has good reason to be conflicted over this decision: Since the show’s inception in December 2004, the network says ratings have surged 189 percent — thanks in large part to Gunn’s anomalous appeal (you know, a cerebral 53-year-old man upstaging a supermodel host). But waiting out Gunn’s school year would mean filming the next season in May ‘07 at the earliest, seven months after Runway’s last finale. (Theoretically, if Gunn doesn’t return, production could begin sooner.) So will it come down to quantity of viewers over quality of content? A source close to Runway claims concerned fans are jumping the Gunn. ‘’We’re confident the whole team will be back,’’ says the source. ‘’We’ll find a way to work around his schedule.’’ As they should. Any decision to tinker with Bravo’s marquee show could lead a chunk of loyal fans to bid auf Wiedersehen.

This has been rumored for weeks because the rumor is that the show is moving it’s production to LA. I just hope that Bravo can make it work with Tim Gunn because he is the only regular I like on the show.

"Project Runway" contestant Michael Knight wouldn’t kiss and tell at Wednesday’s screening of the show’s finale. Season One winner Jay McCarroll couldn’t help but mention seeing R&B singer Brandy at Knight’s Bryant Park fashion show. "Are you f—ing Brandy?" McCarroll asked Knight, who shot back, "Are you f—ing Vin Diesel?" McCarroll was undeterred, asking an even lewder followup question. Meanwhile, winner Jeffrey Sebelia told us competitor Laura Bennett was "crazy" to claim he outsourced his collection: "It’s kind of pathetic and sad"

I want to know what that follow-up question was! And did Michael just out Vin Diesel?
