Heidi Klum ‘Unzips” For Page Six Magazine

Posted on 15 September 2009 by Tammy Cakes

heidi-klum-page-six-magazine-cover

Project Runway’s Heidi Klum, opens up to Page Six magazine about being pregnant in her final pregnancy month.

On Karl Lagerfeld’s comments that he’d never heard of her and didn’t know who she was: “I don’t know why [Karl] said that. Maybe he wanted to be in the paper? Maybe he doesn’t understand what I do? It’s bizarre to me that he says he doesn’t know who I am because he’s dressed me in the past. I’ve worn Karl Lagerfeld. Not even Chanel—his line. Lagerfeld doesn’t just send random things everywhere, so it was a big thing for me [to wear his label] to the CFDA Awards a few years ago. I don’t know how he missed that, when he dressed me that time. But you know, it’s cool. People can say whatever they want to say. You can’t please everybody, and you can’t live your life wanting to please everybody either.”

On pregnancy, the fourth time around: “It’s hard when you don’t fit in your things anymore. The last month is unbelievable, how rapidly your stomach goes. It’s huge. The thighs, the butt—everything explodes in the end. But it’s bizarre. Just as it’s a miracle that you can grow a human being in your belly, it’s a miracle that your body goes back to normal again. I don’t think you ever get back to exactly the way you were, but you do get close. And I’m happy with that. Especially when you see your kid for the first time.”

On knowing that husband Seal was “The One”: “Aside from his sexy stature? He’s a gentle giant. [Seal is six- foot-three-and-a-half.] We’re very into family values. If you come to our house in L.A., you’ll see that it’s not a big, museum-like house where you can’t touch anything or sit anywhere. It’s a family house, where three children [Leni, Henry, 4; and Johann, 3] are living. We have toys all over the place.”

heidi-klum-page-six-butt-shot-2

On keeping her distance from the “Project Runway” models: “Otherwise, I’d get too attached, and I’d take their life story into consideration, which I don’t want to do. Either I like the clothes or I don’t. I don’t want to know that you live with your sick mother. I don’t want to feel badly because they have a sad story, like, ‘Poor thing, let’s keep him on.’ ”
For all this and more, check out Page Six Magazine, free inside the New York Post on Thursday, September 10 and available online on Friday, September 11.

Posted on 19 August 2009 by Jaclyn Mullen

What do Connie Chung, comedian Dave Chapelle, Katherine Hiegel from

Grey’s Anatomy, Samuel Jackson,Tim Gunn of Bravo Reality fame,

and Allyson Hannigan from How I Met Your Mother, all have in common?

They were born in Washington, DC proving that the stars on our flag aren’t

the only ones we pledge allegiance (or admiration) to.

From the big screen to your television screen, Washington D.C can boast about more than just the White House. And last week, Hollywire contributor Jaclyn Mullen brought the Jaclynsphere to the Nation’s Capitol to get a glimpse into the political powerhouse of a city.

Even though she was far from the Hills of Hollywood, Hollywire was not far from her heart as she posed in front of the George Washington Monument in true Hollywire fashion. Be sure to read her review for Founding Fathers restaurant and get a glimpse into the life of a lobbyist when her interview of Chelsea Mawell goes online this afternoon.

Heidi Klum & Tim Gunn Discuss Sixth Season Of Project Runway In Entertainment Weekly

Posted on 27 May 2009 by Tammy Cakes

Project Runway will finally kick off it’s sixth season on August 20. But due to a legal dispute that kept the show of the air for months, the show will be seen on Lifetime instead of Bravo.

The show has also moved it’s location from the City that Never Sleeps to the City of Angeles. Future seasons will rotate between cities.

“After five seasons, the show needed a booster shot,” series judge Tim Gunn told the June 5 issue of Entertainment Weekly.

“Los Angeles is indisputably the home

of the red carpet,” Tim explains said. “It’s the home of film and television costume, and it has a celebrity dimension that New York doesn’t have. Watching the first elimination this season, I thought, Wow, we should be here.”

Runway judge/designer Michael Kors also believes the L.A. move will be good for the show and its contestants.

“LA can be the most laid-back and the most glamorous,” Michael explains. adding that challenges would include fashion for the red carpet and the beach. “It’s the land of bikinis and gowns.”

Christina Aguilera, Eva Longoria Parker, and Lindsay Lohan will serve as guest judges throughout the season.

Kenley Collins From Project Runway Confirms What We Already Knew: Homegirl Is CRAZY

Posted on 18 March 2009 by Lexacahn

Kenley Collins from the fifth season of Project Runway, best known for her relentless pin-up girl style, her ridiculous attitude and her annoying-as-hell laugh, was arrested yesterday and is currently in prison for attacking her ex-fiance with A CAT.  Kenley also chose to attack him with other interesting weapons, such as a laptop, apples and water.

She was charged with six separate crimes and there is still no word on when she will be released.

I knew she was a psycho.  I bet Jarell and Korto are laughing their asses off right about now!

Project Runway’s Fan Favorite Losers

Posted on 13 July 2008 by HollyGoLightly

Only a few more days until reality sensation Project Runway returns to Bravo. I’m so excited– I cannot wait for all the new sewing room drama to unfold! No, really, I’m really excited to see more of those awesome fashion creations that come about from the challenges set forth in the show. As ridiculous as the challenges get, there are always a few designers that shine through.

Project Runway
If you watch the show religiously, as I have over the last four seasons, I’m sure you have your favorite designer that didn’t quite make it to the top honors. Even though our favorite character’s weren’t named “best in show” we still love them. Here is a quick rundown of my favorite losers from each season.

Season 4 – Rami

Rami

We all love the flamboyant, over the top & ruffly Christian Sirano (who can deny his sweet disposition and “fierce” one liners?). However, Rami is my favorite loser from season 4 for his thoughtful and carefully constructed designs. Rami rocked the final challenge. As Nick Verros (Season 2) said (pretending to be Rami) after the fashion show at Bryant Park, “You want wovens bitch. I’ll give you wovens!”

Rami is a true businessman whom has been established in the fashion industry for quite some time now. In the final challenge, he designed an entire line encompassing knits, wovens, skirts, tops, separates, dresses… the list goes on. Beyond his versatility as a designer, the refined aesthetic and attention to detail sets him apart from his competitors. Given the same amount of time, he is able to produce finished pieces that are elegant and show off his awesome technical skill.

Season 3- Uli

Uli

Sweet, blond, and German… No, Uli is not Heidi’s doppelganger, but she is season 3’s queen of colorful prints and flowy dresses. She won the audience over with her positive free spirit and adventurous feminine style. Uli has a zest for life and even though she grew up in the harsh reality of communist East Germany, she has managed to escape the drabness of her childhood and grown to create beautiful clothes.

In the last challenge, she showed a cohesive elegant collection. I have to agree with the judges up until that point she was making the same dress over and over. However in the collection for Fashion Week, Uli stepped out of her comfort zone mixed it up with some separates, solids, & sparkling details but in keeping with her signature style. She had the prettiest, most wearable collection for the average woman and for that reason she is my season 3’s top pick as favorite loser.

Uli 1Uli 2Uli 3Uli 4Uli 5

Season 2- Daniel V

Daniel V

Daniel Vosovic…Season 2’s young designing prodigy. He wized through challenges with creative ease sending his more experienced fellow contestants into a tizzy. Daniel’s clean, elegant, and perfectly constructed designs brought him all the way to the finale where Chloe Dao snatched victory away from the fan favorite designer. I can’t overstate how bummed I was when Daniel lost Season 2’s final challenge (I’m still in denial).

Anyways, his unique perspective and design talent showed through his work. His wit, thoughtfulness, and understated personality makes him a likable character to watch and root for (unfortunately ladies, he’s gay and taken). Daniel continues his blooming career in the fashion industry (he designed all the outfits on the cover of “Bonfire” magazine from Lipstick Jungle) and he will be an up and coming designer to watch. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Daniel V 1Daniel V 2Daniel V 3Daniel V 4Daniel V 5

Season 1- Austin Scarlett

Austin Scarlett

With a name like Austin Scarlett, you have to be from the south and a seriously fierce diva. Well, Austin is a city boy from New York New York, but true to his name he is a true diva. Austin was Season 1’s over the top personality. You couldn’t ignore his pale skin, blond hair, and the way he dresses like a Louis XIV French Courtier. But you have to give it up for the boy for not being afraid to show off his style. We all know he was probably beat up a lot as a kid growing up.

Personality aside, Austin produced some awe inspiring garments. He was the only one to use real produce (corn husks) in the grocery store challenge. He took chances and sometimes he failed to edit his ostentatious style, but no one can deny he has a point of view (not to mention he can sew like a bad-ass mofo). And although he never made it to the final 3, Austin is still doing well for himself these days. He designs his own line of (what else…) wedding gowns. Laurie from the “Real Housewives” bought one for her opulent OC wedding.

Austin 3Austin 1Austin 2

That’s my loser round-up! Can’t wait to see who becomes my new favorite loser this time around on Season 5…cuz, ya know, I’ll never be satisfied with just one winner.
