Project Runway - Jillian by Barbara Nitke/Bravo
Jeers to America's Next Top Model because, well, it's no Project Runway. Since both have been airing on the same night, it's clear Heidi Klum's Bravo show is far fresher than Tyra Banks' CW staple. The Runway designers are witty and talented. The Top Model wannabes are... pretty. Actually, I find this week's adorable Runway winner, Jillian, more attractive than lackluster Top Model finalists Jenah, Saleisha and Chantal. Now that autistic Heather's gone, there's no reason to watch Tyra's tired crew (even this week's Great Wall of China photo shoot wasn't so great). As Heidi says, in fashion you're either in or you're out. Sorry, Top Model — you're out.

K-Fed makes the list as a "serial sperminator." (Denise Truscello/WireImage)
Top 50 Dumbest Celebs in HollywoodIf someone asked you to list off the dumbest stars in Tinseltown, you probably wouldn't even know where to begin considering the massive laundry list for this year alone. Well, leave it to the New York Daily News to come out with a list of the 50 dumbest stars in the sky. Whoever said nothing good would come of posing nude, creating drunken havoc in a Walgreens or, our favorite, being a "serial sperminator"?Watch it now!Janice Dickinson's 12 Days of ChristmasGranted, this video was made to promote last season's Janice Dickinson's Modeling Agency as opposed to tonight's third-season premiere, but we couldn't resist sharing her performance of "The 12 Days of Christmas," done in that special way that only Janice could pull off. We won't take it from the top, but let's just say she was lucky enough get some lovely gifts from her true love — like, say, her three former husbands, two large breasts and a fledgling modeling agency.

Episode 3I apologize for the delay. I originally created this blog for fun and then was asked to make it the official PR blog. Although, there are "rules" for blogging, this is voluntary, so please forgive me, but it will not always make it up in a timely manner. I promise to do my best, but I was very busy last week. The guest: Tiki Barber. There were two wonderfully, diverse reactions to Mr. Barber. First we had Kevin’s eyes pop out of their sockets and his jaw hit the floor; then we had Steven say, “…I don’t really know much about football, except that it’s probably the only time on television when spandex is acceptable.” There was also my reaction: WTF?Menswear is an extremely difficult challenge, especially for our “budding” designers who primarily work with women’s fashion. I applaud the challenge, because although females are stereotyped as the fashion guru gender; it’s stubborn to think men lack an opinion when it comes t...

The guest: Sarah Jessica Parker as a guest on anything is an amazing feat. The designers were speechless, but it was my favorite costume designer, Chris Martin, who described just how amazing it was when he nervously met with the lovely actress and teared-up during a “confession” that she was the reason he moved to New York City to pursue his dream. Carrie Bradshaw will do that to ya!SJP recently launched her own clothing line: Bitten. The challenge was to design a two-piece outfit for SJP’s fall-winter collection. Bitten is noted as affordable and defined by its’ every type of woman appeal. The designers sketched and met with the fashion-famed Sex and the City star. She then chose seven designers she felt captures the true essence and design of her line and those seven picked partners. The real challenge: the entire outfit had to retail at just $40! The paired teams were given fifteen dollars for fabric and materials. The designers: Everyone sketched beau...

Alright, this is my fun blog. I am giving myself the "go ahead" for any grammar or spelling mishaps, because frankly, I don't care. I love Project Runway and I want to speak freely about it each week without writer's stress. So, let's talk Project Runway!The judges... Heidi Klum is fabulous. Her voice can get under my skin, but her appearance and honesty is so sophisticated. Nina says what I am thinking every week! It’s as if the woman lives in my mind. Tim Gunn is the definition of exquisite. That man is one-of-a-kind. We (me, my friends and maybe you) all love to watch William Sledd-fashion youtube videos, but no one compares to Gunn's patient, accurate and flawless advice to the designers. Heidi is so lucky! He is every woman’s dream-best-friend. I'm lucky to have a brother, cousin and best friend just like him. What can I say? They love me. I was blessed. The designers… my favorite is Chris Martin. I know it may be too early to judge, but last year I pi...

Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum, Project Runway
In the new season of Project Runway (premiering tonight at 10 pm/ET on Bravo), we meet designers who've dressed Jessica Alba, Lenny Kravitz and Madonna and shown their work in the glossy pages of Elle and Vogue. And no, they're not the guest judges — these are the contestants.
"We've got a very sophisticated, very savvy group this year," says judge Michael Kors. "These are definitely not people fresh out of Home Ec." Adds Runway's genial guru Tim Gunn, "It's the greatest compliment the show can have, that des

As you and I brown-bag lunch and wear that shirt for an eleventh straight season, let's look at how Britney makes a dent in her $738,000 monthly income. As detailed in court papers, it breaks down like this:Mortgage: $50,000Utilities: $10,000Child care: $6,000Clothes: $16,000Entertainment: $102,000Daily mentions in Matt's blog: pricelessKevin Federline, meanwhile, nets $20,000-a-month in spousal support (only for two more weeks, though, yo) and $15K for child care. He himself whiles away $5,000 on entertainment and $2,000 on clothes/fedoras. Other Brit bits:• Appearing at Heidi Klum's Halloween bash dressed in a sombrero, fishnets and (does the rest really matter?), Spears asked her supermodel host if their kids could have a playdate. Per the New York Daily News, Klum smiled politely and then all but hired a security detail for her moppets.• Blackout is poised to top next week's Billboard Top 200 CD chart with some 350,000 in sales, but even that invites controversy.

Rainn Wilson, Neil Patrick Harris and Sally Field are among this year's Emmy nominees.
We know what you think about the nominees for this year's Primetime Emmy Awards, but what do the lucky nominees have to say about their good fortune? Some of your favorites reveal what went through their minds as the good news got out.
Doug Ellin, executive producer of Entourage (Outstanding Comedy Series nominee) "The New York Times called Entourage the best show in its first season. If for some reason [the voters] appreciate it more and we win this time, there's nothing we've consciously done to change it.... I spoke to Jeremy [Piven], who's in London doing a movie, and I'm playing golf with Kevin [Dillon] in about two hours. Jeremy is kind of our home-run hitter, I knew he was going to get nominated, and when Kevin and Martin Landau also got nominated, it was just great."
