Celebrity "Teacup" Pig Craze: Will It Create an Abandoned Pig Epidemic?

Project Runway Rundown: The Battle of the Baggy Sweaters

This week on Project Runway, the final six designers had to create a companion look for one of their previous winning designs (well, except Logan who is 0-10). Project Runway's Nicolas explains "Feather Prince" nickname Althea and Irina both created similar oversized tops. But Althea's bag-waisted pants paired with gray knitwear took the win, leaving Irina less than thrilled. In the bottom are the two men: Christopher used approximately 600 yards of silver fabric to create a ruffled mess of a gown, while Logan went for a more futuristic, zippered look. The judges hated Logan's sci-fi minidress and gave him — and his tight pants — the boot. See what Chris March thought of the episode in this week's Runway Rundown
