We hear that E! is trying to make a True Hollywood Story out of Project Runway, but they’re running into some snags.
Apparently, publicists for various stars of the show – as well as those who work with Bravo TV – are hesitant to let the special proceed, fearing bad blood and gossip will prevail on the tabloid network.
Perhaps they’re reminded of the Sex and the City episode, which delved a little too deep into the feud between Sarah Jessica Parker and her co-star Kim Catrall. Perhaps they’re just reminded of the various New York magazine articles where far too much TV dirt gets dished – remember when Tim Gunn said that Daniel V didn’t get the job he wanted at Michael Kors? Wow.
The show hasn’t been nixed yet, but if it does go forward, cerain key Project Runway figures won’t be involved -
Which is sad, since the show is so amazing and exciting, it would be hard for anybody to talk about their work with young designers without looking fabulous.
In the meantime, we’ll have to console ourselves with new episodes of Top Chef, where Padma looks incredible and so does most of the food…
