Project Runway Gets Auf’ed.

heidi klum for project runway in yellow heels.JPGSorry to start your weekend off like this, but this statement’s been emailed to some press from NBC Universal:

“NBC Universal is pleased that the court granted our motion for a preliminary injunction against The Weinstein Company. The overwhelming evidence demonstrated that The Weinstein Company violated NBC Universal’s right of first refusal to future cycles of Project Runway. After hearing all of the evidence, the court issued an order prohibiting The Weinstein Company from taking the show or any spin-off to Lifetime.”

Questions:

1. Will PR go back to Bravo, or does that mean it’s just (gasp) done?

2. Does this affect Nina Garcia’s job / tenure / existence at Marie Claire?

3. What about Project Runway: The Movie where they just mash all the episodes into one big marathon? Can that happen?

4. What will Heidi Klum do with all her free time?!

it should still air next season, don't worry. they are filming the show now. my bf is an editor on PR, and he hasn't mentioned anything about them putting production on hold. it might mean that the show doesn't premiere in january like it's supposed to, though. the eps might get held back until the lawsuit gets settled. that's my bet.

The prelim injunction is just temporary until after a trial or settlement. A trial could take some time so better to hope for a settlement!

I miss hearing your opinion on the Project Runway the next day. Why'd you stop this season?

I can't believe the Tyra-speak of "cycle" in place of "season" has infiltrated the NBC Universal PR corps.

I second Peter's comment! Wasn't this the top 10 list or something? Or was that for another show, I cannot recall. Anyways - how about doing a post on the day after the new Gossip Girl shows? Would love to hear who they are wearing, or really any opinion :)
