Former Project Runway Australia host, Kristy Hinzes has given birth to a baby girl in New York City last week.

The baby’s name has yet to be released. It is the first baby for 31 year old Kristy, but is the third for her husband 67 year old Jim Clark. He has two grown up children from a previous marriage.

Congratulations.

Congratulations to Kristy Hinze and Jim Clark with the announcement of their first child on the way.

Kristy Hinze stepped down from being the host of Project Runway Australia because she wanted to concentrate on getting pregnant, and her studies. Megan Gale is the new host, with the show currently filming in Melbourne.

It would appear it has worked, with the SMH reporting she is well into second trimester. This will be her first child, and Jim Clark’s third. It appears the 36 year age gap is not a negative thing for their relationship.

I am sure she won’t be emulating Heidi Klum host of Project Runway, where she took off her knickers and put them in Jay Leno’s gift bag at the Oscars after party.

In the worst kept rumour in reality TV Kristy Hinze has confirmed she won’t be hosting the third season of Project Runway Australia. Kristy told Sydney Confidential she will be concentrating on her studies and spending time with her billionaire husband.

It is no secret that Kristy is hoping to procreate with her husband in 2011.

Now who will be the new host for the show?

The earlier rumours from this year was that it was going to be Megan Gale. However other people will be desperate for the job.

Nicole Trufino could be another possibility as she has been on US TV hosting Search For A Super Model. Lara Bingle will be putting her hand up but has yet to transition from model to TV star.

Laura Dundovic is the new golden girl of Foxtel so she may also get a chance to throw her hat in the ring. Sarah Murdoch would be fantastic in the role, however she is tied up with Australia’s Next Top Model.

If you want to apply to be a contestant on the show go to http://projectrunwayaustralia.castasugar.com/

It looks like there will be Season three of Project Runway Australia on our screens in 2011, as they are now looking for people to apply.

If you can design clothes and/or sew apply here. Applications are due in by the 4 January 2011.

Last year’s series did not get off the ground because the producers could not find enough talent. Also it is doubtful Kristy Hinzes will be hosting the show again, due to other priorities in the US. The last rumour I heard about her replacement was Megan Gale but that was a few months ago.

Hopefully the delightful Henry Roth, Sarah Gale, and Jayson Brundson remain on the cast.

Ajay Rochester’s New Idea Photos Were Provided By Her Already Photoshopped.

The Sydney Morning Herald Gossip Column revealed that this week’s New Idea cover photo of the former The Biggest Loser host was sent to the magazine by her. The story was about this amazing transformation she had made. New Idea apparently paid $15,000 for the story, but they never saw the unaltered shots of Ms Rochester. I find that amazing that they would not check out the bona fides.

Interview With Celebrity MasterChef Contestant Kathleen De Leon

Kathleen De Leon was very unlucky she did not win her heat on Celebrity MasterChef this week, she was beaten by Channel Ten celebrity Michelle Bridges. However the majority of readers in my current poll thought Kathleen should have won, as do I.hWho Mag has a article where she talks a little about Celebrity MasterChef, and also about what she is currently up to.

Fantastic Interview With Top Chef Master Chef, Rick Bayless.

Rick Bayless was one of my favourites in the just finished series of Top Chef Masters. The Chicago Tribune has a fascinating article about him, and about his restaurants.

Australia’s Next Top Model Host Sarah Murdoch Is Pregnant.

Sarah Murdoch is pregnant with her third child, and it is due in April. She currently has two sons. No word whether the birth date will conflict with Next Top Model’s filming schedule. Though Heidi Klum was back at Project Runway after the birth of one of her kids. By the way I am not saying that I recommend that for Sarah.

Kristy Hinze Having a Glamourous 30th Birthday Bash In Palm Springs

Speaking of pregnant wife’s of billionaires, Kristy Hinze has been on the record saying she wants to have babies with her new husband Jim Clark. However, at this stage there is no public news on that front. What she is having is a fabulous party at Palm Springs to celebrate her 3oth birthday. It will have a Rio Carnivale theme, so expect everyone to turn up in a g-string with a fascinator on their heads. (Source news.com.au)

Elimination Interview With Aaron from MasterChef Australia.

Here is the link to TV Week’s interview . He says the show gave him a reality check on food and life in general.

Elimination Interviews With Laura From Australia’s Next Top Model

Who Magazines interview with Laura as very interesting. You could interpret it as sour grapes. She is particularly harsh about “mentor” Johnathan Pease.

She says “I felt that he was giving us criticism that wasn’t overly constructive it was just like, yes you’re doing well, no you’re not doing well – but if you’re not doing well he wouldn’t say do this instead. Do you know what I mean?”.

I tend to agree you rarely see him give useful advice, but I thought that might be the editing.

Here is her interview with TV Week. Laura is pure interviewing gold I love this quote : “In terms of the TV side of things, filming everything four times over, it wasn’t as reality TV as I thought it would be.”

HomeMADE - Elimination  Interview with Matt

I have to confess I am yet to watch the episode as I prioritised the season finale of Gossip Girl ahead of it. And for those who want to know the Divine Chuck Bass did tell Blair he loved her. Anyway Matt in the interview with TV Week says that it appears to be the untrained designers who are left in the show.

Here is the Daily Telegraph article which confirms the show is not long in the Sunday 6.30pm timeslot.

Kristy Hinze Misses Her Husband

Kristy who is host of Project Runway Australia tells the News.com.au she is missing her new husband Jim Clark. Though he is apparently going to land in Australia today to spend some time together.

Ok I know I am day’s late on the wedding of the year involving our very own Project Runway Australia host Kristy Hinze, but just blame Twitter it is time sucking.

Anyway the picture above  is Kristy in her Oscar De Le Renta dress. She was wed in the Carribean. There are no pictures out yet of the bridesmaid dresses that were designed by fashion designer and Project Runway Australia judge Jayson Brundson.

Full story here.

The host of Project Runway Australia, Kristy Hinze, will be getting married this weekend in a three day extravaganza. Project Runway judge Jayson Brundson will be making the bridesmaid dress. Unfortunately he nor bridal specialist Henry Roth (also Project Runway Australia mentor) did not get to design the bridal gown, that honour went to Oscar De La Renta.

Congratulations. More details in the Daily Telegraph

Australia’s Next Top Model Severs Ties With Vogue Australia

A new host is not the only change of this season’s Australia’s Next Top Model, as Harper’s Bazaar and Cosmopolitan will take over from Vogue Australia as the magazine represented in the show. The Sunday Tele gossip column (scroll down the article) states the split could have occurred because they did not put Demelza Reveley last year’s winner on the cover as they did with Alice Burdeau. However I think this is bollocks as Alice was the first winner ever to be put on the cover and there was never any expectation that other winners would get this honour.

Head Judge For Interior Design Show Home Made Announced.

Belle magazine editor-in-chief Neale Whitaker has joined the team on Nine’s lifestyle reality series Home Made. It is thought his role will be as head judge. Similar to that of Johnathan Adler of Arena’s Top Design. Sorry I should not have mentioned those shows in the same post as apparently they are going to be completely different. Each show is about interior designers competing to design different spaces and a designer is eliminated each week.

The producers Julian Cress and David Barbour of The Block fame, look like they are on a winner with this show. Also they always have high production values. David Heimann, proprietor of Orson & Blake will be the host.

Masterchef Australia – Another Melbourne Chef/Judge Announced.

As a Sydneysider I am about to crawl into a dark corner and curl into the feotal position with shame. Matt Preston a chef from Melbourne has been announced as the third judge to join the other two chefs from Melbourne Gary Mehigan and George Calombaris. Just a minor snipe why no female judge? Are there no good female televisual chefs in Australia?

The show is currently in pre-production and carrying out auditions throughout Australia.

Project Runway Australia Season 2 – Applications Are Now Open.

Project Runway Australia Season 2 applications are now open for aspiring or otherwise fashion designers. It will start filming in April and will launch midyear. Kristy Hinzes will continue to be the host.

Aspiring designers need to upload a CV, design samples and a video audition at arenatv.com.au

For god sakes Jim Clarke please give your fiancee, Project Runway Australia’s host Kristy Hinze a black AMEX card.

Here she is with shopping carrying the el cheapo sausages from Woolworths. Did she serve them up at her engagement party in Sydney the other night?

She could have at least gotten the Woolies organic ones, or the Peppercorn Gourmet types. Or for a much better solution sent a minion to Pinos in Kogarah for some quality snags.

The Herald Sun has further details on her engagement party.
