The US series of Project Runway will be back on Arena next week, but before we see the new season set in Los Angeles, there will be a one off All-Star Challenge.
This will screen on Monday night on Arena at 8.30pm.
The Project Runway All-Star Challenge is as the name suggests is a mix of contestants from the previous seasons.
They are:
- Mychael Knight - Season 3
- Jeffrey Sebelia - Season 3
- Uli Herzner – Season 3
- Santino Rice – Season 2
- Daniel Vosovic – Season 2
- Chris March – Season 4
- Korto Momolu – Season 5
- Sweet P – Season 4
The winner of the challenge will take home $100,000. Not bad for a couple of days work.

Golden Globes Dresses From Project Runway Alumni
Project Runway winner Christian Siriano designed this gown for Mad Men star Christina Hendricks. All I can say is the Hollywood tape must be working overtime, however it is great to see a real woman on the red carpet.
Chris March designed Meryl Streep’s who won a golden globe dress. Hopefully this mean she is a Project Runway fan which would be pretty cool. If I can find a full length shot I will change the photo. Speaking of Project Runway the US edition will finally be screened here in March. However I need to clarify whether it is the series set in LA which was screened in the US at the end of last year, or the new one that started screening in the US this week. Also for Project Runway Australia fans, they will be replaying the whole of Season 2 on Australia Day, if you have not seen it this show it is as good if not better then its US counterpart. Arena TV will be sticking with it as they have announced a third season will be filmed this year.

Project Runway Stars Will Be Seen At Melbourne Fashion Week
L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Week was launched yesterday, and Project Runway Australia’s winner Juli Gbrac will be showing a collection, as will judge Jayson Brundson . Their collections will be shown on Tuesday March 17 on the L’Oreal Paris Runway.
The other Project Runway Designer to show will be Lui Hon for Von who will be showcasing his clothes on the Independent Runway which will be sponsored by Channel 10.
In overseas Project Runway news, the finale for the yet to be screened Project Runway Series 6 finale will be filmed at next weeks New York Fashion Week. The current series is currently in court and it is unknown when it will be screened.
Project Runway series 1 winner Jay McCarroll will also be showing at New York Fashion week. Jay who turned down the $100,000 prize money citing a contractual clause that gave the Project Runway production company 10% stake in all his professional ventures for perpetuity. Is that legal?
Anyway a documentary called Eleven has been made of what happens McCarroll after he exited the reality TV show. It is being shown on Bravo on February 20, so hopefully Arena will pick it up and show it here.

Reality Tidbits
Joanne Pacitti is this year’s Carly Smithson in American Idol genertating some controversy with the fact she has previously had a record contract, and had one of her songs covered by Britany Spears. MTV has the best article on the saga and gives a good summary of her show biz past.
Whitney Thompson the plus size model who won America’s Next Top Model is getting plenty of work, in this article here she tells us that she has pressure to both increase and decrease her weight, she is currently size 10.
If you live in the US and you have a bit of cash, you may want to bid on tickets to sit front row at Project Runway winner Christian Siriano’s New York fashion week show. The money will benefit the New York Restoration Project. More details here.
Ever wondered why we see some auditions on American Idol and not others. Well it all comes down to getting and paying for the song rights. The Seattle Times has a great article on this issue, and how it means we sometimes don’t see some contestants until the top 36! Did anyone see Jason Castro until the top 24 rounds last year?

Project Runway – Season 1 Is Rescreening on Arena, The Show Has Definately Evolved.
- Heidi Klum, the host, seems to be friendlier to the contestants in season 1, she now is much more formal with them;
- Heidi wore the same outfit twice, once when meeting the contestants at the apartments (something else she would not do now) and then when she was on the runway telling them what the challenge is;
- Heidi’s look is much more polished and dressed up, in this episode it was a Kiss t-shirt and jeans not some micro mini designer dress;
- Michael Kors appears thinner;
- Nina Garcia’s hair appears to be the same style (ok that is something that has not evolved and the fact Michael Kors is still wearing the same clothes.);
- Banana Republic accessory wall, which is now the Bluefly.com wall;
- The had an hour to shop for material’s in the grocery store, in challenges now they only have 30 minutes;
- They did not mention immunity of the next round for the winner, maybe they will mention that next episode.
- Heidi shook hands with the eliminated contestant and did not kiss them on both cheeks. Of course she said Auf Widershen (sic).

Project Runway’s Kenley Collins – Narcissitic Personality Disorder?
In the penultimate episode before New York Fashion Week at Bryant Park the task was to make an evening gown that has an organic feel based on being inspired by flora at New York Botanic Gardens.
However tonight’s episode was more about contestant Kenley Collins rather then the fashions.
Kenley appears to have a talent for rubbing the people the wrong way. But she is completely perplexed on how she manages to alienate her peers.
It got me thinking does Kenley have a narcissistic personality disorder?
Mental Health defines narcissistic personality disorder as a condition characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, need for admiration, extreme self-involvement, and lack of empathy for others.

When Two Reality Shows Collide….
Don’t you love it when two of your favourite reality TV shows merge. Above is a picture of Demelza winner of this year’s Australia’s Next Top Model, wearing Project Runway Australia runner up Leigh Buchanan’s tutu dress which he designed for the catwalk show.
Demelza here “˜Foxtel Lap’ on November 14 in Sydney. The event is designed to raise money and awareness for the the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute.
Somehow I don’t think Demelza was doing any running in those shoes.
For an update on what Leigh Buchanan is up to go here.
