The Daily Beast issued a challenge to former Project Runway designers: Design an inauguration gown for the First Lady. (At the time, Obama's win was not confirmed.) And! As with all ProjRun challenges, there was a twist: The designers could only use Laura Bush's 2005 Inaugural Ball dress, an American flag, burlap potato sacks and $10 worth of trims of their choice. The resulting sketches? A mixed bag: Partly hideous, partly hilarious and partly high fashion. But we poked around the designer's websites and found dresses from their collections that Ms. Obama might actually wear. The sketches and our choices, after the jump. More »

The infallible Perez Hilton is reporting that master-draper Rami Kashou, of Project Runway 4, was attacked last night at Los Angeles club The Abbey, and was apparently rushed to the hospital after taking a glass bottle to the face. Here's hoping this is one of Perez's less-reliable tips. [PerezHilton] More »

Saturday night in Los Angeles, GLAAD honored those in the media who are, um, gay or friends to the gay. Most importantly, however, some way cool peeps turned up to represent. Yes, it goes without saying that the adorable Ellen DeGeneres, left, and her hot stuff girlfriend Portia DeRossi were there, but so were TV stars Becki Newton, Candis Cayne, Billy Baldwin, Sally Field, Sarah Silverman and Sharon Lawrence, reality TV stars Rami Kashou, (Mr.) Jay Manuel, Jackie Warner, Kathy Griffin, and random awesome stars Cindy Crawford, Rufus Wainwright, and Janet Jackson. Yay! After the jump, the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of the GLAAD Media Awards. More »

• It will not surprise anyone to learn that the clothes worn in the Sex & The City movie were not paid for by the movie's production budget but by designers hoping that product placement in the movie will result in clothing sales to actual people convinced that dressing like the characters in Sex & The City is a wise course of action.

Even though the Project Runway finale aired more than twelve hours ago, I'm not gonna lie: I keep watching it again and again on my DVR, reliving and relishing each precious, joyous moment. [Freak! Kidding, I love you Jen. -Ed.] Christian, Rami, Jillian... I'm gonna miss those kids. And I take back all those nasty things I said at the beginning of the season about this season's designers being painfully boooooring. In fact, when Christian was declared the winner last night, I got downright misty-eyed. I dare you witness the winner get ordained, Victoria Beckham be her fabulous self, see Nina Garcia crack a smile and not get choked up. Clip of the final moments of The Greatest Show on Earth: Season 4 begins above. More »

Yup, it's the night we've been waiting for: By 11 p.m. we'll all know who won Project Runway season 4. And I don't know about you, but I've been a wreck ever since I saw the final collection in Bryant Park but a mere 4 weeks ago, replaying them over and over again in my minding, tormenting who will be in, and who will be out. Will Rami make all Christian Palestinians from Jerusalem proud of his draping abilities? Will Christian utilize the secret powers of Ferocia Coutura to pull the hair and blind his competition with his pageant of puffy sleeves? Will Jillian's monotonous Long Island accent seduce the judges like a siren song? Jesus Christ, I can't take the questions anymore! Thank God the finale (with special guest judge Victoria Motherfucking Beckham!!!!) starts....now. More »

Last night on Project Runway: Home visits! There's something so real about the finalists introducing Tim Gunn to where they live and work, and who they love. (Let's not forget that, during season 1, this episode yielded one of the greatest moments in Project Runway history, when Jay McCarroll met Tim out in his lawn wielding a shotgun.) Anyway, much was learned. Christian: Lives in a little apartment; grew up in Baltimore; used to cut hair. Rami: Born in Jerusalem; mother died when he was young. Jillian: Has a Christmas stocking on her door; boyfriend is very proud of her; mother on Long Island relies on advice of psychics. Chris March: Missed Tim dearly; has friends who support Hillary and an unnatural love for rococo furnishings. In addition to getting background on his beloved designers, Tim perused everyone's collections. The lowdown: Rami's looked heavy, Christian's looked voluminous, Jillian's was too "muddy" and, well, Chris used human hair as trim. Clip above. More »

Considering how dull the Project Runway cast has been all season, last night's PR reunion special seemed like gift from above. Gunn, Klum, Kors, Garcia, and all the designers gathered together to both laugh and scowl at one another — and of course, revel in "previously unseen" footage. Special moments abounded, like when Chris March said that all he really wanted was to beat Rami and Rami confessed that competing for the final spot in the finale had brought them closer together. Or when Heidi asked Tim, "Victorya's always a little uptight, no? Or is it just me?" and Tim replied, "No. It's not just you." Or when Heidi told Straight Kevin that she was not convinced that he wasn't actually gay. And then there was Michael Kors, who cracked up during the runway show for the wrestling challenge, as seen in the clip above. More »

This morning, the final quartet of designers from Project Runway season 4 — Christian Siriano, Jillian Lewis, Rami Kashou, and Chris March — dropped by Live with Regis and Kelly for a little chat, as Heidi would say. Sadly, what should have been a light and buoyant interview came across as, well, somewhat underminer-y: In no time at all, Kelly implied that Christian was a copycat and Regis told Jillian that "everyone" thought she should have won the candy challenge (Rami, that challenge's winner, sat quietly to the side). Oh, and don't worry, though it's not in this clip, rest assured that when Regis introduced Rami, he noted that he was from Jerusalem. More »

Last night was one of the weirdest Project Runway episodes ever. It was the last real ep before the reunion special and two-part finale: Ay, so close to the end! As you know, it's down to Rami, Sweet P, Christian, Chris March and Jillian, and Heidi told the designers that once again, they were off on a field trip. But she said it all ominous-like, since it's the final field trip they will ever go on. Fucking drama queen! The designers ended up meeting Tim Gunn at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and had 45 minutes to scour the Egyptian wing, the Greek and Roman sculpture court, and the European paintings and take pictures of things that inspired them (which is so Season 2: Andre's gutter water, anyone?) The episode draaaaaaged; things got so slow that Chris March took a nap. Then at the runway presentation, things took a turn for he crazy. Who's going to fashion week (winning look, at left!) and the insane musings of guest judge Roberto Cavalli, after the jump. More »
]]> http://jezebel.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=356593&view=rss&microfeed=true Rami Kashou did not, thankfully, announce (yet again) that he's from Jerusalem during this morning's Project Runway finale. He did, however, show a lot of draped gowns which were, per usual, wonderful, (his separates and day wear, however, were horrendous). What was up with those olive green pants?

Last night's challenge on Project Runway was the most insane thing ever. And not insane in a "make-a-dress-out-of-corn-husks" sort of way. Nope, reaching a brand new plateau of wacky, this week the designers were introduced to the "divas" of the WWE and asked to design them new wrestling costumes. Initial reaction: Finally, a challenge designed specifically for Chris March! Also: I will throw my TV out the window if Ricky makes mention of his "lingerie skills" ever again. And: Will Rami manage to drape spandex? Anyway, catch the clip above, in which Christian, Sweet P and Chris March imagine their WWE alter-egos; after the jump, more on last night, including who won, who lost, and everything in between. (Note: Tomorrow we'll be live-blogging the Project Runway finale/fashion show in the morning.) More »

Last night's challenge on Project Runway saw the designers visiting a warehouse in Brooklyn where they were met by the SVP of design for Levi's. And sadly, just like the first challenge of the season, this challenge involved running (which we all know never fares well for Chris March). To explain: the designers were to sprint into the warehouse, grab as many pairs of Levi's as they possibly could, stuff them into a laundry bag, and then "deconstruct them" to make a new garment reinterpreting the Levi's 501 heritage. (That's the winning look, at left.) But the only things that seemed to get deconstructed in this challenge were the designers minds, as, one by one, they hovered on the brink of nervous breakdowns. After the jump, more on the episode (and some spoilers). More »

The Greatest Show on Earth really delivered the crazy this week. The challenge? Design an avant-garde look based on the model's hair. Oh, and do it in teams. And by the way? Not one look, but two: The second being a ready-to-wear ensemble that translates an cuckoo avant-garde concoction into something real people might actually wear. Anyway, the pairing of Chris March and Christian was worrisome at first, but then the duo proved unstoppable. (That's their "avant-garde" look, left.) Even Tim Gunn referred to them as "Team Fierce." Chris and Christian were like Beauty and the Beast: In fact, I think it took Chris's warm, loving nature to soften the solipsistic monstrosity that is Christian into an actual functioning designer. Why I suspect that Chris March can bring out the goodness in even the skankiest of souls, why I wanted to bitch-slap Rami, and more (including spoilers) after the jump. More »

Last night was by far the best Project Runway of the season: The genius challenge involved each contestant designing a prom dress for a New Jersey Catholic school girl. Unfortunately (or fortunately for viewers) the girls were demanding and didn't always know that they were talking about, and most had an aesthetic that veered towards the slutty. Christian, who I no longer love to hate but just plain hate, was served a sweet slice of justice after being saddled with a 17-year old girl named Maddie who just may be the only person in the world with an ego to match his own. (Maddie in the dress that Christian designed, at left.) Who won, who lost, and who spent prom drinking alone, after the jump. More »
