Honey, you laughed him off the runway! On to the challenge: Cars, aka product placement HELL. Fat little Saturn hybrids were stuffed with car parts and the designers had to create "innovative" garments from carburetors and seat belts. Raise your hand if you'd rather just sit through additional commercials. This crap has zero effect on my vehicular buying habits, marketing people. Zero! Anyway, I laughed when Terri was like, "I don't have a blow torch." I also laughed when Jerrell said of Terri: "She has 2 faces and 4 patterns. Don't trust the bitch." But the high(low)light of the episode was when Keith The Gay Mormon had a total meltdown. It started in the sewing room; he got agitated at a machine. Then he snapped at a model. Then, during the runway critique, it all came crashing down. Clip above, and all the ensembles from the runway, after the jump.

Terri's outfit: Inspired by Stella?

Stella's outfit: Inspired by a Ramones tea party? It was funny when Michael Kors said, "This does look a little random," and Stella said, "Thank you."

Special guest judge and rumored gelfling Rachel Zoe (again: product placement HELL! She has a new show on Bravo) really really wanted Korto's elegant seat belt coat. How come Korto always looks so depressed on the runway?

Kenley's handmade zebra print kept her safe, despite the fact that her model dropped out at the last minute (this is a replacement model, heh).

The judges really loved Jerrell's bustier, which was made from car seats turned inside out to the suede side and dashboard panels. It reminded me of the Thierry Mugler motorcycle bustier seen in George Michael's 1992 video "Too Funky". Which is to say: I liked it.

There was a moment in this episode when Suede said, "I have blisters from sewing rubber." He totally forgot to call himself Suede! Therefore I can admit that I love this flashy little party dress. Perfect for New Year's Eve!

Joe's motocross mini: Meh.

Despite making an ill-fitting dress embellished by a broken mirror that Heidi Klum swears will give him "seven years no sex," Blayne lives to licious another day. Sigh.

Leanne was the winner of the challenge with this Balenciaga-esque frock. Rachel Zoe thought Leanne could take the dress "straight to Paris."

Is Keith The Gay Mormon frustrated because he's gay and Mormon? Because he can't get out of Utah? His crying jag at the end of the ep was truly painful. But clearly he's got issues. Did you hear him talk to his model? "Did you sit down? Did you sit down? I knew you were gonna sit down." Keith was auf'd for this hideosity, which was much, much worse from the back. But he was probably also eliminated because he's so frustrated. Good luck, Keith.

<![CDATA[Courtney Love "Knows" Britney; Did J. Lo Have Twins?]]>

  • Courtney Love on Britney Spears: "I know exactly what's going on, having been there. If she doesn't get help something very, very bad is gonna happen. Marilyn Monroe was strapped to a gurney too, but, other than me and Britney, no one's ever been strapped to a gurney." Really? No one? [PageSix.com]
  • Jennifer Lopez gave birth! Maybe! If you believe this blog we like! She allegedly had twins yesterday on Long Island! A boy and a girl! Maybe! [The.Life Files]
  • If J.Lo did give birth, she did it in a couture hospital gown. But you probably knew that already. [MSNBC]
  • UCLA Medical Center has classified patient Britney Spears as G.D., gravely disabled. She went into a manic, paranoid state when she was admitted to the hospital, screaming, "The only reason she's admitting me is because she wants to be alone with her boyfriend!" [TMZ]
  • Kevin Federline is "worried" about Britney and feels the psychiatric hospital is the best place for her right now. [People]
  • A former colleague says Britney's new shrink is "excellent." Fingers crossed. [People]
  • Sources say that when Britney checked into the hospital last Wednesday night she hadn't slept since Saturday. [People]
  • Nick Stern, a paparazzo, has resigned from Splash photo agency because "Directly or indirectly, Britney is going to come to some horrific end. The paps are completely out of control. It's not unusual to have 20 or 30 cars pursuing her at any one time. It's become acceptable to drive at 80mph down the wrong side of the street into oncoming traffic." [Guardian]
  • A choreographer in London has created a ballet called Meltdown based on Britney's life: Dancers portray Brit fending off paparazzi, shaving her head and being carried off stage in a stretcher. Appealing or appalling? [Reuters]
  • Guess who checked into the same psych ward as Britney? Grey's Anatomy star Justin Chambers. He reportedly was exhausted and suffers from a sleeping disorder and checked in voluntarily. He entered on Monday and checked out Wednesday. Maybe the five kids he's got at home are wearing him out? Be well! [TMZ]
  • Is Kirsten Dunst the next star to fall? Sources say she is "not in a good place right now." Hey, you know what wasn't a bad flick at all? Crazy/Beautiful. [Page Six]
  • Michael Jackson's kids? Without masks? So weird. Also, so many questions, very few answers. [TMZ]
  • George Clooney during his UN speech, delivering a message about the crisis in Darfur: "I am the son of a newsman, so the job of messenger comes with the responsibility to deal with facts, not to tell people what they want to hear, but to tell them what the truth is, unfiltered." In a word: Swoon. [People]
  • Some dude who "dated" Britney in 1999 is headed to Hollywood on American Idol. Good luck, man. And try to keep it classy, for crissakes. [People]
  • Amy Winehouse's rehab addiction: ice lollies (popsicles)! She's also been teaching fellow patients how to play guitar. Love a positive story about this woman. LOVE IT. [Mirror]
  • Oh, wait, this story says Amy was rushed to a hospital and put on a drip. Crap. [The Sun]
  • At a party Wednesday night, Hayden Panettiere was seen pulling her mother's dress down because it kept hiking up too high. Who hasn't been there? "Mom! You're embarrassing me!!!!" [Page Six]
  • Star Jones' new TV show: Already dunzo. [Page Six]
  • The video of Heath Ledger that Entertainment Tonight and The Insider decided not to air didn't actually show Heath doing drugs. In the clip, Heath does say, "I used to smoke five joints a day for 20 years." But then immediately afterwards (which they may or may not have been planning to air) Heath says: "That's why I got this tattoo [an M, for daughter Matilda] to remind me never to smoke weed again." [Perez Hilton]
  • Debbie, sorry, Deborah, Gibson is conducting scholarship auditions and a reality show taping for Camp Electric Youth. And no, you're not trapped in a time warp. [AdRants]
