Tim Gunn Slams John McCain's Wife: "I'm Just Not A Fan"

Hillary vs. Obama? Old news!

Obama vs. McCain? Yawn!

Project Runway Mr. Nice Guy Tim Gunn vs. Cindy McCain? Hot shit!




Tim on Cindy: "I'm just not a fan. I don't know who her advisers are, but it's the whole look — her clothes have to be fixed too." He continued, "I just don't think she's capable of improving the look. "

It's on! Head over to New York for the story.

Christian Siriano Calls Britney A Tranny

Christian was a trend-setter on Project Runway, but any good trend setter knows that by the time your taped TV series or your movie or your album comes out, you better be over that catchphrase and onto a new one. Christian says he'd like to dress "tranny" Britney. Someone needs to whisper some inspiration into this poor kid's ear and let him know that the Britney backlash is winding down and now we're actually rooting for her again. We want Britney to be OK! We don't want to call her names! Be nice, Christian, before you're just a fierce tranny memory.

Project Runway's Christian Siriano & Hot Half-Naked Men At D.C. Pride

Here are some pics from a hot tranny mess of a Washington, D.C. gay pride party this past Friday at Town Danceboutique, D.C.'s hottest new gay club.

In attendance were Christian Siriano (who looks about 12 in person), actual hot tranny messes, effin hot Nuwear underwear models, and Bruce Vilanche. Oh, and US!!

So fun!!

Thanks to photographer Pepper Weeks for the pics!

JMack Won't Be Back on Project Runway :-(

We were sure the delicious and uber-talented Jack Mackenroth would be back on the next season of Project Runway...but we were wrong. We're sad, but we understand: First of all, Runway is moving from gay-friendly Bravo to "Television for Women" network Lifetime, which is pretty sure to change at least some elements of the production and tone down the gay factor at least a little bit. But more importantly, as Jack told the New York Post in the quote below, his specialty is menswear, which Runway notoriously disregards. It's a shame; with the influence Runway has had on the public's interest in and knowledge of fashion, the show could really open people's minds to more interesting men's stylings.

Oh well. Jack will be fine, and we'll be on the lookout for his designs...here's what Jack told the NY Post.

“After a long process of weighing the pros and cons of returning to Project Runway Season 5, I have decided not to audition again. Though I loved my experience on the show and hope to continue working with Bravo in the future, I really feel that it’s time to start the next chapter of my life. During my short stint on season 4, I was never in the bottom three and I won the menswear challenge, which is my field of expertise, so I feel like I accomplished most of what I started.

I do, however, want to thank all the viewers and vocal fans who have continually voiced their desire to see me back on Season 5. I hope that I haven’t let anyone down, but in the end I came to realize that I could not give up another year of my life. Even my short stint on Project Runway has presented me with so many opportunities ranging from design to television and an area that is closest to my heart, HIV activism. I really couldn’t have asked for more.

I especially want to give thanks to the HIV community, which has been so supportive over the last year. If anything, I hope that I have shown you that it is possible to live successfully with HIV. You have not seen the last of me!

To the next batch of designers on Season 5…sew your hearts out!”

Happy 39th birthday to hot Taurus, brilliant designer, reality TV star and AIDS activist Jack Mackenroth!

Jack is arguably the most visible Project Runway candidate ever, or at least is in fierce competition for that title with current winner Christian Siriano, which is ironic since Jack had to leave the show halfway through the season due to illness.

Well, there's no question Jack is back and, er, bigger than ever!

We love you, Jack, and we hope you come back to the show next season despite its move to Lifetime, which still calls itself "television for women."

Jack is enough man for all of us! Wish Jack a happy birthday on his MySpace page!

D&G Men's Fall 2008 Runway

From the looks of these Russia-ready coats and heavy woven fabrics, it's going to be a collld fall.

We can't wait!

Usually we think D&G is a little over the top with its stuff--even for the runway--but this new collection is spot-on. We want all of it!

See the full collection at Men.style.

Christian Siriano Oversteps His Bounds

We love Project Runway winner Christian Siriano because 1) He's talented as hell and 2) He's just a big gay freak.

But, uh, he didn't coin the phrase "fierce" and he can't deem that it should no longer be used. And yet he does exactly that.

Tick, tick, tick, Christian. Don't press your luck or you'll be expired.

Make Me A Supermodel: Final Shots & Verdict

So.

The creative genius that is Bravo's "Make Me A Supermodel" is wrapping up, and left us with...


This.

Where the hell is RuPaul when you need her? Bravo seriously missed an opportunity here that you know Tyra Banks would have exploited to its comic potential. This is why ANTM will still be "cycling" when people are having this conversation:

"Hey, remember that supermodel show on Bravo?"

"Top Chef?"

"No, the modeling one."

"Project Runway?"

"No, the show with the models."

"America's Next Top Model? That's not on Bravo."

"Never mind."

"Yeah."


Yeah. Sorry, Perry, but this is not hot.

But it's not your fault. This look is someone's idea of "water." Really. If this show comes back, we hope it has better creative direction. Tyson and Nicki need to just sit there and look pretty. No more input.

This is Ben's last shoot:



Notice how his Cro Magnon face is totally obscured by this sheer black sheet.

Notice how it's his best picture ever.

Notice how he got the most compliments...on his body.



It is a pretty hot body. They'll love it back in prison.

Speaking of which, whatever happened to his wife? Whatever happened to his Ronnie romance? Whatever happened to...oh, who cares?

The reason this show infuriates me is because of its total editorial inconsistence. Haven't the producers learned anything about reality TV after all these years? When you create a character out of someone, you're supposed to at least try to be consistent throughout the season.

But remember Jackie? During the casting show, she was the best walker, the hottest, the most professional. She was still the best model in the second show, but she refused to wear a thong because of moral reasons. (A moral model? A model who refuses to wear a thing? WTF?) Then, two episodes later she posed naked. Then the former most professional and experienced was a bad walker, and she was farting on camera and screaming at everyone. Was this all the same person, really? Was this...oh, who cares?

That's the thing. I just don't care. But let's look at more hotness...




Ever notice how much better Ben looks the farther away he gets? That's hot.


Ben waves bye-bye as his soulless model self fades away into nothingness.

Goodbye fifteen minutes! Hello, prison!



One of the judges--the one with the creepy fixation on 19-year-old Casey's pretty, beautiful, gorgeous, breathtaking face--called Ronnie "King of the Wood." Bravo's gay viewers clearly agree, as their woodies keep voting this pretty boy back week after week, even after the judges' insistence that he's. Not. A. Supermodel.


*Pout*

*Strut*

Ronnie is so cute.

Ronnie is so gay.

Ronnie is so Dream Date.

I may be in love with Ronnie, despite hating this show.

But I still wouldn't put him on my runway, unless I was doing some kind of boarding school theme.

I'd totally buy a Falcon video starring him, though.

In full disclosure, I don't *hate* Make Me A Supermodel. It's been entertaining and all, but disappointing, and here's why:




Holly is hot.



Holly is red hot.



Holly is fierce in a couture dress made just for her, courtesy of Project Runway winner Christian Siriano.



Holly, basically, is flawless.

Holly, basically, is a supermodel.

But she doesn't stand a chance. Because this show is on Bravo, and she's too--well, let's be honest, she's too female to win a modeling show.

No matter how perfect she has been (and she has been perfect), and regardless of possibly being five pounds heavier than a typical high-fashion model, she is clearly the deserving winner of this show.

Of all the modeling shows on TV, this young woman has more potential to be a "supermodel" or "top model" than anyone else. But she's not going to win. Even though she deserves to.

We're hoping Bravo's viewers--or, as the network likes to refer to them, "America"--will choose Holly. We're hoping they will prove us wrong. But we have a feeling "America" will choose Ronnie, because the gay guys who watch Bravo don't really want a supermodel; they want a Dream Date.

Oh well. There's always next cycle.
