I’ve tweeted (or retweeted) these over the past few days, but wanted to include them in a post before they disappear from the side bar . . .

Kathy Najimy (Sister Act) will be the one to un-brace Betty later this season on March 24th! (Via EW.com )

In other “Betty News,” it looks like indeed it is Hilda that is getting married at the end of the season/series.

Supermodels of the world Heidi Klum and Paulina Porizkova are set to appear on “Desperate Housewives” in March, presumably as themselves as it’s part of a story with Gabby (once a model herself). (Via E! Online )

Side note with some “Runway” news. Because of the way it worked out schedule wise this season, the show is sending 10 designers to Bryant Park to showcase their works. The news broke awhile ago, Tim Gunn ended up confirming it on a video blog. However only 3 will be the finalists shown on TV and only one can win. Still, as many have complained, it takes the specialness out of the show as this is what they are all competing for, to make it to Bryant Park/Fashion Week.

SNL funny lady Molly Shannan is set to appear on “Glee!” as a new astronomy teacher Brenda Castle, who is Sue’s archnemesis! ( Via E! Online ) )

Okay I remember Marla and Maya, I think, the two girls that are clones of each other and Angelica Houston when she starred in “The Witches.” However with Ping and then Jesus (HaySus) going home, I don’t remember anyone else’s names. I know two of the guys (white “straight” boy, and bitchy gay black guy) I loath along with Marla (the one who has been winning?). I think they are all full of themselves.

I was actually sad to see Ping go, but not shocked. I thought Jesus should have gone weeks ago and was glad to see him gone.

I have befriended a few past contestants on the show via Facebook, and according to them the season finale is now being taped. So if your one that can’t wait to find out who is in the finals, you should be able to Google soon enough. Me, I want to savor the bitchiness and drama for a bit more

So I saw the entire 2nd episode of “Runway” and the last 20 minutes of the first one, which means I missed all the intros of the designers. However I can read that online, and by week 4 Lifetime will start their weekend marathons of the show for sure.

As always, I don’t know anyone’s name except for Ping, because it’s a name that sticks with you, and she made that dress with the girl’s ass hanging out!

I haven’t decided on who I like and don’t like yet, and who I think will be a problem. The one guy who dresses really outrageous and flashy (reminds me of Jeffery actually from a few seasons ago) I think could be the jerk of the season. He seems really full of himself and in the previews for this week a complete jerk.

So far it seems like they actually have a lot of people with real talent this season. That was a problem last season I feel, nobody was a real “WOW” factor in the show.

I was shocked on this last show that the girl who made the denim dress was booted. I thought for sure Jesus (yeah his name is easy to remember too) with his ribbon covered outfit would go simply because he used more ribbon than the potato sack (and usually they hate when the designers cheat like that in these specific challenges).

As a final note, I am thrilled though that they are back in New York, as it seems like Michael Koors and Nina Garcia are back as full time judges. Their lack of presence last season I think really hurt the show.

“Project Runway” Season 7 airs on Lifetime January 14th. If it seems a little fast, it’s because Season 6 had been in the can for awhile, but when the show jumped from Bravo to Lifetime, the legal disputes put airing it on hold.

Lifetime’s Website already has some previews of the next 16 designers up right here. I am hoping this season is better than last for sure.

Last night was the season six finale of “Project Runway” and it came down to Althea, Carol Hannah and Meena Irina.

I was impressed by the quality of all their clothes actually, but as collections . . . no. Heidi herself made the comment about Carol Hannah’s collection that they were great separate pieces but not a collection. However she was the only one who played with color period. Althea’s could be said to be a collection almost only because they were all similar colors, but again very different pieces. Unfortunately Irina only had a real cohesive collection, though it was all black and they slammed her for that.

In the end Meena Irina ended up winning, which by the way they edited their comments, made it look like she was going to be the first to go. I get that she had a good tailored collection and it was the most cohesive . . . I just felt it looked like some pony fetish S&M wear for the most part. Even Michael Coors commented on the Xena Warrior Woman look to it.

This season was actually delayed from airing, big time, because of all the lawsuits involved in the transition from Bravo to Lifetime. So if you are already missing Runway, the show announced last night that season 7 begins airing on January 14th! I just hope next seasons the designers are better than this season and step it up.

It’s been awhile since I did a “Project Runway” post so I thought I would do one. Frankly I haven’t been into this season as much, because I feel Michael Koors and Nina Garcia have only been judging sporadically. I think that the show not only loses something, but it makes the judging very unbalanced. I mean one guest just a week won’t offset the voting balance, but when you have 2-3 guests a week . . . how do you keep judging stable and fair?

As much as I still love Christopher, I was shocked they kept him over Sharin a few weeks back. Christopher really should have gone. I was stunned they kept Nicholas as long as they did too. He should have gone weeks ago. Last night Logan went, which I wasn’t too sad about. Gordana’s looks wasn’t that great, but she has been better overall than Logan.

Meanwhile “Meana Irina” as Logan called her, she really is a snot. She’s talented, but since she hasn’t ever been in the bottom, I think she’s put herself on a pedestal. Can’t wait till someone knocks her off, but I think she’ll make it to the finals (along with the two blonds).

Last night’s “Project Runway” sure brought the drama between Johnny and Nicholas, and Johnny and the others.

The challenge was to make a dress or outfit out of newspaper. As usual Nicholas was running his mouth about how everyone else’s outfits sucked. Meanwhile he had nothing! I am tired of his mouth as this is a weekly occurrence with him, so I was so hoping this would be his week to go.

When Tim didn’t really feel Johnny’s dress, Johnny threw it out and started over. However he quickly seemed to give up and start doing crossword puzzles. When his model showed up he crafted this lie that the original dress got ruined by the iron. The other designers who heard this were in shock.

Fast forward to the runway. Nicholas and Johnny were both the bottom two. Johnny told his lie again to explain his shoddy work, but Nicholas claimed Tim hated the original dress anyways so it wasn’t good. Johnny however was sent home.

Now usually Tim is always like “Oh so-and-so, we are sorry to see you go . . . ” This time he coldly said “I’m going to have to ask you to go pack up your things.” The minute Johnny left he told the others that he was in shock of the utter fabrications and excuses coming out of Johnny’s mouth on the runway!

I don’t feel bad at all, Johnny did himself in. Nicholas, next week I think you’ll be gone unless it’s a challenge week and someone else saves you!

Oh as for the winner . . . It was someone who had never won yet. The girl that made the paper coat. I really liked it, but kinda felt Chris should have one too as his dress was amazing. Both were winners!

Post Note: I got so caught up in the Johnny/Nicholas drama I forgot to make mention . . . where the hell are Michael and Nina? I’m sorry but they are a much of “Project Runway” as Heidi and Tim, and without them judging . . . the show is missing a lot! I also feel without them there every week the judging isn’t as fair and balanced from week to week!

So last week on “Project Runway,” Marvin (the guy with the Kajagoogoo hair) was sent home as his mother-hen-egg inspired garment was just a hot tranny mess. Mitchell found himself with a stern warning from Heidi that he had just barely made it by.

This week, Heidi wasn’t so kind. Mitchell found himself team leader and chose Ramon to be on his team. He all but said he did so because he knew Ramon would carry him through this week! Well as it turned out, Ramon did everything and won the challenge, with Mitchell being sent home for admitting he did nothing. Heidi coldly said “Never in the history of project runway has the team leader of a winning team been sent home.”

Frankly Mitchell should have gone week one when he didn’t sew a damn thing! I and probably all other fans are wondering how Mitchell got on this show. They have shown casting specials in the past, and you have to show up with a portfolio and gowns. Did he cheat his way in? Did he sleep his way in? Was the show this desperate this season?

I was watching a little of the “Models of the Runway” show last week, the show the models have that follows. The episode was basically about insulting and complaining about poor Mitchell. None of the models liked him, and the model he chose last week made it clear she was pissed he chose her.

It’s week three and Mitchell is finally gone. Frankly I feel bad for the first two designers let go as he skated by. I mean hey, I made a kick ass sweat shirt in home-ec in 7th grade. I feel like now I too can make it to at least week three on “Project Runway”

So this is just a quick blathering of thoughts about the Season Six premier of “Project Runway” on Lifetime.

First, oooo-weee did they pick a cast of characters! Primadonnas, ditzy blonds, guys having nervous breakdowns, a woman living on another planet and an Asian guy who thinks he’s the lead singer for Kajagoogo. Yes this show sure can pick them!

I thought it was interesting that the ex-drug addict who was about to crack and give up had one of the best outfits, along with the boy from Minnesota who won the challenge and had no formal training.

Meanwhile those bottom three . . . what to even say? I have to admit even though that one girl was a space cadet, she at least sewed something. That other guy had a collar and a see-through cloth draped over his model. I kinda thought he should have gone home simply because he really didn’t do a thing.

It should be an interesting season for sure!

“Project Runway” doesn’t make it’s Lifetime debut until August 20th at 10pm, but the new designers were revealed this Sunday during “Drop Dead Diva” and “Army Wives.” You can read all about them over at MyLifetime.com.

I can’t wait for the new season!
