The speculation surrounding Tim Gunn's future on Project Runway continues to grow. The Entertainment Weekly story is out and contains these gems:Gunn, who didn't return calls for comment, has skirted questions about his contract and salary.
Listen, Tim is a man of integrity above all else. He's not about to jeapordize contract negotiations, however his silence is telling. Then there's this:
A source close to Runway claims concerned fans are jumping the Gunn. ''We're confident the whole team will be back,'' says the source. ''We'll find a way to work around his schedule.''
How exactly do they plan to do that? It seems clear now that Weinstein/NBCUniversal/Bravo want to push Season 4 into production in early 2007. Do they think they can film the Tim segments strictly at nights and on weekends? Please.
Andy Denhart at Reality Blurred weighs in:
Hopefully, he’s just playing hardball and demanding the cheap-asses at Bravo pay him what he’s worth.
Indeed.
