As 2008 grinds to a close, the news concerning Season 6 remains grim. Harvey Weinstein, NBC and Lifetime appear to be locked in an interminable legal battle over the Project Runway franchise. Heidi Klum spent this month trying to convince everyone that the show would premiere in January however Tim Gunn is not so enthusiastic. Will a New Year bring new hope?

Meanwhile, there is other news to share as we toddle our way towards 2009:

Season 5 model Karalyn West does good, hosting a fund raiser for a lip-defect charity.

The Name's Cohen. Andy Cohen.

Season 2 designer Diana Eng is a nerd, and proud of it!

Baseball, basketball and Project Runway! Season 5 designer Joe Faris will appear at the Grand Kids Foundation celebrity charity basketball game next month.

Korto Momolu is inspirational as she speaks about Kwanzaa.

In With the New, we say!

Team BPR Visits Andy's Office!

One of the big highlights of our trip to NYC last week was the chance to visit the famous office digs of Andy Cohen, Bravo's Senior Vice President of Programming & Production. Our love of all things Andy is well documented and his office is better than advertised, filled with all sorts of TV memorobilia and kitsch. "More like a dorm room", as Andy puts it.

We shot a quick video interview with Andy on our visit and wanted to share it with you today as we prepare to watch Bravo's "20 Most Outrageous Moments" tonight at 10:00 p.m. We try to pry a few of the PR moments that made the list out of Andy and also ask the burning questions only we could think of like "What is your favorite color?" and "What do you take in your coffee?" Check it out!


Thanks to Andy and all the crew at Bravo for their welcome and hospitality.

From The Mailbox

The mail is a little light today. Perhaps with no new episode this week and the fans still in stunned disbelief over the preview of the next one, we are in a holding pattern. Still I have a couple of items of interest.

Ever wonder what's on Andy Cohen's desk? No? Well, it is a slow news day. Click here if you're really bored. (Just kidding, Andy!)

OUTspoken features a cute Q&A with Jack Mackenroth.

Finally, here is a fabulous article about the magical elves who create our favorite show!

BPR at the Season Four Fashion Show - Part Two

When I arrived at Lincoln Center and approached the "check-in" table, I thought I recognized the two gentlemen in front of me. It was Tom and Lorenzo! I hadn't seen them in ages so it was nice to reconnect. Once we got inside we realized that we were seated together. On my other side was JeAnne Swinley. (Hi Jeanne!) She was exactly as she appeared on Tim Gunn's Guide to Style. Smiling and beautiful.
