Season 8 Scoop from Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum generously answered all sorts of questions during a conference call this morning. Here are some highlights:

Project Runway Season 8 is still in production. Today is an elimination day!

The season 8 finale (at Lincoln Center) will be on September 9th. I tried to get her to spill on the number of finalists but she didn't say. She hinted that there would be decoys.

Let's pause here and think about how quickly the finalists will have to create their collections. Scary.

There will be an "alternative materials" challenge and Betsey Johnson will be the judge. Trivia: How many times has she served as a judge and what were the challenges?

This was already hinted at, but Heidi confirmed again that in the premiere episode, one designer will be eliminated before he or she even has the chance to unpack.

This sounds like a great idea: Philip Treacy will be the guest judge in a challenge to design a garment inspired by one of his hat designs.

There will be a challenge to design something for Heidi.

Not exactly news, but Models of the Runway has not been renewed. Heidi says it was a network decision.

Runway News - Quirky Duo Coming to Lifetime

"Lifetime is once again expanding its "Project Runway" universe."

This falls into the "We couldn't make this up" category.

Austin Scarlett and Santino Rice are going to cross the country making women over, certainly leaving a wake of diaphanous gowns behind.

According to Variety the new show was developed at Lifetime by exec veep JoAnn Alfano and will be produced by Rich Bye.

This intriguing item came to the mailbox yesterday. A highlight: ...producers have not yet publicly confirmed the name of the show said Peggy Hutton, Weatherford Chamber of Commerce secretary, and Trish Lynn, coach of the Cowgirl Chicks. The names of the two designers who worked on Project Runway’s first season are also not being released, Hutton said. And, the show will air sometime in July or August, said Lynn.

But, what is known is which Cowgirl Chick is going to get a gown made for the group’s banquet Saturday.

Surely this article is referring to the new show.

Any suggestions for a title???

The other project, tentatively titled "Love's Divine," will star Heidi Klum and her popstar husband, Seal as they travel the country counseling couples.
