Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn and Michael Kors are my vice every Wednesday. Project Runway is the jewel of Bravo and launched several catchphrases thanks to Tim urging contestants to “make it work,” while last season’s winner Christian Siriano killed us with his overuse of the phrase “hot tranny mess” and the word “fierce.”

Now that the beloved fashion reality show has found a new home with Lifetime, rumors of a sabotage have begun to rumble. The premiere episode of the last season on Bravo was, to put it nicely, dreadful. The challenge was a throwback from the first season. Contestants had to create an outfit from raw materials found from a grocery store. The group of halfwit style aficionados all chose a table cloth instead of fashioning a jumpsuit from ramen noodles and floss. Where is the wow factor and challenge, not to mention actual talented designers?

The typical media frenzy shilling the show is also missing. Of course, a budget for a show that has served it’s purpose has dwindled. It is being said that Bravo is trying to “kill” the show before it is yanked away to swim in the seas of “television for women” flanked by Golden Girls reruns.

Theories have been put forth that Bravo doesn’t really want to spend money on a show that it’s losing, but I don’t buy it. Look at all the promoting they did for their silly A List Awards. That was only for one night, and you’d have thought the pope was coming to town there was so much fanfare. There are still advertising and branding dollars to be made here, and Bravo has to know that.

Along with the sabotage rumors come spoilers. Leaks to Wikipedia early today revealed the next 4 eliminations. The chart containing the contestants who have been eliminated popped onto the site. Since the news of the spoilers on Wikipedia started to spread the chart been removed, but you can still see it on Gawker (spoilers). So is it real or is the work of some hoax-driven maniac out to take the mystery out of Project Runway?

Here is your guest judge spoiler alert! I hear they have employed Apolo Anton Ohno to fill the judgment seat just in time for the Olympics. Brooke Shields will follow with a jungle themed episode and RuPaul finally scores a spot. I am not sure why LL Cool J is deemed worthy to participate, but I am hoping there is some shirtless-ness involved. Finally, Diane von Furstenberg, Francisco Costa and Cynthia Rowley rescue Michael Kors from the celebrity hell.

I am pretty sure that with Natalie Portman guest hosting the next episode and Rachel Zoe clawing her way on we should put the show on suicide watch.

Note by Celebitchy: Please welcome occasional guest writer, fashion and hair expert Micah McCain. He’s a Hollywood fashion stylist and pop culture expert. He’s worked on stars such as Lauren Conrad and has appeared as a panelist on the Chelsea Handler Show. Micah’s commentary on the fashion and style of the celebrities at the “Trump International Hotel and Tower Dubai at The Park Avenue Plaza” on 6/23/08 is below.

Heidi Klum:
I think if you’re married to Seal, than you shouldn’t be wearing it!
If only 2007 Christie Brinkley looked as much like 1984 Christie Brinkley as 2008 Heidi Klum does! KFC has bigger breasts than she does in that top!

Demi Moore:
“A” Your bag should match your shoes, not your hair. “B” Those shoes go with that dress as much as Dick Cheney goes with target shooting. “C” I get that the hair is supposed to be a throw back to Veronica Lake, but frankly she should just throw it back. And “D” That dress looks like a failed attempt at hanging herself using her satin sheets.

Melania Trump:
Judging by that look on her face, she should change her name to Melania STUMPED!
She’s a blonde dye job away from being cast as the live action Smurfette.
Is it me, or does her eye shadow have as many colors going on as his hair does?

Naomi Watts:
Okay let’s REALLY break this down: Why would someone dress like a flapper waitress who’s into foot bondage and then not take a single minute to do anything with her hair, or let alone complete the ensemble by putting on a sequin headband with a feather in it? WATT was she thinking? I’ll tell you what she was thinking, she was thinking “Maybe if don’t do anything with my hair then they’ll focus on how I look like Nicole Kidman without any make-up on, instead of focusing on the fact that I look like the runner up in the ‘Little Miss England Pageant’ after the talent competition!” SHE’S WEARING A SEQUIN DICKEY! I guess she figured if they weren’t gonna roll out the red carpet, then she wasn’t going to dress for it.

Heidi Klum, 34, and Seal, 45, return to Costa Careyes, Mexico every year to renew their vows at the same resort where they married in 2005. On May 10th they held an Indian-themed renewal ceremony and party attended by 50 guests. Heidi wore a red wedding sari for the day, according to this week’s edition of In Touch.

Last year the romantic couple held their commitment ceremony on May 13. Heidi and Seal’s first wedding on Costa Careyes was attended by just Heidi, Seal and her daughter Leni. They have since expanded their family to include boys Henry, two years and eight months, and Johan, 18 months.

Heidi revealed about two weeks ago that Seal proposed to her in a custom-made igloo he had built and outfitted in the Canadian Rockies in December, 2004. He arranged for both of them to be flown by helicopter up to the secluded igloo, which featured a bed, candles, and rose petals strewn around.

Can you imagine getting married every year? It seems like it might dilute the experience a little if you’re renewing your vows every year instead of every few years or at specific milestones in the relationship. At least it’s something incredible to look forward to. These two set the romantic bar incredibly high. If you had all that money at your disposal would you get married to your spouse every year? I think I might just go on vacation with my husband as much as possible. The honeymoon is the best part.

I think about 90% of the women in the world wish their partner was more romantic. I tried to see if Cosmo magazine had a poll on this but I couldn’t find one. After reading this story, I suspect that closer to 100% will want their men to emulate Seal, and his big gesture to Heidi Klum.

“[Seal] took me by helicopter,” the Project Runway host, 34, tells Marie Claire’s June issue about their December 2004 vacation to the Canadian Rockies. “He had an igloo built there, and they’d brought up everything: a bed with sheets inside the igloo, rose petals everywhere, candles. Very, very romantic!”

As she goes on to describe, “There was food and champagne, and then the helicopter left. It was a little scary, too, because you’re so cut off from the world. No trees, nothing – it was hardcore. But I was ecstatic.”

People

That has to be a hard romantic gesture to top, and one of the best marriage proposals I’ve ever heard. Definitely better than TomKat’s cliché Eiffel Tower publicity stunt. Most of all, I’m impressed that Heidi managed to keep that story to herself for so long, as she and Seal were engaged in December 2004.

Seal and Heidi Klum are shown at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on 11/15/07, thanks to PRPhotos.

Heidi Klum’s birthday present to Victoria Beckham was either meant for her three boys and husband, or was a not-so-subtle encouragement for Posh to gain some much-needed weight. Since it’s Klum we’re talking about, I would bet that she meant it as more of a family gift. After she handled the minor controversy with Iman so well, I don’t consider her capable of sending cupcakes to Posh to try and tempt the stick-thin paparazzi target into eating something.

Klum had a dozen cupcakes from celebrity favorite elite bakery Sprinkles sent to Posh for her 34th birthday with a note that said “Happy Birthday – expect a dozen every Friday! Love, Heidi.”

In Touch reported this news in their latest issue, and said that it will probably cost around $2,000 for the weekly cupcake delivery service.

The Sprinkles website is well designed and makes me want to stuff one of those overpriced delectables into my mouth. A gift box of just a dozen costs a whopping $46, so if Heidi sent a year’s worth it’s around $2,400 not including delivery costs.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are also cupcake aficionados, and Tom told Oprah that Katie won his kids over by bringing cupcakes the first time he met her. Cupcakes were on the table in the kitchen when Oprah came over, with Tom calling their home “the sugar house.”

It’s not like “Kate” eats even one of those a day, and they’re more for the kids. In Touch reminds us that Victoria Beckham said “no” when Barbara Walters asked her if she would ever eat a cookie, as if we needed to hear from her that she doesn’t eat bakery items.

Cupcakes must be the new Hollywood decoration. They’re so colorful, fluffy and completely off limits. Kind of like those glass candies that grandmothers keep in a bowl. Although in this case the pain of eating them is purely psychological.

Heidi Klum launched her line of Jordache Jeans at Bloomingdales in Beverly Hills yesterday. The 34 year-old model and mother of three answered a reporter’s question about comments from model Iman, who hosts Canada’s version of Project Runway. Iman said that she has much more experience with high fashion than Klum, who hosts Project Runway in the US.

Klum said that Iman was right and that she is more qualified to host a fashion design show:

“She [Iman] has done all the big big fashion shows that I’ve never done. She’s been doing it for a little while longer, and she has met all the big big designers in the world.”

The 5′ 9 1/2″ 130 pound Klum also added that she doesn’t have the slight build required for a high fashion model: “I never really fit in the clothes. I tried. But I never got to walk in Paris and do all the big big fashion shows.”

[Quotes transcribed from E! Online interview, available below]

So much for any feud between Heidi and Iman. Heidi Klum bugs me sometimes because her wide mouth seems to plaster nearly every drugstore and billboard in Germany where I live. She always comes across as funny and gracious in interviews, though and she certainly handled this issue well.

For her part Iman seemed like she was answering a specific question about the differences between herself and the US host, Heidi, and she was honest and not too snotty about it. She said “Definitely Heidi and I come from two different places. I’m not belittling Heidi Klum, but I have been in fashion much more than she has. Not to toot my own horn, but I have been one of the best runway girls.”

Most of you agreed in the comments that Iman was just being upfront about her experience, and Heidi thinks so too.

52 year-old Somali-born former supermodel Iman currently hosts Project Runway Canada, and she’s not shy about touting her qualifications for the job. Iman says she’s much more qualified to host the fashion-judging contest than Heidi Klum, the host of the US version. Iman starts by saying “Not to belittle Heidi Klum…” and then goes on to sort-of do just that, saying that she has so much fashion experience while we’re supposed to come to conclusion that Klum is less knowledgeable about the industry:

She says, “Definitely Heidi and I come from two different places. I’m not belittling Heidi Klum, but I have been in fashion much more than she has. Not to toot my own horn, but I have been one of the best runway girls.

“I know clothes, and I know about working hand in hand with designers, I mean, I’ve worked with Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, John Galliano. Yves St Laurent – he created a whole collection for me. Tom Ford, Valentino. Versace. Jean Paul Gaultier. Thierry Mugler… I could go on and on.”

Iman has been married to rock legend David Bowie for over 15 years, and they have a daughter together, Lexi, 7. Iman also has a 28 year-old daughter from her first marriage to basketball player Spencer Haywood, and is the stepmother to Bowie’s 37 year-old son from his first marriage. Iman says she’s a “total domestic diva” and that she cooks every night at home. She has her own cosmetic company and published a book in 2005 called The Beauty of Color: The Ultimate Beauty Guide for Skin of Color.

When I read this story I was surprised that Iman would say this as I remember seeing her on Oprah and she didn’t seem full of herself to me. I also watched another interview with her on YouTube and again she didn’t give the impression that she was stuck up. Maybe that goes along with the territory when you’ve been a supermodel though, and it’s possible this quote was taken out of context and someone asked her specifically about the differences between herself and the US host of the show. Heidi Klum isn’t exactly famous for her high fashion experience and is best known as a swimsuit and Victoria’s Secret model, although she certainly has catwalk experience.

Iman is shown at “A Night of a Thousand Lights” Benefiting Saint Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital on 4/23/08, thanks to PRPhotos. She looks amazing.

Seal was sure pissed off when he left Maestro’s restaurant with his wife Heidi Klum last night. He went off at the photographers trying to talk to them outside, refusing to shake a guy’s hand and calling him “scum” and a “cockroach.” As Seal is signing autographs the guy is talking to him and Seal gets more pissed off, saying the paps ruin peoples lives and that he wouldn’t want their job. Heidi seems uncomfortable and looks away while her husband is going off.

It seems to me that Seal knows this guy and has a grudge against him due to some kind of history they have together. I would bet he’s trailed Seal and Heidi before and that he has a good reason for being pissed off at this specific guy.

It’s got to suck to not be able to go out and live a normal life for some of these celebrities, and Seal gets it bad because his wife is so famous. They get photographed wherever they go and are usually very gracious and smiling for the paps. I would bet that the guy Seal is hating on has stepped over the line with him before and that he’s trying to provoke him. The photographer ended up getting footage that’s worth something because Seal got annoyed and mouthed off.

Late last year George Clooney talked about how the paparazzi were no longer content just to film celebrities and that they’re trying to create situations to get reactions. He called them “bounty hunters” and said:

“These people are being paid so much that they are willing to commit crimes, to break into your house, to cut you off in traffic, to run lights, to slam on the brakes in front of you, to get the money shot. It’s creating bounty hunters.”

He know that no one wants to hear a wealthy actor saying how rough his life is. “I am one and I don’t want to hear it. But these people are blowing through lights, driving like maniacs and they’re putting people’s lives in jeopardy, including innocent bystanders who are not participating but become part of the game.”

[From LA Times blog The Dish Rag]

Seal probably isn’t just reacting to this guy yelling stupid shit to him outside a restaurant, he’s pissed because of the way that the paparazzi overstep their boundaries constantly. I hope that’s the case and that there’s nothing wrong with his relationship with Heidi. It’s also possible that he may have a different reason to be upset and is just taking it out on the photographer.

Here’s the video, thanks to Hollywood.tv.

And here are some photos of Heidi and Seal last night during the incident, thanks to Splash News. Heidi looks great without makeup.

Heidi Klum was on the Jimmy Kimmel show last night to promote Project Runway, and they had a big trampoline on the stage. Heidi and Seal have one at home, so Kimmel brought one on to add some variety to the show. It’s pretty amusing watching them jump up and down and try and talk.

Klum took off her shoes and urged Kimmel to remove his socks, and he said “no” at first but then gave in. When he removed his socks he had polish on his right foot, and said “I have something embarrassing. Ben Affleck painted my toenails the other day, and there’s still some of it on there.”

Yesterday Klum was on Ellen, and there was a cute kind of flirty exchange between the two. Ellen gave Klum a t-shirt to cover up her legs because her dress was too short. The t-shirt featured Ellen’s face, and Ellen said “Hopefully we have an overhead shot of that, because that’s fantastic” Heidi looked down at it said “You have the bluest eyes.” Ellen said “Thank you” and looked a little embarrassed and laughed, saying “that’s ridiculous.” Heidi said “I’ll wear pants next time,” and Ellen answered “No you look great.”

Klum sure knows how to promote her shows, and she comes across as genuine along with being a lot of fun.
