Kelly told you recently about NBC's legal attempt to block Project Runway from going to their Bravo channel over to Lifetime (Lifetime paid $150 million to air the show for the next five years). Now it looks like NBC is looking for contestants for a show that sounds very similar to Project Runway...and they're using Craigslist to find people to be on the show.The new Bravo show is going to be called Fashion House. The ad says that the winner will win "a large cash prize" and that the winner can use the show to "serve as the launching pad to catapult your fashion career into high gear."
Catapult your fashion career into high gear? What a horrible sentence.
Anyway, an insider says that NBC is really copying the show from top to bottom. Though I'm not really sure why this is a problem since Project Runway has been on Bravo from the start.
(I can't find the ad on Craigslist - I'm assuming New York? - so if anyone finds it let us know in the comments.)
