I figure that since Bravo

I know, I know, you're thinking, "Whaaaaaa?"
Bravo's Queer Eye For The Straight Guy was cancelled a while ago, but there have been ten episodes of the show finished for quite some time now, and Whitney over at USA Today has found out that the last season of the show will start airing this fall.
Interesting how this show just completely fell off the radar, eh? People talk about this show the way they talk about "The Macarena." But it was a fun show there for a while. Oddly, the Bravo web site doesn't even have a page for it anymore, though they do have one for Queer Eye For The Straight Girl.
Let me just come right out and say it: Jeffrey Sebelia, winner of Project Runway Season Three, is making costumes for the Bratz movie. Is that really the glorious post-Runway life? The cocky persona that Sebelia took on all season certainly led me to expect him to spend his prize money and fame on jetsetting and more neck tattoos to decorate his massive, massive neck, but, as it turns out, he isn't doing as great as one might expect. Not only is he quite broke, but ... did I mention his post-Runway project is doing the Bratz film? I was quite furious with him when he was on the program, but this article has actually made me -- dare I say it -- sympathize. Maybe he should have taken the Jay McCarroll route and skipped the winning contract to do his own thing.
Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, the once hugely popular makeover show on Bravo, has been canceled by the network. The series will have one last season coming up (titled Queer Eye: The Final Season). Design guru Thom Felicia gets his own show on the Style Network later this year.
This isn't a big surprise. Not only had ratings been dropping the last couple of years but the "buzz" that this show once had vanished completely. Personally, I got sick of all the "theme" blocks of episodes they did, like when the went to other areas of the country or did weddings. Nothing bores me more than planning a wedding, which I'm sure will thrill my fiancee in the future.

Bravo has officially decided to start airing the third season of Project Runway this summer in order to use September's Fall Fashion Week for the finale (where the three finalists -- and one other designer who's just there to throw off spectators and will not be aired -- compete with collections instead of individual garments). An hour-long casting special will air July 12 at 9PM ET/PT, with the first episode premiering at 10PM.
Product
placement doesn't even begin to describe this doozy. The fashions and furnishings from some television shows and movies
will soon be available on a new website, called StarStyle. At least six
production companies, including 19 Entertainment, which produces American Idol, will make clothing, furniture
and other items seen on the shows available for purchase on the website. You can shop by show, product, or brand name.
You can even shop by character, meaning that you can buy the same (but not the exact) Nicole
Miller black dress that Kellie Pickler wore last week on Idol. Yes, you can also get the 'Ace'
look. There are 'set
tours', where you pick out and purchase furnishings from all sorts of shows including As the World
Turns, Guiding Light, and The Young and the Restless. Soon, the website will also allow you to
shop the fashions in music videos. Does that include gold teeth and Bentleys?
Damon Wayans has been struggling for over a year now to get the word
"Nigga" trademarked for a line of clothing. Not surprisingly, his applications have been routinely rejected
due to a law which states trademarked names must not be "immoral or scandalous." This, of course, opens up a
whole philosophical can of worms. Is it okay for the name to be used on clothing if the man behind the clothing is
black? Do opinions matter if they're from outside the target demographic? If Wayans ever does manage to
launch his clothing line, I think the scandal alone could make it a very lucrative venture, something that surely isn't
lost on him.
Pretty soon, you'll be seeing the kids from MTV's Laguna Beach: The Real O.C. all over the place. Six of
them (Alex Murrel, Jason Wahler, Lauren Conrad, Stephan Colletti, Kristin Cavallari and Tallan Torriero) are part of a
new advertising campaign by BONGO clothing that launches in fashion, entertainment and lifestyle magazines this Spring.
The concept behind the campaign is a party. BONGO rented out a ritzy mansion in Orange County and let the kids do their
thing as the band, The Colour, played on set. Alex Murrel, who has an album coming out this spring (who
doesn't?), joined the band while the boys pushed each other into the pool, proving that they are barely out of high
school. The Laguna clan replaces an ad campaign last year by BONGO that featured Nicole Richie and her
ex-fiance, DJ AM.
