Last weekend we got our first look at the NEW trailer for season 6 of Project Runway which premieres on Lifetime TV on August 20 and while that is all well and good, there is even MORE good news to pass along. Lifetime has announced that they will air Project Runway: All-Star Challenge in conjunction with the debut of the new season of PR to ensure that fans of the show are well taken care of when the series moves to its new home network. According to Entertainment Weekly magazine, the All-Star Challenge will pit 8 former (and much beloved) PR contestants in a battle of fashion wits for a prize of $100,000! Here is who will be competing in this All-Star Challenge:

Kicking off its sixth season, Project Runway will welcome back eight superstar designers from years past, including Santino Rice (pictured), Jeffrey Sebelia and Sweet P, for a special two-hour “All-Star Challenge.” Prior to Lifetime’s Project Runway season premiere and the series premiere of Models of the Runway on Aug. 20, the Runway alums will match wits and fashions to compete for a $100,000 cash prize. Lifetime’s entire release, after the jump. Unprecedented Special Event to Air at 8:00PM ET/PT and Feature Designers from Previous Seasons Special to be Followed by the Season Six Premiere of PROJECT RUNWAY at 10PM ET/PT and the Debut of the All-New Companion Series MODELS OF THE RUNWAY at 11PM ET/PT

Here is the official press release: For the first time in Project Runway history, eight former fan favorites and Project Runway superstars are returning to the catwalk to compete against one another in the two-hour special, Project Runway: All-Star Challenge. The spirited competition premieres Thursday, August 20, at 8PM ET/PT and will be followed by the highly anticipated premiere of the sixth season of Project Runway at 10PM ET/PT and the debut of the all-new companion series, Models of the Runway, at 11PM ET/PT. The announcement was made today by Lifetime Television and The Weinstein Company. At stake for the designers are not only the ultimate bragging rights, but also a $100,000 cash prize. Will the designers be up to the challenge of returning to the workroom, working under the “Gunn” (as in Tim Gunn) to create a successful fashion line? Are they ready to, once again, face the critiques of Heidi Klum, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia, as they showcase their creations?

Daniel Vosovic, Season 2
Santino Rice, Season 2
Jeffrey Sebelia, Season 3
Uli Herzner, Season 3
Mychael Knight, Season 3
Chris March, Season 4
Sweet P, Season 4
Korto Momolu, Season 5

Wow!! What a great idea! I’ve always thought that PR should do an All-Star Challenge and I finallly got my wish. How amazing do Uli, Korto and Sweet P look? I think Jeffrey could do without the porn’stache and WTF? is up with the spelling of Michael Mychael Knight’s name? That’s new, right? Oh … who cares?! I am so in love with this idea. I can’t wait to see it! We’ve got SO MUCH Project Runway awesomeness to look forward to. Thus far, I’m very impressed with what Lifetime is doing with my fave competitive reality TV show. My confidence in their ability to do right by Project Runway continues to grow each day. Are you as excited as I am?

Here are a few new photos of Jennifer Lopez and her co-star Alex O’Loughlin on the NYC set of their new film The Back-Up Plan which is currently in production. As you can see, the on-screen couple have themselves a couple of twin babies who are supercute … they make a nice fake family, don’t you think?

In all honesty, J. Lo looks much better when she’s paired up with Alex O’Loughlin than she does with her real zombie-like hubby Marc Anthony. BUT, sometimes fiction is better than truth. On the LopAnthony front, J. Lo joined Marc at a press conference to announce to the world that they are now part-owners of the Miami Dolphins football team. After the jump, check out LopAnthony showing off their Dolphins jerseys at yesterday’s press conference …

On the season finale of Gossip Girl last Spring many changes took place with the gang to set up the coming season (filming now in NYC). We saw that Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass finally got together and we were introduced to the lovechild of Lily van der Woodsen and Rufus Humphrey. Here on the blog a few weeks ago, we learned that Joanna Garcia (formerly of The CW series Privileged) has joined the cast … and, of course, Michelle Trachtenberg is back as Georgina Sparks. Here are a few new pics of some of the cast on the NYC set of Gossip Girl this week:

I LOVE seeing Ed Westwick in fun t-shirt … clearly he was not in full Chuck Bass costume yet ‘cuz Chuck would never be seen in public wearing a t-shirt. I also love that Chace Crawford is carrying Joanna Garcia’s purse. Chace totally strikes me as the purse-carrying sort of fella. After the jump, check out with two characters will be getting into a new relationship in season 3 of Gossip Girl. Be warned, the photos are a bit spoilerish …

Earlier this year, hot on the heels of the marginal success of the remake of the famed 80’s horror slasher flick Friday the 13th (which hit theaters last February … Friday the 13th), we learned that plans were in the works for a redux of A Nightmare on Elm Street. Back in February, a ridic rumor that Lindsay Lohan had signed on to appear in the film started making the rounds and was quickly debunked. BUT, the movie did go into production and today we get our first look at Jackie Earle Haley in the role of Freddy Krueger in the new version of A Nightmare on Elm Street:

There was plenty of speculation as to who would take over the Freddy Krueger role once Platinum Dunes and New Line made it clear Robert Englund would not return for the new A Nightmare on Elm Street (set visit preview). Buzz built when actor Jackie Earle Haley signed onto the role and continued when fans considered what he would look like in the reboot hitting theaters on April 16, 2010. Here is your first look at a photo of Krueger, but it looks like we’ll have to wait a bit more for the full reveal.

ARGH!! This “first look” is a very crafty way to tease the new film without giving ANYTHING away. That could be your aunt Mable in this Freddy Krueger costume for all we know. I’m sure there will be plenty more to come from this new redux in the coming days … I understand Nightmare will have a heavy presence at Comic-Con this weekend. Stay tuned … we should be seeing more soon. Having seen the new version of Friday the 13th, are you excited for A Nightmare on Elm Street?

Yesterday was one of those great chill days for me where I didn’t leave the house … at all. ‘Twas nice just bummin’ around not having to be anywhere. I was expecting a delivery that was scheduled to arrive by 7pm and wouldn’t you know it, it didn’t arrive until 7pm. I shant complain tho because the delivery was of my new limited edition Leica D-LUX 4 Titanium camera:

I’m a big Leica fan … they make, IMHO, the best small size digital cameras around. I have been able to snap the most amazing photos in very low light concert settings with ease. I am very much looking forward to using my new camera to photograph the upcoming final Nine Inch Nails concerts in NYC and LA at the end of August/early September. Woot!!

Tonight, David and I are planning to hang out with our friend Johnny (who we haven’t seen in ages) but I’m not sure what the plan is just yet. Tho, hanging with Johnny is always fun so I’m not worried at all. Hope things are fabulous where you are ;)
