Last Thursday Lifetime TV aired the finale episode of, IMHO, the WORST season of Project Runway in the show’s 8 season life and I was so insulted and offended as a fan by the outcome of the final judging that I couldn’t even blog about the outcome because I felt so let down by a show that I once loved so fiercely. Entertainment Weekly posted an inspired episode recap HERE that really spoke for me and, I’m sure, many of the loyal PR fans who felt slighted by the outcome of this most recent season of the show. Curiously, judges Nina Garcia and Michael Kors (the ones responsible for choosing the winning designer this season) canceled interviews to discuss the finale of Project Runway (most notably, they canceled an interview with Entertainment Weekly) and, in fact, no one involved with the show wants to talk about or defend what I feel was the WORST judging mistake in Project Runway history. The amazing Tim Gunn, tho, did go on the record … kinda … about the outcome of this season of Project Runway in comments he made at a Kate Spade event in Pennsylvania over the weekend:

After the jump, check out video of Tim Gunn‘s comments about the season 8 finale outcome of Project Runway …

At the close of last season on Gossip Girl, Jenny Humphrey (played by Taylor Momsen) was exiled from NYC, NY by Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) after her sexual liaison with Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) was uncovered. It would appear that all of that is just water under the bridge because Little J is coming back to NYC, coming back to Gossip Girl … and she’s bringing the amazing Tim Gunn with her:

Although Blair (Leighton Meester) made it perfectly clear that Little J was no longer welcome in Manhattan after what happened with Chuck (Ed Westwick), Jenny (Taylor Momsen) is tempted by a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Tim Gunn (“Project Runway”), which could be a game changer for her future. Meanwhile, Serena (Blake Likely) discovers something about her new boyfriend, Colin (guest star Sam Page), that may put an end to their relationship just as it was getting good. Penn Badgley, Chace Crawford, Jessica Szohr, Kelly Rutherford and Matthew Settle also star.

As you may recall, back in August we got to see Tim Gunn on the GG set and now we know when he’ll debut on the show … Monday October 25. I guess Jenny will be coming back to NYC to attend classes at Parsons New School for Design and that is why Tim is appearing on the show. I understand that Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner and Isaac Mizrahi will also be appearing on the 10/25 ep. Set those DVRs, it’s an ep you Gossip Girl fans do not want to miss. I’m still loving the show, really loving Tim Gunn … Taylor‘s miserable smirk, notsomuch. Eh, I guess you can’t love everything ;)

Yesterday we got to see a few videos recorded by celebs in support of young GLBT people who may be feeling hopeless and, very sadly, suicidal due to harassment, bullying and/or rejection from others. Today I want to share one more video that features fashion guru and Project Runway host Tim Gunn sharing his own story of attempted suicide. As you may recall, we learned last month about Gunn‘s suicide attempt when I talked bout his new book in which he shares his story. In light of the tragic string of GLBT suicides in recent weeks, Tim Gunn was inspired to share his story personally in a video of his own:

Messages like this have more impact when they come directly from someone who endured the same situations in their youths. I can’t think of a better person to look to as an example of the fact that “It Gets Better” than Tim Gunn. This man tried to end his life at 17 … was thankfully unsuccessful in his attempt and found the strength to soldier on and achieve major success in his adult life. Of course the same staggering success cannot be promised to everyone but life does get better from the youthful despair that so many young people suffer. I love Tim Gunn so much … his decision to share his personal story in an attempt to help save the lives of other is just so inspiring. It does get better … and The Trevor Project is there to offer help and support 24/7.

Tim Gunn, co-shot on Project Runway and all around fashion guru, made an appearance on Access Live here in the US recently and he opened up about an attempted suicide from his youth. Tim talks about the incident in his new book Gunn’s Golden Rules: Gunn’s Golden Rules: Life’s Little Lessons for Making It Work but shared very candidly why he attempted to take his own life on Access Live:

Celebrity style guru Tim Gunn was a tortured teenager who tried to commit suicide at the age of 17. The “Project Runway” star makes the shocking revelation in his new book, “Gunn’s Golden Rules”, admitting he was plagued with depression as a teen and tried to swallow pills to end his life. Appearing on America’s “Access Live” news programme, he explains, “I was a very, very unhappy kid and I thought, what does the world have to offer me? And more importantly, what do I have to offer the world? And I had incredibly low self-esteem and made a decision. Fortunately I wasn’t successful.” The 57 year old credits his friends and family with helping him to get through the struggle, adding, “It’s only because of a lot of wonderful people who nurtured me and cared about me that I’m still here.”

Wow … I find this heartbreaking and very surprising. Knowing Tim Gunn‘s confidence now, it’s very hard to believe he was ever in a place where he attempted suicide. I shudder to think what we all would’ve lost if he had been successful. I’m glad Tim decided to share his story because it goes to show that a person can overcome their personal demons and go on to achieve huge successes in life. There are countless young people out there struggling with the same darkness that Tim endured … here’s hoping Tim‘s story will inspire those people to soldier on and preserver. I’ve been fortunate to have never been in a suicidal frame of mind but I can see how hearing stories of survival like this might help others to deal with their own pain an hopelessness. Thank goodness Tim Gunn was unsuccessful at least once in his life.

The always fabulous Tim Gunn will be bringing his keen fashion sense know-how to the upcoming 4th season of Gossip Girl which will return to the CW in just a few short weeks will all new eps. Here are a couple photos of Tim on the GG set yesterday afternoon:

While I’m fairly certain that they will make Tim deliver at least one of his famous catchphrases, I hope they let him expand his “character” a bit … I love me some Tim just the way he is but I wouldn’t mind seeing a different side of the man … perhaps a bitchy side … a side prone to slapping people across the face for their heinous fashion choices? Meh. I can dream, can’t I? I’m really excited for new eps of GG … I can’t wait to see Tim Gunn on the show.

After production was halted last week due to a fairly serious accident on set, things appear to be back to normal on the Manhattan set of the upcoming film The Smurfs. Last Friday a worker fell from a 30-foot platform while production was filming a scene at FAO Schwartz toy store but, thankfully, he wasn’t seriously injured. Today we get to see new photos of actors Neil Patrick Harris and Hank Azaria with fashion guru Tim Gunn filming new scenes yesterday:

I still have serious doubts that I will like this movie once it comes out … but Hank looks so good as Gargamel and I just love NPH. Even still, I don’t think I can ever spend good money on any project that features Katy Perry (who voices, ack, Smurfette). I’ll do my best to keep an open mind but … I dunno. It’s fun seeing photos from the NYC set tho, yeah?

A little over a week ago we got our first look at Hank Azaria in full costume as Gargamel on the NYC set of the upcoming live action/GGI-animated film The Smurfts … and today not only do we get to see a couple more photos of Azaria as Gargamel (complete with pet cat Azrael) but we also get to see Neil Patrick Harris and Project Runway‘s Tim Gunn on set this week as well:

I still cannot get over how amazing Hank Azaria looks as Gargamel … with Azrael by his side, he truly looks impressive. I’m still not 100% convinced this film is going to turn out well … but I’m heartened by the fact that two of my fave gays — NPH and Tim Gunn — are in the flick. These on-set photos are fun to see … here’s hoping the movie actually turns out to be decent.

Anyone who has any passing knowledge of Project Runway mentor Tim Gunn knows that he is a man of impeccable taste, incredible style and is among the nicest people on Earth. But, when it comes to commenting on the pitiful state of fashion as perpetuated by so-called reality stars like the Kardashian girls and the folks on MTV‘s Jersey Shore, well, even Tim Gunn has to be brutally honest. Here is a new interview with Tim Gunn by WonderWall that took place during New York Fashion Week this week … trust me, it’s an interview you’re gonna wanna read:

We talked with design guru and “Project Runway” star Tim Gunn at Fashion Week, and let’s just say, he made this interview work (tee hee). He has built a career on his strong sartorial opinions, so it’s no wonder that he lets loose when talking about the “Jersey Shore” stars’ fashion sense and the Kardashians’ Bebe line. Check it out.

Wonderwall: What do you think of Jersey Shore style?
Gunn: Ugh! Oh! Don’t even get me started. It is not a style to emulate. I know that the show is hugely popular. I will tell you it pains me when I hear 12-year-old girls say it’s their favorite show. You shouldn’t be watching it! And it’s so incendiary that New Jersey is no longer permitting it to be taped in New Jersey.

WW: That’s why they’re going to film in Miami.
TG: Yeah, so what does that say?

WW: Nothing good.
TG: It’s like throwing people to the lions in ancient Rome. I don’t get it.

WW: J-Woww is launching her own line.
TG: Preposterous! Preposterous! Sorry.

WW: Are you a supporter of the Kardashians’ line with Bebe?
TG: No! I just think the Kardashians have an absence of taste and I don’t think that that should be perpetuated. I’m sorry I’m sounding like an old farty snob but it bothers me.

WW: You sound like somebody who’s telling the truth.
TG: I will say in general with celebrity labels, with the understanding that they’re not actually designing them, but you hope in a way that they’re not overseeing them either. I’m all in favor of anything that employs young designers.

WW: How do you feel about Fashion Week moving to Lincoln Center?
TG: We have to look for a silver lining to this. And we’ve known for a number of seasons that we were battling with the Parks Commissioner. Why, I do not know because Bryant Park helped brand New York as the fashion capital of the world, but we’re taking the high road here. And for me, I love the fact that we can align fashion with the arts. It puts it into a cultural context … and I’m really quite thrilled by it all. The only little downside is it’s going to be a subway ride away from the Fashion District.

WW: We’ll make it work.
TG: We’ll make it work. Exactly.

Thank you SWEET BABY JEBUS for Tim Gunn. The man is such a respectable fashion icon, I cannot TELL you how much it relives me that he is not afraid to speak the truth. Tim Gunn does not like being mean for being mean’s sake … for him to claim that the Kardashians are devoid of taste and to call a proposed fashion line designed by J-Woww as preposterous, then he must truly believe it to be so. Tim Gunn is the man, y’all … and I love him even more for his truthful answers in this interview. LOOOOOVE it!

Tim Gunn, speaking at a street renaming ceremony in NYC this week, has revealed that he is adding another catchphrase to the arsenal of critiques that he offers contestants on the hit competitive reality TV series Project Runway. Everyone knows that he is famous for the saying Make it work! But now, Tim wants us to know that he will be uttering (and, to my recollection, has been uttering for many years now) the catchphrase, This worries me:

Tim Gunn has a new catchphrase: “This worries me.” The Project Runway mentor was on hand — with judges Nina Garcia and Michael Kors — to celebrate the temporary naming of Project Runway Avenue in New York City’s Fashion District on Wednesday. “There isn’t a single challenge without lots of ‘make it work’ moments,” Gunn told PEOPLE at the event. “I’m afraid ['this worries me'] is going to become a catchphrase because I say it so frequently.” In fact, Gunn has good reason to worry about the contestants competing on the show’s seventh season, which premieres Thursday (10 p.m. EST) on Lifetime with Nicole Richie as a guest judge. “I’m calling it the season of the sashay because no matter how urgent our deadlines are, no matter how far behind we are, the designers just sort of waltz around our workroom as if we have all the time in the world,” Gunn said, “and we don’t.” The street naming, which turned Fashion Avenue into Project Runway Avenue in front of the iconic “Needle Threading a Button” sculpture at 39th Street, also marked the design competition’s return to New York … And not only will the move back to the Big Apple from Los Angeles inspire the designers, Gunn also embraces the change. “I’m thrilled,” he said. “This is my home. I’m happy I can sleep in my own bed.”

Ah Tim … new/old catchphrases or not, I love your guts to death! The new 7th season of Project Runway, back to NYC, premieres tonight on Lifetime TV and I’m really excited to get back into the swing of weekly PR eps. Whether the new batch of contestants worry Tim or make it work, I can’t wait to tune in and see it all go down.
