Project Runway Leaves Bravo For Lifetime
ProRu fans, prepare your ruched keisters: the show that got straight men everywhere interested (sorta) in fashion is moving from gay bastion Bravo to the Laura Ashley world of Lifetime.
Why? Because god hates fashion.
How? Lifetime offered show owner Harvey Weinstein $150 million. He took it.
The reaction? Bravo owner NBC Universal, not one bit happy with Weinstein's turnaround, is filing suit:
In a statement, NBC said "NBC Universal has continuing rights related to 'Project Runway,' including a right of first refusal to future cycles of the series, which the Weinstein Company unfortunately has refused to honor."
This reminds me a lot of "first season" Heidi: "Moguls, this is a competition for you also as well. You know in fashion television, one day you are in, the next day you are out."

Though this also means two more seasons this year, one in the summer and one in the fall, so it's not all bad.
