More Drama for Project Runway

This is just like some nasty child custody case as Project Runway is being torn at the seams between the greedy hands of Bravo and the greedy hands of Lifetime.

New York State Supreme Court ruled last Friday, September 26 that the reality show is still under the right of NBC Universal, which is the parent company of Bravo. With the court decision, Lifetime will not be able to go on with the airing of the show nor can it develop a spin-off to the show, which has previously been planned. The sixth season was initially planned to be broadcast in January 2009 after delayed once from the November 2008 schedule. The result is stemming from the defense by NBC that Weinstein Company, owner of the series, signed a deal with Lifetime before giving NBC enough time to compensate with the terms of deal. Weinstein made a $150 million deal with Lifetime earlier this year. NBC has released a statement regarding the ruling, expressing their satisfaction. "The overwhelming evidence demonstrated that the Weinstein Company violated NBC Universal's right of first refusal to future cycles of 'Project Runway.' After hearing all of the evidence, the court issued an order prohibiting the Weinstein Company from taking the show or any spinoff to Lifetime." In return, Weinsten Co. have also released their statement, announcing their appeal plan. "We are glad that the court held that NBC Universal cannot exhibit the program on Bravo and that the court required NBC Universal to post a minimum $20 million bond," the statement read. "Obviously we will be appealing and remain committed to our partners." The third party, Lifetime, admitted that they are "disappointed" with the decision but will "pursue all measures to uphold its valid and binding agreement reached with the Weinstein Company for Season 6 of 'Project Runway.' " An October 15 meeting is scheduled to set a date on a trial for all the parties.

WTF? Bravo's Project Runway Moves To Lifetime

Ok-somebody dropped the ball big time (I'm thinking someone should/will get fired over at Bravo).
According to the New York Post, "A courtroom catwalk cat-fight broke out today when Bravo abruptly lost control of its biggest hit - "Project Runway" - which will now begin airing on rival cable network Lifetime next November.
The shocking network switch appears to be the result of a deal gone sour between the show's producers, the Weinstein Company, and Bravo, a subsidiary of NBC. The abrupt move apparently Bravo executives by surprise.
NBC Universal slapped the Weinstein Company with a lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court this morning aiming to block the new deal.
Weinstein officials said that NBC had filed the suit after "declining to compete for the right to have 'Project Runway.'" The legal action was simply NBC trying to "disrupt the series moving to Lifetime."
"We believe this lawsuit is without merit," Weinstein counsell, David Boies said in a statement. "While good for the market for lawyers, it is always unfortunate when parties try to win in court what they lost in the marketplace."
NBC officials yesterday accused the Weinstein Company of negotiating with Liftime behind their backs and maintained that Bravo did not "lose" "Runway."
"NBC Universal has continuing legal 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," and NBC Universal spokeswoman said.
"NBC Universal regrettably had no alternative but to bring legal action to enforce its rights to this program, including the right to decide whether it is in the best interest of the company to continue to air the show under the proposed financial terms."
Weinsten still owes Bravo one more season of "Runway," which is among the highest rated shows on cable.
The Lifetime press release announcing the shift indicated that Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn would remain on the show but failed to say whether Nina Garcia or Michael Kors would also come over with it".

Auf Weidersehen Bravo.

Project Runway Season 4 (2007)

Project Runway Season 4 premiered last night on the Bravo network and it looks to be another fabulous season of bitches and posers. I love this show and I am shamelessly addicted to it ever since the first season. I even have the Project Runway ring tones on my cell. Anyway the whole gang is back along with 15 fresh new designers, hoping & praying Heidi does not give them the "Auf Wierdersehen" kiss off. Here's hoping we see lots of shirtless shots of yummy Jack Mackenroth this season, but as the tradition of most reality shows go, they always cut the hotties way too early. Jack's hometown is Seattle, WA (yea!!) and is looking damn good for 38 years old. I was surprised to hear that he is HIV+ (for 18 years), but he is obviously taking good care of himself. So good luck to all.
