Project Runway: Too Fierce for Lifetime

by Celebuzz on Sep. 27, 2008 02:59 PM / 1 Comment

Project Runway fans can all take a collective sigh of relief today, for the hit show is staying on the Bravo network—for now.

The show, hosted by the beautiful Heidi Klum, was supposedly moving to Lifetime for it's sixth season premiere in January of 2009. However, a judge on Friday ruled that the show cannot be moved from the NBC Universal-owned Bravo network.

After the ruling, NBC issued the following statement: "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."

Production for the new season on Lifetime has already started, with Lindsay Lohan scheduled as a guest judge for the season opener. That girl must be cursed!

“Nina Garcia will not have this! She will pummel some network executives. The suits over at NBC Universal (which owns Bravo) have successfully filed an injunction preventing Weinstein Co. from giving Lifetime the job of running Project Runway over at their network. "Slutty, slutty, slutty" as Michael Kors would say. "I have nothing to say," as Meana Garcia would say. Except I do.”
