May the television gods hear our and others' pleas! Last month, the Chicago Tribune's Maureen Ryan broke the news that Tim Gunn was not signed for a fourth season of Project Runway:
Will he be back? Ever the modest one, he would only say he "makes no assumptions," but he would come back "in a heartbeat" if asked. There's no official word, by the way, that there will be a fourth season, but it seems more likely than a supersize season finale of "Grey's."more ›
Our Wednesday nights have purpose again, as Project Runway starts its third season and pull us out of our rerun doldrums. The audition show was on last night and will repeat tonight at 9PM before the 10PM season three premiere. And have you read Tim Gunn's blog entry about the season three auditions? Here's Tim's transcript of what happened in LA:
Our next candidate enters holding a top with a hoodie shaped like a dragon head, complete with scales; a feathered ball gown with a 20-foot train (really); and a corset made out of condoms.more ›
- And A.M. Rosenthal, NY Times executive editor from 1977 to 1988, died at age 84; the Times calls him "a principal architect of the modern New York Times" and he "expanded the weekday paper from two to four parts, including separate metropolitan and business news sections, and inaugurated new feature sections for weekdays: SportsMonday, Science Times on Tuesdays, the Living section on Wednesdays, the Home section on Thursdays and Weekend on Fridays."
The snow has really started. But it's not like there is enough to play in yet, so why not sit back and watch this Valentine for Perfect Strangers as narrated by the Otto the cat?
So, after all of that, what was that smell on Thursday night? Nobody really seems to know. The Daily News asks You Can't Make It Up(speaking of, we nearly choked reading her Titty Barb Bob post), the Post called Canada (they didn't call back) and the Times wondered if the "good smell" was that of Bloomberg's sweet success. All to no avail. In the meantime authorities seem confident that the maple smell wasn't toxic and the consensus (from the papers) is that the source was either a boat on the river or a building in lower Manhattan. Which really narrows it down.
Can it be? You Can't Make It Up tells us there will be free TiVos handed out at the Javits Center:
"TiVo will be mourning the VCR's demise; please come to pay your respects and receive a free TiVo. Arrive with a remembrance of your VCR – a tape – and you will receive a free Series-2 40 hour TiVo while supplies last.more ›
Reader Amy pointed out this website, Sorry Everybody, where people have been contributing their apologies about the election. Of course, Gothamist was tickled to see that pandas were also apologetic.
