We’re at the beginning of Project Runway’
s ninth season and the sound of Heidi Klum’s clipped German accent informing contestants whether they are in or out is like being swaddled in a warm blanket. We welcome the comfort of it. But get ready for some change, people because Lifetime’s new series, Project Runway All Stars
has decided that Klum is out.
The new program, which will feature favorite contestants from previous seasons, will apparently not be featuring the host we all know and love. Rumor has it, Klum and producers could not agree on a salary. Supposedly, this will not affect her regular Project Runway gig, but you never know when contract negotiations start going sour.
So, what does this mean for the All Stars? Will we still, at the very least, have Michael Kors’ tanorexic bitchitude to keep us going? Will Nina Garcia’s pinched scowl still grace my television screen? Will Tim Gunn
still serve as our taste meter and spiritual guide? What will we do????
Apparently, a different model has already been chosen as a replacement host. Good luck finding one with legs like Klum’s, is all I’m saying.
