Last week, Tim Gunn shared that he disagreed with Nicole Richie when she stopped by "Project Runway" as this season's first celebrity guest judge. And, as the season progresses Tim promises that more famous faces will be stopping by. But, he isn't sure that a Lady Gaga cameo is in the show's future. He's just not sure her over the top style can — as he often likes to say — make it work!

"You know I have a great respect for Lady Gaga, I do, and I love her work. I don’t think of what she wears as being fashion," he told MTV News about the flashy singer, who did manage to stop by Bravo's "Launch My Line" this season. "I think of it more as being fashion and wearable art. Those aren’t real clothes and if you saw them on anyone other than Lady Gaga you'd say, 'This is ridiculous!' But on Lady Gaga you believe because it is who she is."

Time to breakout the sketch pads and Mood bags! "Project Runway" returned last night on Lifetime, and to many fans' relief, the design series has catwalked its way back to its New York City stomping grounds. MTV News recently caught up with mentor extraordinaire Tim Gunn, and apparently we aren't the only ones elated over the series' Big Apple homecoming.

"To bring the show back here was a thrill and it was a relief," Tim revealed. "There's an energy and a vitality to the city that isn't replicated elsewhere, and I think the designers just pick up on that."

The holidays are over and now all you want in the New Year (besides to keep up with your resolutions) is for all your favorite TV shows to come back so you don't have to suffer through any more "O.C." reruns on Soap Net. We know what you're thinking: When will "One Tree Hill" return? What about "Vampire Diaries"? When will I be able to see Joshua Jackson on "Fringe" again? No worries, we here at Hollywood Crush are listening and have made a handy guide for you to know when to start tuning in again!

With January in full swing this week we've already seen the return of "Brothers and Sisters," "Desperate Housewives," "The Secret Life of the American Teenager," "Heroes" and "The Good Wife." But things will certainly heat up as the month continues. Into crime and intrigue? On January 12 "Southland" returns, "American Idol" will come back with a new judge (that doesn't really fit into crime, but we're definitely seeing lots of drama there) and January 13 we delve into the minds of more weirdos (along with our 2009 Hump Day Hottie Of The Year, Matthew Gray Gubler) when "Criminal Minds" returns.

When Bravo's make-it-work design series "Project Runway" catwalked over to Lifetime—and the left coast—fans worried some unflattering alterations would be made to their beloved show. Thankfully, the past two episodes have allayed those fears. Even though "Project Runway" is wearing a new dress, it's the same show we've come to love, except in one delicious way: There's finally some (seemingly) straight male eye candy in the form of Seattle designer Logan Neitzel. (Special shout out to my home state!)

Now don't get me wrong. The show's bitchy, flamboyant gays like Christian Siriano and Austin Scarlett, are the underpinnings—the corsets and bustles, if you will—of the series. But sometimes a girl needs something pretty to look at ... besides the fashionable frocks. With a quiet, thoughtful sensibility and the sort of dirty, sexy looks reminiscent of Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Logan's hard to resist. And it seems I'm not the only one enamored of the 26-year-old.

In a two-hour special that is airing this Thursday before the premiere of the newest season of "Project Runway" — the first since its move from Bravo to Lifetime — Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman will make a cameo on the special, “Project Runway: All Star Challenge."

The special will bring together some of the show's greatest past competitors including Santino Rice, Jeffrey Sebelia, Sweet P and others, who will be competing for a $100,000 cash prize. It will also have the former contestants reuniting with Tim Gunn, Michael Kors, Nina Garcia and, of course, Heidi Klum. For Nicole's part, she'll be on the show to set up one of the challenges for the contestants, reports Access Hollywood. Read more...

It's easy to get caught up in the thrill of silky charmeuse, workroom cat fights and tear-stained eliminations and forget that uber-fabu "Project Runway" is a competition for both designers and models. Well, no more. When the show kicks off its sixth season August 20 on Lifetime it will be joined by a sister series that shifts the spotlight from the designs to the catwalkers wearing them.

"Models of Runway" will chronicle highs and lows of the 16 mannequins vying for a $25,000 cash prize and a fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine. The show, however, isn't a competition series in its purest sense. The models aren't being judged or given scores. In fact, judging from "PR," their only "challenge" will be walking down the runway, which means if a girl gets stuck with a dud designer, it's likely she'll be one of the first to go, talent or not.

Barbie's had a busy week. First, Mattel announced they would be releasing Barbie and Ken versions of "Twilight"'s star-crossed lovers Bella and Edward. Now comes news the 50-year-old icon will be fashioned into the likeness of "Project Runway" host Heidi Klum. Forget mid-life crisis, it sounds like poor Barbie is having an identity crisis!

According to E! Online, the German supermodel's mini-me will be part of the Blonde Ambition collection, which already includes doppelgangers of Goldie Hawn and Marilyn Monroe, and will be in stores later this year. Read more...
