On Friday, a judge ruled that the Weinstein Company cannot move Heidi Klum and her bitches to Lifetime for now. The show is currently shooting its sixth season in Los Angeles (a place where fashion is not cutting edge like in NYC). It was supposed to premiere on Lifetime in January.
NBC issued this statement after the judge's ruling:
"NBC Universal is pleased that the court granted our motion for a preliminary injunction against the Weinstein Company," the media powerhouse said in a 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."
Lifetime just said they were "disappointed." Well, if I paid $150 million for PR, I'd be pissed too! I also saw a commercial on BRAVO for a designer competition show. Does that mean if they lose Project Runway, they plan to create another designer show as a replacement? Both sides plan to fight it out back in court on October 15th.
How about settling this with a UFC fight? Take your best opponents from Bravo's hit shows (Tabetha, Tim Gunn, Rachel Zoe, Tom Colicchio) and have them go up against the Golden Girls, Tori Spelling and Meredith Baxter-Birney.
