Which New Bravo Reality Show Are You Most Excited About?

BuzzSugar — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:30:01 -0700

Whenever a reality show like Project Runway or Top Chef comes to an end, there are always a few standout contestants I know I'm going to miss seeing every week. Luckily, Bravo is giving three breakout reality stars more air time with their very own series on the network.

Project Runway's Christian Siriano will star in his own show about marketing his clothing line, while Top Chef favorite Fabio Viviani will give us a closer look at his life in the restaurant biz. Rounding out the three is Bethenny Frankel, who will show off her own culinary skills on the small screen while pulling double duty for Real Housewives of New York.

Now, here's the big question: which of these three shows are you most excited about?

Who's Your Favorite Project Runway Winner?

BuzzSugar — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 06:30:12 -0700

Now that Project Runway has closed out its fifth season by naming a new winner, it seems like a good time to look back on the Runway champions of past and present. Some (Christian Siriano) have truly embraced their 15 minutes in the spotlight; others (Chloe Dao) have kept somewhat of a lower profile. While we're waiting to see how Leanne uses her newfound fame, tell me: Which of Project Runway's five winners has been your favorite?

TV Tonight: Guest Stars Galore on ABC

BuzzSugar — Thu, 01 May 2008 08:30:07 -0700

ABC brought back its Thursday lineup a week ago, but it's tonight that two of the network's shows - Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy - are really making their presence felt. Both have great guest stars lined up to build some momentum as we roll toward the all-too-soon season finales.

First up, Ugly Betty hosts Project Runway's famously faux-hawked, famously satired fourth-season winner, Christian Siriano. The designer appears as himself, a hot new designer whom the Mode staff is trying to woo for a fashion spread - complete with designs that ProjRun fans will likely recognize from his collection. Runway judge Nina Garcia will appear as well.

But the one I'm really excited for is the return of Kate Walsh as Addison on Grey's. I thought Addie lost most of her sparkle, charm, and cojones when she moved down the West Coast to that Private Practice of hers, and I hope that her return to Seattle Grace puts her kickass side back in the spotlight. (Hey, maybe the writers will remember how to do that, and then apply it to PP when it returns in the Fall.) Oh yeah, and Elizabeth Reaser (Rebecca/Jane Doe/Ava) is back to deliver some news to Alex - but I'm too fixated on what fun Addison antics will ensue to give that much thought.

Rewind: This Week's Buzz

If you missed Amy Poehler's impression of Project Runway's Christian on SNL I highly recommend kicking your weekend off with this clip.
ER has been around since 1994 and might be back for yet another season - and they're even courting older stars to return. The '90s are hot right now as the big news out of the CW is that they're looking at a spin-off of Beverly Hills 90210. Any characters from that hit show you'd like to see again?
Check out the trailers for two cool action thriller trailers out right now: The Incredible Hulk starring Edward Norton and Righteous Kill starring super acting duo Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino. Norton also made news this week with talk about developing an Obama documentary.
There was a lot of scary movie remake news this week that struck me as mostly odd, involving more Michael Bay projects and tomatoes that kill.
What do you think of the new Breeders song? And did you hear? You'll be able to get the new REM album on Facebook!
Some things don't need a part two - I'm looking at you, Lost Boys 2. However, somethings should be recast (just for fun!). What actors do you think could fill the big shoes of the characters in Jerry Maguire?
Whether or not you thought letting Idol contestants sing the Beatles was blasphemous, America loved it, and next week the top 11 will be singing more from that songbook. Let's hope Kristy Lee Cook leaves the fiddles out this time.

Christian Siriano Vs. Amy Poehler: It's Kind of a Big Deal

BuzzSugar — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 11:30:01 -0700

If you missed Saturday Night Live this weekend then you need to watch this video clip of one of Amy Poehler's most inspired performances. In this Project Runway spin-off titled Fierce, a regular woman gets fashion advice from Christian played by Amy. Amy's Christian rummages through the woman's wardrobe and hilariously strings together the Project Runway champ's famous catch phrases like, "fierce," "hot mess," "you better work" and "tranny."

Amy's not only spot-on in her physical portrayal of the little guy, but the skit also demonstrates how easily you can mix and match these phrases to make them sound authoritative, when they're ultimately meaningless. Which reminds me - does anyone else think they should make Christian Siriano refrigerator word magnets?

Things get even better when Bill Hader shows up as Tim Gunn and Amy Adams as Heidi. If you need a refresher on how "ferosh" Christian is, all you have to do is watch this fantastic clip montage I found of his best moments from Project Runway and compare it with Amy's performance.

Project Runway Flashback: Christian

BuzzSugar — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 08:30:11 -0800

As the Project Runway finale draws ever closer, I'm taking a look back this week at the remaining three designers' looks over the course of this season. Christian Siriano has been the largest personality on the show this year, but he clearly has the skills to back up the tough talk. The youngest designer of the remaining three delivered consistently all season (well, unless his client was a teenager). To see what creations have sprung from Christian's sewing machine, just hit "Start."
