Tuesday News

First, a programming reminder: there is no new episode this week! Project Runway returns on Thursday, March 4. Now onto the news:

Tim Gunn spoke at Georgia State University yesterday and gave up some juicy dish in an interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He's done defending Season 6, thinks now that the plan is to stay in New York for future seasons and that Bravo "meddled" excessively with who got eliminated in Season 5.

Here's the view from the seats of Tim's talk from someone who had her question answered.

Heidi Klum's 4-year old son Henry has gotten really tall!
