Did 'Project Runway' Apply Too Much 'Lipstick' Last Night?
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 4:35 AM on August 15, 2008
Perhaps cognisant of the fact that this is their last season to milk Project Runway for all it's worth, Bravo parent company NBC Universal has been cramming the show with so much obvious corporate synergy that you can practically hear Tim Gunn muttering, "This concerns me." Still, last week's challenge to create an outfit for the Olympics (currently being broadcast on NBC and NBC-owned channels!) was just a drop in the fierce, organza-draped bucket compared to the corporate chutzpah on display during last night's episode. With guest judge Brooke Shields in the house, the designers were challenged to create a look for her character on season two of the barely-renewed NBC drama Lipstick Jungle. Thanks to Molly McAleer, we've assembled a video of all the times the show's title was uttered last night — even when it sounded suspiciously ADR'd in! Who could have known that "Lipstick Jungle" would surpass "licious" and "Holla at your boy!" to become this season's biggest catchphrase? [Bravo]

Welcome to The Jungle! By the way, neither I nor anyone I know has ever seen one single episode of that piece of tripe.

How I wish someone replied to the LJ question, "OK... what is the show about?" or "That's coming back?" or "who's the linebacker with the eyebrows?"

Oh, and @TimGunn:, it's comments like that which necessitate banishment to Jezebel. Or hell. same diff.

Wow, I didn't realize it was said so many times in this ep. You're in the jungle baby!
That said, too bad they didn't re-do the denim challenge using vintage Calvin Kleins. We'd have seen what comes between Brooke and her Calvins.

Is it me, or do Jerell, Stella, Suede and Blayne look homeless? Remember when Miramax stalled for a few years after Shakespeare in Love? Well, Lifetime bouquet-jumped for a hype/hot potato that's gonna hit the floor next season.

It would have been awesome if they had designed an outfit for Gossip Girl.

It was bad. Remember the Hershey(TM) episode last season? Even worse.

Perhaps I should clarify. I have seen Project Runway tripe, just not Lipstick Jungle tripe. After all, I have standards.

This show is officially obnoxious. How desperate is that one fuckstick who incessantly and self-consciously repeats "dramalicious!" like a retarded parrot (note: apologies to mentally challenged parrots. This is satire and has no malicious intent)? He's like a weinered Gretchen Weiner with "fetch". It ain't gonna stick, pal. Move on.

Agreed that this show has given up. All the challenges have been reruns, everyone is consistently joyless, and the Bettie Page parrot doesn't even get reprimanded for laughing openly at another (admittedly douchey) designer on the runway. To quote Tim, I'm dubious.

@oxycontinmoron: Um, obnoxious much? You definitely do not understand the point of Jezebel.

@Oxycontinmoron: Gawker is obsessed with Gossip Girl, not Jezebel
