Ousted ‘Top Chef’ Contestant Feels He Was Treated Like A Broken Down Piece Of Hunky Filet Mignon
8:33AM Seth | Interviewed today by People, last night’s Top Chef casualty [spoiler alert!] Jeff McGinnes had some choice shit-talking words for head judge Tom Colicchio, before suggesting the show portrayed him as a shirt-a-phobic “sex object.” More »
Hunkiest ‘Top Chef’ Elimination Ever Spares Fake-Italian, Scars Prettyboy For Life
4:07AM Seth | On last night’s Top Chef Super Bowl All-Star Face-Off Synergistic Cross-Promotion Can-We-Fit-Quaker-Oats-in-There-Somehow Extravaganza, the surviving chefs of Season 5—a group we find ourselves strangely attached to—were forced to cook head-to-head with past Chef contestants. More »
‘Top Chef’ Star Marcel Busted For Driving Under the Influence of Cooking Sherry
7:00AM Defamer Hollywood | Though any avid Top Chef viewer knows that the quickest way to get a thumbs-up from judge Padma Lakshmi is to appeal to her love of alcohol, it seems that one former contestant can outdo even Padma when it comes to his appreciation for the hooch. Yes, Wolverine-resembling Season 2 runner-up Marcel Vigneron has been busted by the Laguna Beach PD, who found him driving erratically while tequila-infused saliva foam dribbled from the corner of his mouth. Says the OC Register: More »
‘Project Runway’:There Will Be Tears
11:00AM Mark Graham | By now, we’ve all heard the news that Project Runway is headed to Lifetime. In advance of the 2009 launch, Intrepid Defamer Videographer™ Molly McAleer has crafted a touching look at the subtle ways in which the show will change when it leaves its current home on the Bravo Network. Here’s a hint: keep a box of tissues nearby. [Molls She Wrote] Hot tip! Prince, who was just added to the Coachella bill earlier today, will be playing a surprise show at the Green Door tonight. [LAT] The only thing more riveting than Olivia Munn’s impossibly shiny hair is the sight of Olivia Munn and her impossibly shiny hair in a bikini. [Egotastic!] Slate’s Kim Masters adds a bit of intrigue to the Valkyrie meltdown. It seems that, get this, the film isn’t even finished filming yet! [Slate] William Wegman has done it again!

‘Runway’ Jack And ‘Chef’ Dale Trying To Make Love Work
7:00AM Defamer Hollywood | The sprouting of a new relationship is always a precarious matter, so it’s with a measure of reluctance that we pass along news that Top Chef runner-up Dale Levitski has found in Project Runway’s Jack Mackenroth a comrade-in-hunky-arms – someone to curl up with on a bearskin rug on cold winter nights and exchange Padma/Heidi horror stories. Having unwittingly signed a contract that forced them to disclose every intra-network sexual liaison from now until death, Bravo’s even-gayer internet arm (if one could even conceive of such a thing) Outzone.com has the saucy scoop: We picked up the phone and called Jack, who had this to say: “It’s very baby steps. I really like him a lot. And geography is a bit of an issue, but we’ll see where it goes. I like him a lot. I assume he likes me a lot. Unless he’s lying…(laughter)… He’s adorable. I like keeping it incestuous, keep it in the Bravo family.” SO we immediately had to call Dale, who told us, More »
If Only There Were Some Easy Joke To Be Made About Top Chef’s Hung Getting An Erection
6:15AM Defamer Hollywood | Sharp-eyed observers may have noticed there was a brief shot of current Top Chef winner Hung jumping out of bed in his boxer shorts during the reunion special that aired on Wednesday. We sent the video to the Defamer Institute of Priapic Analysis, and the results have come back, proving conclusively that the speedy chef doesn’t just have a cocky personality, he also has a…well, you get the idea. Click the censored photo after the jump for the full Hung experience. Top Chef [BravoTV.com] More »Short Ends: Tyra Porn, Gaping Orifices, And Lost Stars
5:35AM Defamer Hollywood | Earlier today, Tyra invited a focus group on the show to watch some porn, an exercise that had predictably explosive results. Perhaps things would have been more cordial had she warmed them up with an episode of Tell Me You Love Me. · We always thought the Giant Earth Anus would be discovered in an alley behind a Sunset Blvd. club, but we suppose we were mistaken. · Sean Astin calls the prospect of a long-awaited Goonies sequel an “absolute certainty,” reviving hope that co-star Corey Feldman might once again draw a non-reality-TV-related paycheck in Hollywood. · Unfortunately for Tom Colicchio (and fortunately for Gordon Ramsay), Michelin stars are not awarded according to the quality of one’s cooking-competition show.
