You all may find this surprising coming from me, but even attempting to make these comparisons is unfair and insulting to paigow. There is such a gaping chasm between the intellectual levels even coltrane's cock couldn't fill it.

So I was on the treadmill last night, and two TVs were on in front of me. One had Project Runway on, the other had the rock star show on. I kept on going back and forth between the two, but it was sort of hard to get what was going on with the rockstar show with closed captioning.

Project Runway, on the other hand, totally sucked me in.

Out of loyalty to my friend Vanessa, whose Project Runway expereice I indirectly sort of screwed royally, I haven't seen the show since she was kicked off on the fourth or fifth episode of the first season. I couldn't bear to watch her breakdown on the reunion show that year. I was in her shop a month or so ago, and customers kept on asking her about the experience. She's still bitter.

Anyhow, I guess Bravo is running the series nonstop, because I caught the tail end of the episode where people were dressing their mothers, and I ended up staying on the treadmill much longer than I'd anticipated to watch the episode where they made the jet set clothes for themselves.

And when I got home, I turned on to watch the latest episode.

Don't tell Vanessa that I'm watching the show and I set my Tivo to record the rest of the series....

She walked off the show, she wasn't kicked off. And that reunion show is classic. She's my second favorite reality tv star.

I would like to know this as well.

And PR is really great, but if Michael doesn't win, it will be a serious injustice. He is the consummate intelligent designer (hi, President Bush!) and seems like just an overall good guy.

Two things: 1. Why don't they give more attention to Uli? She's good! (I don't know who won last night, so please no one spoil this for me)

2. Although I think Michael is the best, I would probably buy Laura's clothes because I never met an elegant cocktail dress I didn't like and she has that down.

I need a spokesperson

Sorry to break up the early morning bashing, but Paris was arrested for DUI. Wow, that took longer than I would have thought.

LOS ANGELES - Paris Hilton was arrested early Thursday for investigation of driving under the influence, police said.

Hilton was arrested shortly before 12:30 a.m. after being pulled over in Hollywood, said police Officer I. Isabella, who declined to give his first name. Police stopped Hilton because she was “driving erratically,” he said. “The officers observed that Hilton exhibited the symptoms of intoxication. A field sobriety test was conducted at scene, and the officers determined she was driving under the influence,” Isabella said.

Her spokesman, Elliot Mintz, confirmed the arrest and said police detected the minimum blood-alcohol level to warrant an arrest. The legal limit in California is 0.08 percent. “She’s absolutely fine,” Mintz said. “She didn’t appear in the least bit to be intoxicated.”

At the time of her arrest, Hilton was driving home in her Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (bitch) from a charity event where she had one drink, a margarita, he said. She had spent the day shooting a music video for her new album, “Paris.”

The driving under the influence symptoms were “probably the result of an empty stomach and working all day and being fatigued,” Mintz said.

Or not.

I think they diminish Uli because she is cute and petite and not very aggressive and there is room for only one Grand Teuton on Project Runway.

A friend of mine runs a site called Popgurls.com, and when she found out that Vanessa and I've been close friends for years, she asked me if I could hook her up with Vanessa for an interview. I said sure and I hooked every one up. This was after the show had run, but before it had been completed. This is the interview.

The interview was posted in the middle of the first run of the first season. I don't remember if Vanessa had already left the series or not, but it was definitely before they flew everyone back to New York for the reunion episode. Back in New York for the reunion episode, before they started filming everything, there was a cocktail party and Vanessa got hammered. Then the "reunion" was filmed and the interview got hauled out so that the other designers could "confront" Vanessa. She walked off again. I think Heidi Klum's people wrote nasty letters. I know that Miramax did. There was talk of breaking the NDA, and it was overall a massive clusterfuck for Vanessa.

So my role was simply putting the wheels of her own slelf-destruction in motion, but I still feel kinda bad about it. Knowing Vanessa, something like this was bound to happen one way or another, so I shouldn't feel too bad. But her business is doing great and she's doing great so I guess it wasn't all too detrimental.

Michael should win. Laura can suck it (she's the pregnant one, right?). I hate her with the passion of one angry, fiery sun. I like the rocker guy and I like Uli. I think the final two will be rocker guy and Michael.

I thought Michael's dress sucked last night until they made that small change on the runway and then I thought it looked great. Weird.

[SLIGHT SPOILER: GWNC, LOOK AWAY]

The one guy whose stuff usually sucks got torn a new one for his gold "couture" dress yesterday, but alongside Uli's, I thought it was the best.

Make it work. Klum should be gone and that guy should own that show completely.

Wacky weed.

I may be wrong, but I don't remember that marijuana caused any anxiety, rapid heart rate or feeling of doom.

A group of UC Berkeley students were hospitalized late Wednesday for severe medical reactions after eating brownies or cookies that they believed contained marijuana, according to authorities. More than 30 people, ages 18 to 25, at the Cloyne Court co-op residential building experienced negative reactions and called for help at about 8 p.m., said Alameda County Fire Capt. Tim Dillon.

Twelve of the people were taken to the hospital, and two were treated at the scene, Dillon said. He said police are investigating whether the cookies caused the students' illness.

Their symptoms included anxiety, rapid heart rate, chest pains, "and a feeling of doom,'' said Dillon.

He said crumbs found at the scene were taken for testing. "We believe it's beyond marijuana,'' he said. Duh.

A witness said that the students were having a social gathering after selecting their room assignments at the co-op building, 2600 Ridge Road. Classes started at UC Berkeley Aug. 28.

"I ate one and I feel fine," said a friend of one of the students. "There were people who ate a lot, and on top of that they were drinking. ... It looked like they got too high."

Cloyne Court houses 149 students. The university owns the property, but the residence is jointly run by occupants. "What happened tonight was an isolated incident where adults didn't know their limits," said Nathan Danielsen, a house manager. "We do not officially condone any of their actions."

But in an interview later, he said that it was "tradition" to bake the cookies when rooms were assigned.

Of the two and a half episodes I've seen, Michael is far and away the best designer. Everything he's put out there seems innovative and well designed, and he puts a lot of thought into what he's doing.

I also like Uli and the rocker dude's stuff quite a bit.





[GWINK SPOILER]
I also was pretty amazed at the difference with such a small change in that dress. I thought it was very ambitious for a guy who has never made anything like that before.

I also thought that the "prom dress" turned out a lot nicer than it looked like, and I give the most credit to the skirts. That chiffon was lovely.

The dress that I thought should win won last night. I loved that color and he did a great job putting it together.

I laughed when Mr. "I trained doing couture" was kicked out on his ass for making a poor top.

I liked the comment about the feather boa for the architect woman's dress. It's amazing the slight difference between something for $99.99 at the Erotic Cabaret and $9999.99 from a real designer.
