Which makes it all the more perplexing that “Project Runway,” the popular reality competition in which aspiring fashion designers face off with their clothing creations, should be stuck in a legal quagmire that threatens to keep the show off the air indefinitely. In its first five seasons on the Bravo cable channel, “Project Runway” increased its average audience to 4 million viewers an episode from 1 million an episode, making the most recent season its biggest ever.

Clash of the divas! MSNBC is reporting that Tyra Banks and her “America’s Next Top Model” co-star, makeup artist and art director Jay Manuel, are not speaking to each other, making the taping of the show extremely uncomfortable for the rest of the cast and crew. Insiders are reporting that Tyra is totally phoning in her duties on the newest cycle of the hit reality show, and may even abandon it after this season in favor of her talk show and other projects.
