Designers, I'm worried. You only have until 5pm tomorrow to enter the Tim Gunn Bobblehead Giveaway!

All you have to do is tell us what you're going to ask him. Need ideas? Here's some of the stuff he's been up to:

• Project Runway (obviously)
• Tim Gunn's Guide to Style (also on Bravo)
• Hosting Fashion Forward, a fashion show to benefit the Gay Men's Health Crisis

So, you can talk to him about that stuff. I just asked him what to do about my love life. He said: "Carry on."

Okay, Tim Gunn. I will. Click here to enter the Giveaway!

So, Rachel's on edge. It's Oscar week and everything is going fine. This is a stressful time. Everything's normal.

This show works with a strange dichotomy. It's all "look how stressed out we are," while simultaneously all "but this is totally normal, it's like this all the time." Perhaps instead of the Rachel Zoe Project, they should call it Rachel Zoe: Everyday Peril.

Mean First Assistant Taylor gets off to her usual nasty start, complaining that "Brad's acting like he's done this before." WTF? Isn't that his job? Isn't that everyone's job?

Tonight on Bravo, don't miss the Season 2 premiere of Tim Gunn's Guide to Style! Click above to watch this poor woman get her breasts messed with in the preview.

As we told you, Tim has a new accomplice this season: Ms. Gretta Monahan of Grettacole Spas and Salons and Gretta Luxe Boutiques. Says Tim: "I am absolutely crazy about Gretta and together she and I want every woman to achieve her perfect signature look."

From poorly-dressed divas freaking out to Tim's "essential shopping lists," this season promises to be full of laughs and great, practical style advice.

This week on The Rachel Zoe Project, Rachel is in New York at Fashion Week and Mean First Assistant Taylor has to go home to an important appointment (we can only assume this is some kind of assault-related court date). Rachel is left with only Brad, Second Assistant.

Brad pulls a total Anne Hathaway from The Devil Wears Prada and comes through (and in an adorable inside-out "Hug Me" sweater!) with a whole slew of press tour looks for "Kate" (we think Kate Hudson).

Back in LA, Mean First Assistant Taylor pulls a Whitney from The Hills and invites her best friend Ashley to help her (we assume this is for while she's in court). Nothing happens. Just like The Hills.

Zoe quote of the night, regarding the Oscar de la Renta show: "Each gown was better than the next."

...All right, we know what you mean, okay. Bananas!

While Project Runway may be high-tailing it out of New York and going to LA next season where it will debut for the first time on the Lifetime network, Bravo is hard at work cooking up yet another fashion related reality show they're hoping will successfully takeover PJ's prime time spot:

Fashion House "aims to find out if up and coming designers have what it takes to work in one of the most elite fashion houses in the world" like, say, Ralph Lauren. And guess what? They're wanting all the would be future Marc Jacobs and Donna Karens to sign-up, here. We hope you're not camera shy because you'll have to send a 10 minute video showing off your design skills along with your application. So work on your extra cheesy catch phrase, like now.

If you're wondering how legit the contest is, the British version of the show featured none other than Gareth Pugh. Good luck, boys and girls. You'll need it.

Once again, we're back and ready to dish about lasts night's episode of Project Runway. First, though, are you guys still watching this little 'ole show on Bravo anymore? Admittedly, the challenge this week -- designing head-to-toe makeovers for recent college grads -- was probably one of the more interesting this season, and yet, we had to chug two whole Cokes really fast just to keep our ADD in check long enough to soldier through all of the incessant whining that the designers seem to dish out every time they open their mouths.

In our gallery, check out all of the high, lows, and otherwise straight "bitch ass ness" from last night.

Tonight on the Rachel Zoe Project, Rachel will attempt to get husband Rodger to drop a few bazillion dollars on Fendi furniture. Style is her life and her livelihood--she wants to present the right image to clients! Rodger, being an investment banker, should totally see the value in making their home look like it cost more than a small island in the Bermuda Triangle. Right?

We're watching: "The Rachel Zoe Project"
We're wearing: Our pajamas...and our best jewelry
We're eating: Brad's feelings
We're drinking: Until Taylor goes away
We're thinking: Joy wanted red from the beginning. She even said it out loud. Wasn't anyone listening?
Not over it: Completely useless socks

As huge Tim Gunn fans, we've been waiting for the second season of Tim Gunn's Guide To Style, seemingly forever. Bravo finally announced that we'll see new episodes starting on October 2nd, at 11 pm, which would be a bizarre time if anyone ever watched anything live anymore. Thank you Tivo!

There was buzz that they were going to rework the show, and now we know that at least one of the changes is a new fashion accomplice. The beautiful but disproving Veronica Webb will be replaced by stylist Gretta Monahan, who we can already tell is way more fun. For a preview of her makeover style, check out this video of her helping a girl actually look like a girl.

Gretta's from Boston, so we automatically like her. She's on Rachel Ray all the time, and has that same gravelly voice and perkiness, which is good in small doses. And she sorta reminds us of makeover queen Stacy London, but without the evil ability to make us cry.

We can't wait to watch Gretta go through some underwear drawers!

Last week, Bravo aired a 21-minute preview of Rachel Zoe's, stylist to the stars , new reality show, The Rachel Zoe Project, airing on September 8th.

We tried, you guys. We really, really didn't want to like her, but in the reality show teaser Zoe came across as someone we'd like to go to lunch with, do a little shopping afterwards, and talk lots of shit about people in between. You know, like we do with all of our other super fun girlfriends.

Those wondering what Sarah Jessica Parker is going to do now that Steve & Barry's is pretty much kaput and the Sex and The City sequel won't be in our theaters for at least another two years should look no further for their answer. SJP is hi-tailing it to Bravo to produce a -- get this -- reality show!

But the real kicker, it's not about fashion at all. No, Parker's show is about the art world. American Artist, as it's being called, will follow a group of aspiring contemporary artists as they compete each week for a gallery show, a cash prize, and a sponsored national tour.

Are your dreams filled with Heidi Klum and Nina Garcia? Does Michael Kors speak to a special spot in your heart? Are you ready to risk hearing the words "auf wiedersehen" if it means you might see your designs at New York Fashion Week? Is Tim Gunn your daddy?

Let's get to the point: Do you want to be on Season Six of Project Runway?

If you do, then get cracking because they are casting right this minute! Applications are due in just a couple of days, on July 9th. Not much time, but the whole point of the show is working under crazy deadlines, right?

There are three required parts to the application:

And the drama never stops over at the Project Runway camp.

It seems like every week we are inundated with more stories of hirings, firings, and betrayals from the former Bravo TV project.

The latest juicy rumor comes courtesy of WWD:

Apparently, Marie Claire, who is published by Hearst, wants to be the mag to publish Project Runways fashion spreads once the show's contract with Elle magazine expires after this upcoming fifth season.

However, a spokeswoman for Marie Claire would beg to differ, saying: "We think 'Project Runway' is a fantastic show, but to speculate at this point beyond season five would be, as [season four winner] Christian Siriano says, 'A hot mess!'"

No, boo. The switch from Bravo to Lifetime, which your parent company owns, was a "hot mess." But that's why we can't get enough of this little soap opera. Until tomorrow...

If your wardrobe is a reflection of your true self, it stands to reason that a messy, outdated closet equals inner turmoil.

This will come as no surprise to anyone who ever watched Tim Gunn's Guide to Style on Bravo, or TLC's What Not To Wear. The transformation on each episode is always accompanied by tears and high emotions.

Here's the question. Your life is being dissected in front of TV cameras, presumably for the viewing enjoyment of millions. Which "therapist" would you prefer to experience:

After Christian Siriano won the latest season of Project Runway, he has been absolutely everywhere, from other Bravo shows to an Amy Poehler impression on Saturday Night Live. The only thing more popular than his crazy hair has been his catchphrase: "Fierce!" Sure, Tyra Banks may have brought it to the scene on America's Next Top Model, but Christian was the one who made it work (pretend I just snapped right there).

Well, now it has been announced that Christian will be presenting "Fierce Fashion Awards" at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. I don't really know how many Nickelodeon viewers also watched PR, seeing as how they're probably busy checking out Zoey 101 or Spongebob Squarepants all day and in bed by 10PM, when PR comes on. That said, it might be good to have an actually stylish icon leading the kids away from that mess Hannah Montana.
