It Just Got Interesting…

As the drama on “Project Runway” starts to finally heat up (Kenley REALLY needs to go), the drama behind the scenes is absolutely scorching…

“The Hollywood Reporter” reported last night that a New York Supreme Court judge ordered Lifetime and the Weinstein Co. to “stop any promotion, marketing or exhibiting” of “Runway” until NBC Universal's dispute with the Weinstein Co. is over.

The judge ruled that an amendment to the show’s licensing agreement granting NBC Uni “the right of first refusal” did exist.

This puts future cycles of the show on Lifetime completely up in the air…

Interestingly, the judge also expressed concern for “Runway” fans in his 43-page ruling. “What is of concern for this court is the time 'Project Runway' will be off of the air during the course of this litigation. Implementing this injunction will leave the program in limbo while the matter proceeds to trial.”

Personally, what I think is best for the fans is for “Runway” to stay on Bravo. But sadly, even if NBC Uni wins in court (which I think they could), we won’t get that either. NBC Uni and TWC had already agreed to move future cycles of the show to another NBC Uni network, such as USA to appease TWC.

So, on second thought, the best thing for fans is for the Weinstein Company to leave the show. After all, it’s clear that a New York Supreme Court judge has more concern for “Runway” fans than they do…
