Tim Gunn is a Saint

Photobucket

"Tim Gunn did something when he started out on "Project Runway" that he'd probably never advise his design proteges to do. He worked for nothing. In testimony in N.Y. State Supreme Court this month, movie/TV mogul Harvey Weinstein told the judge that the fashion mentor wasn't paid anything in the show's first season.

The second season wasn't much better for Gunn: He got only $2,500 per episode, according to testimony in the court battle, which pits NBC/Universal against the Weinstein Co., which owns "Project Runway," over taking Heidi Klum's popular show from NBC's Bravo to Lifetime."

How do you not pay Tim Gunn?!? You pay Mommy long legs Heidi Klum, but the one who actually provides all the entertainment gets zilch?!

I'm glad Project Runway is leaving Bravo. They don't deserve Tim.
