Gunn Speaks. You Listen.

Thursday, June 05, 2008 by

Fabulous Gal Mo Ryan of the Chicago Tribune has another of her eye-opening interviews with Tim Gunn and as per usual, she gets him to spill the goods on everything from Christian to Lifetime. A sampling:

“I’m admittedly nervous [about Season 6] because I don’t know how it’s going to be, and I’m going to be in a city that’s not my home,” said Gunn, who was referring to the fact that at least half (if not more) of Season 6 of “Runway” will be filmed in Los Angeles.

“I have the greatest confidence in Lifetime and in [its executives] Andrea Wong and Suzanne Daniels,” he added. “I know they want the show’s quality and integrity to continue to be at the core of future seasons. And they’re completely committed, if its possible, to making it even better.”

"Gunn, who hadn’t heard the comments, sighed and shook his head and said, “Oh, dear God. It’s the one demonstration of his youth. I’ve said before, I’ve never met a fashion prodigy before Christian, he’s an old soul. But he’s still a 22-year old kid.”

By the way kittens, Sir Tim mentions the Bravo A-List awards in the interview - and guess who was at the A-List awards last night and has a SHIT TON of pictures and a TRUCK LOAD of backstage gossip?

Go on! Guess!

Those bitches at Bravo better have given you two an A-List award. No one deserves it more!

I won't, but only because I have to be somewhere else the night it's airing. I'll probably tape the red carpet pre-show, though; after all, Tim's hosting!

Lilithcat - also wondering about the haiku contest

I'll watch the A-List awards only to catch my favorite bitches; i.e. TLo, Tim Gunn, Malan, Emmett, Christian, Jay,....um, can't really think of any other real celebs worth the time or effort. Anywhoodle, can't wait to see what you boys have in store.

- edina -

P.S. Please let there be red-carpet coverage included!

You guys really are going to need a posse soon. I'd like to volunteer.

Gorgeous Things said...

Nice of Mo to plug you guys at the end of her article.

Shameless self-promoting "awards" show? Blech. Glad you bitches had fun. I would read your blog if it was about drain cleaner but watch a bogus hour-long commercial? I do have a life.

GothamTomato said...

Can't wait to hear your dish from the A-List Awards. I hope there's some about Kathy Griffin.

I'm glad you boys were there, but what they really should have done was had you two be the models who carry out the awards to centerstage.

Congrats to you both,

Kanani said...

I think they sent Sewing Siren and Bill!

No, really, you two must've had a blast. Hope you got some great swag.
Next you'll be on QVC pimping everything from Bob Mackie to Laura Bennett.

TLo said...

We're announcing the haiku contest winners next week, kittens!

OHMYGOD I saw Lorenzo with Laura for a split second. I was one of the screaming fans outside : )

Oh, please have pictures of and dirt on Kathy Griffin! I love that red-headed biatch.

Y'all are getting too famous. Just remember, when the paparazzi start chasing you around, ALWAYS WEAR UNDERWEAR.

Thanks for the link to the Tim Gunn interview - Mo plugs Project Rungay at the end, but I suppose you noticed that, you fabulous media whores, you!

As worried as I am about the show's future, I'll always have Tom & Lornzo to give bitchy gay commentary :) I hope you all had fun at the A list party.

As for Christian, screw him. As someone who has probably faced tons of discrimination for his sexuality and personality, he should have more empathy for the other members of the GBLTQ community. The only suitable punishment is to get a few House of Aviance members to tie him down in his apartment and force him to watch Paris is Burning over and over again. (Are any of the houses from the movie still left? I know Ninja is in some limited capacity.) ;P

Sadly, B. Sew could not attend this years festivities. My invitation (along with my June copy of Vogue magazine) was lost in the mail.
I am looking forward to the pic's and dish, though.

On Christian’s recent controversial comments equating “drag queens and trannies” to “white trash women and trailer parks”

What did Christian say this time? or was it his usual thoughtless trendspeak?

I heard that Lauren Hutton made an ass out of her self.

Please give me the details!

Lilithcat said...

kana, see here.

Well - it wouldn't have been an A-list party without you

Anyone who watched Season 4 should know Christian always talks before he thinks

That, as we lawyers say, assumes a fact not in evidence (that he thinks at all!).

We thought Season 3 was rushed!

They're only now starting to film and will broadcast in July?

Woah.

Re: Christian -- He is awfully thin -- (and you all think I mean body type)

Anonymous said...

Thanks, Lilithcat, i'm not sure how i missed that post!

As far as Christian goes, i don't remember being that idiotic and poorly spoken at age 22, and i didn't have a fancy European cultural education to brag of like he does. i'd appreciate his talent a great deal more if he wasn't always spouting off like a snobby 13 year old girl. It's all the more glaring next to the poise and eloquence of Sir Gunn.

Okay, misdirected diatribe over.

If you met Kathy Griffin I am going to shit myself.

Great article! Still not happy about them shooting in LA. Oh well...
I can't wait to see your post about the event, lots of pictures, bitches, lots of pictures...

Please tell, kittens. I want to hear your version.

The A-List awards aren't broadcast live? What is the world coming to?

LilyTheLustyLibrarian said...

Kathy Griffin needs to sign the two of you up for her posse.

Ashley Olson FINALLY hired some gays! Let's hope she keeps them for the long haul.....

Speaking of which, darlings, I have an idea. Next time you hold a contest, the winner should receive the "fairy godfather" treatment from you two! I, for one, would be very proud to call you my fairy godfathers *sniff, tear* :)

The Real Housewives had quite a dustoff behind the scenes. Among other excellent snark, Tamra thinks the NY group needs some (or more) botox.

Sorry hon, the NY group, even Alex-Simon, outshined the OC girls (two of whom gained gobs of weight and wore tight dresses to emphasise it)by a gazillion.

when Tim is talking about the comments Christian made, is he talking about the heterosexual/tranny/white trash comments?

I think so. I can't believe Tim hadn't heard anything about it.
