Two Out, One In on Project Runway

Project Runway, finale scene Bravo

Leanne said Kenley's looks were too "Holly Hobby" and amateurish for Bryant Park, while Kenley said that Leanne didn't know how to use color and had brought a boring collection to New York Fashion Week. And Korto thought that Korto had really nailed it.

But, personal opinions be damned, only one snazzy sticher-upper was named the winner of the fifth season of Project Runway tonight after the first all-female finale in series history. And considering plans for the series' move to Lifetime have unraveled like Jerell's chances of launching a bridal collection, we may as well soak up the couture while we can.

Hauteiness and all...

More from Watch with Kristin

The giant pink bird has flown the Dancing coop, but Rocco DiSpirito insists to us his ruffly feathers aren't ruffled.

"It's all gravy! This was a wonderful experience and there’s nothing to complain about," the celebrity chef told us backstage tonight after getting the heave-ho from Dancing With the Stars to the surprise of...well, no one. "I got to learn how to dance. I got to make friends with Karina. I even got Bruno to dance!"

Speaking of, Rocco's mother gave us a few choice words for Bruno (meow, mama!), and we got the inside scoop on why Cloris Leachman will be the next to go...

Dancing Finally Down to Eight

Warning: Ginormous hot-pink bird on the loose!  Approach with caution, as this exotic creature may be dangerous...especially to your TV enjoyment.

Oh, wait, that's not a bird or a plane or even Superman, that's just Rocco DiSpirito, the chef extraordinaire and dance-floor eyesore whose sad little samba seemed to secure his place last night as the next contestant to be eliminated on Dancing With the Stars.

DWTS: Sambas, Tangos and Middling Scores

DWTS, Lacey Schwimmer, Lance Bass ABC/KELSEY McNEAL

Nine jived and waltzed last week and the same nine tangoed and samba'd tonight thanks to the nonelimination of Rocco DiSpirito that went down after Misty May-Treanor was forced to drop out of Dancing With the Stars with an injury.

We'd like to say that it was a pleasure to watch all nine, but...

Check out what went down Monday to find out who pleasantly surprised—and who painfully (for us) pressed on.

More from Watch with Kristin

Three things you need to know right away about the CW's just-revealed new makeover show with Top Model's Jay Manuel and J. Alexander:

1. It is not a spinoff.
2. It is not a straight-up makeover show.
3. The original series is not going anywhere—and neither are the J's.

Also, the premise of the new pilot, called Operation Fabulous, is far more interesting than what you've read!

Thankfully, the one and only Mr. Jay himself just rang me up to clear up the misinformation, giving us preliminary details that aren't out there yet...

Tyra Spins Off Top Model

Tyra Banks is looking to do for the entire country what she's done for the model wannabes on her reality show—minus the cramped quarters, petty arguments and questionable eating habits.

The CW has given the greenlight to Operation Fabulous, the first spinoff series for the fiercest show in prime time, set to be produced by Banks herself.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the new pilot will essentially expand on one of the most popular elements of Top Model—the model makeover episode—and apply its transformative powers to women across the country.

Top Model mentors Jay and J—as in Manuel and Alexander, for the uninitiated—will partner up to host the show and make pit stops in various towns across the country.
