Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Art Crawl!!!

Very disappointed in Jet. Very. And to be that rude in front of Dan and Jordan's mother is just. . . you are so not the person I thought you were.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

At least Caite and Brent didn't pretend to be all fake-schmoopy.

I'd prefer to see some additional reporting on the slur -- if it comes from just one hearsay source it could possibly have been misheard or made up out of whole cloth, et cetera.

OMG, Iman to co-host Bravo's Fashion Show with Isaac Mizrahi

I watched it last season and was meh, largely because I thought that the cohost was a dud, and that Isaac needed to be reined in. I think that both issues are taken care of with IMAN, BITCHES!!!!

Iman is the shit on PR: Canada. I cannot fucking wait for this.

Theo,

I know what you mean by additional reporting, but Dan & Jordan mentioned how homophobic the cowboys were in an interview with The Advocate (at least I've seen this mentioned) so I think that might be all the corroboration I need.

I'm so disappointed in Jet. Oh, Cowboys. Why couldn't you stay gold?

I just read the Iman news. I didn't watch The Fashion Show S1 because it just seemed like a desparate PR rip off, but you best believe I will be there for Iman. Oh, my word! I just hope she doesn't turn out to be underwhelming like ALT on Top Model. Glad to hear good things about her stint on PR Canada. Poor Kelly Rowland. First dumped by Beyonce now fired from TFS.

She was USELESS. She looked good in clothes and that was about it.

kat,

I don't know what they will allow Iman to do, but she really was terrific in PR Canada. SO much better than Heidi it was embarrassing. She is also incredibly blunt so during judging she was hilarious.

So kind of like Destiny's Child all over again?

Does that make Isaac Mizrahi Bey? I hope no one was Michelle because that would just be sad.
