Heidi Klum Gears Up For Project Runway Season 4

Heidi Klum Gears Up For Project Runway Season 4

Yesterday at Lincoln Center in New York City, Project Runway was kicking off their fourth season with a fashion show preview.

Heidi Klum was dressed to impress in a royal blue (not many women can pull off that color) gown and her hair pulled back.  And according to her, the new season is must-see tv.

Klum alluded to the fact that season four would be a little more dramatic than its predecessors.  “One person has a spitting technique of marking their marks on the fabric. I’ve never seen things like that. You can’t write that!”

And PR mentor/judg Tim Gunn reports that this season’s batch is the cream of the crop.  “This is the first season I’ve said any one of the designers is talented enough to win the entire season.”

Project Runway season four premieres November 14th on the Bravo Network.

Mr. and Mrs. Cannon Fire Up Manhattan

Call it the emancipation of the Cannons.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon stepped out publicly for the first time as husband and wife Thursday night in New York, making an appearance at the party for Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World.

The newlyweds arrived at the bash, held at Lincoln Center, around 9:30 p.m. and eschewed the red carpet press, instead making their way inside to allow Mimi adequate prep time for her 10:30 p.m. performance.

Cannon, 27, and Carey, 38, showed off their blingtastic wedding rings, which the Grammy winner matched with her extremely formfitting, short 'n' shimmery dress.

The duo stuck around long enough to pose alongside Oprah BFF Gayle King, music producer Antonio "L.A." Reid and Time Warner CEO Richard Parsons, before continuing on to a postparty pit stop at eatery du jour the Waverly Inn.

Next week will bring yet another first for Carey, namely her first televised appearance as a married woman. Well, a twice-married woman.

She's set to tape an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Monday. The episode will air on Tuesday.

Blaine Takes a Breather

David Blaine

It's no illusion. David Blaine has done it again.

The famed trickster broke the breath-holding world record during a live stunt today on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Divers retrieved a bluish-tinged Blaine, 35, from a water-filled sphere after 17 minutes and 4 seconds, surpassing the previous mark of 16 minutes, 14 seconds set on April 3 by German free diver Tom Sietas, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Blaine, who trained with various free divers beforehand, inhaled pure oxygen through a mask before submerging himself, which, under Guinness rules, is allowed for up to 30 minutes to help clean out carbon dioxide from one's system.

The water chamber was the same the performance artist used when he performed his "Drowned Alive" stunt at New York's Lincoln Center in May 2006. For that feat, he immersed himself for one week (with breathing tubes) and then capped it off by trying unsuccessfully to snap the breath-holding record before he was pulled out on doctor's orders.
