Project Runway: The Final 3 Head To Fashion Week

It's Now Down To 3...Which Designer Will Take Home The Prize At Fashion Week?



Last night was the episode of all episodes for Project Runway's season 6. So far the competition has been stiff but surprisingly the challenge which decided who would make it to fashion week...fell flat.

The designers are always faced with tricky challenges and rules, and for the first time when given the most freedom the designs were too safe, drab, and lifeless. At a time where the competitors should have let the best of their talent shine through, they let fear overwhelm them and took the easy (and ugly) way out.

But of course Heidi couldn't send them all home, so she sent Gordana and Christopher, leaving Althea, Irina, and Carol Hannah to duke it out under the tents at Bryant Park.

The female trio consistently impressed the judges throughout the competition, and although the claws were slightly out last night and on the previous episode, only time will tell what kind of tension will rise during the most important episode of them all…the Fashion Week runway shows.

Lattest news: Paris Hilton a year older, but no wiser at Fashion Week

Justify Full

Fashion Week cannot escape the celebutard whirlwinds that are the Hilton sisters.

First came the intense and deep conversation Paris and Nicky had with "American Idol" loser Kelly Pickler at Monday's Tracy Reese show.

"It's my 28th birthday party tonight at Butter," Paris cooed as they sat in the front row.

"Ooh, fun! What's Butter?" Pickler asked.

After Paris gave details about the downtown hot spot, the three blonds moved on to headier topics - like the star tattoos that adorn the country singer's arm.

"You should totally have one! You're, like, such a star," Pickler gushed to Paris.

The Hiltons then multitasked via BlackBerry, Googling and demanding free dresses while the show was underway. Nicky even e-mailed one poor staffer to say that none of the bags of free things sent to their hotel room "worked" for her, and she'd be needing more.

Later, at the Alice Olivia show, Paris got personal with fellow guests, saying she's "just friends" with "Hills" star Doug Reinhardt and debunking the rumor they've been dating. She then shared she's been in the studio "working on my second album. It's going to be fierce."

We'll ready our earplugs.

Finally, at her birthday dinner, Paris treated the main floor of Butter as if it were a runway, vamping back and forth before heading downstairs to dance on a banquette.

Also wandering about was Brandon Davis, who came complete with his now-famous layer of grease. The oil heir, who famously made Paris cry at her 26th birthday, didn't spend much time with the heirhead this year; she was too busy shaking her tiny ruffled skirt at the crowd. Davis did shoot a withering glare in the direction of Paris' ex-fiance, Stavros Niarchos, who was holding court in a nearby banquette.

And while Mickey Rourke showed up later, we're pretty sure he wasn't there to help Paris blow out the sparklers on her gianormous pink birthday cake.

Noticeably absent from the fete? Kelly Pickler. Maybe she couldn't find Butter after all.

- Eva Longoria Parker caused a stampede after Tuesday's Matthew Williamson show, with photogs knocking over a rack and trampling garments to get closer to her backstage. As a nearby model called the Desperate Housewife "so 2005!," the actress admitted she has yet to pick an Oscar gown but will lay low the rest of fashion week. "I'm going to see my husband's [NBA star Tony Parker] game," she said, "and that's about it."

- Fashion fans who shelled out $500 for Mercedes-Benz VIP Star Lounge access cards were in for a shock: Their cards were stolen. "Someone swiped a bunch of passes earlier this week and has been selling them as packages to people online," an insider tells us. Buyers beware: The badges were assigned by number, which are being checked at the lounge's door.
