"Project Runway" diva judge Nina Garcia has been given her walking papers from her post at Elle magazine. You are out!

Up until today, Nina had been the Fashion Director at the women's monthly. Sources tell TMZ the environment at the New York offices of Elle is currently "nuts."

TMZ contacted reps at Lifetime -- "Project Runway's" new home -- and The Weinstein Company to see if her new freelance status will affect her fate on the series, but have not heard back.

6. Bravo! She was so arrogant! Perhaps she can now be part of "Celebrity Apprentice" after all she is a Legend in her own Mind!

7. Like a car accident on the side of the road...I view the pages of TMZ. But Really? She gets fired (which is definitely a worthy story for TMZ), but, the first thing TMZ does is call PR to ask about her status? WHY DID SHE GET FIRED? Oh course they're not going to have a comment, THEY JUST FOUND OUT! Seriously - you're better reporters than that. That's sensationalism, and we get enough of that in our nightly news programs.

8. Project Runway should replace her with Lauren Conrad or perhaps Amanda Lepore.

9. NINA ROCKS. Heeelll yes, she's tough...that's because she knows her shiiit. I cannot believe Elle is willing to lose her. Definitely THEIR loss. THis really sux for the fashion industry.

10. Nina is great on Project Runway! Another fashion magazine will scoop her up in a NY heartbeat. -- editors at other mags are probably drooling right now over the prospects. Or she could start her own magazine. (And, the winning PR model will get a spread in that mag.)

I'd rather have Nina any day that Vogue-editrix Anna Wintour. She's the inspiration for The Devil Wears Prada.

Good luck Nina! She'll land on her feet in no time.

12. She DID come off as VERY SNOTTY,,,,and would quite often CONTRADICT herself....Sorry,but, what goes around, comes around Nina...Let them fill the spot in with guest DESIGNERS...NOT SNOTTY HIGH PAID MODELS, NOT STICK FIGURES WHO WORK FOR MAGAZNES, ...REAL DESIGNERS WHO HAVE ACTUALLY MADE PATTERNS, DESIGNED AND SEWN THEIR OWN CLOTHES...Sheesh...

13. I enjoy watching Nina on PR. It a shame she lost her job. You know the saying when one door closes another opens up. I hope she will stay on PR.

14. You know she was pregant, I'm not sure if she had her baby yet, but could it have been because she was pregant? In that case, she would have a good lawsuit. I saw nothing wrong with her on PR. I thought she always carried herself with class.
