Celebrity Justice
"Runway" Star Jailed for Cat-astrophic Assault

Kenley CollinsOne of the most memorable -- and hated -- finalists from "Project Runway" is behind bars right now for allegedly fashioning a weapon out of a living, breathing, meowing cat ... and firing it at her ex-fiance!

Kenley Collins -- the trash-talking, third place loser from P.R. Season 5 -- was arrested in a Brooklyn home early yesterday morning, after the D.A. claims she attacked her sleeping ex-fiance with anything she could get her hands on -- including a cat, a laptop, several apples and finally ... water. It's like a design challenge turned violent!

It's unclear what started the fight, but according to legal papers Kenley told her ex, "You're lucky ... it could've been a lot worse."

Kenley was arrested and charged with six crimes -- including 2nd degree assault, 3rd degree assault and criminal possession of a weapon in the 4th degree.

No word on when Kenley is set to be released from jail.

32. The only reason that she even made it into the final was because it made good television.
I personally couldnt stand her. She was so one note, it wasnt even funny.
What was funny was her 'hip hop' outfit.
High waisted pants on a hip hop inspired piece?
uhhhh yeah.....

34. So, all you perfect people never had a fight with your boyfriend or girlfriend or spouse? What's your secret? I don't agree with relationship violence, not even a little bit. But, I also don't agree with a group of people who don't actually have the real facts but gang up together to be nasty. IMO you are just as bad to be gossiping and writing mean comments about someone you don't even know. Here's hoping I never know any of you.

35. I live in Fort Lauderdale and slept with this girl a few times when we were around 20 years old. She was annoying as hell back then too but I had ways to keep her quiet.

36. he should have punched the crazy hag in her face. if you throw a cat at somebody, that cat is going to land on you with its claws out. that had to hurt. and she did it while he was sleeping, thats just dirty.

37. I thought Kenleys designs were beautiful. If I were a woman I would have happily worn them. As for the assault and cattery charges, she will do what every "celebrity" does and enter rehab to avoid conviction.

38. "assault and cattery" is not a felony. she will enter rehab as all 'celebrities" do and escape charges. her pussy should impounded though.

39. I'm not applauding the fact that she threw a cat, but really, has anyone thought that perhaps, although her behavior was bad, maybe this was just a bad fight and the boyfriend wanted to punish her so he called the police and had her arrested on assualt charges. I mean, she shouldn't have done that to that cat, but how exactly do you use a cat as a weapon? And Apples and water? What, she threw and apple or two at him - maybe she missed, maybe she didn't, the cat scratched him 'cause it was freaked out at being thrown and she dumped water over his head? I highly doubt she was employing waterboarding or any other form of water based torture. I'm just saying, Chris Brown beat up his girlfriend, maybe he is all bruised and battered but I'm guessing it's more likely he's just angry and now is laughing at her because he got her in trouble and all over the internet!

40. She should have been arrested for her horrible designs, wardrobe and lack of any fashion sensibilities. That would have prevented this recent incident. Her boyfriend had to have seen this coming. People don't just flip out and attack you with a cat. I don't think she should be allowed to be anything in a cotton print, or cats ever again. And I'm showing great restraint by leaving her hair out of this. Yuk. I wonder what she will transform jail uniform into?, not.

41. She should have been arrested a long time ago for her designs, her wardrobe, and her lack of any fashion sensibility. I won't even mention her hair. She should be banned from ginghan, cotton prints, and cats.

Her boyfriend should have seen this coming from miles away - no one suddently flips out and attacks you with a cat.

Poor thing. If she didn't like the guy - pack and leave. (can you imagine the luggage?).

oh well, life in the 15 minute lane.

42. never even saw her, don't care, but "Celebrity Justice" is a contradiction of terms.

43. I still love Kenley, maybe even more now, she doesn't take crap from anybody! I wonder what he did to deserve it, he must've done something really Really bad. Also, what was the weapon? the cat?

45. Kenley had enough of her loser ex sucking her dry. That deadbeat was trying to live off her success. Too bad Mr. Penley couldn't make it in the big apple so he got some tossed at him boo-hoo. Thank God you didn't Marry that loser Kenley because Kenley Penley is not such a great name for someone who does know fashion! Just look around people at all the brightly colored florals this spring people!!! Not too many people looking for snoozing pleats from Leann from what my sources say. Keep your chin up Kenley!
