Kenley "Cat Thrower" Collins from "Project Runway" has been ordered by a judge to stay away from her former fiance for two years after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct.
Kenley -- the trash-talking, third place loser from season five of "Runway" -- was arrested last month after attacking her sleeping ex-fiance with the house cat. For good measure, she threw a laptop, several apples and water at her guy.
The fiance is history, but sadly the cat may still be hers.
The chick sportin' the hot new steel accessories is "Project Runway" finalist Kenley Collins -- moments after the show's most hated designer was arrested for attacking her ex-fiance with a live kitty cat!
As TMZ first reported, the whole thing went down Tuesday morning in Brooklyn -- Collins was hauled off to a local jail and charged with using the "purr-jectile object" as a weapon. Collins also fired off a few other items at her ex during the attack -- including a laptop computer, several apples and some water.
Collins was eventually released from the pokey without bail. No word on when she'll be back to face the judge.
One 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.
"Project Runway" is unable to catwalk its way to Lifetime TV, thanks to a judge's ruling Friday that keeps the show under NBC Universal's suede leggings -- for now.
Problems started when NBC claimed the Weinstein Co. -- which produces the show -- made a $150 million deal with Lifetime. That move would remove the show from NBC's Bravo channel. NBC claims their "right of first refusal" for the show was violated.
"Project Runway" judge Nina Garcia has further secured her place in the fashion world with a pill-poppin' new gig.
The recently-canned ELLE magazine staffer has partnered up with Step Up Women's Network and Yaz birth control pills to promote a contest for aspiring designers. The task at hand? Re-design that old pillbox, girl!
The person who designs the most innovative birth control carrying case gets $10,000 -- and probably a lifetime guarantee that should they want to avoid getting knocked up, Yaz will have their back. Maternity dresses be damned!
TMZ has learned that L.A. casting for the new season of "Project Runway" was a fashion disaster!
Sources tell TMZ that auditions held this weekend at the downtown Standard Hotel had a record low turnout. We're told that since lines were not very long, production staff members were "scrambling" to contact more up-and-coming designers to show up. In the words of the incomparable Tim Gunn, "Make it work!" Perhaps the fear of being 'auf'ed' by Season 3 winner Jeffrey Sebelia, who was a judge during this weekend's session, kept all the wannabe Donatellas and Gallianos away!
Other "Runway" alumni were spotted at the session, including Season 2's Nick Verreos and "bad boy" Santino Rice. Despite the L.A. faux pas, the new season of the highly addictive reality show is scheduled to premiere this summer.
A rep for "Project Runway" could not be immediately reached.
TMZ has learned that tatted-to-the-neck "Project Runway" winner Jeffrey Sebelia has taken the runway off his relationship with his girlfriend Melanie, with whom he created a stylishly mohawked son.
The Cosa Nostra label owner was portrayed as a punkish family man on Season 3, with babymama Melanie and their son, who sported mommy 'n me mohawks. In the show's finale, it was all tears of joy and love, but sources tell TMZ that shortly after the show wrapped, Jeffrey decided that Mel was so last year.
It's rumored that the designer will be working on the clothes for the upcoming "Bratz" movie.
Tired of looking like a desperate housewife when making a casserole? Well, who says you can't bake a bundt and look fabulous too! Say goodbye to your grandma's apron because "Project Runway's" season two's fan favorite Nick Verreos has designed a sharp limited edition "Top Chef" apron that's so hot it'll make your water boil in no time.
Nick's creation features bold and colorful knives with the word "Chop" across the front. Verreos, a self-professed microwaver, says "I wanted to design a hip looking apron that you could see in a sexy editorial from a magazine like Wallpaper." Mission accomplished.
Kitchen fashionistas can order the the apron, which retails for $40, starting October 18 at bravotv.com.
The season finale of "Project Runway" and the season premiere of "Top Chef" both air tonight on Bravo.
Nineteen months after winning the first season of "Project Runway," Jay McCarroll is finally debuting his clothing line on September 15 during NY Fashion Week.
Next, they need to get their friends to sign the pledge too. Whoever recruits the most fur-less friends by September 8 will win the tix to see Jay in the Big Apple.
Everyone who signs the pledge will also be entered in a drawing to win one of McCarroll's handbags.
McCarroll proves you can have a killer look without hurting a fly -- or a fox.
The former "Veronica's Closet" star is upset with "dangerous" comments made by Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn on last week's episode pertaining to plus-size women.
Najimy, who over the years has lost 160 lbs, sent a passionate e-mail to Bravo exec Andy Cohen, who is a friend of Kathy's, outlining her grievances with the episode, which Cohen has since posted on his blog.
Kathy took particular issue with Gunn calling one of the runway models "zaftig" (pleasantly plump) and Heidi's comment that an outfit made a model look plus-size, which Najimy believes implied that plus-size was "the ultimate of horrors."
The best part of watching Bravo's "Project Runway," well besides the drama, contestant cat fights, model meltdowns, Tim Gunn, the judges' (sometimes) catty commentary, and Heidi Klum's contestant kiss-aufs, is seeing the fab fashions made by the designers.
After an episode's initial airing on Wednesday evening, that week's designs are put up for auction. Fans then have until the start of the next week's episode, the following Wednesday, to place bids for their favorite outfit.
When Kevin Dillon wore a tattooed long-sleeved t-shirt on last Sunday's episode of "Entourage," the fashion scene exploded with questions about its mysterious designer. Turns out Yellowman on Robertson Blvd. in LA is behind the seams of the new hot item. The shirts, for both men and women, are designed by famous tattoo artists worldwide. But they're more than cool shirts--they're ultra-comfortable too. Thanks to Yellowman's newfangled technical fabric, the garments can breathe. Here's Kevin Dillon's White Dragon t-shirt designed by Valerie from Russia, priced at $218.00.
There's more trendsetting going on from the "Entourage" gang. Fashion critics raved at the must-have dress Perrey Reeves rocked to the show's premiere, designed by "Project Runway" star Uli Herzner. Reeves picked up the dress at Horn Fashion boutique, the only store in LA that carries Herzner's unique designs.
But Perry isn't the only star sporting Uli Herzner designs. "Step Up" star Alyson Stoner was also spotted in Uli garb. Stoner's stylists were having trouble getting a dress to fit her because her youthful body was constantly changing--but Uli's dress did the trick. Herzner's flattering-on-everyone designs have been flying out of the store ever since her stint on "Project Runway."
'Project Runway's most recent season may have ended, but that hasn't stopped two of the show's finalists, Nick Verreos and Santino Rice, from causing a commotion.
By the end of 'Runway's' season finale it seemed like the two were archenemies - which is why fans of the reality show were shocked to find Nick and Santino together outside a West Hollywood, Calif. nightclub last week. The dynamic duo, who just happen to bump into each other, caused a fan frenzy, posing for pics while catching up on each other's post-show happenings.
Even with lawsuits recently filed against its host, its network and a slew of sponsors: 'Project Runway' premieres its second season tonight at 10PM EST.
The show pits 16 unknown fashion designers against each other to win $100,000 plus a fashion spread in Elle magazine, and the most surprising thing is, most of the contestants actually have talent.
'Project Runway' was an unexpected hit in 2004; at least with the critics. It was nominated for an Emmy, but it didn't do well in the ratings. Still, it was an addictive show from day one, more unique than 'Survivor' and way more fierce than 'America's Next Top Model.'
The Teutonic supermodel Heidi Klum will once again serve as hostess of the show; it's her "You're either in or out" and final "Auf Wiedersehen" that sends a contestant home each week, a la Donald Trump's "You're fired." Designer Michael Kors and Elle magazine's fashion director Nina Garcia will once again serve as judges, with special judge appearances from fashion icons like Diane Von Furstenberg.
