Gunn Out/Wendy Wants Out

Sometimes you can go home again – and sometimes you can’t.  After years of bad recasts and inactivity, Project Runway is returning to the air, now as part of the Disney family on Freeform.  Lo and behold, they’ve lured back Heidi Klum.  But in a surprising move, Tim Gunn won’t join her…and it wasn’t his decision.  When Klum texted Tim to ask how his contract looked, he said what contract?  Tim says, “I called my agent and he knew things were going on, but he contacted the executive producer of this new show, and they said, ‘We don’t want him.’  And my agent said, ‘Well, he’s done 19 seasons of Runway, 16 with Heidi.  The two of them won an Emmy together as hosts, and now you’re going to separate them?’  And they said yes.  So I wasn’t asked back.”  Well, that’s not completely true.  He was asked to make a cameo in one episode.  He shot back, “What do I do?  Wave from a bus as the designers are going into Mood?  Heidi comes to see me at the retirement home and we play croquet?  So no thank you.  And as Heidi would say, you’re either in or you’re out.  And I’m out.  So I wasn’t asked to join.”

Someone who is trying to get out is Wendy Williams.  As you know, Wendy’s been in a memory unit of a NYC care facility which she describes as a prison.  Of course, that is where people with dementia and Alzheimer’s are placed, and Wendy was diagnosed with frontal temporal dementia – which she’s vehemently disputed during a recent media blitz.  Due to these lucid appearances, a new medical evaluation has been scheduled.  In fact, by the time you read this, that will have already taken place (by a doctor her legal team hand-picked).  She also filed papers with the court asking that her guardianship be dissolved.  Stay tuned.
