"As with the original series, the All Star version features fashion designers battling to create unique and memorable collections. As with Project Runway, each episode consists of a challenge, frantic designing where it always seems there's never enough time, some snarky trash talk, a runway parade of the finished (or not) creations, caustic or hyperbolic commentary from the judges and finally cruel, cruel elimination.
The show is a great favorite among its fans, but I know absolutely nothing about fashion, sewing or the creativity involved. Naturally, my favorite episodes are the unconventional challenges where the designers are tasked with making a "fashion-forward" (whatever that means) haute couture (again, huh?) outfit out of greeting cards, recycled trash, car parts, candy, newspapers or aluminum foil.
One week a designer may win and be on top of the heap, the next week she might implode with a horrific design -- especially if it's a team challenge. Of course the show pairs polar-opposite alpha designers just to watch the vitriol fly.
Part of the fun is watching the other designers' reactions to an especially irritating personality. And you know each season will have a couple of those cast just for that purpose.
Alyssa Milano returns as host with Isaac Mizrahi and Georgina Chapman as the two permanent judges. A guest judge will sit in each week. Finally, Anne Fulenwider, editor-in-chief of Marie Claire, will be this season's mentor.
Having an All Stars spinoff is another way Lifetime can milk the Project Runway cash cow one more time. And this season the formula is tweaked by having All Stars veterans vs. rookies."
"The premiere event pitted eight former All Stars — Anthony Williams, Carlos Casanova, Ari South, Joshua McKinley, Melissa Fleis, Fabio Costa, Ken Laurence and Helen Castillo — against eight newcomers — Kimberly Goldson, Amanda Valentine, Stanley Hudson, Charketa “Char” Glover, Merline Labissiere, Candice Cuoco, Edmond Newton and Kelly Dempsey — for what host Alyssa Milano assured them would be the only team challenge of the season. (I swear, Milano, if you’re lying to us…)
Following a rowdy fashion-related relay challenge, the rookies were tasked with designing a “fierce!” fall collection, while the veterans were given an equally “fierce!” spring collection to create. It wasn’t the most exciting premiere — for a major team challenge, there was surprisingly little designer-on-designer conflict — but as always, it gave us a pretty good idea of what to expect from the rest of the season.
Merline’s look (pictured left) scored the season’s first big win, while Casanova’s (pictured right) earned him the season’s first elimination:
“We had major issues with the choices you made this week,” Milano told Casanova before giving him the boot, reminding him that he’s done this before and that there’s “no excuse” for this kind of work. (Ouch.)"
"“Georgina is doing very well,” Milano said of the British fashion designer, who announced she was leaving the disgraced movie producer in October, less than week after The New York Times detailed decades of sexual harassment allegations against Weinstein. “She’s an amazing mother. She’s an amazing woman. I think her priority right now is focusing on how to raise those two children to the best of her capacity, given the situation.”
“She goes through very dark times. She’s very sad,” the Charmed alum, who was a judge with Chapman on Project Runway: All Stars, continued. “This is not easy for her, but I have no doubt that not only will she come out on the other side of this, but she deserves to. She’s a good woman.”"
"Lifetime wants Alyssa Milano for Mayor.
The Mistresses and Charmed actress is developing a scripted comedy series in the vein of Curb Your Enthusiasm for the cable network, our sister site Deadline reports.
In addition to executive-producing, Milano would star as herself in the project, which finds her becoming the mayor of a suburban L.A. town and dealing with the minutiae of community politics.
In other Milano news, the actress has been promoted to series regular on the CW pilot-turned-Netflix series Insatiable."
""It's in redevelopment," CW boss Mark Pedowitz told reports at the 2017 TV Critics' Association summer press tour. "[We're] waiting to see what Jennie Urman wants to come back with. ... It's early in the development process, but we're redeveloping it, and hopefully it will come out."
Jane the Virgin creator Jennie Urman is writing the upcoming revival series with Jessica O’Toole and Amy Rardin, all of whom will executive produce alongside Propagate Content's Ben Silverman and Brad Silberling. When the initial news broke, was attached to direct.
Charmed aired on The WB from 1998 to 2006. The series centered around three sisters who are also witches referred to as the "Charmed Ones," who used their magical powers as a force for good. It initially starred Alyssa Milano, Holly Marie Combs and Shannen Doherty, before Doherty exited and was replaced by a new sister played by Rose McGowan."
"Binding Ties
The most important thing in the Charmed Ones' lives isn't magic, and it's not their jobs or their clothes. It's family. Piper, Phoebe, and Paige are Warren witches -- the latest in a long line of women with incredible supernatural strength. For more than two centuries, the Warren witches have fearlessly practiced magic: From Melinda Warren in the 1600s to the Charmed Ones in 2005, the power of these witches is unsurpassed.
"The Warren Witches" recounts never-before-told stories of their lives -- as women, as witches, and, most important, as members of a family of considerable magical strength and power. Above all, they are family; beyond all, they are witches."
" Dear Matt Damon,
It’s the micro that makes the macro.

We are in a “culture of outrage” because the magnitude of rage is, in fact, overtly outrageous. And it is righteous.

I have been a victim of each component of the sexual assault spectrum of which you speak. They all hurt. And they are all connected to a patriarchy intertwined with normalized, accepted–even welcomed– misogyny.

We are not outraged because someone grabbed our asses in a picture. We are outraged because we were made to feel this was normal. We are outraged because we have been gaslighted. We are outraged because we were silenced for so long.

There are different stages of cancer. Some more treatable than others. But it’s still cancer.

"Having won the ultimate battle against the forces of darkness, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige—The Charmed Ones—are looking forward to a hard-earned, peaceful future. But when Phoebe’s former love, Cole, returns from the dead and the sisters are reunited with Prue, now imprisoned at the magical convergence between the realms, a dangerous new threat emerges.
As seemingly normal mortals violently steal the magic of witches, The Charmed Ones must shield their kind while protecting themselves from a modern-day witch hunt.
Charmed: The War on Witches continues the story of the Halliwell witches, picking up where the hit television series, Charmed, left off. With only the Book of Shadows to guide them, the Halliwell sisters are the fulfillment of their ancestor Melinda Warren’s prophecy that three sisters descending from her line would become the most powerful witches of all time. As The Charmed Ones, the sisters use the Power of Three to protect the innocent and banish evil from the Earthly realm."
