Project Runway contestants were faced with clients that were far more beautiful and strong than usual last night: a series of WWE Divas guest starred on the series. Let's take a look at what went down...

He's already a Dancing with the Stars hunk.
Now, Maksim Chmerkovskiy is hoping to become a soap opera stud.
The professional dancer will guest star on an upcoming episode of ABC's All My Children, allowing him to appear alongside Season 5 contestant Cameron Mathison.
In the February 26 episode, Chmerkovskiy will play himself, as he teaches the women of Fusion pole-dancing at the bequest of Greenlee (Rebecca Budig), who has decided that her staff needs a fun diversion.
Cue the arrival of Mathison's Ryan, who, ABC teases, "will get inspired seeing the Fusion women dancing the pole." Might this forecast a future of stripping for Mathison? Female viewers of the show can only hope so!
No breaking news here, people. Just another picture of Matt Grant, the new star of The Bachelor. Coming to America in the spring of 2008, this Englishman may be our hottest yet. On to the picture. Salivate at will.
 Between this guy being announced and DeAnna Pappas returning to ABC as The Bachelorette this summer, we're in store for some good stuff!
Finally, the guys who won last season's Making the Band 4 competition - and make up Diddy's new recording quintet - have a name.
Brian Andrews, Mike McCluney, Qwanell Mosley, Willie Taylor and Robert Curry are now officially known as DAY26.
The name comes from the date of August 26, when the band officially took shape. What do you think of it?
Here's a quick look at the 16 contestants who will be competing for Big Brother 9's $500,000 grand prize:
- Adam, 29-year-old public relations manager from Cherry Hill, NJ who currently resides in Del Ray Beach, FL

- Alex, 24-year-old DJ company owner from Staten Island, NY
- Allison, a 28-year-old pharmaceutical sales representative from Boston, MA
- Chelsia, a 21-year-old college student from Cedar Falls, IA
- Jacob, a 23-year-old electrician from Dallas, GA

Typically, celebrities campaign to earn a spot on Dancing with the Stars.
But after presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton told Tyra Banks two weeks ago that she'd select Dancing with the Stars above all other reality shows, the series has extended an offer to the Democrat to shake her thing on their dance floor.
Will she accept? We doubt it. Then again, Bill Clinton did perform with his saxophone on Arsenio Hall 16 years ago. Oh yeah, one more thing:
Vote for Barack Obama!
While The Biggest Loser may have aired last night, that title was far more appropriate for the star of the second reality TV show recapped below. In other words: we have Janice Dickinson!
Nevertheless, here's what transpired on The Biggest Loser and the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency...

How does Flavor Flav feels about the third season of his reality show, premiering February 11 on VH1? He's got one word for viewers: bananas.
"You've got to upgrade. So I changed some things up in Season 3, and it's definitely going to be bananas. Let me put it this way: It's - wow - a whole different look," Flav said to TV Guide in a recent interview. "Some of the events are different. And I got in positions that you wouldn't expect Flavor Flav to be in. I'm going sky-diving and chartering planes to take girls to even more romantic places."
The series will follow a similar format to the show's first two editions, with the Public Enemy rapper whittling down a group of women vying for his affection. The first time around, he dissed Tiffany Pollard.
"Usually I give the girls nicknames, but not this time," Flav said. "The Season 3 girls let me know what they want to be called."
This season's cast ranges in age from 21- to 30-years-old, includes three women who work at Hooters, and five contestants who were chosen by online viewer voting.
"You can tell right off that I got a different batch of females! But don't worry; I weeded out the fake hood-rats and the spitters," the star of the series said. "People are like books. All you've got to do is read 'em, and I'm not dumb. I have a good sense of intuition."
We recently received some great news in DeAnna Pappas being named the star of the new season of The Bachelorette this summer.
Now, some more. Matt Grant, the new star of The Bachelor, is totally hot. And British! The 27-year-old global financier would trade his fortune for true love any day, he says, and is looking to get married ASAP!
Matt Grant's ideal partner is adventurous, outgoing, and fun. His take on participating and meeting American women on The Bachelor:
"I was coming into this a little bit fresh and free from any constraints that might hit me from watching it. I'm a single guy, I'm a red-blooded male. I have the opportunity to date hot American women. Enough said."
There you have it! Matt Grant is the youngest of five brothers, all of whom are married and have families. Needless to say, he wants to join the club!
Sure, he's a hunk. But Matt Grant is also smart and athletic.
Grant has a B.A. in history and politics from Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, where he was the captain of the university rowing team. He also skis, plays cricket and tennis, and works out like a madman.
Anyway, that's it for our first sneak peek at Matt Grant, ABC Season 11 star of The Bachelor, who's coming to a country near you on March 17!
Follow the jump for some videos of Matt - introduced on ABC's Dance War, and in a James Bond-style commercial for the new season!
