Christian Siriano
News

Too big to share the stage with co-stars, Bethenny Frankel and Christian Siriano are set to anchor their own new reality shows.

Variety reports that Bravo is developing projects for The Real Housewives of New York City and Project Runway stalwarts.

The untitled series starring Frankel will focus on her career as a natural foods chef, as well as the NYC resident's love life, which may or may not include an engagement to Jason Hoppy.

Siriano, who won season four of Project Runway when the competition aired on Bravo, will be setting up his own boutique and marketing his own clothing line as the basis for his show.

Will you watch either of these programs?

The Primetime Emmy Awards are meant to reward the best in television acting and writing.

Therefore, it's more than a bit strange that the event last night was hosted by a quintet of reality TV stars. It's also incredible that another one, Lauren Conrad, actually handed out some hardware on stage.

Still, instead of fighting the spread of reality TV, we can only embrace it. Here are threee moments from the ceremony featuring some of your favorite, supposedly usscripted stars:

Jeff Probst took home the first-ever Emmy given to best reality show host.

Project Runway winner Christian Siriano did his best to look fierce on the red carpet.

Tom Bergeron and Heidi Klum failed to make anyone laugh as hosts.

Project Runway champion Christian Siriano will launch a maternity wear line in 2009. Expect it to be fierce.

Siriano and his friends, founders of Moody Mamas maternity clothes, Marta Abrams and Elise Rosemarin, have joined forces on a collection called Fierce for Moody Mamas by Christian Siriano.

It looks to be an exciting week ahead for Siriano.His regular runway line will premiere at New York’s fashion week on Sept. 11.

You can then look for The Moody Mamas collection to go on sale at MoodyMamas.com in the spring of 2009.

Celebrities Victoria Beckham and Heidi Klum won’t be the only lucky ladies wearing Christian Siriano originals for long.

The Project Runway winner’s personal line is now available at Bluefly.com — and is up to 40 percent off the retail price!

With his edgy style, the hot new designer presents black and metallic pieces in silhouttes including a high-waisted gold skirt, puff-sleeve dresses and blouses, sateen skinny pants, tailored blazers and more.

Items range from $96 T-shirts to the $590 “Posh” puff sleeve blouse — could the real Posh be the muse for Christian's outfit?

To borrow his own words, we think Christian’s celebrity fashion line is most definitely “fierce.” But what do you think about it?

Project Runway winner Christian Siriano is letting victory go to his head. He's gone on record saying he doesn't think any of the current contestants are all that fierce.

"They kind of annoy me this season!" Siriano told Us Weekly. "I actually met everyone, and they're all great, but I just really don't know about the clothes this year. Maybe I just need to see more episodes — then I'll really judge!"

Since winning Project Runway last year, Christian said a slew of celebrities have reached out to him.

"Anne Hathaway just wrote in InStyle that I was one of her favorite new designers, so I sent her a couple of pieces," he said. "Hopefully, she wears them!"

Siriano also listed Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley as actresses he'd love to see wearing his designs, adding: "There are just so many fabulous divas!"

Sounds like he's one of them to us.

What a fierce pair!

Project Runway winner Christian Siriano and show creator Tim Gunn make it work on stage at this week's taping of Bravo's A-List Awards. The show, which honors the best in pop culture, fashion, beauty, food and design, is hosted by Kathy Griffin and will air June 12.

We aren't sure what promoted these words of wisdom from Project Runway winner Christian Siriano, but enjoy:

"If you think of heterosexuals, they have white-trash women and trailer parks, and we have drag queens and trannies. I don't know if I'm the one who can explain it. It's, like, drag queens are just there."

Christian Siriano is everywhere!

Earlier this week, at the TAO Beach Season Two Grand Opening in Las Vegas on April 12, the Project Runway champ dissed and dismissed the designing talents of the girls from The Hills.

Now, we've uncovered a photo of Siriano posing with the cast of Ugly Betty, a series on which he'll guest star on May 1.

"They're as fierce and ferocious as they can be," said Siriano. "Vanessa Williams is the queen of fierceness and Becki Newton is the princess … I'm inviting them all to my Spring 2008-09 collection â€" it'll be a great front row!"

No sir, the newest Project Runway champion and Arizona Sen. John McCain don't see eye to eye on this critical issue. Or probably anything else.

Christian Siriano apparently dissed The Hills stars and its stars / budding fashion designers, Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port (Heidi Montag also has a clothing line), at the TAO Beach Season Two Grand Opening in Las Vegas on April 12.

Apparently their fashion lines aren't FIERCE enough for him!

Christian Siriano recently told Life & Style: "It's sad that if I didn't win Project Runway, I probably wouldn't have the sponsors I have now. I would have never been able to do what they have done because they all have disposable income, and yet their work still isn't that great! I mean, it's fun and flirty and young, but they're not innovators. None of them will ever be an innovative designer. Buyers and editors are looking for longevity, and hopefully they will see that in me."

Well, maybe that's true. But did he watch last night's new episode of The Hills? There was some crazy drama at the fashion show for Lauren and Whitney!

Who knew Ashlee Simpson's boyfriend could look so fierce?

In this photo comparison, Pete Wentz looks an awful lot like Project Runway champion Christian Siriano, doesn't he? Can you even tell which is which?
