We love the fact that Project Runway’s Andre Gonzalo has a delightfully big mouth. Remember him? He was the guy two seasons ago with the shaved head and a tendancy to disappear, causing Tim Gunn to repeat “Where’s Andre?” Anyway, we ran into Andre at the World of Wonder Christmas party and we mentioned the rumor that Tim Gunn might not be returning to the show. Supposedly the show schedule might conflict with Tim’s work as head of the fashion design department at Parsons. Andre scoffed at the notion and called it a publicity stunt. He said the show films at Parsons when school is NOT in session. So how could it conflict with Tim’s job? He’s confident the show will NOT have to go on without Tim.
I read that the producers want to start filming the new season right away while Parsons is still in session. However, I still think it sounds a little fishy. I’m thinking Tim must have gotten an agent or a greedy little boyfriend and they put a bug in his ear about holding out for more money…but he totally deserves it, Gramps is HOT and steals the show whenever he’s on. They could easily lose Heidi or any of the judges.
