Alexa Chung's 24 Hour Catwalk Series Premiere

January

2012

So, did you hear that Alexa Chung has a new show? And this time it's all about fashion?? Yes!!!! 24 Hour Catwalk premieres tonight (Tuesday, January 10th @ 10/9c), and let me just tell you why my DVR is set to record.

Yeah, it's kind of another Project Runway (which just premiered an "All-Star" season), but trade Heidi for Alexa, and trade Michael Kors & Co for designer Cynthia Rowley, fashion editor Derek Blasberg (New York Times best-selling author, Editor at Large for US Harper's Bazaar, and Senior Editor of V, and VMan) and publicist James LaForce, (a "highly-regarded media and communications consultant"). Alright, I'm on board.

Now, instead of a whole cast and a whole season, we get four new designers per episode (slashed to two after a "first cut" elimination challenge), who have 24 hours (a-ha!) to complete a full runway collection. The prize: $10,000. Not bad. Also, the designers are provided with a "talented and opinionated" sewing team to help them make it to the finish line. Cue the drama. Add in some mystery trunks, and we've got a healthy blend of everything I love to see in my reality TV queue.

Oh, sneak peek? Don't mind if I do...

Afraid you're going to miss it? Worry not! You can watch the first full episode here. And for future reference, watch Tuesdays at 10/9c on Lifetime. Now here's hoping Alexa makes a ton of wardrobe changes...

The New Girl we can't get enough of: Zooey Deschanel

Oh my goodness . . . can Zooey Deschanel do no wrong?

Of all the things I look forward to in life, new television programs don't typically make the cut. It's true that I recently stumbled upon the horribly wonderful reality show Love in the Wild and bring it up at work EVERY Thursday morning, but new television shows can all-too-often be such unfulfilling forms of entertainment that they often slip from their time slots without anyone (espcially me) noticing.

However, big screen starlet, Zooey Deschanel, paying me a visit on those dreary Tuesday nights sounds almost too good to be true! Hello New Girl!

The Gist: The quirky and "adorkable" Jess (Deschanel) finds new roommates after experiencing a traumatic and rather odd break-up. Each with their own distinct personalities, the three male roomies reluctantly take her in and help her get back in the game. Together, along with Jess's professional model BF, form a happily dysfunctional (and hopefully hilarious) family. Check out the trailer below:
