It all started when Heidi Klum posed for an artistic nude cover of the German GQ magazine. Shortly after the issue came out, German designer Wolfgang Joop called Klum “heavy” and the controversy erupted. It seems, however, the attack is not phasing the supermodel.

According to Extra TV, she said on an interview that, “everyone is open to their own opinion.”

This week, her friend, designer and judge of Project Runway, Michael Kors, spoke up to defend her, claiming her body is no less than perfect. “Listen, I love a curvy girl,” Kors said. “I think curvy people make the clothes come alive… Heidi has the body that most women and most guys consider a 10 plus.”

And Klum’s “Project Runway” cohort Tim Gunn reveals Joop isn’t the only German fashion foe taking aim at Klum – Karl Lagerfeld has also poked fun at the model’s size.

He adds, “They (Lagerfeld and Joop) need to go to an ophthalmologist right away.”

Movie and TV mogul Harvey Weinstein has vowed to broadcast the next season of reality show Project Runway even if it means airing it on the radio.

The sixth installment of the hit show is stranded in limbo as bosses at TV station Bravo battle Weinstein’s attempts to transfer it to the Lifetime network.

The final episode was completed at New York Fashion Week, but not a single episode has yet aired – leaving Weinstein and presenter Heidi Klum fuming.

But the Oscar-winning producer has vowed the show will reach audiences – by any means possible.

During an appearance on Ryan Seacrest’s Los Angeles radio show on Friday, Weinstein said, “We’ve taped all 13 episodes and nobody’s seen any of it yet.”

“Hopefully we can sit down and work this out.”

“But if not, we own the radio rights free and clear – so if you (Seacrest) could describe all 13 episodes…”

Project Runway fans, brace yourselves. The airing of the sixth season is a long way off. The reality show filmed its season 6 finale Friday at Bryant Park, but the legal battle about who gets to air the season still rages and there’s no air date set.

“This year is going to be a little different,” Runway host Heidi Klum told the crowd. “This is (the designer’s) moment and unfortunately nobody has seen the show yet. I’m a little bit sad for our designers that they don’t get that recognition today. We’re all in a bit of a limbo.”

Since the show hasn’t aired anything at all, the producers did not bring out the three designers.

“We wish we could bring out the three designers but we can’t,” Tim Gunn said at the show.

International Herald Tribune editor -and fashion industry veteran – Suzy Menkes acted as guest judge for the show. PEOPLE reports that among the stars lending their power to the show this season were Christina Aguilera, Eva Longoria Parker and Rebecca Romijn.

Because the Project Runway moved to Los Angeles for this season, permanent judges Nina Garcia and Michael Kors weren’t able to judge every challenge each week. Instead, various editors from Marie Claire (where Garcia is now employed) have been tapped to fill in as needed.

Added loads of pictures of Heidi at the arrivals to the 81st Academy Awards and at the Governor’s Ball Party.
