Project Runway Contestants Revealed

After a year of nasty legal battles, 'Project Runway' is finally coming back in style. The show's long-awaited sixth season faced an uncertain future for much of 2008. After the Weinstein Co. signed a reported multi-million dollar deal to move the show from Bravo to Lifetime, NBC Universal (which owns Bravo) filed a lawsuit, which was finally settled in April of this year. 'Runway' will now air on Lifetime as planned, starting Aug. 20 at 10PM. Season 5 ended its run on Bravo in Oct., 2008. So now that it has a new home, will 'Project Runway' be any different from previous seasons?

Here's what we know so far, according to the Hollywood Reporter:

L.A. State of Mind: Not only is 'Project Runway' moving networks, the show is also headed from New York to Los Angeles for the first time ever. As part of the move, 'Runway' will feature guest appearances from a number of L.A.-friendly celebrities, including Lindsay Lohan and Christina Aguilera. How very 'Top Model' of them.

Familiar Faces: Despite the move, season 6 will carry on with the same principle cast: Host Heidi Klum, mentor Tim Gunn and judges Michael Kors and Nina Garcia.

And A Few Unseen: Because season 6 wrapped long before the case was settled, February's Bryant Park fashion show had to be taped without appearances from the three finalists. Instead, their collections were shown anonymously.

Model Behavior: The sometimes robotic 'Runway' models (who take part in their own mini-competition, as Heidi always likes to point out) will star in the spin-off 'Models of the Runway,' airing after the show.
