NBC's Bravo May Have Lost Project Runway to Lifetime, But Its Keeping the Producers

Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz of production company Magical Elves are the duo responsible for turning Project Runway into ratings and publicity gold. That's why NBC was angling for 'em, and now they've got 'em, signing the twosome to an exclusive deal, effectively stealing them away from the Weinstein Co.'s fashion franchise just as they're moving from Bravo to Lifetime. Cutforth and Lipsitz will remain producers for Bravo's Top Chef and NBC's Last Comic Standing.

Oh, what's that? NBC owns Bravo? Yeah. It was basically Jeff Zucker's way of brushing the top of his hand underneath his chin at Harvey Weinstein.

None of this, however, brings any conclusion to the saga of whether Nina Garcia, and Michael Kors, will stay with the show. (The Weinstein Co. has deals already with Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn, assuring their return.)
