What the Elle?  By: Rebecca Davis

Project Runway Season 5

Before you can say, "Auf wiedersehen," Project Runway will be back for its fifth season. Although the latest installment of this fashion world favorite, which premieres tonight at 9 pm on Bravo, will surely have its fair share of kooky characters, fans of season four's Chris March can enjoy his snarky commentary and behind-the-scenes tips while blogging for ELLE.com. And while some PR alum have been basking in the spotlight, not all reality TV stars are finding success in the fashion world. Most recently, Lauren Conrad of The Hills was dealt a blow when LA boutique Kitson announced that they won't be carrying her clothing line any more.

In case reality TV fatigue has already set in (and ELLE's own Stylista hasn't even premiered yet!), the boob tube will be graced with several famous faces this fall. In addition to guest spots by Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan, Katie Holmes will be joining the cast of Eli Stone for a one-show guest appearance. Ms. Cruise won't just be acting--she's reportedly dancing and singing as well. Amy Poehler, meanwhile, is rumored to be in talks to join The Office spin-off. Must-see indeed! In fact, the only actress who may not be spending much more time on TV is Katherine Heigl; the actress may be killed off in the next season of Grey's Anatomy, according to Us Weekly. Working in show biz isn't just tough--it can kill you!

In response to Heigl's griping, staffers are considering giving her character, Dr. Izzie Stevens, a brain tumor. "[Producer] Shonda [Rhimes] and the writers are pissed at her," the source tells Us. "It's their way of screwing with her. She won't know whether she's going to live or die." Still, there's good news for fans sad to see Izzie suffer: newly single Jeffrey Dean Morgan will reprise his role as hunky patient Denny Duquette, whom Izzie will see in visions brought on by the tumor. And a second source thinks the story arc, ironically, may not be a bad thing for Heigl: "If her character does get a brain tumor, she'll probably get an Emmy!" A rep for ABC tells Us, "We can confirm that [Morgan] will be back, but we are not releasing any further details." The show returns September 25 with a two-hour premiere.

Angelina Jolie Twins

After months of speculation (and a few false announcements), Angelina Jolie finally gave birth to twins Knox and Vivienne on Saturday night in a hospital on the French Riviera. With the Jolie-Pitt family now up to eight, media outlets have started the guessing game anew, pointing fingers at the next celeb to welcome twins to the family. We ourselves have been feeling baby fatigue, which may have been why we loved the distraction in this weekend's Miss Universe competition. Sequined dresses, intricate updos, and the requisite Miss USA stumble all enlivened the weekend and gave us more to talk about then just what the French Mayor said to welcome the future Hollywood stars. Chrystle Stewart of Texas, who represented the United States at the annual competition, could learn a thing or two from Rihanna; the singer-turned-fashion icon has not only stayed upright onstage while teetering on six-inch heels, but has landed the spot as the face of Gucci's new UNICEF campaign. The 20-year-old will be selling special-edition products from the "Tattoo Heart" collection (with 25-percent of sales donated to the children's organization) in what will surely be provocative poses.

Estee Lauder Sensuous at Bloomingdales

Taking a page from the bevy of male superheroes invading movie theaters this summer, Estee Lauder tapped a fearsome foursome to be the face of its new fragrance, Sensuous. Gwyneth Paltrow (no stranger to the superhero genre), Elizabeth Hurley, Carolyn Murphy, and Hilary Rhoda stormed Gotham yesterday, taking over Wall Street before sending women screaming at Bloomingdales' flagship store in Midtown. The quartet signed bottles of the perfume during their only in-store appearance, leaving attendees breathless — one went so far as to say, "I wanted to kill myself because they were so beautiful." Thankfully, attendees were bathed in amber wood, not blood, but there was a case of fashion inciting violence earlier this week. The victim, recovering from a wound to the hand caused by a stilleto stabbing, could find solace at Isla Moda, where Karl Lagerfeld is designing limited edition homes on this Dubaian archipelago.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban

Hollywood is full of babes — literally. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban welcomed daughter Sunday Rose on Monday morning, while Matthew McConaughey officially became a father Monday afternoon. The eternal bachelor has a new guy to pal around with since his model girlfriend Camila Alves gave birth in L.A. No word yet on the name — perhaps he should consult with Chris Martin, who told Blender, "There's nothing weird about calling your baby Chewbacca if that's what you want to call your baby... It's no stranger than Sarah." And while Kidman may be considered an older mother at age 41, she's got nothing on India's Omkari Panwar, the 70-year-old woman who just gave birth to twins. No word yet on whether or not Panwar has a book deal, like Oprah guest Thomas Beatie (aka The Pregnant Man), who gave birth to a baby girl last week. With this influx of Hollywood progeny (and at least two more on the way in the next few weeks), it's the perfect time to return to one of TV's favorite famous families — no, not the Cleavers, the Osbournes.

It's official: the '90s are back. In case the flannel Louboutin pumps (which we're convinced cross-dressing Kurt Cobain would have worn were he alive today) arriving in stores this month don't make you a believer, the news that Shannen Doherty is in talks to join 90210 (2.0) certainly will. While she hasn't officially signed on yet, shooting for the fall TV show is well underway, with reports coming out that what had formerly been known as Eat Well Café in Los Angeles has been turned into the Peach Pit overnight. And while yesterday may have been Black Tuesday for Starbucks baristas (and the people who rely on them for their daily dose of caffeine), another well-known coffee joint — Central Perk — may be getting a second chance. The Daily Mail has reported that a Friends movie is in the works. Although we haven't heard of many women clamoring for a Rachel haircut to go with their '90s-inspired Alexander Wang jeans, the fact that Sex and the City did so well (bringing in $300 million so far) may have helped to get this project going. Next up? Seinfeld, the Musical and the return of Elaine's ankle-grazing floral skirts.
