If you haven’t caught it yet, take an hour or two from your weekend to watch it. The New York Times thinks it’s worthy of your time, too: “American Mall” is to “High School Musical” as “The Little Mermaid” is to “The Mickey Mouse Club”: older, wiser, marginally sexier — and pretty wonderful.

While I did get to stand on the red carpet and chat with the mall rats, these pictures are far more professional and pleasing to the eye than mine were.

Nina Dobrev’s dress was designed by the winner of Canada’s Project Runway; Autumn Reeser was wearing white ruffles with fuschia heels – kind of like a grown-up girl’s version of Barbie shoes.

These yellow peep-toes looked picture-perfect with Brooke Lyons’s subdued navy party dress; although the pink + ruffles was a little much, Bianca Collins was the cutest thing around. She literally bounced down the carpet.

Although this babydoll number doesn’t look quite as spectacular in the snapshot, it had a wonderful taffeta sheen and adorable pink sequined circles; speaking of sequins, this mauve dress shimmered in the L.A. sun.

You may want to cover your eyes because here come more changes for Project Runway. Variety reports Bunim-Murray is thisclose to signing on to produce when the show moves to Lifetime for season six. They’ve been talking to the Weinstein Co. for weeks about taking over the gig.

You know these producers — they’ve brought us the Real World, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Living Lohan, Bad Girls Club, Making the Band, and Born to Diva.

As much as we loved the first few seasons of the Real World, Bunim-Murray’s work as of late, namely Living Lohan and Keeping Up With the Kardashians, has not been our cup of tea. In fact, if we may be blunt, we’d rather eat paint chips than watch either of those shows for more than four minutes, and that’s saying a lot since we have zero shame in liking really bad TV. Then again, Making the Band did have its moments so maybe this isn’t the worst idea?

Oh, who are we kidding? We’re going to need extra therapy sessions when season six starts anyway.

Project Runway’s Heidi Klum brings a little old Hollywood glamor to the 2008 Peabody Awards in this white RM by Ronald Mouret gown with dolled up hair. Her light makeup and red lips are reminiscent of unforgettable starlets like Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe. She finishes the look with adorned pumps and some lustrous jewelry in true sophisticate style. Kudos to Heidi for successfully bringing a touch of the past into a refreshing, new look that is so very worthy of the red carpet!
