If and when the 'Rachel Zoe Project' resumes on Bravo, it will have to be without assistant Taylor Jacobson.

PEOPLE is reporting that Zoe has fired Jacobson, effective immediately. Zoe's rep, Carrie Gordon, has since confirmed the news.

Why Jacobson was let go remains to be seen, although, given how often she complained about her job on the show, many would say she had it coming.

Still, Jacobson insists that the decision was solely her own. Hoping to begin her own fashion styling business, Jacobson's Twitter account and emails to colleagues, leaked to Fashionista, reflect her enthusiasm to get out on her own. "I am saddened and exhilarated at the same time to announce my departure," she wrote. "After much thought and consideration, I have decided to take the challenging leap and go off and style on my own."

It hasn't been a good season for the men of 'Project Runway,' with last night's final challenge episode ending with an all-female final four, meaning no fellas will be showing their collections at New York Fashion Week in the season finale.

The last man standing for season six: Minnesota native Christopher Straub, the 30-year-old self-taught designer who won the season's first challenge -- featuring guest judge Lindsay Lohan -- and, as he himself points out, then spent many weeks in the bottom three.

But that was okay by him -- better bottom three than being "safe," as Straub points out, because simply being "in" means being sent backstage and not getting the chance to talk about your design.

Straub, who was voted the fan favorite designer at MyLifetime.com during each of his 12 weeks on the show, talked to AOL TV the morning after his elimination from the competition, and dished about challenging the judges, being committed to not playing it safe, his new accessories line, the possibility of 'The Christopher Show' and how he never meant to become 'The Cryer' of the season.

In last night's double elimination episode of 'Project Runway,' the last male finalist, Christopher Straub, was sent packing, as was the fourth place finisher, self-taught designer and boutique owner (and Yugoslavian native) Gordana Gehlhausen.

Gehlhausen, who owns two clothing boutiques, in South Carolina and San Diego, won one challenge during the season, spent a few weeks in the bottom three and several more in the top three or getting the trademark Heidi Klum "You're in" pass, but says she knew fairly early on in the season that the judges wouldn't be sending her to show in New York Fashion Week.

The day after her elimination from 'Project Runway's sixth season, Gehlhausen talked to AOL TV about the pretty dress she created in the finale, the weirdness of this season's judging efforts, her goals to inspire younger creative types and how she thinks 'Project Runway' could learn a thing or two from 'So You Think You Can Dance.'

So I was talking with some normal acquaintances of mine (by "normal," I just mean people who don't write or edit stories about entertainment for a living), and I started raving about 'Project Runway' -- how the designers manage to create amazing garments in just one or two days and how nice Tim Gunn is and how mean and funny Michael Kors is and how just plain mean Nina Garcia is -- and I started to notice that they were giving each other odd looks.

Then I realized that those looks were saying, "I thought he was straight."

It gets worse when I talk about 'Dancing With the Stars' -- how it's inspiring when a celebrity with a downward-trending career creates a beautiful performance and how Bruno is crazy and how Len is fussy but almost always right and how delicious the show's retro cheesiness is -- and people start giving my wife sympathetic glances.

Tim Gunn: Videogame action hero. That's the scenario you'll see next year when Atari introduces a 'Project Runway' game for the Nintendo Wii. Variety reports that Gunn and Heidi Klum are expected to lend their stylista stamps of approval to a game based on the popular catwalk competition, whose sixth season currently airs on Lifetime.

Following the pattern of the show, players will start as designers, creating outfits, hairstyles, makeup and accessories for their models. Players can then become photographers and document the collections, or they can be models and strut down the catwalk, using the Wii balance board.

Sometime in the early 2000s, Tyra Banks had the idea for a competitive reality show that would crown a new supermodel. Back when the second season was debuting, she told me the idea came to her while she was staring out of the large picture window in her living room. I, too come up with my best reality television show ideas while staring into blank space, but unfortunately I don't have Tyra's credibility or connections, and my knitting competition show has yet to debut.
