Heidi Klum Shuns Project Runway Designers  7/21/07

Supermodel Heidi Klim is already planning her outfit for this year's (16Sep07) Emmys ceremony - but she won't be choosing a Project Runway winner.

The German beauty's TV design contest is nominated for an award for the third time, but asking contestants to make her a frock for it isn't an option after a red carpet fiasco last year (06).

She says, "I tried that once. The very first time I got nominated, I asked the winner of the first season, Jay McCarroll, to design something. He had all these great ideas, and then designed something that was absolutely not appropriate.

"It was not an evening red carpet thing for the Emmys - it was like an MTV/Halloween costume! I could not have gone that way. At the end of the day, I said no. He got upset."

Project Runway is up against Top Chef, CBS' The Amazing Race, Fox's American Idol, and ABC's Dancing with the Stars at the Emmys, and was also nominated for Outstanding Picture Editing for Reality Programming and Outstanding Cinematography for Reality Programming Thursday (19Jul07).
