If Lifetime is determined to prove in its new ad campaign that Project Runway is harmless mainstream programming enjoyed by the least hip heterosexuals in the country, at least the network is planning to throw LGBTs a glittery bone by planning what may be the gayest episode of series television since the NBC-scuttled episode of My Two Dads entitled "Merlot and Revelations."
TV Guide's Michael Ausiello has the scoop:
Liza Minnelli and Delta Burke are set to play dueling sisters on Lifetime's upcoming legal dramedy Drop Dead Diva, sources confirm to me exclusively.
On Diva, which premieres July 12, Minnelli plays a psychic who takes her sister (Burke) to court after she opens a competing psychic shop directly across the street from her store. Their episode airs Sept. 20 and also features an encore appearance by Rosie O'Donnell as a judge.
Oh, and also? This show stars Margaret Cho. Sorry Glee, but you've got your work cut out for you now.
