Lifetime Spins Project Runway Off into... a Marriage Counseling Series?

Curse you, Marriage Ref, for making anyone believe that it is acceptable for celebrities to offer relationship advice to strangers. Sadly, Lifetime is making Jerry Seinfeld's evil experiment a trend by developing a similarly-formatted series for Heidi Klum. And they're positioning it as a Project Runway spin-off.

The untitled series (Project Relationship, anyone?) is still in its early stages of development but is being described as a reality relationship mission for the Runway host and her husband Seal, who will coach couples in distress all over the country. Thankfully, this on-the-road concept means no studio audience and no Tom Papa.

In other Project Runway spin-off news, Lifetime and the Weinstein Co. are developing a reality vehicle for former contestants Santino Rice and Austin Scarlett. The series would follow Rice and Scarlett as they grant fashion makeovers to women all over the country.
