Rachel Zoe Reveals She is Having a Boy

Rachel Zoe and her husband, Rodger Berman are expecting a boy in April. This has hardly slowed down the Bravo star's busy schedule. Click here for the full story from The Hollywood Reporter.

Congratulations, Jeffrey Williams!

This week's challenge was to produce a pair of eccentric looks based on accessories hand-picked for each designer by Barney's Simon Doonan. Jeffrey received a pair of quite fabulous chandelier earrings and an amazing feathered capelet for which he created two chic-yet-avant garde ivory looks that were perfect matches.

Originally, he had paired the pants with the earrings and the gown with the cape, but in the end switched them. And they were still perfect.

Congrats, Jeffrey, on your second win, and we're looking forward to seeing what you do next week.

Wow - I think it's pretty safe to say that a lot of us didn't see this elimination coming. After all, Eduardo had won three prior challenges. His work in the past was all extremely well-executed and quite lovely; unfortunately the judges thought it was a bit repetitive with ruffled cocktail dresses week after week after week.

Personally, I like ruffled cocktail dresses.

Eduardo, you should be very proud of your accomplishments on The Fashion Show and we at Blogging Bravo are excited to see what you produce in the future.

Tonight on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

BRAVO'S The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Thursday 1/6 @ 10/9c: Taylor's marriage problems continue to weigh on her mind as her husband leaves her alone at a party. Will confiding in Kyle help Taylor work through her issues or is it going to take some serious counseling to get back on the right track? Speaking of rocky marriages, when Camille invites some of the ladies and their husbands over for a game of tennis, Camille doesn't seem to mind that Kelsey is out of the town and gets a little too up close and personal with the male attendees. Will this stir up more trouble between Kyle and Camille or are the two finally putting the past behind them?

BB Love to Cindy Ayvar

This week Cindy was paired with Calvin for a wedding challenge. While the two designers were definitely not a match made in heaven, it was Cindy's construction that was ultimately her downfall. The suit she created for her groom was interesting and had potential, but it did not make the cut.

It was heartening to see Iman give Cindy such a nice pep talk and hug at the elimination...you know if Iman can see the greatness within, Cindy can definitely go places in the future. Our best to her.

Congratulations, Dominique Pearl David!

With this week's win, Dominique has scored two in a row! Although immunity could have led her to go a little crazy and try something unconventional, she used her simple and elegant design sensibility to turn out a linen wedding dress that pleased her customer and the judges as well.

We can't wait to see what Dominique will turn out next week. Congratulations to her!

This Week on Millionaire Matchmaker

BRAVO's The Millionaire Matchmaker 4, Tuesday January 4 – This week Patti deals with one very superficial client and another client with serious commitment issues. Robin, a successful woman in her 30's has very specific physical requests (Hello Mathew McConaughey!) but Patti isn't afraid to call her out on trying to snag a guy out of her league. John, on the other hand, is looking for a real relationship but will have to move out of his comfort zone and face his commitment issues head on. Will Patti straighten these two out and find them love or will their on-going issues cause more matchmaking drama?

This Week on Millionaire Matchmaker

Just because you are a millionaire, it doesn't mean you know how to use that money to dress right. Patti brings in the big guns, her favorite image consultant to help her client Matt look the part of a successful and interesting man as opposed to quirky and uptight. Also struggling with appropriate style, Patti's millionairess of the week Elena, doesn't mind showing a little (or rather, a LOT) of skin. Will Matt and Elena agree to play by Patti's rules and attract the right kind of date or will the two clients stick with the looks that have failed them in the past? Find out this Tuesday 12/28 @9/8c on BRAVO's The Millionaire Matchmaker 4.

Tonight on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Has Camille taken the Kyle vs. Camille feud too far? Camille decides that her and her husband no longer want to work with Kyle's husband, but Kyle is not going to let it go that easy. Taylor's party might be the perfect place for Kyle to mend fences and get Camille back on her side. Or, based on previous interactions, it may just blow up in their faces once again. Will the ladies give it yet another try at friendship or will their drama ruin Taylor's big event? Find out this Thursday 12/23 @10/9c on BRAVO's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Thank you David!

BB Love to David Caldwell

This week's challenge was particularly difficult in that it involved re-purposing clothes from the Lost and Found into a coherent collection. While David had lots of good ideas in using the various print fabrics he found, the judges were not thrilled with his over-accessorizing.

Poor David - he just admitted he had feelings for fellow contestant Dominique, and now he has to wait to see her again.

David - good luck with your future endeavors. You have talent and you have the potential to go far in the fashion world.
