Bravo just premiered a new TV show with Project Runway's Tim Gunn called Tim Gunn's Guide to Style. 
At first glance this show appears to be "another makeover program" but upon deeper examination its so much more! Its about making a lifestyle transformation. The gist: fashion-challenged women aren't just provided new outfits they are re-styled and taught how to bring the best of themselves out. At first, Tim can be harsh calling one woman's clothes "slutty" to her face and others outfits a "disaster" but after a one-week process Tim and his assistant former model, Veronica Webb, help turn one fashion-challenged woman into a fashion maven!
For more information on time(s) that this show airs as well as bio's, blogs, message boards and fashion tips check out Tim Gunn's Guide to Style Bravo Website.

Stephanie Meyer's Twilight young adult book series has hit the best seller list with each installment, but it isn't the only series to take a crack at mixing 
sci-fi and romance. Roswell, a WB series that started in 1999 ran three seasons. It centered around a girl named Liz Parker (Shiri Appleby) who lives in Roswell, New Mexico. The pilot episode starts with a bang, literally, when a gun goes off in the Crash Down (her families alien-themed cafe) and Liz gets hit. In a split second decision, the bruiting Max Evans (Jason Behr) saves Liz's life by using his powers. Yes, that's right his powers!
