A Little TOO into Project Runway

This is kind of a salacious story, so I hesitate to pass it on...but, bless his heart, it it turns out that the new show runner for Gilmore Girls, David Rosenthal, was a wee bit TOO into Heidi Klum. According to Defamer and a LA Times article: Rosenthal met Klum when she appeared on Spin City; his marriage broke up after he wrote a quite vulgar play called "Love" about trying to get Klum to bed him; the NY Times called the play "not only offensive but incompetent" and Rosenthal's agents dropped him as a client; and then Rosenthal was briefly committed at UCLA Medical Center. A even more detailed account is at Televisionary.

I know it's totally snarky to even mention someone's breakdown--we all have them on lesser or even greater scales. It's just that this meltdown was so scandalous and so very public. When Rosenthal was asked about Heidi Klum last week at a Television Critics Association Q&A session for the Gilmore Girls, Lauren Graham shot the question down flat-out. It's cool that she has his back.
