>> INSIDER WIRE —They've had a TV presence with Project Runway, Stylista, and Ugly Betty, but Elle is looking for more — especially to boost those lagging circulation numbers.  The magazine has enlisted Creative Artists Agency to help them drum up more TV and film partnerships, since they're no longer with Project Runway, and Stylista may not be back after poor ratings.  A little different approach to making money than Vogue, who decided to put ten archival images on sale, starting at $2,500.

TV Tonight: The Stylista Finale

If you're anything like me — and frankly, if the ratings are any indication, you're probably not — the most important item on your TiVo tonight is the season finale of Stylista.

If you're anything like me — and frankly, if the ratings are any indication, you're probably not — the most important item on your TiVo tonight is the season finale of Stylista. So OK, the show hasn't exactly been a hit (think: half the ratings of your average Gossip Girl episode), but it's basically defined the term "guilty pleasure" with all of its childish outbursts and infighting.

Tonight's finale comes down to three aspiring Elle editors: Megan, Johanna, and Dyshaun. Every reality show must have its "I'm not here to make friends" moment, and Megan's had about a dozen, alienating almost every contestant along the way. Johanna's had her share of nastiness (she was pretty harsh with poor Danielle), but she has a pretty interesting back story — military analyst! — and clearly sees this job as her last shot at a fashion career. And then there's Dyshaun, who's just a big blank to me. Has he done anything notable in the competition? Have I just blocked it out? So I guess that all adds up to me rooting for Johanna as we roll into the final episode.

Stylista's been its most fun (and train wreck-ish) when the contestants really get to yelling at each other, so it should be interesting tonight when all of the eliminated folks return to help the finalists with their last task. Is anyone else still hanging in there with this show? If so, which contestant are you rooting for? You can check out a couple of preview clips if you read more

Best of 2008: Favorite FABTV Show

Fashion is an increasingly popular TV show topic.

Fashion is an increasingly popular TV show topic. This year we watched a few oldies but goodies — Project Runway, America's Next Top Model, Tim Gunn's Guide to Style — and turned on the tube for a few newbies: The Rachel Zoe Project and Stylista. Gossip Girl will always have a special place in our hearts for its eternal wardrobe appeal. Which show had your TiVo in a tizzy this year?

Are You Shocked Katie Is Still in the Running For Stylista?

If there is such a thing as luck, then Katie on Stylista has it.

If there is such a thing as luck, then Katie on Stylista has it. Even though all the stronger contestants have been wanting her out since day one, she made it to the top five last night. The first challenge asked them to purchase a present that Anne can give to nightlife-queen-turned-actress Amy Sacco. Team Megan and Ashlie prevailed. Then they had to memorize the names of 90 industry insiders and recite them to Anne at a party. Megan, Ashlie, and Dyshaun took the cake, while Danielle was ousted. Are you shocked that Katie is still in the competition?
