Even though the traditional TV season is ending for the Summer, you don't have to worry about going into withdrawal. There will be plenty to watch, because lots of shows are premiering during the next couple of months. From reality to beloved series that have been missing for almost a year (ahem True Blood), here are some television suggestions for you to tune in to for the Summer.
We've been smitten with Brad Goreski's quirky smile, suave outfits, and cute bow ties ever since we laid eyes on him on The Rachel Zoe Project in 2008. A lot has happened since then with Brad leaving his position at Rachel Zoe last October to spread his own wings and fly — and boy did it pay off. Brad just nabbed his own show on Bravo called It's a Brad Brad World, which will document him as he sets forth in his solo career (i.e. trailing Brad while he hits up Paris Fashion Week and Cannes) as a stylist while simultaneously trying to maintain his personal life. "I'm so excited about my show on @bravotv!," tweeted Goreski. "Can't wait to start filming 'Its a Brad Brad World!!' Dream come true!!" The show is slated to debut sometime this year, so for now, check out all of the Brad cuteness.
>> Rachel Zoe was just named Hollywood's Most Powerful Stylist by The Hollywood Reporter — full list of the top 25 here — and she earns up to $10,000 per job, according to one commercial client.
But Zoe's first pregnancy is full-term, and she's slowing down, she says: “I have this visual of me and [her husband] Rodg living in this amazing house that’s not too big in the south of France, where we go for four months and just sit on the beach and make jewelry. Not to sell, just for fun and therapy. Like literally, take rocks and shells and glue them.”
That's not likely to happen, however: she's got her new Rachel Zoe Collection — “My next tier rollout with Li & Fung will definitely be jewelry,” she says. And although she's not looking to expand her client roster, which currently includes Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Garner, Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore, Liv Tyler, and Eva Mendes, she notes: “That’s not to say I wouldn’t take on new clients, if I was really excited about someone and if it was the right fit.” And The Rachel Zoe Project is due to return in the Fall.
>> Rachel Zoe is in New York one last time (before grounding herself in Los Angeles for the birth of her baby) to preview her new Rachel Zoe collection, her first real design effort.
The collection, done in a deal with Li & Fung, will be aimed at a contemporary level ($250 for a day dress going up to $700 for a full tuxedo look), and encompasses everything from shoes (suede boots and matte croc pumps with super-high heels and platforms, riding boots, flats) to handbags, suiting galore, and Zoe's current "obsession," outerwear. “I’d imagine everybody is expecting something from me that’s kind of a Seventies, uberboho-glam kind of thing, and, you know, very accessorized," Zoe noted of the collection. "And it’s not.”
Although no retailers have been confirmed yet, Li & Fung is targeting specialty stores and better department stores; Zoe ideally sees her collection sitting alongside Diane von Furstenberg, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Alexander Wang.
Zoe, never one to have a single project on her plate, had a Bravo camera crew filming for season four of The Rachel Zoe Project during the preview. “I’ve been asked to slow down,” she told WWD. “But to be totally honest, it’s kind of next to impossible when you’re planning your show and launching your collection, and in the middle of award season.” However, it sounds like the upcoming RZP season won't have any Fashion Week coverage — Zoe, at seven months pregnant, is sitting out the Fall 2011 shows.
Her client Anne Hathaway is hosting the Oscars this year, though, and Zoe says she fully expects, at eight months pregnant, to be supervising every outfit change. “It all depends on his arrival,” she adds, patting her stomach. Her husband, Rodger Berman, confirms: “It’s a little boy.”
Berman tells Harper's Bazaar in the magazine's February 2011 issue: "While I don't know how things are going to change when the baby comes, I know that they will change. But I think it's entirely possible to have a career in fashion and raise a child. Stella McCartney is on her fourth child and remains both a fashion icon and a great mom. All I know is, Rachel and I will figure it out. And if she wants to take the baby to Fashion Week, I say, why not? But we'll probably need an extra hotel room for all of the baby clothes."

Does a man have equal say when it comes to having a bebe? Last night on The Rachel Zoe Project, the celebrity stylist and her husband, Rodger, talked and argued over the right time to have a child. At 38, Rachel's work has become her baby, but Rodg doesn't want their life to be all business, all the time. The tension mounted in the gynecologist's office when the doctor suggested Rachel get a blood test to see what her chances were for conceiving. Rodger was eager to move forward on a family, then Rachel refused to go straight to the lab. While it takes a willing man to create a child, since a woman carries and births the baby — is it ultimately her decision?

I've been watching one of my favorite Bravo guilty pleasures since it's been back: The Rachel Zoe Project. It's a few episodes in, and though I'm getting my fashion fix, it seems to be missing a bit of spark. I know what this spark is: Taylor. Rachel's former assistant was dismissed before the season even started, allegedly because of her sticky fingers on the borrowed designer duds. I'm sure it's a great business move for Rachel and all, but I have to say . . . I kind of wish she was still on the show. A good reality show needs a villain, and Taylor was that. Even though she could occasionally be a good employee, what Taylor did best was making drama (and making Brad cry). Now that she's gone, the focus is on Rachel's stress level or photo shoots that could go awry but never do . . . and I'm bored. Am I alone here? Do you miss Taylor too or are you glad she's gone?
