And then @heidiklum made @TimGunn do the #ALSicebucketchallenge on the runway. #projectrunway x #NYFWIt's usually the contestants at "Project Runway" who get a cold dose of reality on the catwalk, but today, the A&E reality star got a cold awakening all his own.Supermodel Heidi Klum made Gunn do the Ice Bucket Challenge to benefit ALS research, and Gunn's reaction is priceless. - 12:05 AMLisa MarshFront row at Carmen Marc Valvo: two of the kitchen crew from 'Orange is the New Black,' Patina and Andrea Martin from 'Pippin,' Hilaria Baldwin and her (and Alec Baldwin's) baby who wants to crawl on the runway and a man who hasn't seemed to have bathed this year (next to me - ugh!).
