Fashion Star
NBC, 9:30 p.m. ET
SERIES PREMIERE: This is not a recommendation. But you have to give NBC credit, in advance, for three things. One, ripping off as much as legally possible of the Project Runway format. Two, finding a way to cram even more product placement into each show, while making the results themselves a giant commercial – the buyers claiming the winning design get to sell it, in stores, the very next day. And three, any reality competition series that finds room for Elle Macpherson, Nicole Richie and Jessica Simpson (pictured) in the same show has a leg up on the competition. Maybe as many as six of them.
