THE COURT ORDERS THE PARTIES TO MAKE IT WORK: Apparently, the Weinstein Company, producers of Project Runway, have signed a deal with Lifetime for season 6 (to begin airing in November), taking the show away from Bravo. NBC/Universal, Bravo's parent, has sued, claiming they have a right of first refusal. Season 5 will air before November, and casting has already begun.

HA HA! YOUR MEDIUM IS DYING! So, the 2008 Pulitzer Prizes are out. A few things of note:

• Dominance by the Washington Post (Public Service Prize for Walter Reed coverage, Breaking News Prize for Virginia Tech coverage, National Reporting Prize for Cheney coverage, International Reporting Prize for private security contractors in Iraq cover, Column Prize to Steven Pearlstein, Feature Writing Prize to Gene Weingarten for "violinist in the subway").
• Tom Batiuk recognized in editorial cartooning as a finalist for his "Lisa Dies" sequence in Funky Winkerbean.
• The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao is your fiction Pulitzer winner.
• Surprising no one, August: Osage County is your drama Pulitzer winner (some surprise in that neither In The Heights nor Passing Strange gets a finalist slot).
• "A special citation to Bob Dylan for his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power."

AND RICHARD ROEPER, OF COURSE, WAS USELESS: Apologies for their being no Top Chef thread until now, but the question is simple: surely you have a better idea for a movie-inspired course of food than most of what we saw this week. A White Russian-flavored semifreddo for The Big Lebowski? A modern take on the slider in tribute to H&K Go To White Castle? A Tootsie-themed entree with a traditionally Jewish food cross-dressing as Southern -- say, kasha and bowties but with a sausage gravy?

12 O'CLOCK HIGH: It must be easier to be oppose psychoactive drug use if you own a P-51 Mustang.

FAITH, I MUST LEAVE THEE, LOVE, AND SHORTLY, TOO / MY OPERANT POWERS THEIR FUNCTIONS LEAVE TO DO: Charlton Heston, actor and icon, has died at the age of 84. Planet of the Apes and the Ten Commandments notwithstanding, I still think my favorite role of his was as the Player King in Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet.

He will be missed.
