Esmee Denters Blown Away By Stevie Wonder Concert
Esmee Denters updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (September 18) after seeing Stevie Wonder perform back home in the Netherlands. Denters writes: Hey everybody, I got back home to the Netherlands just in time because one of my all-time favorite singers was here to perform!

newVideoPlayer("/PR_Kenley_Whine.flv", 506, 423,""); The challenge on last night's episode of Project Runway was insane: The contestants had to design outfits for each other, inspired by musical genres. Kenley's genre was pop. Suede's? Punk. Korto's was country, Leanne's was hip hop, and Jerell's was rock and roll. In the workroom, Tim Gunn approached Kenley with his trademark diplomacy, saying, "Correct me. I'm an old fart." He was concerned about her "hip hop" ensemble. Kenley quickly became a defensive
