Harvey Weinstein

Congratulations are in order for Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman, who gave birth to a boy late last week.

Page Six reported that Chapman and her movie-mogul husband, Harvey Weinstein, welcomed the new addition to their family on Thursday in New York. It's the first son for both Chapman and Weinstein and the second child the couple has had together (they had a daughter, India Pearl, in 2010). Weinstein has three daughters — Emma, Lily, and Ruth — from his first marriage.

Update: Page Six has reported that the baby's name is Dashiell Max Robert. The first name is for The Thin Man author Dashiell Hammett (a source said Weinstein was reminded of the book's main female character, Nora Charles, when he first met Chapman). Max was Weinstein's father's name, and he and his brother Robert (known as Bob) formed both Miramax and The Weinstein Company together.

Karl Lagerfeld and Harvey Weinstein will auction off a chance to star in a short film at the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS gala in Cannes. Weinstein will produce the short, and Lagerfeld will serve as its director.

Among other lots available for auction at the gala is an all-black wardrobe, which will be displayed in a fashion show curated by Carine Roitfeld. Money will benefit amfAR's continuing AIDS research.

>> Speculation that arose last week has been confirmed: Angela Lindvall — not Heidi Klum — will host Lifetime's upcoming Project Runway All Stars spinoff. "Here I am in New York City! I landed a huge opportunity that will have me here for a month," Lindvall wrote last month on her blog. "Have to keep it top secret for now."

In place of Project Runway judges Michael Kors and Nina Garcia, Isaac Mizrahi and Marchesa's Georgina Chapman (who also happens to be married to the show's executive producer Harvey Weinstein) will join Lindvall on the All Stars judging panel. The show will premiere later this year on Lifetime.

And speaking of models heading to television, Carolyn Murphy just noted that she's currently "working on a TV show."

>> Heidi Klum has been Project Runway's host from the start, but as the show prepares for Project Runway All-Stars — an upcoming eight-episode spin-off series bringing back some of the show's alumni to compete against one another — Klum will not be pulling double hosting duties. According to a Lifetime spokesperson, All-Stars "is a completely separate show, with a separate host and a separate set of judges."

So who will be stepping in to host the spin-off? Originally, it was thought that Miranda Kerr might be a candidate, after she was spotted meeting with Project Runway executive producer Harvey Weinstein last week. But it sounds like Kerr is just in talks to be an All-Stars guest judge. Now, rumors have pointed in another direction: Modelinia reports hearing that Angela Lindvall has signed on as host. Lindvall has done TV — aside from walking in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show — in the past: she co-starred in the green makeover series Alter Eco back in 2008.

>> Alexa Chung and her longtime boyfriend, Artic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner, have split; the couple, 27 and 25 respectively, were together for over four years. "It's completely amicable — but yes it's true. They have split," Chung's spokesperson confirmed in a statement yesterday.

Chung recently bought an apartment in New York after landing a hosting gig for the upcoming Lifetime show 24-Hour Catwalk — which pits designers against each other in runway challenges — created by Harvey Weinstein. Turner, meanwhile, is currently on a world tour through the rest of the Summer. They started dating in April 2007, after meeting at Coachella.

>> Marios Schwab's fate at Halston didn't sound promising yesterday, and now it's been determined: his contract, which expired, will not be renewed. It sounds like the Halston designer collection, too, is no longer: The brand will reportedly not produce a Spring 2012 collection, and it sounds like it's unclear as to whether the Fall 2011 collection will be delivered to stores.

Harvey Weinstein, who has had an equity stake in Halston for the past couple of years, has also officially split from the brand. As WWD notes, he brought high-profile attention to the brand with his name attached, but: "His role was essentially that of a figurehead with little or no operational responsibility."

Despite all the departures, Halston is still said to have full confidence from parent company Hilco Consumer Capital, which recently invested $7.5 million in the brand more after seeing recent growth at retail. The focus going forward is said to be on the secondary Halston Heritage line.
