Big changes have taken place – a new location [LA] and a new network [Lifetime] – but one constant is Tim Gunn. This silver fox continues to entertain and coax the best out of the contestants with his “Make it work”.

I thought that we should celebrate the new season of Project Runway with Tim Gunn’s favorite drink: The Manhattan on the rocks. Mix up a couple and enjoy the show.

The Manhattan on the Rocks

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 oz. Bourbon
• 1/4 oz. Sweet Vermouth
• 1/4 oz. Dry Vermouth
• dash Angostura Bitters
• Maraschino cherry
• ice

Directions:

Add ice to your cocktail shaker along with everything except your cherry. Shake for 30 seconds or until the shaker gets almost too cold to touch.

Strain into a Rocks glass that’s filled 1/2 way full with ice and garnish with a cherry.

Usually, for a Manhattan on the rocks, you just build your drink in the Rocks glass, but I prefer to shake it first to make sure that everything is well mixed. That, and I like to shake things in a cocktail shaker.

Enjoy and every time that you hear Tim Gunn say “Make it work”, take a drink.

Tim Gunn’s Favorite Drink – The Manhattan

But the proof is there in two photos posted on PerezHilton.com: Victoria Beckham can smile! (Be sure to check out the results of the “Should Posh smile more?” quiz. Three guesses how we voted).  

Authorities are still unsure as to what caused David Beckham’s more be-bobbed half to crack a grin on not one but two occasions. Is it because the Spice Girls are breaking up (again)? Is it because Victoria’s Secret deemed her the World’s Sexiest Mom? Or is she just laughing at one of the Project Runway contestants while serving as judge for the finale?

To quote that early ’80s Tootsie Pop commercial where the little boy asks the owl, “How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?” . . .

“The world may never know.”

Breaking Beckham News: VICTORIA SMILES

In one corner, you have the Roger Clemens-Brian McNamee edition of Days of Our Lives. Adding to the overall “WTF?”-ness of the whole steroid shebang is the latest McNamee bombshell that he also injected the 7-time Cy Young winner’s wife Debbie Clemens with HGH.

But in another corner, thankfully, you have the Beckhams. They’re not embroiled in a steroid abuse scandal, they’re not licking their Super Bowl wounds as we imagine Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen are, and they aren’t having a pre-Pro Bowl PDA-fest in Hawaii like Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson. They’re just being their sexy selves.

And the world shows its gratitude: David just got a World’s Sexiest Footballer* title while Victoria “Posh Spice” got a World’s Sexiest Mom nod from Victoria’s Secret (and if they say something’s sexy, we believe ‘em) as well as a coveted Project Runway guest judge spot.

Now of course, it would be much more fun to cover the Beckhams if they did something naughty (publicly), but sometimes it’s just nice to enjoy the pretty people as they are.

*Um, obviously this doesn’t refer to American Football, or it would have been a tie with Tom Brady.

Thank Goodness for the Beckhams
