Scratching our heads, we give you to Exhibit B: this photo, taken the very same evening, of Tim getting friendly with glass closet princess Anderson Cooper at a charity event. (Also pictured, John Bartlett and Simon Doonan, click to enlarge.)



If we had to guess, Anderson probably represents the sort of dream date that just might bring Tim out of his tower of celibacy for one last go at the love game. So sure, it's conjecture, but perhaps Tim was trying to drink off his sorrow at having no shot at Anderson (because he seems to go for younger guys) and had no patience for small talk with fans on Thursday evening.








Then! miracle of miracles, this little outtake clip ascended about the blogosphere like a Tim Gunn from the ashes, in which Tim is shown doing a modelicious walk-off with likely Project Runway winner Christian Siriano on the roof of that Atlas condominium building where they shot parts of the show. In the clip, chided for his walk's decided un-fierceness, our polysyllabic minstrel finds himself suddenly at a loss for words, and at the mercy of Heidi Klum's bizarre tickle torture. Leave it to Heidi to tickle those blues away!
