Her name is Terri, she's 39, a Columbia College grad from Chicago, and she loves Karl Lagerfeld. She'll be competing against people with names such as Blayne, Korto and Suede to win the fifth season of "Project Runway," starting at 8 p.m. Wednesday on Bravo.

Terri is a freelance designer who favors just what you see her wearing above: low-waist, bell-cut black pants. She is, of course, "working on my own fashion line." Looks like her fashion sense might bring some funk to the show while others bring only noise ...

With a bruised forehead, Stephen Colbert has found a new cause celebre: fighting the glamorization of ‘‘face violence.’’

As he did after breaking his wrist last year, Colbert has transformed a real-life injury into a mock crusade. Colbert was injured Saturday, and while he’s been cagey about the cause, he’s made no attempt to hide the scarring between his eyebrows this week on ‘‘The Colbert Report.’’

Does every J.J. Abrams TV series about scary science have to begin with a plane crash?

In this new trailer for "Fringe," Abrams' new series scheduled this fall on Fox, the action begins when — as a plane is careening out of the sky — one of the passengers injects himself with something that ... well, let's say death by the actual crash probably would have been preferred by most passengers. And if you like that syringe scene, you're in luck because the trailer contains about a dozen more needle pricks. Eeuuuw!

Is anyone else as bored and disillusioned as I am by this leaden final season of Sci Fi's "Battlestar Galactica"?

It pains me to write such things, given how the show's first two seasons were so exciting and refreshing. But after Season Three's confusing ending (Tyrol's a Cylon? So why no fuss about his baby?), this fourth and final season has been one long, bleak dud, lacking the common-cause heroism and universal Odyssean storyline that made this retooled drama so compelling.

Enjoy this sneak peek at the upcoming reality trash of the summer: the show chronicling the maternal crusades of Lindsay Lohan's bleached, tanned mother.

A clip reel from the current debut season of MTV's "The Paper."

Docu-reality series are everywhere these days, but good ones — not just fun to gawk at, but dramatic on their own — are depressingly hard to come by. Most often, the characters are either unreal from the start, or far too real. They mug for the camera like so many ‘‘real housewives.’’ They angle to make the most of mild celebrity, like those too-many Kardashians. Or they’re so dull as to be hardly worth the screen time: Even ‘‘Jon & Kate Plus 8,’’ the should-be-fascinating Discovery Health/TLC series about a family with twins and sextuplets, gets bogged down in the details of shelf-hanging and carpet replacement.

Capturing life in high school, you’d think, would be the hardest task of all: How can reality in the homogenized suburbs live up to the angst and pathos of snarky screenplays or overwrought teen TV dramas? Perhaps by happy accident, MTV has figured it out.

A sneak peek at tonight's return of Britney Spears to the sitcom "How I Met Your Mother," from CBS.

Three times might be the charm for Britney Spears and ‘‘How I Met Your Mother.’’

With Spears making her second guest appearance on the popular CBS comedy, the show’s co-creator Craig Thomas says tonight's episode was written to leave the door open for the pop singer to make a return appearance next season.
