(Newser) – Jennifer Lopez abruptly canceled her guest judging appearance on Friday's Project Runway finale because of an alleged foot injury, but she regained her footing awfully fast, MSNBC reports. The singer-actress turned around and completed her much-hyped first triathlon yesterday in less than 2½ hours, and Runway host Heidi Klum is furious.

"Heidi went from one big-name judge for the finale to none," said a source. “It was embarrassing."
