The beginning of the end for Fashion Police

With the sudden loss of Joan Rivers came so much rumor and speculation as to the fate of her Fashion Police. As a long time fan of Joan Rivers I was devastated with her passing but at the same time I wanted "the show to go on." I was cool with Kathy Griffin taking over as host but confused with George Kotsiopoulos' mysterious departure. I'm starting to enjoy Brad Goreski and once again (totally) confused with the latest news that Kelly Osbourne has quit Fashion Police. Could this be the beginning of the end? 

In a statement from E! News the reason given for Kelly's decision to leave the show was because she wanted to "pursue other opportunities." Yeah, yeah - generic, damage control rhetoric.

Perhaps these are just growing pains as Fashion Police re-finds itself? Perhaps an entirely new cast is what's needed? (I apply for the job!) I don't want to see Fashion Police go away so I hope they figure it out soon.

The New FASHION POLICE with Kathy Griffin

Joan Rivers' legacy lives on Monday night when the E! Network premieres the first Fashion Police after the untimely passing of its iconic and beloved host. Kathy Griffin was the obvious choice for the show and while's there's no replacing the late, great Joan Rivers, Kathy, I believe, will do quite well. C'mom, the bitch can work a pair of Loubs and has a sharp tongue - prerequisites for the job, surely. She'll be fine. And in the spirit of change and newness, stylist (and cutie-pie) George Kotsiopoulos has been replaced by flaming stylist & IG #selfie queen Brad Goreski. There hasn't been an official statement about George's departure from the show so I'm not going to speculate. I do know he is a very busy boy... and talented. I have a good feeling we'll be seeing lots of him in 2015! 

*Tune to E! on Monday for a Golden Globes Fashion Police Red Carpet Recap at 9PM. Best wishes to the new team, Giuliana, Kelly and Melissa Rivers! I'll be watching & tweeting.

JOAN RIVERS "Can we talk..."

Joan Rivers

Joan Rivers stood up from her seat in between tapings of Fashion Police during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York and looked over at the crowd beneath her at Lincoln Center. She was taking in the moment. Both arms perched on the railing. I was looking up. Suddenly, our eyes locked. I was looking at her and she at me. Joan smiled, as did I and then she walked away. That's the closest I've come to meeting Joan Rivers. I've been a fan since the days she used to joke about being "so ugly at birth, her doctor slapped her mother." That's a long time ago. I'm a huge fan and will miss Joan Rivers tremendously. My heart goes out to her daughter Melissa, her family and E! News friends.

In Bed with Joan & George

Fans of Joan Rivers, Fashion Police fans and George Kotsiopoulos fans, YOU MUST. Watch. This. 

In Bed With Joan is a (duh) funny, uncensored and very candid web series by the queen of comedy & couture herself, Joan Rivers. Of course, Joan is a top. George was so fabulous and real. He appeared to be very genuine and sincere which only made him more adorable and likable. [And Joan, in the very remote chance you will even see this, just know I've been a fan since the 5th grade. xo]
