There has been nothing but turmoil behind the scenes at E!'s Fashion Police. First there was Giuliana Rancic's comment about Zendaya Coleman's hair that spawned backlash even after she apologized, and then it looked like the network was seriously considering whether or not to give its star her walking papers. When that did not happen, Kelly Osbourne made good on her threats and officially quit Fashion Police. Now producers are scrambling to fill the open seat on the panel, and a few names seem to be in the running for the gig. Just a few short months ago, the network hired Kathy Griffin to fill the spot once occupied by the late Joan Rivers, and the short list of potential replacements is the same now. NeNe Leakes and Khloé Kardashian are strong contenders and the final decision really could go either way. Leakes is considered the star on The Real Housewives of Atlanta and has absolutely no problem making her opinions loudly known.
Kardashian would probably be honest but quite a bit kinder than Leakes. Her mother Kris Jenner also just brokered a crazy deal with E! for the entire family. Adding Kardashian to the Fashion Police roster would almost make too much sense, according to Hollywood Life, and then her appearance on that show as well as whatever Kardashian reality show is airing would serve as built-in cross promotion. Sources are saying that adding another show into her schedule would mean a lot more work for Kardashian, so if an offer is placed on the table it would have to be pretty sizable.
Now that Osbourne has packed up and left, who do you think would be the best replacement? Would you like to see Leakes thrown into the mix, or should producers go with the younger, probably cooler Kardashian? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below.
