Future of E! Fashion Police Uncertain, 2nd Host Leaves Show

All is not rosy at all, seems like my fav tv prog(when Joan Rivers was host), is falling apart like a pack of cards. Kathy Griffin is the 2nd host, after Kelly Osbourne, to abandon the show, in the wake of Guiliana's gaffe.

Last month, during the Oscar's edition of Fashion Police presenter Giuliana Rancic commented on singer Zendaya's dreadlocks commenting “I feel like she smells like patchouli oil and weed”.
In the ensuing media storm Kelly Osbourne, who has been a presenter on the show for five years, quit the programme and today the show's main host Kathy Griffin also announced her departure.
Griffin explained in a length note on Twitter: "After 7 episodes of Fashion Police, I discovered that my style doesn't fit with the creative direction of the show."

The American TV series, which first launched in 2010, has struggled for direction since the sudden death of its iconic presenter Joan Rivers in September last year.

At the time it was unclear whether the show would go on without Rivers who many considered to be irreplaceable. Rancic explained to ABC:

"A part of me is like Joan would want Melissa [Rivers] and us and the team to go on and I know she would, but it's just a matter of can there be a show without Joan? Do we want to do a Fashion Police without Joan? I don't know."

Although various names are rumoured to be in talks to take Osbourne's place including Khloe Kardashian and Chrissy Teigan, now with another empty slot and the aftermath of the race row, the shows future seems more uncertain than ever.
The official line from E! is that the programme will continue with the next episode schedule for 30 March and hosts Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski still on board.
