If you are truly a fashionista you are most likely familiar
with the TV show Fashion Police on E!.
You are also probably aware that Kathy Griffin has recently replaced the late
& great Joan Rivers. So, the question that we are now facing is, “will the
show be successful with its new host & cast?”
Kathy has inherited the title, but will she adequately fill
Joan’s shoes? In all honesty, our verdict is still out. Just curious as to
your opinion.
The new Fashion Police With Kathy Griffin was brand new
starting Monday January 12, 2015. The day after the 72nd Golden
Globe Awards so that there was plenty of issues available to discuss. The new
fashion panel show is back with new hosts Kathy Griffin, Brad Goreski, Kelly
Osbourne and Giuliana Rancic. Off the roster is obviously Joan Rivers and Brad
Goreski.
Fashion Police is an American television series airing on E!.
The series became a weekly program on September 10, 2010 where the hosts
discuss the dos and don'ts of celebrity fashion. Kathy opened the new version
of the show with a quick, sweet moment for Joan by staying, "I just want to
thank my good friend, who we all miss, Joan Rivers. Of course. So Joan, I know
you're watching from heaven but don't get it twisted. I will not be afraid to
bring the hammer down on anyone and everyone. I learned from the best." The
previous version of the show often had celebrity hosts such as Khloé Kardashian,
Ryan Lochte, Jay Manuel, Nicki Minaj, NeNe Leakes, Aubrey O'Day, Ali Fedotowsky,
Snooki, Ciara, Chanel Iman, Melanie Brown, Tori Spelling, Zendaya, Kimora Lee
Simmons, Chelsea Kane, Tara Reid, Bonnie McKee, Jaime Pressly, Tiffani Thiessen,
Mischa Barton, Kylie Minogue, and Joan's daughter Melissa Rivers. We assume
that the new version of the Fashion Police show will also utilize famous celebs
as guest hosts.
By the way, the term fashion police existed prior to the
show. Essentially fashion police is defined as a term for people who
are considered experts in dressing well who comment on the clothing of others.
If you are interested in reading an alternate definition that is not in regard
specifically to the show on E!, you can read the fashion
police term on Apparel Search.
About Kathy Griffin
Comedian Kathy Griffin is joining the cast of Fashion Police
beginning in 2015. Born in Chicago in 1960, Kathy Griffin's career as an
entertainer began in 1980. In the 1990s, Griffin began performing as a standup
comedian and also appeared as a guest star on several television shows (such as
her notable Seinfeld guest-appearance in the episode The Doll). She achieved
recognition in a supporting role on the NBC sitcom Suddenly Susan (1996–2000).
Her breakthrough came on the Bravo reality show Kathy Griffin: My Life on the
D-List (2005–2010), which became a ratings hit for the network and earned her
two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Reality Program. Griffin also previously hosted
the talk show Kathy. Griffin had previously made an appearance as a guest-host
on Fashion Police in 2013.
About Giuliana Rancic
Giuliana dePandi, as a young girl moved from her hometown in
Naples, Italy, to the United States. She earned a degree in journalism from the
University of Maryland and eventually a master's degree in journalism from
American University. After several television hosting jobs, including co-host

co-host on Fashion Police, Rancic offers her fresh, trendy take on current
fashion. Along with her co-host position on Fashion Police, Rancic also stars
in her reality TV series, Giuliana and Bill, that depicts family and career life
of both spouses.
About Kelly Osbourne
Kelly Osbourne is the daughter of famous musician Ozzy
Osbourne (yes, Apparel Search is a huge fan of Ozzy). In the early 2000s, the
MTV reality show The Osbournes brought Kelly and her family to the spotlight and
came with both television and fashion opportunities. In 2009 she got engaged
to male model Luke Worrall and that same year is well known for her addition to
season 9 of Dancing with the Stars, where she took third runner-up. Osboune’s
addition to Fashion Police is featured on her official website,
kellyosbourne.com. Her eclectic style and unique variety of clothes offers each
episode a different take on fashion. Osbourne most often disagreed with Rivers,
giving the show a more balanced representation of opinions.
About Brad Goreski
Celebrity fashion stylist and TV personality Brad Goreski is
joining the cast of Fashion Police beginning in January 2015. As a stylist his
clients have included Jessica Alba, Demi Moore, Christina Ricci, Rashida Jones,
and Minka Kelly. He is also the star of the TV series It's a Brad, Brad
World.
About Joan Rivers
In 1989, she had aired her own daytime talk show, and the
next year won an Emmy Award and earned her place on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
By 1996, she was hosting the series, Live from the Red Carpet, on E! Network,
which lead to her to the co-host position on 'Fashion Police'. River’s special
brand of critical humor and biting cleverness not only boosted ratings of
Fashion Police, but also the ratings of E! News itself. Episodes typically
include River’s take on a recent celebrity outfit choice, where her opinion is
the dominant point of view of the show. River’s position as host of the show
gives her an authority presence on fashion critique and acceptable ways to
dress. Although infamous for her negative statements about other’s wardrobe,
Rivers has an equal history of complimenting celebrity style as well as making
fun of her own choices. On September 4, 2014, Rivers died at age 81 of cardiac
arrest. On September 22, 2014, the premiere of “Joan Day” hit a record of 1.1
million viewers. Episodes of River’s best, funniest, most-watched jokes aired
from 7am-7pm, including a special 90-minute commemorative
episode.

consultant. In 2011, Kostiopoulos was featured in the 17th edition of OUT
Magazine as one of the top 100 most influential gay men and women. He joined
the cast of Fashion Police in 2010 as a regular co-host. Kostiopoulos commented
well on the niche of men’s fashion. Kotsiopoulos offered fashion advice for

The "Fashion Police" debates the appearance of Hollywood's
stars and duds. This includes fashion spotted on the red carpet, in movies, on
the street, etc. Are they doing a good job at reporting the news and giving
good guidance regarding the do’s and don’ts in regard to style and
fashion.
Do you think that Kathy Griffin is a good replacement for
Joan Rivers? Possibly, it is too early to tell. Maybe we should wait a few
more episodes before making any sort of judgment.
