Thanks for explaining what I really did not understand about Giuliana's comment. I can see how many people did not like it, although I still think after the apology they should return to be the group Joan made so successful.
Also, thanks for explaining that the show wasn't cancelled but somehow not airing as regularly as before... too bad, the one thing I noticed with Joan was she had a long stretch of the show even when all the others were closing for spring break and not returning till fall, she was there all the time, so it seemed to me.
The what color is this dress shows me that the world is going a bit banana, some things I just cannot understand.
Now, the news that the 'fake pearls' dress was left behind by the thief was something I appreciated hearing. The designer must be in hiding at the moment.

I would rather see Khloe than Nene or Amber Rose also.

I can't believe the whole dust-up over Guiliana's comment... I think everyone overreacted to what was meant to be a simple comment... PC police indeed. Nobody can say anything without offending someone.
I was talking to my sister about this and I wonder if this is just the beginning of people getting outraged by comments from the Fashion Police cast and the cast having to apologize for their comments. Seems like when it was Joan saying the outrageous things she was given a pass because she WAS a comedienne. I think people understood that.
With the exception of Kathie, the others should knock off telling jokes because it comes across as snarky... Plus they are just not that funny.
Please... leave the jokes to the professional!
I have to say that I am really enjoying hearing what Brad has to say about the various fashions on the show, I like his inside info that he dispenses... it seems like he's taking his role on the show seriously. Something Kelly or Guiliana can't say. (I still get steamed when I think about them laughing at him last week for his pronunciation of a designer!!)

I thought them laughing at him was kind of funny and I don't think he took it as anything but good-natured teasing. He should have just told them that he was friends with the designer and that was how the individual pronounced his own name...LOL!

I liked the new show and thought it'd really be good next season once everyone got in the groove. Now with the tiresome PC outrage, the new group will be neutered.

I'm watching Ru Paul's Dragrace and Kathy is a judge, along with Ross Matthews and Carson Cressley
I think Ross or Carson would be a good replacement for Kelly.

Guess Kathy refuses to be neutered! Good for her.
I hope Zendaya is happy about the furor she created over a bit of fake hair.

Probably won't watch. Really can't stand Melissa, especially after I watched her behavior on Celebrity Apprentice.
I think Zendaya had a right to stand up for herself. She has an image to protect.

I don't think Zendaya created the furor............that would have been Guiliana who had no business using that line.

Or E! whose writers wrote the line in the first place...but Guiliana should have edited herself (although from what I have read it was editing that caused the furor in the first place).

Dont blame Kathy. Look at all the politically correct nonsense over what Guiliana said. As I stated above, how can Kathy be funny and spontaneous if she has to run every little thing she might say past a group of lawyers, activist or whoever. The show has been neutered.

Roxip, Joan and Melissa were the reason we stopped watching Celebrity Apprentice, too. That and Trump himself. That man is insufferable. What an ego! Ugh.
I thought what Giuliana said about Zendaya was totally racist. The writers were implying that all people with dreadlocks smell like pachouli oil and weed?
The whole concept of this show is just wrong. It's not about fashion, it's about belittling and making fun of people for not living up to somebody's standards of what's appropriate style. It's always made me very uncomfortable, even when Joan was on. This show is on its last legs. It should just be canceled before it gets even worse.

I thought the show wasn't enjoyable because of the coarseness and belittlement that went on. Babyj, I too just wanted a mature look at the Red Carpet fashions and not nastiness.

Ditto OG.. too. But I enjoyed seeing Joan sporting those great looking jackets and thinking she was 80 yrs old!!! Wow! I also enjoyed George's critique and now the new chap Brad, I'm glad Kathy is gone and so is Kelly... but really, this show should have died with Joan.
Get a totally different show with 'real' fashion critics.

At this point, they should just cancel the show and move onto something else.

Whatever happened to people in the public eye having "tough skins"? I can remember watching the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts back in the 70's-80's and some of the things they said about/to one another were pretty sharp. No one took grave offense, they all laughed.
Celebs seem to have lost their sense of humor and are far too easily offended by things (that's the general scheme of things, period anymore). People are no longer entitled to their own opinion, they must be a lemming, following the other lemmings right off the cliff of political correctness.

I've never enjoyed that kind of humor. Never got Don Rickles either. I was taught that if your "joke" disparages someone else (especially in a mean way), it's just not funny.

I just saw on yahoo.com that "E" has put Fashion Police on hiatus. They are going to recast and reformat. (Sorry I didn't bring the link but I have to get back to work!)

Melissa Rivers is making comments saying that Kathy Griffin "sh## on her mother's legacy".
I understand how close Melissa was to her mother and how hard this past year has been but I also think her anger is misplaced.
Kathy is not responsible for her mother's death and I don't agree that she is responsible for what has happened on Fashion Police. She realized the show wasn't a good fit for her and chose to leave.
I suggest Melissa take time off to not only mourn but to also get the therapy needed to realize she can't continue to live off of her mother's talents.
