Fashion Police to Continue after Joan Rivers’ Death
American Broadcasting network, E! has decided to continue airing continuing Fashion Police despite Joan Rivers’ death earlier this month.
The program, which debuted in September 2010 as a platform to critique celebrities fashion choices, will return to the network in time to cover the Golden Globes awards on January 12, 2015.
The show which involves co-hosts Giuliana Rancic, Kelly Osbourne and George Kotsiopoulos, will likely see the addition of Joan Rivers’ daughter and Fashion Police executive producer Melissa Rivers to the host panel.
E! said in a statement issued on Friday: “We are deeply saddened by the loss of Joan Rivers and, for the last two weeks, have turned our attention to honoring her memory on all of our platforms. We have also thought long and hard about what Joan would have wanted as it pertains to the future of Fashion Police.
“We decided, with Melissa Rivers’ blessing, that Joan would have wanted the franchise to continue. Fashion Police will return in 2015 commencing with Golden Globes coverage on Monday, January 12. No further details will be announced at this time.”
Joan Rivers died at 81 on September 4 in New York following a cardiac arrest during a throat procedure.
