'Fashion Police' News: E! Eyes Khloe Kardashian and Nene Leakes to Take Kelly Osbourne's Place
E!'s "Fashion Police" is mulling between the choice of Khloe Kardashian or Nene Leakes to replace Kelly Osbourne, who resigned from the show a few days ago.
Osbourne announced her decision to quit "Fashion Police" following fellow host Giuliana Rancic's racist comments about her friend, actress Zendaya Coleman's dreadlocks during a post-Oscars telecast. E! has narrowed down her replacements to Kardashian sister, Khloe and "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" reality actress, Nene Leakes.
"Fashion Police" popularity has taken a nose-dive since the death of its lead host, Joan Rivers in September last year. Comedian Kathy Griffin took over Rivers' post in December, and was joined by Brad Goreski, who replaced George Kotsiopoulos shortly after.

According to rumors, Leakes was a close runner-up for Rivers' position before it was given to Griffin, while the third Kardashian sister was previously given the slot but turned it down pending what US Weekly is referring to as "the right incentive" from E!
"She [Kardashian] may consider doing it again but the offer would have to be really high," a source told Us Weekly. "It's a lot of extra work for her."
Meanwhile, Leakes, who once appeared as a guest co-host in "Fashion Police" in 2013, has been vocal about her intentions to leave "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" for the last two seasons.
With Kelly Osbourne's departure from the show, the slot remains open for either Kardashian or Leakes to fill. According to E!, "Fashion Police" will be returning on March 30, Friday at 9 p.m. with a new episode, and may introduce Osbourne's replacement then.
