Kelly Osbourne was not exactly best friends with Joan Rivers — in fact, the two actually clashed quite a bit — but that does not mean Osbourne did not have respect for her Fashion Police costar. In fact, when she found out that Melissa Rivers has handpicked Kathy Griffin to replace Joan on Fashion Police, Osbourne made her dissatisfaction abundantly clear to everyone within earshot.
According to a report by Radar Online, Osbourne also flipped when she found out what Griffin's starting salary on the show will be. Apparently, it is considerably more than what Osbourne started out with, and that is just one more reason for her to be ticked off. It is not like Griffin and Osbourne have ever seen eye to eye anyway, but these issues are only adding fuel to the fire.
Melissa has firmly backed up her decision to have Griffin join the cast in time for the Golden Globes in January, primarily because she was good friends with Joan. Melissa believes her mother would approve of Griffin joining the show, so nothing is going to change her mind — not even the generalized backlash from Joan's fans who are having a hard time accepting anyone taking over her seat on the show.
It looks like Griffin is going to have a bit of a battle if she wants to make this stint on Fashion Police a solid thing.
Do you think she will be able to win over audiences and do well enough to have even Osbourne go easy on her, or will this job be short-lived because Melissa will realize that it is in everyone's best interest to pull the plug on the show altogether?
