Every celebrity quit the show. Now the show has been cancelled.

We’re over watching people be nasty on our TVs. This just about proves it.

E! Online’s show Fashion Police has been dealt a series of blows this year from its panelists. And now it’s taking a hiatus.

It began with co-host Giuliana Rancic’s comments about Zendaya’s dreadlocks at the Oscars, saying that the 17-year-old’s hair made her look like she “smelled of patchouli oil… or weed.”

Zendaya reacted fairly appropriately: She got mad. Obviously.

The comments were called out for being “ignorant slurs”, causing Giuliana to make a hasty backtrack and say that the calls were “misinterpreted.”

Kelly Osbourne, a long-time friend of Zendaya, decided to leave Fashion Police during the controversy, followed soon after by Kathy Griffin.

Kathy said that “After seven episodes of Fashion Police, I discovered that my style does not fit with the creative direction of the show and now it’s time to move on.”

Because that ‘style’ is apparently insensitive name-calling. And the hosts, as well as its viewers, are pretty much over it.

The shows producers will reconvene in September to see whether Fashion Police has a future.

Kathy followed Kelly’s example.

They had this to say about the decision: “We look forward to taking this opportunity to refresh the show before the next awards season. Our talented co-hosts Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski, along with executive producer Melissa Rivers, will continue their roles as we evolve the show into its next chapter for the legions of Fashion Police fans around the world.”

But aren’t we over the catty behaviour? The public scrutiny?

It might be time to step away from the naughty and play nice next season.

Will you miss Fashion Police?
