No promises by Giuliana Rancic to return to ‘Fashion Police’
NEW YORK (AP) — Giuliana Rancic isn’t making any promises that she’ll return to “Fashion Police” in the fall.
The E! Entertainment personality appeared on the “Today” show Monday to plug her new book, “Going Off Script.”
And she also seemed to go off-script at the interview’s conclusion, when host Savannah Guthrie asked if Rancic “will be there” when “Fashion Police” airs again in September.
Hedging, Rancic said only, “We’ll see.”
The show, formerly hosted by the late Joan Rivers, has recently been in turmoil with the abrupt departures of panelist Kelly Osbourne and new host Kathy Griffin.
Before that, Rancic took heat for a wisecrack about actress Zendaya’s dreadlocks that some viewers, including the actress-singer, deemed racist.
But Rancic repeated her explanation that the joke was misinterpreted after editing removed the context.
