"Fashion Police" is back - with a new addition to the panel of hosts - kicking off the 2016 award season by doing what they do best: sharing honest opinions on the many glamorous red carpet looks from last night's Golden Globe Awards.
Giuliana Rancic, Brad Goreski and Melissa Rivers will be joined by Margaret Cho, who has appeared on the show as a guest before and was brought on by E! as a special "Fashion Police" co-host for the 2016 season back in December, as HNGN previously reported. The four will be reporting on the biggest fashion moments from the event and commenting on who they think was the best and worst dressed of the night.
"I love joining the crew of 'Fashion Police.' To me it feels like family," said Cho. "Although I am not quite a fashionista, I would love to look at it like I am changing it up - 'Fashion Police: Special Victims Unit.' It makes me happiest to spend time with Melissa, and when I see her laugh at my joke, I feel like Joan [Rivers] is smiling somewhere."
Melissa took over the show after her mother Joan passed away in September 2014. She has been trying to pick up the pieces and keep the show together, all while channeling her mom's brutally honest, yet lovable, spirit. The panel also used to feature Kelly Osbourne and George Kotsiopoulos, but they both left shortly after Joan passed away.
"New Year, new show!" Melissa tweeted earlier today, alongside a photo of her and Cho. "The good and the bad tonight on 'Fashion Police Golden Globes Special.'"
This season on "Fashion Police," there will be a guest chair in which a different celebrity will sit and offer their opinions. NeNe Leakes will be tonight's special guest, according to Bravo.
Apparently, the E! network paid some pretty big bucks to book the 48-year-old "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star either way, though.
"NeNe is being paid tens of thousands per episode for her new role on 'Fashion Police,'" a source told Radar. "This is the first time ever the 'Fashion Police' will have five panelists at the same time."
While it is still unclear if Leakes will be a recurring host, or if she will only be on the Golden Globes special, the source did say that "everyone is hoping" she is being considered for a full-time panel position.
"They want to see how well she does in terms of numbers and ratings before offering her a full-time contract," adde the source. "But if they see a dramatic increase in numbers for this upcoming episode, then she will most likely be given the gig full-time."
The official "Fashion Police" Instagram gave a sneak peek at some of their favorite looks from the Golden Globes last night, so we have an idea what we're in store for on tonight's episode. They gave specific shout outs to their very own Giuliana Rancic and then Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Tune into the Golden Globes special of "Fashion Police" tonight on E! at 8 p.m. ET.
