Hosts[edit]

Joan Rivers[edit]

On June 8, 1933, Joan Alexandra Molinsky, known as Joan Rivers, was born in Brooklyn, New York.[1] She was born to Russian immigrant parents and grew up in the suburbs of New York where she spent her early life performing, acting, and eventually pursuing stand-up comedy. [1]In 1965, the booking of guest appearance on, The Tonight Show Starring Jonny Carson, was River's big break to her comedy career and launched the platform for her success in the TV industry. After two decades of guest starring and regular TV appearances, in 1986 Rivers received a 10 million dollar contract for The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers on Fox Network.[1] Rivers left Fox just one year after the show aired, claiming to have had conflicts with NBC, rather than the infuriated Jonny Carson. From there, she experienced both professional and personal setbacks. Her TV show was cancelled, ratings fell, and husband of 22 years, Edgar Rosenberg, committed suicide.[1] Rivers moved back to New York where she relied on comedy to cope with her losses. She was even heard joking to a group of grief stricken widows, "One, I don't live in Bosnia. Two, I never dated O.J."[2] In 1989, she had aired her own daytime talk show, and the next year won an Emmy Award and earned her place on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. By 1996, she was hosting the series, Live from the Red Carpet, on E! Network, which lead to her to the co-host position on Fashion Police. On September 14, 2014, Rivers died at age 81 of cardiac arrest.[2]River's daughter, Melissa, confirmed the death as well as announced the decision of a replacement host and the continuation of Fashion Police for the 2015 Golden Globes.[3]

Giuliana Rancic[edit]

Born in 1974, as a young girl Giuliana Rancic moved from her small hometown in Naples, Italy, to the United States.[4] She earned a degree in journalism from the University of Maryland and eventually a master's degree in journalism from American University.[4] After several television hosting jobs, including co-host of two Miss USA pageants, her addition as the solo host to E! News in 2005 caused a 50% increase in series ratings.[4] Just one year later, she announced the engagement to Bill Rancic, and they were married in September of 2007.[5] (people) In 2011, an interview with, Today, revealed Rancic's diagnosis of early stage breast cancer, where it was later announced she would undergo a double lumpectomy.[6] Along with her co-host position for Fashion Police, Rancic also stars in her reality TV series, Giuliana and Bill, that depicts family and career life of both spouses.

Kelly Osbourne[edit]

On October 27, 1984, Kelly Osbourne was born in London, England as the daughter of famous musician, Ozzy Osbourne.[7] Her early life included emotional ups and downs with her father's sobriety battles. The influence eventually took hold of her, as she was found a regular at Los Angeles nightclubs at just 15 years old. In the early 2000's, the MTV reality show, The Osbournes, brought Kelly and her family to the spotlight and came with both television and fashion opportunities.[7] After the fame of the show declined, Osbourne began to slump into her father's addictions of alcohol and drugs. The worst of these dependences were painkillers, specifically Vicodin. In 2006, she checked herself into rehab and continued battling spurts of sobriety and addiction. In 2009 she got engaged to male model, Luke Worrall, and that same year is well known for her addition to season 9 of, Dancing with the Stars, where she took third runner-up.[7][8]
