Kelly Osbourne Livid Over Kathy Griffin’s ‘Fashion Police’ Salary

New E! Fashion Police host Kathy Griffin’s “ridiculously high salary” is no laughing matter for one important member of the cast, RadarOnline.com can reveal exclusively.

Kelly Osbourne, 30, is “pissed,” according to an insider. “Kathy’s starting pay is considerably higher than she was granted.”

But the salary issue may be just the first Fashion Police faux pas that erupts between the two.

“Kathy and Kelly have never seen eye-to-eye on anything and it seems like there is going to be a lot of drama,” says the source.

As Radar reported, the 54-year-old redheaded comedienne has been getting a lot of backlash since the announcement that Melissa Rivers, 46, handpicked her to replace her mom, Joan Rivers, who passed away at 81-years-old after suffering deadly complications during surgery in September.

“People are tweeting Kathy things like, ‘You will never be Joan,’” a friend of Griffin’s told Radar.

Griffin will be joined by Osbourne, Giuliana Rancic, 40, and 37-year-old celebrity stylist, Brad Goreski, who is replacing George Kotsiopoulos, 46, when Fashion Police returns with Golden Globes coverage on Jan. 12.

Do you think that Kathy Griffin will make a good host for Fashion Police?

Chris Rock Shares Uncertainty Over Tracy Morgan’s Full Recovery

He’s been in the comedy game for decades and Chris Rock has made a lot of friends along his road to becoming a legend.

The “Down to Earth” star showed up at “The Howard Stern Show” today and gave an update on his close pal Tracy Morgan, who was almost-fatally injured in a car accident earlier this year.

Chris shared, “It’s day to day. You can be great for two weeks and then regress.” When Stern asked if Tracy will ever make a return to the stage, Rock replied, “I’m not sure. In some form. It’s sad because he’s one of the nicest guys you’re ever going to meet.”

And on the topic of Bill Cosby’s sexual assault nightmare, Chris explained, “I don’t know what happened, man. I can’t go one way or the other.”

K. Michelle Lives in Fear of Memphitz

In a recent interview singer K. Michelle admits she still lives in constant fear of her ex-boyfriend Memphitz Wright…

Before K. Michelle found success as a singer her claim to fame was spilling the tea about being abused by Toya Wright's husband Memphitz on the debut season of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta

In a recent interview promoting her new album K. admits she's still in fear of what Memphitz might do to her.

K tells The Fader "My ex is suing for defamation of character. I never said his name once on TV; I just talked about my story. And no, he didn't punch me. But I got dragged along the floor. I got a towel put over my face—not once, but twice. I blacked out to the point where I could've died. I was screaming down the hallway, 'Help me, he's trying to kill me.' But society's saying, oh, that doesn't matter because he didn't punch you. His family said that because I wasn't 'Rihanna-like,' it wasn't abuse. Abuse comes in all forms: physical, mental. And for me to have physical abuse happen, but for society to say it isn't to their standards—you know, for the women I'm fighting for, that lets me know how sick things are. It lets me know a lot of women are getting abused, but they think it's OK."

"……You know, I'm still scared of my ex. He told me he would never leave me alone. So I don't know if I'm going to wake up to him bashing me. I still have to go through a court case against the person that abused me. They allow him to sit and stare at me. Something has to happen for women and I'm going to keep fighting. It's sickening and disgusting."

Deion Sanders Cites Ex-Wife’s ‘Evil Motive’ Over Child Abuse Tweets—Demands $1 Million

NFL Hall of Famer Deion “Prime Time” Sanders has stopped his ex-wife from accusing him of child abuse on Twitter and Facebook — for now.

A temporary court order has silenced Pilar Sanders after she posted audio of his daughter saying her father “kicked” and “choked” one of his sons.

Pilar, 47, has “ill will, spite, evil motive and a purpose to cause substantial injury or harm” to her former husband, a defamation complaint filed by his lawyer claims.

The Texas judge who imposed the temporary order could be made permanent after a hearing Tuesday, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Pilar has very vocal about her anger toward 47-year-old Deion ever since he won full custody of the children in a bitter court battle. In one Facebook rant she posted last month, Pilar wrote: “Ripped them from me, alienating them from me and Abusing them…Now It’s My Divine Motherly Right to Keep Fighting until they are Safely with me, where they belong and have always been.”

However, the football star’s lawyer told Radar the audio Pilar broadcast is old and was already considered as part of the child custody trial.

Now Deion Sanders is demanding defamation damages up to $1 million from his ex-wife.

Neither Pilar nor her lawyer immediately responded to Radar’s request for comment.

Deion’s parenting skills to his 10-year-old daughter Shelomi and two sons Shilo, 14, and Shedeur, 12, are featured on the show Deion’s Family Playbook on OWN TV.

T.I. Flies In To Speak For Iggy Azalea Again

Iggy's boss/Grand Hustle leader hit the red carpet for the Power 106 Cali Christmas gave his take on how Iggy should handle the critics.

“There's not much she can do to stay away from it. She has to watch how she deals with it. We're not really in charge of what other people do. We're just in charge of how we react and respond to what other people do. So as long as she focused on what she does best, which is performing and being a superstar, she ain’t got nothing to worry about,” T.I. stated.

Well, since "Hip Hop Queen" Iggy said these problems have nothing to do with her, we guess she really doesn't have anything to worry about other than stacking cash from the very folks who have to be "worried about" these issues daily.

NeNe Leakes explains why Cynthia Bailey rift can’t be fixed

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” fans have witnessed the destruction and repair of more than one NeNe Leakes’ friendship, but the “Cinderella” star explained why things will never be the same between her and Cynthia Bailey.

“I say I will never be friends again with Cynthia again and I never will and this is the truth, but let me just explain that,” NeNe began on “Watch What Happens Live,” while sitting next to Kim Zolciak.

“RHOA” viewers, who have been around for a while, remember that NeNe and Kim had a historic argument that many thought marked the end of their relationship. However, the two are friends once again. They laughed and reminisced about old times with “WHHL” host Andy Cohen, but NeNe warned fans not to expect a reconciliation with her and Cynthia.

“Cynthia and my relationship was very different than my relationship with Kim. Cynthia and I talked all the time. We spent holidays together. We were at each other’s homes all the time. Kim and I weren’t like that. I wasn’t talking to him 10 or 7 times a day and I wasn’t in her house all the time like that,” said NeNe.

On a recent episode of “RHOA,” NeNe expressed that she was confused about what actually happened between her and Cynthia. NeNe previously apologized for referring to Cynthia’s husband as a “b*tch,” and she thought the ladies had handled that situation and moved on.

So, NeNe said Cynthia’s hostility toward her seems irrational.

“I feel like Cynthia is making it seem as if I’ve really done something to her,” NeNe said. “When I watch the show, I’m thinking, ‘Did I do something so horrible for someone that you have been really, good friends with? Did I do something so horrible to her?”

In a preview for an upcoming episode, Cynthia seems willing to work on the friendship, but her “WWHL” comments suggest isn’t interested. Though she and Kim agree that time healed their wounds, it remains to be seen if the same is true for NeNe and Cynthia.
