New 'Fashion Police' Host Announced: Melissa Rivers

Drumroll… probably the most obvious choice… Melissa Rivers.

Yes, the daughter of the late Joan Rivers (and executive producer) of the show 'Fashion Police' has been announced as the new host, replacing Joan, replacing Kathy Griffin. Kathy came on board as the new host after Joan's death. She later left, as did Kelly Osbourne.

Bruce Jenner as Caitlyn Jenner: Vanity Fair Cover

Meet Caitlyn Jenner.

Formerly Bruce Jenner, The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, who first confirmed just last month that she is transitioning into a woman, has landed a cover of Vanity Fair, which Annie Leibovitz shot.

Jenner is also profiled in the magazine, her first print interview and photo shoot since going public.

Here is the video on the shoot:

     

    When Kourtney asked if he would just have to "pick a day" to start living the rest of his life as the woman he's always felt himself to be, Caitlyn replied, "I think that [living as a man] would be hard after you do enough stuff, it gets harder and harder to play the other side."

Kim Kardashian revealed to Access Hollywood earlier this month that she had "just recently met her" and that it was an "amazing" experience. "She looked beautiful."

"She was dressed up: beautiful makeup, beautiful hair," Kim said, calling Caitlyn "very, very beautiful." Seeing Caitlyn as a woman "felt really natural," she added.

When Caitlyn broke the news to each of her children individually on a two-part Keeping Up With the Kardashians special that aired in May, "Everyone in the family has such a different emotion," said Kim. "We all get back to acceptance and everyone supports him, but it's OK to have every emotion. There is this sense of death that people around feel, and he understands that, but he's not going anywhere. Sometimes [Kendall] and [Kylie] get emotional over that and feel like their dad's gone, but they understand that they've gained someone else that is the same person, although a little bit different."

According to Kim, "It's just a new chapter."

Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder Wedding Day: PHOTO

In wedding news just in, Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder just got married.

The 36 year old 'Vampire Diaries' star and the 26 year old 'Twilight' actress got married Sunday (US time) at sunset in Santa Monica, California, E! News has confirmed.

In a loving gesture, E! News can confirm that in lieu of gifts, wedding guests were asked to donate to the newlywed's animal rescue charity.

The couple's wedding day has come only nine months after they first started dating and almost four months after they got engaged.

Bruce Jenner Talks Family to Diane Sawyer: 'I Can’t Let Myself Hurt Them': VIDEO

In a new video, Bruce Jenner talks about his family to Diane Sawyer. In the new trailer, he says: "I can’t let myself hurt them."

Bruce Jenner: The Interview is set to air on Friday, April 24, at 9 p.m. ET. in the US. The Australian screen date is TBA (but it likely to follow soon after).

Giuliana Rancic: "I Know I'm Too Thin"

I've got to say, each time Giuliana Rancic posts some happy news online, or is lovely enough to share a beautiful photo of her son, it upsets me to see all the nasty comments people on social media write about her weight. No acknowledgement of the happy snap - just mean, mean comments about looking 'disgusting' and 'eat a sandwich!'

And so, I think it's a a great move for Giuliana to speak up and reveal why she is so slender.

Finally, this might silence critics.

Here is Giuliana on her recent trip to Australia for the ASTRAs (photo, PEOPLE magazine):

As reported in PEOPLE magazine, for months, she has stayed quiet on the subject of her body, but now she says the firestorm of attention has "gotten out of hand," is she is finally speaking out. 

The E! News anchor's slim appearance at the January 11 Golden Globes again elicited social media suggestions she has an eating disorder.

"Some people were saying, 'The cancer is probably back,' " Rancic, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011 and underwent a double mastectomy that year, tells PEOPLE.

"And they were accusing me of every eating disorder. I thought to myself, 'God, if someone really thought I had an eating disorder, what a horrible way to approach it.' " 

Giuliana, 40, is cancer-free, though she says the cancer-suppressing medication she has been taking since 2012 has had an effect on her body. 

"I started noticing that I was eating a lot, but not gaining weight at all," Rancic says. "I was concerned." Her oncologist informed her that the drug, which can alter metabolism, could cause weight loss. 

"It's really hurtful," says Giuiliana of the attention, adding that she had hoped criticism about her appearance would quiet down on its own. "I'm sorry that some people think I'm disgustingly skinny, as they put it, but there's nothing I can do. I'm lucky that I even have the type of cancer that reacts to the medicine." 

When it comes to her appetite, "I eat more than any of my friends," she says. "I eat a very robust, healthy, balanced diet and dessert almost every night. I'm not hiding from anything." 
"I look in the mirror and it's hard for me," she admits. "I am really thin. I want to look fit and beautiful and sexy, and I can't." 

Giuliana's memoir Going Off Script will hits shelves on April 7 an she is speaking out now in the hope the tide will turn. 

"I never want my weight to distract people from what I do," she says. "But it is becoming a distraction, [whenever] I wear something sleeveless, show my arms, my back." 

In fact, she reveals that a major publication was interested in featuring her but backed out, telling her she was "too skinny." 

"That was really hurtful," she says. "I thought, 'Wow, I'm on cancer medication. I'm doing the best that I can.' " 

"I refuse to be broken [by what people say]," she says. "I have so many beautiful things in my life."

And for much more from Giuliana, including a very personal reveal and the truth about the Fashion Police controversy, it's all in the latest issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday (US, and available in selected outlets in Australia).

Ksenija Lukich: Engaged to Dan Bragg + Interview

Ksenija Lukich, the Australian woman chosen to represent the E! channel, has just announced her engagement to her longtime love, Dan Bragg.

Josie's Juice met Ksenija at the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Sydney movie premiere last week and we had an impromptu interview with the very approachable, super friendly TV personality - you can read that interview below.

Josie's Juice met Ksenija last week (just before her eneand here is what she said about her new, exciting role and mentoring from E! cohort, longtime host Giuliana Rancic:

Josie's Juice: How have you found the whole experience so far, being the face of Australia's E! channel?

Ksenija: "It has been really amazing, the whole thing. And getting flown to LA and experiencing the set [Ksenija was on the US set of the E! channel recently, and was shown around by the hosts] and talking with Giuliana [Rancic], and Terrence [Jenkins] and Jason [Kennedy], was lots of fun, and really enlightening, quite an experience. I learned a lot from it.

"I also met with Catt [Sadler] afterwards as well, and she was wonderful, very welcoming. They all have such beautiful things to say to me about my new role, and wonderful words of advice, so it was a really fantastic experience.

Josie's Juice: So, Giuliana has taken you under her wing?

Ksenija: Yes, she's just given me some bits of really beautiful advice and always goes out of her way to come and say hi and help me out. She's truly wonderful. I am having the best time.

Josie's Juice: What are you most looking forward to tonight, at this screening?

Ksenija: I am introducing the movie, then I will sit back like the rest of us and see what the fuss is about. I love events like this (at that point, Ksenija is whisked away to do her official MC duties in the cinemas at Fox Entertainment Quarter on opening night).

Here are some photos taken by Josie's Juice on launch night:

Ross Matthews: 'Hello Ross' on E! - Interview

E! Favourite Ross Mathews Brings His Over-the-Top Love for All Things Pop Culture to New Series 'Hello Ross'.


The Australian premiere date is Saturday, September 7 at 9.30pm, soon after it airs in the US - 'Express From the US' as is Foxtel's tagline.

I was given the opportunity to interview Ross this week in the lead up to the global debut of his show.

Ross was as affable, lovable, smart, genuine, and adorable as you'd imagine, and added some fabulous words of wisdom and strong convictions about life. It's hard not to warm to Ross.

Here's my Josie's Juice blog interview with Ross Matthews:

Josie's Juice: So, set the scene: where are you right now?

Ross Matthews: I'm in my office at Universal Studios in Hollywood, where we're shooting my talk show. Even saying it out loud is just like, I can't even believe it!

JJ: It must be a massive dream come true for you!

RM: It is! Even growing up as a kid in a farm town I always wanted to be a talk show host. I remember being eight years old and telling my mom, "I want to be a talk show host", because I wanted to meet celebrities - but not just meet them, but also have a conversations with them.

Every decision I've made since I was eight years old has been to get here. And now to be here is like... it's very thrilling! But now, more than ever, it's like, let's get to work!



JJ: I mean, how can anyone not love you?

RM: To have confidence when you're like me - and I am a big gay cartoon of a person - you're going to have to be 1000% in, and never apologise, and just go forward and that's what I am good at.

The subtitle of my book 'Man Up' is 'Tales of My Delusional Self-Confidence' and I really mean that. I just kind of go forward and it's all about fun and positivity and like, everyone just hop on if you like it, come on board!

Having faith in you, I think - not to be all hippy dizzy about it - but I just think, "Why not me?" I shouldn't have ever thought this should have ever have happened to me, but I thought, "Why not me?!"

JJ: I love that. That is honestly my credo too! I'd imagine you'd inspire men, young gay men, and young people in geveral all the time?

RM: Absolutely. And my story is not just a gay story. I define 'man up' - the title of my book - as embracing and celebrating what makes you different, so you stand out from the crowd. So, my story is not just a gay story, it's a universal story of self acceptance. Because we all have something, we all have that thing that makes us different that we're ashamed of. Some of us have three or four (laughs). I have... well, I can give you a list!

At a certain point, it's... I can hate myself or I can love myself, and go 1000% and that's what I've done, and I think that's really resonated with the auduence. And, I am so excited - I am such a fan of pop culture, and that's what 'Hello Ross' the show is about. It really is a place for pop culture, because I love the stuff, you love this stuff, let's talk about it.

JJ: So tell me, what can we expect from the show?

RM: My show is for the super fans. There are so many shows that tear down pop culture, and say, "Isn't she lame?!" My show is more like, "I love this stuff, you love this stuff, let's talk about it. My co-shot on the show is the audience. It's built in the round. So when we're talking about the biggest stories of the week, I will be talking to the audience in the studio.

And when we have a guest on the show, the studio audience can ask them questions. And it's not just limited here to Hollywood - we will be video chatting to people from across the world, so people in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, all around the world... people can ask the biggest stars in the world their question.

When I say it's about pop culture and people coming together, I mean it! 

JJ: This really follows the way pop culture is manifested these day: it's propelled by social media.

RM: Yes! I remember when I was a kid and I said I wanna be talk show host, I would watch talk shows and I would watch Rosie (O'Donnell) and Oprah... and I would talk to the TV and I would think, why can't they hear me, and in 2013, we can!

So there's no reason that the people can't be a part of the show.

You can't reinvent the wheel of a talk show, I knew that early on, but what you can do is bring your perspective and your piont of view. And everyhing I bring into this, not only is it new and fresh, and - I think - really needed in pop culture, but it's authentic, it really is.

These are the conversations I'm having wth people anyway, and we're just opening it up to the rest of the world. You know, I took my entire staff to see the 'One Direction' documenary and we sat around afterwards and just talked about it, and debated who is the best one and who is the cutest, and what is the best song (laughs). And that's what this show is going to be about.

JJ: I agree. This are what we about now. We can talk politics and important issues, but we also talk about Miley Cyrus and what Kim Kardashian's baby looks like.

JJ: So how can people in Australia, and around the world take part?

RM: To take part, follow us on Twitter and tweet us, or go to the 'Hello Ross' website and leave messages... we are scouring social media all the time.

When we know we're going to talk about Lady Gaga, we are scouring Lady Gaga's website, and fan forums - we don't want the fans here in the audience to be straight out of casting central; we want these people to be running Iloveladygaga.com... we want these people to really care and be having this dailogue anyway and we're just giving them a platform.

JJ: You just know 'Hello Ross' will do what it says it will: deliver fun, discussion, and a huge dose of pop culture to those who love this stuff. I am thrilled for you.

RM: I feel that, and I feel people really rooting for us and I will deliver, I promise you.

Screen details are below for 'Hello Ross.Universally been adored for his appearances on 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno', 'Chelsea Lately', and E!’s red carpet coverage, and now, Ross will give viewers a fresh take on the latest news from Hollywood.
