Rancid: Guiliana Rancic Jokes About Zendaya's Oscars Look--250th POST EVER!!


So...this happened earlier this week.
On her E! show Fashion Police, during a special episode on the looks of everyone going to the 87th Academy Awards, Rancic to aim at Disney Channel star Zendaya Coleman, who wore a simple, flowing white gown. But it wasn't the gown she joked about. It was her hairsytle. Zendaya wore dreadlocks tied in her hair for her look. So this is what she said:

After deserved backlash from many (assumedly including her fans sending tweets to her as if she'll notice), Zendaya hit with this peaceful yet damning response on her Twitter page.

Rancic later apologized to Zendaya in this tweet.

Things would only get worse from there as her co-hosts reportedly want her fired from the show, and wants E! to remove her from all of its' programming. Here is this list of tweets from Kelly Osbourne (which I assume she made when she was angry, because the spelling is shit):


and fans lashed out too. Here are a few:




So Guiliana apologized again on her other E! show E! News in this recorded message:


Man...This is stupid. I mean--this was a joke, but a joke out of taste. I usually think of Guliana Rancid as a mature, nice, hard-working woman. Sometimes. Sure, she can make jokes about people as much as she wants and pleases. And if she made a joke about Zendaya's gown, I would care less. But this is about her hair. A stupid joke that shouldn't have been said, in any way or form. Screw it being racist; it was just stupid! And another thing: What the hell does she know about what hair smells like? Has she used SoftSheen Carson or Dark and Lovely or Alberto's V0-5 or Herbal Essences sometime in her life and remembered the aroma? Another point is that she's trying to turn up the edge in her jokes after the death of Joan Rivers. That's the only things I can think of that makes sense.

I mean, what kind of joke is "I feel her hair smells like petrouli oil"? Everybody's hair smelled like pertrouli oil at one point in their lives! So this joke is moot as hell. I don't think it was racist because everyone uses oil or oil-based products in their hair every once in a while, and it wasn't that funny to me anyway. I don't find most jokes on Fashion Police funny anyway. Oh, and I don't think she needs to be fired. It's fucking Fashion Police, people!! The co-hosts make stupid jokes on a lot of celebrities all the time. Someone's gonna whine their ass off about a shot at their favorite actor or starlet every other week like it's fucking memento. And this is just one of those times.

It was very smart of her to apologize to Zendaya. Even if it was done at the insistence of Kelly Osbourne, she still did a smart thing doing this. (Also, I think it makes sense that Kelly was doing this to save her own face while throwing Guiliana under the bus, because she wants no part of it; I wouldn't any part of this my damn self) Sure, Joan would've been unapologetic, but that's what she's known for. Guiliana has NO excuse whatsoever. Should she not beg forgiveness, she would've joined Brian Williams in the suspension line, or maybe even the unemployment line.

The people need to calm down. Black people aren't the only people who put oil-infused products in their hair. You guys must be thinking of your own race too much to come to this conclusion. Sure she said something odd, but all of you are making something out of nothing. You guys remember this is Fashion Police, right? They make brutal jabs at any celebrity with any fashion they don't like ALL THE TIME. Especially Joan Rivers (rest in peace). And speaking of her, if she said anything about Zendaya's hair, we shut the fuck up and just laugh. That's because she was known for her edgy, shocking humor and she been doing this her whole life, and we've known her for this. So her spirit in this show rests with these co-hosts, and it seems hey're taking advantage of it. Leave Guiliana alone.

Guiliana (along with Katy Griffin, since you made something dickish, too), leave Zendaya alone. She did not deserve to be treated like this on her hair, and she did not deserve to be thrown under the bus.

Zendaya, good for you, girl. You fought back against the bullshit, and you did it in a mature, responsible, brains-for-brains way. I'm proud of you, your fans are proud of you, and maybe at the end of this week, the fans of Fashion Police are proud of you, too.
