A dreadlock joke, two host exits and now, E!'s "Fashion Police" will go on a break for seven months.
The network announced that the series – which Kathy Griffin and Kelly Osbourne exited following Giuliana Rancic's comments about Zendaya's dreadlocks at the Oscars – will return when award show season kicks off in the fall, presumably for the Emmy Awards on September 20.
"E!’s comedy series 'Fashion Police' is going on hiatus and will return in September," the network said in a statement on Monday. "We look forward to taking this opportunity to refresh the show before the next awards season."

Adding, "Our talented co-hosts Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski, along with Executive Producer Melissa Rivers, will continue their roles as we evolve the show into its next chapter for the legions of 'Fashion Police' fans around the world."
After appearing on only seven episodes of the style show, Kathy exited and in a message on Twitter, wrote, "I discovered that my style does not fit with the creative direction of the show & now it's time to move on."
