The Enlightened Network

[Blind Gossip] This TV woman is returning to a show that she left a couple of years ago under a cloud of controversy.

There is one significant thing that she is getting on her return that she didn’t have the first time around.

She is going to be paid on par with [the male lead]. There was a big uproar that he was getting paid twice as much as the women on the show even though they all basically had the same experience and the same responsibilities. Hugely embarrassing for the network, who tried to shut everyone up about it. She said she would take the job if she got paid “equally.” I don’t think that they are going to announce this, although it may leak out so that the network can look “enlightened.”

Consider it leaked.

We’re sure that her business-minded husband is delighted about the financial parity.

Does this move mean that everyone is finally over that hair incident?

    Giuliana Rancic returning to ‘E! News’

    She disparaged Zendaya about her locs she wore at the Oscars.
    We all know the line was not written by her, she just read the script. But it was despicable and she took the fall.

      As a white girl who spent much of my late teens and early twenties at Grateful Dead shows, I myself had some dreads. i also had friends of all ethnicities who had them. That Zandaya or whoever she is made it seem racist is stupid and attention seeking.

      Don’t believe me? Attend a show by a jam band. The dreads are flowing… by all kinds. People who have them like them, nothing more than that.

    Giuliana rancic returning to E news.

    The hair hint is about when she said zendaya’s dreads looks like they’d smell of patchouli oil on Fashion Police. People are so d* sensitive. She apologized on twitter and on air. Get over it! Side note: god i miss joan rivers!

    Goodness, was it only 3 years ago that Guiliana Rancic said that Zenadya ‘s hair would probably smell like pachouli oil, or something to that extent?

    Guiliana Rancic is returning to E News, it was reported today.

    Male co-host: Terrence Jenkins

    Yes, I do. She’s very experienced at what she does and was a top host when she was pushed off the air over the pachouli oil incident. Viva la equal pay! At long last!

    *GASP!!* Does this mean thaf Guiliana Rancic is returning to E! News? If so, then HOORAY!! That whole patchouli oil thing was so overblown, and what’s worse is that she took the fall simply for reading some lame joke that someone told her to read off of a cue card. And YES she deserves just as much-if not MORE! She was THE FACE of E!

    male & female deserve same pay for the same job. that’s fair.

    the hair controversy wasn’t fair to begin with. she read the joke that she was assigned but the network threw her under the bus when there was backlash.

    it was announced that she would be re-joining Entertainment Tonight

    Giuliana Rancic
    So she wasn’t getting paid equally when she was there before? That’s unfair because she has seniority over Jason. In fact, she should be getting paid more because of it. If it was the other way around, he’d definitely be getting paid more.

    I think salary should be determine by the work required, not the gender of the person doing the work.

    As far as the hair incident, I guess everyone has moved on. The network will try to act as if everyone has, anyways.

    Male – Jamie Kennedy
    Female- Guliana Rancic

    Optional – Stopped watching the show a long time ago. Cat was really the only likeable one.

    Jason Kennedy

    Yes! She has just as much experience & work between them so equally spread!

    Male: Can’t remember his name (E! News male anchor)

    Female: Guiliana Rancid (sic?)

    Optional: Women probably deserve more just considering make up and hair and wardrobe/jewelry would have to require more time and $ for women. Although wardrobe is probably on allowance or she is given extra expense $ I would assume.

  44. timesink says

    Guiliana Rancic and E!News cohost Jason Kennedy. (optional) Women being paid equally to men??? What an outrageous concept!
