"Kelly Osborne, Joan Rivers, and the gang at E&amp;#x27;s Fashion Police are taking a forced break from the fashion barbs, since the show&amp;#x27;s writers just went on strike! They are trying to earn back &amp;quot;hundreds of dollars worth of unpaid overtime that they claim is owed to them by the network and Joan Rivers&amp;#x27; production company,&amp;quot; according to Perez Hilton. It&amp;#x27;s estimated that the writers are trying to recover as much as $1.5 million in back wages. Here&amp;#x27;s what this strike all boils down to: The writers are arguing that they have earned the right to be covered by the Writers Guild (which means they would get benefits), and they are protesting unfair labor practices. &amp;quot;This is very simple,&amp;amp;#8221; Fashion Police writer Ned Rice said, in a statement. &amp;amp;#8220;We have earned the right to be a Guild show, we deserve to be a Guild show, and we want to be a Guild show. The ball is clearly in E! and Rugby&amp;amp;#8217;s [Joan Rivers&amp;#x27; production company] court right now and we&amp;amp;#8217;re ready to go back to work on Fashion Police just as soon as they sign a WGA contract.&amp;quot; If E&amp;#x27;s Fashion Police is one of your favorite shows, get ready for lots of reruns. What do you think about this writers&amp;#x27; strike? Do you watch Fashion Police? Photo: Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
