Do we want a “fashion talk show”? Do we need a “fashion talk show”? The answer is pretty far on the NOPE end of the scale, but regardless, we are getting one: celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe, whose guttural, emotionless catch-phrases I have grudgingly missed since Bravo’s The Rachel Zoe Project wrapped in 2013, will be hosting a very bananas talk show called Fashionably Late With Rachel Zoe on Lifetime come September.
And by “bananas,” I mean “ill-fated”: According to Variety, she will be joined by “Harper’s Bazaar editor-at-large Derek Blasberg, her husband Ro[d]ger Berman and a slew of her celebrity friends.” (That’s correct, Variety left out Rodger’s D. Not the first time Rodger’s D has been ignored, heyo, just kidding!) So in other words, Rachel Zoe will be joined on this talk show by two boring white men: her husband, who deals with her company’s finances, and Mr. Blasberg, who goes to parties and designs terrible stationery. Fashion works in mysterious ways, I guess!
