The blame game over at E! continues as E! President Suzanne Kolb has officially reached out to the writers of Fashion Police via email requesting that they end their strike. 

Kolb also places responsibility for the stalled negotiations almost entirely on the Writers Guild of America, which Kolb says has "convinced" the writers that "a strike is necessary in order to gain a union contract." 

Kolb argues that's not the case. Check out her letter after the jump!

E!'s Fashion Police writers are still on strike for fair wages and better working conditions (and we're NOT happy about their absence) so what are they doing in the meantime?

Funny Or Die gives us a glimpse into the life of a staff of comedy writers with more than a little time on their hands!

Looks like Joan Rivers will have to write her entire panel's lines for the foreseeable future as the dozen writers E!'s hit show Fashion Police employ have gone on strike.

After filing claims against E! and Joan's Rugby Productions over wage disputes and a lack of a Writer's Guild contract, the writing staff of the show have officially launched a picket line.

Just like the rule for bold prints this spring, many readers wanted "more, more, more" of our April/May 2013 fashion spread model Eli and the inspiring wardrobe so deliciously selected by our fashion director Eric Launder. Thankfully, Molly Mazilu was on hand to record all the behind-the-seams action of our most recent fashion shoot and today we finally get to give it a peek!

Photographer Matthew Lyn accomplished what many of us only dream to by taking male models backstage at New York Fashion Week for a little one on one action. The results, of course, are absolutely stunning. 

Check out more of Lyn's male model portraits after the break. 

United Colors of Beneton's inclusive principles has long been an overused punchline, but we're glad to see the jokes haven't deterred the iconic fashion house from pioneering acceptance in the fashion world.

So, a big round of applause goes to the United Colors of Beneton for giving a major role to Brazilian/Italian trans model Lea T in the label's s/s 2013 campaign. Check out Lea's first inspirational promo video as a brand ambassador for Beneton after the break. 

Never one to shirk controversy, designer Karl Legerfeld debuted his Chanel 2013 Spring Haute Couture collection today in Paris and used the show to present his own endorsement of marriage equality in France.

When we think of Matt Bomer's clothes we primarily imagine them in a ball on the floor at the end of our bed. Or by the couch. In the car. Wherever. He's just typically not wearing them. 

Still, we can't help but note that the man has style, especially when he's in character as White Collar's Neal Caffrey.

Never one to back down from a fight (even if it doesn't directly involve her), Sharon Osbourne has jumped into the fray between Lady Gaga and her daughter, Kelly. And let's just say, she's not exactly playing nicely with Mother Monster...

See what Sharon had to say after the jump!

Men donning skirts and tights (separately or complementary) is certainly not sartorial groundbreaking. Eighteenth century aristocrats, for starters, not to mention flirtations in the fashion world periodically since the 1980s have seen adventurous souls with XY chromosomes courting these boldly ambiguous pieces.

But thanks to a few big name celebrities cosigning the looks like Justin Bieber and Kanye West (who performed at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night wearing a leather skirt and leather male leggings a.k.a. meggings), the "traditionally feminine" items are officially hyped and co-opted by men this season. Are you on board with the look that's already taken over Manhattan, London & Paris and threatens to spread to other cosmopolitan...
