LOS ANGELES, March 2 (UPI) -- Reality television stars Nene Leakes and Khloe Kardashian are reportedly being considered as possible replacements for Kelly Osbourne on E!'s Fashion Police.

The network announced Osbourne's departure from the show Friday, stating she is leaving to "pursue other opportunities." The revelation follows Osbourne's claims that she was considering leaving the show in light of her co-pannelist Giuliana Rancic's comments that teen actress Zendaya's dreadlocks smelled like "patchouli oil and weed" at the Oscars.

Following the negative reaction to her comments, Rancic publicly apologized to Zendaya in a short clip.

E! said in a statement that "no decisions have been made on [Osbourne's] replacement," but sources told Us Weekly Kardashian and Leakes have been suggested as possible panelists.

Kardashian rose to fame in the reality television series Keeping Up With the Kardashians, where she stars alongside her sisters Kourtney and Kim Kardashian and her half-sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner, and Leakes has had several minor roles in television and is best known for playing herself in Bravos' The Real Housewives of Atlanta since 2008.
