Taylor Swift looks like she's having a smashing time with a flash car in her latest video, Blank Space. However, all the fun came courtesy of CGI.

Taylor Swift looks like she's having a smashing time with a flash car in her latest video, Blank Space. However, all the fun came courtesy of CGI.

Joan Rivers' daughter Melissa says Fashion Police will be back in January amid much speculation about who will take the top chair.

The Joan Rangers have been out in force online, selecting those they think would be perfect - or not - for the role. Some say, however, "no one can replace" Joan while others think the three remaining critics - Giuliana Rancic, Kelly Osborne and George Kotsiopoulos - should continue on their own with a new guest each week.

Comedienne, eternal B-lister and close Rivers friend, Kathy Griffin, is apparently a front-runner but most don't think she is suitable, myself included. She just doesn't make me laugh.

E! family member and Hello Ross talkshow host Ross Matthews is my choice. Yes, he's loud. Yes, he's dramatic. Yes, his fashion sense is a tad over the top (he loves wearing pink and yellow) - so he'd be perfect.

He talks at top speed, gesticulates wildly, pirouettes with ease and commands attention.

He's funny and he's clever.

Whether Melissa agrees ... well, we don't have to wait too much longer to find out.

Smash it up

Relax, car enthusiasts, Taylor Swift did not really take a golf club to the gorgeous Shelby Cobra featured in her new music video for Blank Space - it was all just CGI.

Car lovers throughout the world were apparently aghast when they saw Taylor smash in the bonnet of one of the greatest cars in history, until Andrea Denver, one of the male models in the video, said the metal mutilation was fake. Phew.
