Carson Kressley Wants FASHION POLICE Gig: 'I Have the Chop'

With two seats now vacated by Kelly Osbourne and Kathy Griffin on E!'s beleagured series FASHION POLICE, new "RuPaul's Drag Race" judge Carson Kressley tells Access Hollywood Live that he's the man for the job.

"I'm not really mean at all, but I could pretend to be," Carson revealed to Access Hollywood's Billy Bush and Kit Hoover. He continued, "I would love to work on ['Fashion Police'] as well [as 'Drag Race]"

The former 'Queer Eye' host admits that the show hasn't been the same since the loss of host Joan Rivers, who passed away last September. "I think everybody wants it to be like it was when Joan was there and she's irreplaceable. She had that great gift of she could be really hard on somebody, but you still wound up liking her and you never had a problem with her commentary," he said. "Joan is Joan. We all loved Joan and she could say whatever, and she kind of said what we were thinking. So you never got mad at Joan and that's going to be really hard [to recreate.]"

Kressley believes the key to River's success was her ability to laugh at herself. "She was self-deprecating that she kind of like, she got a hall pass because she would say the same thing about herself," he said. "So I think that's the key."

He went on to share what he believed he good bring to the table as a host of the E! series. "I've been around the block, so to speak, and I have done all the red carpets and worked with all these people, and I have the chops to talk about what they're actually wearing," he offered. "The key is let's not take it so seriously. It's people walking around on red carpet[s] and they're all making millions of dollars. You can take a little flack. As long as it's not, I guess, personal. It's about the clothes."
