Months can go by without a Margaret Cho item.  But this week, we’ve got THREE!  Let’s start with the one I told you about months ago (hmmm, I’m sensing a trend) – E! announced that Cho will be a permanent co-host on Fashion Police.  Her duties begin when the show returns to the air on January 11th for the Golden Globes recap.

She’s also signed a deal with Amazon to return to series television.  In Highland, her character is a former addict who leaves rehab and moves in with her family, who happens to be running a pot dispensary.  Presumably, hilarity (and munchies) will ensue.

Lastly, Cho is taking aim at the Absolutely Fabulous movie, slated to be released on July 1st.  Her problem is with a character described as a Japanese fashion designer named Huki Muki.  The role is being played by a Caucasian actress, and Cho is outraged, saying: “#YELLOWFACE is racism.  Sorry.  It’s unacceptable.  Not now.  I was thrilled about the @abfabmovie but now I just can’t be.  I’m very disappointed.  It’s hard enough to get into film and TV as a person of color – and when roles written for us are played by white actors – it’s an outrage.”  Of course, the film was written by Jennifer Saunders, who presumably had a hand in the casting.  It’s possible that having a Caucasian designer with a Japanese name (and perhaps raised in Japan) may actually be the joke.
