8 1/2 Questions with Giuliana Rancic





Wearing many hats while looking gorgeous is something Giuliana Rancic has clearly mastered. Her life is on the red carpets, hosting for E! News and Fashion Police, having a hit reality show (new season premiers October 11th) with her husband called "Giuliana and Bill" on The Style Network. She even has her own book entitled, “I Do, Now What?”, which Bill Rancic cowrote and gives insight into how to have a healthy marriage.

Besides taking Hollywood by storm, Giuliana is also at the fashion forefront by staying current and setting new trends.

LIVE: I assume your new book “I Do, Now What?” is a full 360 from your previous book, “Think Like a Guy.” Was it easier to write a book with a co-author? 

Rancic: When I wrote “Think Like a Guy” I was a single girl in the dating world. This book reflects my life as a regular girl in the sometimes crazy world of marriage. It’s a completely different subject matter for me. Bill and I wrote this book because we learned so much through trial and error during the first three years of our marriage, which are some of the roughest years for a lot of people. Through our own experiences and through a lot of really great new studies, we have come up with tons of fantastic tips to help married couples navigate their way through big adjustments that come with marriage.

LIVE: You are known for being stylish and are now co-hosting “Fashion Police” (with Joan Rivers) so give it up, what was something that you wore is the past that the Fashion Police would cite you for? 


Rancic: At my very first Emmy Awards I had chosen this great green beaded dress for the show. At the time, I was in my 20s and kind of like a wild, crazy chick. At the very last minute I was leaving my dressing room to go to the red carpet and decided to ditch my gorgeous stiletto heels for big knee-high cowboy boots! My bosses almost fired me it was so bad! Thankfully at the time, I was just a young little reporter, so no red carpet pictures exist…although they may be floating around in an E! vault.

LIVE: Who is your pick for most fashionable celeb on the red carpet at the moment?

Rancic: Right now, I think the best dressed celebrity is Lea Michele. We named her “Best Dressed” on our Emmys Fashion Police Show. She was absolutely stunning in that midnight blue Oscar De La Renta gown. She kind of came out of nowhere and always looks amazing. She’s definitely one I’m going to keep an eye on.

LIVE: What has been your most uncomfortable “red-carpet moment?” 


Rancic: Years ago I was working an Oscar after party on E! and I was interviewing Tom Hanks live and we were having a great, fun conversation and all of the sudden Halle Berry shows up on the red carpet out of nowhere holding her Oscar that she had just won. I knew I had to get an interview with her because she had just won the Oscar! I didn’t want to ditch Tom Hanks so I actually invited Halle over to join my interview with Tom Hanks. I actually introduced two of the biggest Hollywood stars to each other and viewers got to see a very intimate moment on live TV. In the end what started out as an uncomfortable moment became one of my best to date.

LIVE: What can we expect on the new season of “Giuliana and Bill?”


Rancic: This is by far the most intimate and revealing season yet. We have been public with our struggle with infertility and that continues through this season starting with a bombshell in episodes one and three. We also buy a new house and find ourselves going head-to-head on a lot of the renovations. This is by far the best season yet and is filled with laughs and plenty of tears.

LIVE: Watching you cut ties with your assistant Matt last season was heartbreaking. Will he return in the new season?


Rancic: Matt and I haven’t seen each other in a long time, but you never know who could pop up! I do have a new assistant that you will meet and fall in love with as Bill and I have in this new season. It’s the first time I’ve worked with a female assistant so there are lots of very entertaining moments. Her name is Sarah and she’s young, beautiful and a total fashionista! The viewers are going to love her!

LIVE: When the cameras aren’t rolling how do you and Bill like to spend your time? Any guilty pleasures?


Rancic: Bill and I travel so much that when we’re together and have down time, we’re homebodies like a lot of couples.

LIVE: You and Bill seem to be super competitive so on your personal score sheet, who wins the most? 


Rancic: Me hands down!! What did you think I would say?!

LIVE: What was the last thing you Googled? 

Rancic: Besides myself? (Because people who say they don’t are liars!) I Googled how to transform an old t-shirt into a razorback tank top. Odd I know, but I love my fashion!
