Giuliana & Bill Rancic Land Reality Show
April 27th, 2009
Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey might’ve been the original reality newlyweds, but now E! host Giuliana Rancic and her Apprentice hubby Bill Rancic are having a go at married life in front of the cameras.
The couple’s new marriage will be the focus of Giuliana & Bill, airing on the Style Network starting this August, as they try to balance their careers and love life while living apart in L.A. and Chicago.
Cameras will follow Giuliana and Bill to work, as one navigates million-dollar real estate deals and Giuliana interviews celebs on the red carpet. In between work, the loving twosome keep up with phone calls and cross-country flights.
The two were married in 2007 in Capri, and only OK! had their honeymoon photos in Grand Cayman.
Giuliana Rancic’s Charmed Life
July 29th, 2008
Giuliana Rancic certainly leads a charmed life as the wife of season one Apprentice winner Bill Rancic and managing editor of E! News.
The couple will celebrate one year of wedded bliss in September.
“We’re best friends,” the 32-year-old beauty tells me. “Bottom line, he’s my husband second and my best friend first. I married my best friend. I think that’s actually the secret to a good marriage. Marry your best friend, you’re going to want to hang out with them all the time. We like the same food, we like the same restaurants, we have the same workout regimen.”
That workout regimen includes lifting weights and running six miles a day, five days a week beginning at 4:30 a.m.
“There’s no magic pill. You’ve just gotta commit to diet and exercise.”
By 6:00 a.m, Giuliana begins her day at the E! office located in L.A.
“It’s funny, in the morning at E! News, we’re all women and we determine the entire show. The line producer, the executive editor and the executive producer are my support group. We’re all women. We’re all on the same page. It’s good. I’ve never in my whole career had any sort of competition with women. I’ve never felt women holding me down ever.”
When it’s quitting time, Giuliana relishes her drive time.
“I love driving in a car. I don’t know what it is. It’s my moment to be alone.”
When Giuliana returns home after a long day, she flips on the news. “I’m a news junkie. My husband and I just watch CNN, Fox and MSNBC. We love watching news and following the campaign.”
Bill, 37, is the ideal husband.
“He absolutely supports me,” Giuliana tells me. “He’s just the best. Any help I need, anything to do with work, he’s right there always encouraging me and loves that I work and that I have this job that I love. As long as I love the job, he’ll always support me.”
He appreciates her sense of humor and drive.
“I came to America when I was a little girl, and I didn’t speak a lick of English. I didn’t have family in the business. I’d watch TV, and I said ‘I want to do that job.’ And so I went after it. I didn’t look like the typical anchorwoman, so I was made fun of all the time. I like to encourage girls to go after their dreams.”
Gifting Miley Cyrus
May 23rd, 2008
Miley Cyrus sweeps into the Izod Fragrance Artist Gift Lounge backstage at Z100’s Zootopia wearing a huge smile on her face, a Topshop dress and a jacket so expensive she would never buy it herself.
Shocking? Nah. The Hannah Montana star, 15, is a penny-pincher. “She had a Blackberry but she lost it, and she’s too cheap to get another one,” I hear. Luckily, she receives a Blackberry Pearl in her stash of goodies.
Miley curls up on the couch to chat with Z100 before taking inventory of her new accessories. She raids the stainless steel jewelry line from Black and Blue taking one of everything. She’s eager to schedule her new Roomba to vacuum her room while she’s away on tour. And, during a round of The Box Girls Box of Questions Conversation Starter Games, she says, “I’d sit in my boxer shorts and play video games all day if I was a boy.”
Well, if she was a boy she might be just like half-brother Trace Cyrus, who is in the electro-pop band Metro Station. Miley joins him onstage during the pre-show, and the crowd goes wild.
“She was chilling,” he tells me. “She was sitting there watching it.”
One thing Trace has that Miley doesn’t is a body filled with tattoos. His favorite? “This one right here,” he tells me, flexing his arm. It says ‘This time here will never last.’ It’s lyrics to one of my dad’s [Billy Ray Cyrus] songs.”
Lunchtime! I grab a meal ticket and scope out the catering section, where I bump into New Kids On The Block. I’m enjoying my roast beef sandwich, French fries, potato salad and sugar cookie when the guys roll through. “It’s too crowded in here,” Donnie Wahlberg laments. “Let’s eat in the dressing room.” (Bummer!)
The guys roll into the gift lounge. The highlight is the Roomba. Danny Wood, who is a single dad, is excited to get housework help from the gadget. And Jordan Knight says the device will free up the time his wife would spend vacuuming. Joey McIntyre walks up and announces “We are in the future.”
Here’s Gavin DeGraw. I’ll never forget the first thing he said to me years ago when we met in a club: “Are you married?” And then, he had the hit single I Don’t Want To Be. I have the worst luck with this. Anyone whose advances I’ve dismissed always hits the big time. (Hello, Bill Rancic.) Gavin’s still got it. “Hi gorgeous,” he says. Hm, is he dating anyone now? “I’m too busy right now to fail at a relationship.” I see…
Another fun guy is Simple Plan’s Chuck Comeau. He’s up there – he cracks me up, and his Quebecois accent makes me smile. I once interviewed Simple Plan on a bed at The Time Hotel in NYC. (Not my idea – theirs.) He remembers. What’s his status? “Single and open for business,” he tells me. I was also there when he asked Kelly Clarkson out a few years ago at a Z100 event. “Nothing ever happened with that. I thought I had an ‘in’ – I thought I was in, but it’s OK. I’ve moved on. I’m stalking other people now like Megan Fox. She’s so hot … she has an amazing talent at acting. She’s absolutely gorgeous.” (Ooh, he’ll have to fight Jesse McCartney.)
Whoa! Love Song singer Sara Bareilles is getting lavished with praise by each member of Danity Kane. Sara is loving the adoration – she’s on top of the world.
Does Sara ever get tired of performing her megahit?
“I have my moments of not being so excited about it, but overall it’s so very fun,” she tells me. “It’s at the point now where people are knowing the words and singing along. That’s very rewarding.”
Danity Kane’s Aubrey O’Day admits she loves to buy handbags. “I’m disgusting about purses,” she tells me. “There’s a purple Prada bag that I really want right now. I just feel like a couple more shows and I’ll feel like I deserve it.”
Here come the Jonas Brothers! Shhh …

OK! Exclusive: Bill & Giuliana Rancic’s Honeymoon
February 15th, 2008Honeymoons are usually associated with lots of rest and relaxation and cozy nights in, but Bill and Giuliana Rancic beg to differ.
The original Apprentice and E! News anchor traded in poolside lounging and sleeping in for wall climbing, weight-lifting and six-mile runs on their Caribbean honeymoon in The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman.
"Strange, right?," Giuliana tells OK!. "We came home healthier and in better shape than when we arrived."
The active getaway was a dream come true for the couple, who tied the knot in Capri, Italy on Sept. 1.
"We had a blast," Bill says. "We sailed around the island a couple of times, and I scared the hell out of Giuliana because she didn’t think I knew how to sail. Like always, I surprised her!"
Jetting off together also gave Bill and Giuliana some much-needed quality time together. Giuliana tapes E! News in L.A. while her 36-year-old hubby films In the Loop with iVillage, a daily talk show, in Chicago, reducing their time together to four nights a week.
"We hadn’t had an opportunity to be alone for a long time," she says. "Being with Bill every second of the day made me fall more in love with him."
And how about kids?
"Bill and I both chased our careers in our 20s," the 32-year-old says. "Now that the careers are in place, we’d like to have kids in the next couple of years. I’d like four kids, but, hey, if they look like Bill, I’ll have 20!"

Bill & Giuliana Rancic’s Honeymoon

No Baby for Giuliana Rancic… Yet
January 21st, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff
Giuliana Rancic will not be joining the baby brigade.
The E! News correspondent is not expecting a baby with her husband, Apprentice winner Bill Rancic, the anchor tells OK!.
“Those darn pregnancy rumors” are completely false, Giuliana tells OK!. But that hasn’t stopped them from spreading like wildfire around the country, much to her frustration.
“I can add that my parents called me about a week ago asking me if I was pregnant after a customer walked up to my father at his clothing store in Maryland and congratulated him on my pregnancy,” Giuliana says. “My parents couldn’t believe they were getting the news that their baby girl was pregnant from a complete stranger!”
The 33-year-old adds that she proceeded to explain to her parents that she was not with child and “assured them that they would be the first to know when I do get pregnant” after her husband.
Giuliana and Bill tied the knot in Capri in September.
NOT-SO-BLIND ITEM
September 1st, 2007 / Author: Valerie Nome
People always ask me what celebs I’ve dated. Well, let’s talk about one reality TV icon I didn’t date. I was covering an event during the first season of The Apprentice. Two or three episodes had aired at this point. I had just turned down a luxury watch, and I was kicking myself for saying no. Around comes interview time with the cast. One particular man was enjoying the interview so much he asked to buy me a drink. OMG, I thought, it’s an open bar here, he’s way too eager, and he’s going to become a reality TV also-ran.
“No, that’s OK,” I say. Big mistake. He won, and he’s getting married. Today.
Congratulations to Bill Rancic and Giuliana DePandi…I send my very best wishes for a happy, healthy life filled with wedded bliss. He’s a catch, and she’s a lucky girl.
