Giuliana Rancic gets parenting advice from Kris Jenner, ‘she’s like my second mother’


Amid all the big scandals this summer and the thrill of the Olympics, I forgot that Giuliana Rancic is expecting a baby via surrogate. That’s what happens when big news dominates the gossip world, the C and D listers get pushed to the bottom. Well Giuliana is here to remind us that she has a baby coming. Since she’s a reality star and also works on the Kardashian Network, aka E!, she’s besties with Kris Jenner. So who better to get advice from than the ultimate stage mom herself? Kris is helping Giuliana learn how to turn her offspring into a little money-maker from the moment he’s born.

“Kris Jenner is like my second mother,” Giuliana, 36, raved to Us Weekly at a Wednesday TCA event promoting her new NBC series, Ready for Love. Calling the fellow E! star and Kardashian-Jenner family matriarch “amazing,” Giuliana explains that Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian’s mama is already doling out her best tips. “Kris gives me the greatest advice. You’ll email her one question, one line, and she’ll respond in four paragraphs. She’s the most thorough, amazing woman.”

In addition to prepping Giuliana for motherhood, Jenner, 56, is also encouraging Baby Rancic to be active in his early years.

“She sent the best gifts for the baby: the cutest clothes from Ralph Lauren, [including] Olympic polos from the London Olympics that have the Olympic emblem,” Giuliana tells Us. “I thought ‘wow, my kid is going to have an Olympic shirt from Bruce Jenner?’ That’s pretty cool. And she sent Baby’s First Golf Clubs! Bill died when he saw that.”

Though their son will already have his own clubs at birth, Bill isn’t going to force his boy to hit the links.

“I hope I’m half as good a dad as my dad was to me,” Giuliana’s Ready for Love cohost hubby, 41, explains. “My dad was very patient. He never forced me to do anything — play sports — but he encouraged me to do it. And I’m glad that he did because I think that’s been a big factor in who I’ve become, the man that I’ve become today.”

Giuliana should also talk to Kate Gosselin to get an idea of how the tide turns once the cameras are off. This is Giuliana’s priority, she wants to know how to turn her family into an empire like the Kardashians. She’s been working on it through her own reality show, lifestyle brand, and now she’s even got a fashion line, G by Giuliana that she’s about to hawk on HSN. Of course she does. USA Today has some sample pieces from Giuliana’s line, and they’re fug. She has an animal print jacket and a faux fur vest, both of which retail for $130. I’m going to say something bitchy, which is my prerogative, I don’t see Giuliana as the most hands-on mom, which is fine. Bill will probably be doing most of the parenting, along with the nanny they hire with strict instructions not to be seen by the public.

Giuliana is shown with Jillian Reynolds and Kris Jenner on 5-9-12. She’s also shown getting the ‘Beautiful Humanitarian Award’ at The 2012 North American Hairstyling Awards in Vegas on 7-22-12. Credit: DJDM/WENN.com

    I used to like her but she is turning into a bigger famewhore than the people she interviews.

    • yuck says:

      This woman is irritating. How can ANYONE consider mutha ho Jenner to be a second mother?? Nuts I say! In any case, Rancid looks like an insect and does not come across as appealing in any way. I cannot understand how this unattractive person met with a modicum of success in the entertainment industry… But then again, when reviewing what’s currently out there…

  2. LeeLee says:

    She is so unattractively skinny and seems like such a shallow person. No idea what Bill sees in her.

  3. Jackie O says:

    this anorexic famewhore gets on my nerves…anything for ratings and a relatable storyline.

    • Aussie girl says:

      I used to think that perhaps she is just naturally skinny. That was until I saw some pics of her from her early days. This just made me sad because I came to the realisation that she has major eatIng & over excising issues. Its just sad !

      • Carol says:

        I always stuck up for her (I suffered torment for being naturally thin as well), but then I also saw “before” photos of her and then happened to see some of get blog posts on her diet. It goes beyond healthy eating and straight to obsession. I mean she would say things like she would lie to chefs when out to eat…that she was allergic to butter so that they would only use a light mist of olive oil for her egg white-only meal. To save a few calories. Her meal plans are sad to look at and I’m all for eating healthy. I hope the baby makes her more grounded as she seems genuinely nice.

      • mayamae says:

        Good thing she’s having a boy. Hopefully the baby will model his eating habits after his father.

  4. Agnes says:

    She should hit up Octomom for advice too, since she’s apparently on an “awesome judgment” roll.

  5. Bernice says:

    She looks tired. She has been through a lot in the last year. Wish her well.

  6. MoxyLady007 says:

    Poor thing. Her eating disorder is out of control. Best of luck to her

  7. chw says:

    i was watching her show once, and she was eating a little bowl of cereal for breakfast – it was half water/half milk

    can u believe she’s so obsessed about her weight she waters down skim milk
    she’s got real problems

  8. Amea says:

    I just…..don’t…..care….

  9. Macey says:

    wow, she looks like shit.
    Im not just saying that to be mean. I really cant stand her but she is definitely Anorexic. Her body and face are literally wasting away. Such a shame since she beat her cancer but she doesnt seem like she would be able to give up her ED even for her future kid. Poor kid will probably have the same issues before its 5.

  10. Intercontinental says:

    The headline (and we havent read the contents!) was all we need to do a serial…urgh, jeez, no!!

  11. DEB says:

    Ugh 😛

  12. backwards says:

    She went through so much to have this baby and is now getting parenting advice from Kris Jenner? Pfft

  13. dorothy says:

    Not sure who she is, but she looks deathly ill.

  14. Fatkid says:

    I hope her first mom sets her straight!

  15. Metry says:

    I really sympathized with her (I have my own fertility issues) for a while, but she’s just so vapid and shallow. I hope motherhood grounds her; after all, babies are not props.

  16. Blue says:

    Ugh this bitch is aging backwards too? She gets on my last nerves, she really wants the spotlight. Someone tell her she’s not famous and no one cares.

  17. Chordy says:

    I’m a bit saddened by some of the comments on this piece. Anorexia, or any other eating disorder, is a serious and legitimate disorder, and I do not understand why someone suffering from it would be a reason to dislike them. Even if she doesn’t have an eating disorder (perhaps she just suffers from disordered eating, if you must judge), she lives and works in an environment that values extreme thinness in women over anything else (insert she *chose* this life argument here). It just seems odd that her very thin appearance would inspire such ire. I feel like with ultra thin women in entertainment, don’t hate the player, hate the game. Or elect not to hate at all.

    • Johanna says:

      That way of thinking will never get a person the proper help they deserve. You’re justifying her illness with her environment. My criticism stems from her not valuing what truly matters after everything she’s been through. Being able to say that Kris Jenner is like your second mom or being in the C list spotlight takes precedence over your health? As with any ill person, her loved ones should step in & be the mirror that she turns away from.

      • Chordy says:

        So the commenting section on a gossip site is where women go to “get help” for serious disorders we armchair diagnosed by sh!tting all over the way they look? How do you know what she truly values? Have you even seen her in person? It just sounds like classic concern trolling to me.

      • Johanna says:

        With the exception of few, I don’t think anyone is sh**ing on her looks, as you so eloquently put it, instead they seem horrified as to how unhealthy she looks. I don’t persume to know exactly what she values but I formed my opinion of her after her interview on the View & from her own comments on her show & blog. I didn’t even post a comment on her but I did respond to yours because as you may think that this is classic concern trolling I want you to know that you sound like a classic enabler.

    • Lisa says:

      Co-signed.

  18. Joanna says:

    Does her husband seem gay to anyone else? he just gives me a big gay vibe. not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    • liyah says:

      I get that too. I was hoping someone else would notice.

    • liyah says:

      I get that too. I was hoping someone else would notice

    • reddmasters says:

      Nope, I get it too- when I used to watch in the early episodes; don’t watch E at all anymore because of the K family and this noxious bitch promoting her eating disorders. Last year she got everyone’s pity vote for the cancer scare, and I do sympathize with anyone going through the surgery/treatments, but the truth is this woman is the fakest fake out there.

    • anonymoose says:

      I get a FRANKENSTEIN VIBE from him. A big gay Frankenstein vibe.

  19. Black Pearl says:

    True that, Chordy..

  20. HadleyB says:

    When the baby comes I wonder if Bill will put up with al this BS for how much longer.

    I know he loves money as much as G but he doesnt care for the spotlight / celeb crap like G does and he has certain limits – she has none. She would rather do a red carpet event than do something with her kid.

    I predict divorce in a few years after this kid comes over the differences in raising it, her fame whoring and he will find a new semi normal women instead or someone more low key from Chicago who lives in Chicago, and doesnt want to live in LA at all.

    My prediction. lol

  21. TheOneAndOnly says:

    I agree hadleyb and he does give off the gay vibe; but more significantly, this is another confirmation that nearly everyone in hollywood is a rear end kissing moron. Pimp Mama as maternal guide; what’s next charlie sheen is my guide to healthy living. SHeesh. ANd yes,good GOd, does she appear vacant and empty.

  22. the original bellaluna says:

    That poor kid. Thank God it’s a boy.

    • Lisa says:

      How come?

      • Floridaseaturtle says:

        I am guessing that Bella is saying that because of a couple of reasons, although there is no template of course. I have sons and a daughter. The daughter is instinctively like me, in things I feel I know I didn’t teach or expose to her. Talents even, that I haven’t had the time to expose to her due to being a working mom of young children and a wife. But the little OCD tendencies even. (Unless I expose them..lol). They boys, not as much, and they just are not as emotionally wired, simply a gender thing. I probably am not explaining it, sorry, but I kind of think I know what she means. Especially if she seems like she is going to be soooo busy with her career or hanging out with the Kardashians. It is not like coming home from work like you and I do. Last thing this world needs is another mother in the world, raising a daughter, looking to Kris Kardashian for pointers. Like…wtf?

      • the original bellaluna says:

        Lisa – Because Pimp Mama Kris has made a very nice lifestyle for herself pimping out her daughters. “Fame-whore begets fame-whore” and all that.

        And let’s be honest: girls are more pimpable. PMK had BIG PLANS for Kourt & Scott’s daughter, and Scott shut her down. (Damn him for making me like just that little thing about him!)

        Also, GR has serious body issues, and she will pass those on to her daughter. I’m not speaking hypothetically; I’m speaking from first-hand experience with a dear friend and her mother, and the same dear friend and her daughter.

        It’s a vicious cycle. And Floridaseaturtle is right on as well.

  23. Nicolette says:

    Giuilana noooooo! Please don’t get parenting advice from a mother that pimps out her kids! That’s the LAST person you should go to.

    And please eat a little more, tan a little less, and wear bangs again. You have been through hell in the last couple of years I know, and I admire you for handling it as well as you have. But you would look so much better with a few added pounds. 🙂

  24. Izzy says:

    Interesting. Did anyone see today’s BI on BlindGossip about a super-skinny TV personality? It certainly fits.

  25. anonymoose says:

    hey, why won’t my comment publish? it didn’t even get the moderated flag, just vanishes.

  26. bubbles says:

    Sweet Lord Jesus, I hope the surrogate realizes soon enough she is throwing that baby to the wolves.. or hyenas, and runs away with him. No money in the world is worth that Karma.

  27. yikes says:

    Considering her addiction to body image, I have to wonder if the whole “cancer” thing is true. Point 1, she works for E!, and we all know E! is the home of habitual liars. Point 2, she works for E!. Point 3, she works for E!. Point 4, she thinks of Pimp Momma Kar-TRASH as a mother/role model. Just another E! pimp trick.

  28. JD says:

    Something I have always wondered… is it possible that she never had cancer at all?

    • JD says:

      Sorry, yikes… I didn’t notice that you had left pretty much the same comment that I did. SORRY!!

    • idk says:

      Wow can’t believe you would think that. Did you not see her show? They showed the surgery, her parent’s were devastated. It was real…who would lie about a horrible thing like that? Her show had a lot of viewers already, she didn’t need to pretend to be sick in order to get ratings.

  29. anneesezz says:

    Wow. I just lost all respect for that woman. As a breat cancer survivor I felt for her, but saying Kris Jenner is anything other than a pimp who whores our her children shows that she is completely clueless. I will give her the benefit of the doubt that she did not fake cancer. That is the lowest of the low.
