You have to hand it to Giuliana Rancic, she learned a lot from working at E! She’s promoting her new memoir, out tomorrow, called Going Off Script: How I Survived a Crazy Childhood, Cancer, and Clooney’s 32 On-Screen Rejections. Giuliana has been doing interviews and she’s been masterful at giving quotes and getting headlines. She earned four separate stories on People out of a single interview with them, and she saved some good dirt for her employer network, E! They report that in Giuliana’s memoir, she reveals that her ex, Jerry O’Connell, cheated on her with Geri Halliwell, aka Ginger Spice. After Giuliana forgave him, Jerry then cheated again with Rebecca Romijn, whom he of course ended up marrying. The thing is, the article makes it seem like they weren’t that serious anyway. It also makes Jerry look like a doofus and a dumba**. If this is true, I guess that’s Giuliana’s prerogative.

After meeting at the W Hotel in San Diego, the pair developed a special bond that quickly turned into something romantic.

Things suffered a bump, however, when Giuliana found out he was cheating on her with Spice Girls member Geri Halliwell.

“I was being two-timed…?” Giuliana wrote in her new book per Page Six before detailing Jerry’s reaction. “‘Yeah, I know. I’m so sorry. I don’t know what happened.’ He has as much emotion as the customer-service representative who tells you your bags missed the flight.”

Giuliana proved she was willing to forgive when she gave the relationship a second chance. But when attending Maxim’s 100 Hottest Women Party in 2004, the Fashion Police co-host spotted her man getting flirty with Rebecca Romijn.

“Little did I know he was in the VIP area, talking to Rebecca,” Giuliana dished. “As a prelude to feeling up Rebecca.”

In a matter of days, Jerry stopped taking Giuliana’s phone calls before she eventually decided to confront him at home.
“Nope. Sorry, homegirl,” he said while ending the relationship for good. “Things change, but you take care, OK?”

For those keeping track, Jerry and Rebecca ended up getting married in 2007. They have two kids together. Giuliana also found Mr. Right when she married Bill Rancic the same year.

As much as Giuliana bugs with her constant deflection and denial, this memoir sounds interesting. It will probably be as truth y as Giuliana, but it does come across like a fun, easy read. I love how she doesn’t mince details, compares the guy to a “customer service rep,” and makes him sound like a passive aggressive douche.

In the intro I questioned how serious these two were, because I have little memory of the two of them together and the article made it sound like they were just a fling. In fact I found SO MANY photos of them at events from about May, 2003 to June, 2004. The last photo set of them together is at the fated Maxim 100 party were Jerry hooked up with Rebecca Romijn. Look at Jerry’s crazy eyes in that picture. The dude was looking for an escape route. (More photos of Giuliana and Jerry are here.)

As part of her tireless promotion, Giuliana was also on The Today Show this morning. (Thanks Jenjennyjenjenjenn!) She addressed the criticism of her weight, (she said “I do not have an eating disorder, I have never had an eating disorder, in fact I eat a lot,”) the sad fact that she lost her final embryo to a miscarriage by her surrogate, er childhood as an emigrant from Italy, and the controversy over her comments on Zendaya’s hair. There are other headlines there, but I’m not going to bite. I’m telling you, she’s a hustler and she’s setting up her post-E! game plan. I do think she should take some time off though.

Here’s Giuliana’s interview on Today. She gets a little nervous talking about her weight and the Fashion Police controversy. When Savannah Guthrie asked Giluiana if she was returning to Fashion Police this September, she said “we’ll see.” I don’t think they know what the hell they’re doing with that show yet.
