Interview: Entertainment Journalist Giuliana Rancic Gives A Look Into Her Busy Life!

Giuliana Rancic hosts Glade Expressions Dinner Party

Giuliana Rancic has to be the most hard working woman in entertainment journalism.  Juggling her work life as host of E! News and married life with hubbie Bill Rancic is probably hectic enough, but the ever-busy Rancic is just getting started!

There’s her partnership with Glade Expressions (is her own Glade fragrance line in her future?!  I sure hope so!), her new restaurant Mama DePandi’s, her reality show Giuliana and Bill, and her newest venture, FabFitFun.com, which is all about “living well on the inside-out.”

And with award season on its way, the TV personality is heading to the Grammys with Ryan Seacrest this weekend!

Even with her busy schedule, Giuliana was kind enough to do an interview with me – you can check out the interview at TheCelebrityCafe.com.

Check out some pictures of Giuliana showing some love for Glade by hosting the Glade Expressions Dinner Party after the jump!
