Giuliana Rancic is about to open her very own Italian restaurant in Chicago with her husband Bill.
The E! host says much of the inspiration for the restaurant came from her family.
"One of our inspirations is my Italian mom," Giuliana said. "Mama DePandi makes the most authentic Italian food and people cannot wait to get their hands on it ... She along with our chef, Doug Psaltis, will create mouthwatering dishes together."
So who does Giuliana want as her first celebrity patron? Well, LeAnn Rimes of course!
"She lost a lot of weight from all the stress in her life," Giuliana said. "She seems a little thin right now and I think she looks great when she's a bit curvier."
LeAnn was none to happy about the comments and took to her Twitter page to defend herself.
"@GiulianaRancic hey, we should go to dinner sometime," LeAnn wrote. "You get criticized all the time for how small you are. You can see just HOW much I eat and maybe put a stop to this crazy "shrinking" once and for all. Then we should workout together! Good luck with your restaurant!!!!"
The Rancics' restaurant is scheduled to open in January 2012.
