Giada Redesigns Official Website; Answers Many Burning Questions
 |
Giada De Laurentiis unveiled yet another major redesign of her official website today: a clean, easily navigable site with a pale pink theme. There’s a decent selection of recipes, an online store, a blog, and my favorite: a FAQ, where Giada answers such burning questions as “What nail polish do you wear” and “How do you do your hair.” Midway through the Q&A, I was half expecting to see a video message from Tyra Banks, since the whole thing seemed much more “Rejected America’s Next Top Model Contestant” than “Food Network Host.”
Let’s go over a few of Giada’s FAQ’s (which can be found here):
Q: Where is the necklace you always wear with the 4 – strands from?
Giada’s Answer: This necklace was a gift from my husband, Todd. It is a custom made necklace. It has three white gold strands with diamonds and one pink gold strand with diamonds. You can make your own at Tiffany and Co by purchasing “diamonds by the yard.”
Our Reply: Diamonds By The Yard start at $1975, and go up to $20,000. You have four of strands, so multiply those numbers times four. Thanks for pointing out that your necklace costs more than my car.
Q: Where did you get the dog- tag looking necklace?
Giada’s Answer: It is from a store in Rome.
Our Reply: Yeah? Well I got my .925 sterling silver ring from a toothless Mexican woman in Cancun. WHO CARES? Do we need to know where you obtained every piece of jewelry?!
Q: What type of nail polish do you wear?
Giada’s Answer: I wear OPI Bubble Bath
Our Reply: Phew. I’m so relieved to hear that. I have been losing sleep over it for years. I’d see your nails on those up-close garlic peeling shots and just think to myself, DAMN GIRL, where did you get that polish?
Q: What type of Make-up do you use?
Giada’s Answer: For foundation I use Chantecaille and Jouer make-up; for eyes, I typically use Bobbi Brown or Jouer.; for lip gloss, I use Shu Uemura.
Our Reply: All that make-up? Good God, do you melt when it rains?
Q: How do you do your hair?
Giada’s Answer: I use Velcro rollers and touch up with a barrel curling iron.
Our Reply: See? We weren’t kidding about the whole “America’s Next Top Model” thing.

I’m not really all that upset over her expensive jewelry. Hell if I had the money I’d probably buy some expensive shit too lol.
…like you said, I think the site has some functional features and is easier to use than the actual FN site. But LMAO… what is with all those beauty and jewelry questions? Granted Giada never met a hairbrush or lip gloss she didn’t like, but jeez.
No one is losing sleep over her jewelry, IsisRaen, it’s more that it comes off a bit… pretentious and shallow. Well to me anyway!
Hello! New to this website and boy, am I glad I found it. Thanks for the laughs!
Oh and those make-up brands aren’t cheap, either. Hundreds of dollars. Of course she can afford it. But why flaunt it in the face of so many (like me) who can not?!
What I’m dying to know is where did she buy her boobs?
Sarcasm, IsisRaen……. it’s sarcasm. :)
Giada is hot! I love to learn all about her makeup, jewelry, and how she gets her boobs to look like that!
Eddagonna — LMFAO. I bet they were a “gift from her husband” too.
Yes, thank you dumbasses for clarifying that it was all sarcasm especially when I already understand it’s sarcasm. But I don’t get why so many people take these things as “flaunting in my face when I can’t afford it” yada yada yada yada yada… Coveting much? Just because someone has it and they answer a question because some shitwipe asked it to begin with doesn’t mean they’re trying to throw it in everyone’s face. Christ – get over it. So she wears expensive jewelry and wears expensive makeup – stop acting like st00pid teenagers and move past it.
What cracked me up about her site is on the Shopping link – the links to Crate & Barrel for the olive oil and salt are switched.
1. No one is coveting or acting like teenagers. Giada is flaunting. She picked and chose which questions to have her appear on her website. And including 20 questions about hair and makeup and jewelry makes her seem like a shallow whore.
2. You called me a “dumbass” — that’s not acting like a “st00pid teenager?” Hypocrisy much?
No more than sitting here and taking some questions on a minor celebrity’s website as her throwing her wealth in your face or calling her a shallow whore. Who the frick cares. Get over it.
Isis you’re so out of line that it’s laughable! This is a satire site! And you’re going to come here, and insult the website writer?! Pretty dumb.
I personally don’t give 2 shits about Giada, or her jewelry, or her husband. But I can tell you that I hate when people brag about their wealth which is what she is CLEARLY doing here. How many people really asked her about a necklace she wore a few times on air? Not many. She’s bragging and it’s revolting to me. And how in love with yourself are you that you have to talk about your hair and makeup and jewels all over your website? You are a chef.
Get with the program Giada. And Isis.
Long time website viewer, first time commenter. Hello!
I wanted to give my two cents. I agree with the author of this post in that all this talk about her wealth and makeup regime is just unnecessary. So what if she got 3 emails, out of tens of thousands, asking her about a necklace? It just looks plain silly.
And it’s not like there is just one question about hair and beauty and jewels. There are several – and it is quite laughable. And from a man’s perspective, it stands out even more and it made me stop reading the website. I don’t care about nail polish.
Dear Giada
No one cares about your caked on makeup.
Love
Everyone
And by the way, I got my sterling silver ring from a Mexican lady in Cancun too. Except my lady had teeth.
Seriously, why is she answering all these questions about her hair, makeup, and jewelery when she is a chef and should be answering FAQs about cooking and food? And why are people bothering to ask her about what she wears? I doubt the average Giada-fan can afford any of that stuff, let alone an $80,000 necklace. Jesus, that’s more than what my out-of-state college tuition cost.
Whatevs to idiotic comments, jealousy and that email I was sent.
Giada deserves the ridicule of America for her behaviour on TNFNS where she tried to excercise her audacious sense of superiority when she was a judge.Those moments alone showed America what a little turd she is.
Here, here! It is refreshing to see people calling out Giada for what she is: a materialistic, showy snob who only got where she is because she came from money.
Granted, you did it in a much funnier, sarcastic, round about way than I did, so cheers for the laugh.
Thanks for keeping it real.
“whatevs?” Are you six? LMAO. That was just as funny as the post.
I agree with Kyle – if you want to ridicule her, don’t do it on something as petty as money. Do it for something worthwhile.
All the “chefs” that judge TNFNS act like douchebags – especially Bobby Flay. They all act holier than thou.
What world are you living in that money is petty? That’s not petty at all. If someone is continually throwing something in your face, like she is, that person deserves to be called out. It’s not just the website, either. It’s magazines, interviews, guest appearances, and on her show.
She deserves all the ridicule in the world. Frankly, this post was very benign and the author was not hard ENOUGH on Giada’s ridiculous FAQ on her website.
She is a bimbo .. this is a humor site, it was begging to be made fun of .. LOL, what makeup do you wear. Thats something for a q&a with cosmo, not an official website for a “Tv chef”
Awe Isis, look at you, pot stirrin’ away!
Hey, I still like you..lots! :)
Hey Jenna. Not intentionally stirring any pots. People just need to realize that if someone else’s life annoys them because that person has stuff they don’t… then don’t freakin pay attention to it or get it yourself. I guess I’m one of the few that’s actually happy with their life and I would not trade places with anyone in the world – no matter how much money they have and how many bills I have stacked up to pay off.
Giada is a stylist’s creation. Here she is before stylist makeovers. http://i1.fc-img.com/CTV02/Comcast_CIM_Prod_Fancast_Image/2/584/1189195626653_2EverydayItalian_mif.jpg_408_209.jpg
Giada insists her husband is a fashion designer. Someone should tell her what he actually does for Anthropologie and it ain’t exactly designing.
What he does is not glamourous enough for Giada so she “reclassified” him.
Isis, why don’t you go back to your own website and be miserable with the three other posters there? You were white trash when you were a member of RRSux and you’re white trash now. Go away. And take your potty mouth with you.
Thanks for the link EDDA…your def right!
Hey Lunch Lady – I have some paper dolls your husband would be interested in after you told us how much “fun” he had with that RayRay life-size cutout. Oh and isn’t time for your shift over at Hoohahville?? Back off, Retch – you’re too easily picked out of a crowd.
>>waits for RayRayRetch to start attacking parenting skills – you cracks are so predictable<<
Wait, that creature you post pictures of is your child?! I thought it was fairmountfairy’s porch chicken.
Ya know… for someone who’s so “above” everything that you’re putting down… you sure spend a lot of time cruising our site. Is there a particular reason why?
And you can say whatever you want about me and my child. If your opinion was valid, it might bother me, but I don’t give a damn what you think so your little attacks aren’t having any effect.
Was Giada ever really pregnant?I know she has a baby,but did she have it or did she have a surragant or did she adopt?I never heard anything about her during her pregnancy or seen her pregnant!!!
I wished I had a beautiful home on the Pacific Ocean Coast! Lucky Lady!
I don’t appreciate all these negative comments about giada
@Susan. You do realize this is a humor site, right?
As for Giada, I just read in her blog that it takes 14 hours to film one half hour episode. What gives?
If you look at the official website, you will also see “how can you be a chef and stay in such great shape?” and “where do you get all your cute clothes?” Um, ego much?
