  • Shane Farley: Giada De Laurentiis’ New Guy Is Still Going Through a Divorce

    Giada De Laurentiis has indeed moved on since her divorce from Todd Thompson in September. She’s confirmed that she is dating TV producer Shane Farley.

    But it appears that Farley has a little bit of work to do before he’s a fully free man.

    Page Six reports that Farley is technically still a married man.

    According to reports, he and wife Jennifer Giamo filed for divorce in March. The proceedings are still ongoing.

    Though dating while in the process of divorce is not some crazy concept, Giamo is apparently flustered by the news about Giada.

    From The Post:

    Documents in New York Supreme Court reveal Farley filed for a divorce on March 30 from Manhattan personal trainer Jennifer Giamo. Her lawyer, Barry S. Guaglardi, told us on Wednesday after E!’s report, “My client is devastated by what she has learned through the tabloids … ‘Hurtful’ would be a mild characterization.” A source said of the divorce proceeding, “They’re just in the middle of it.”

    According to Giada De Laurentiis’ rep, the celebrity chef and Farley didn’t strike up their romance until August.

  • Giada De Laurentiis: New Beau Shane Farley is Married Man

    Giada De Laurentiis admitted earlier this week she is dating someone new. The new beau is TV producer Shane Farley–and not Bobby Flay–as many had suspected. What Giada didn’t share about her new man, however, is that he’s married.

    Before you start calling Giada De Laurentiis a home wrecker–the way people did when they assumed she and Bobby Flay were an item–do note that Shane Farley is in the process of getting divorced.

    E! News reported Giada met Shane Farley back in 2013, when he was supposed to produce a show for her and Bobby Flay. The two only started dating in August, however.

    Giada De Laurentiis hinted while a guest on The Wendy Williams Show recently that there was someone new in her life, but she didn’t share his name at that time–once again propagating the notion of her hooking up with Bobby Flay.

    Shane Farley reportedly relocated to L.A. after filing for divorce. He filed for divorce in March from personal trainer Jennifer Giamo.

    A rep for Giada De Laurentiis tells Fox News, “Giada and Shane are indeed dating but did not start dating until this past August.” He added suggestions the two had been romantically involved earlier were “outright false.”

    Now that it’s clear neither Giada De Laurentiis nor Shane Farley are home wreckers, perhaps people will lay off and allow the Food Network star and her new beau to enjoy a bit of peace–and maybe a little romance, too.

  • Giada De Laurentiis Reportedly Dating TV Producer

    Giada De Laurentiis does indeed have a new man in her life. But who is it?

    Giada has been rumored to be cozying up with the recently-divorced Bobby Flay for some time – but that’s not who she’s with. According to E! News, Giada De Laurentiis’ new man is executive producer Shane Farley. Farley has worked on both FabLife and The Rachael Ray Show.

    According to sources, Farley is a “total guy’s guy” who is also “super creative, upbeat, smart, and very charming.”

    Sounds like a catch.

    As far as Flay, De Laurentiis put that rumor to bed earlier this month, saying,

    “We do get together on Food Network Star. Well, we’re very good friends. We’ve worked for many years together, but I don’t think that’s ever going to happen because I’m smarter than that.”

    Ouch.

    Giada De Laurentiis divorced husband Todd Thompson in September, after splitting up in December of 2014.

    “Although our decision to separate comes with a great deal of sadness, our focus on the future and overwhelming desire for our family’s happiness has given us the strength to move forward on separate, yet always connected paths. Todd and I share a beautiful daughter and a lifetime of great memories that we both treasure more than anything,” she wrote on her Facebook page.

  • Giada de Laurentiis: Who is Her New Mystery Man? Is It Bobby Flay?

    Giada de Laurentiis admitted during a conversation with Wendy Williams on The Wendy Williams Show Wednesday that there is a new man in her life. That’s all she admitted, however. Now speculation is running far and wide as to whom this mystery man might be. Bobby Flay, of course, is in the running.

    When Williams brought up Bobby Flay, Giada de Laurentiis joked she’s been romantically linked to “anybody I laid eyes on even crossing the street.” Andy Cohen raised the same topic when Giada visited him on Watch What Happens Live! He said fans would love to see her linked because of their “great chemistry.”

    “We do get together on Food Network Star,” Giada de Laurentiis said of Bobby Flay. “Well, we’re very good friends. We’ve worked for many years together, but I don’t think that’s ever going to happen because I’m smarter than that.”

    Ouch?

    While Andy Cohen let the subject go, Wendy Williams was far more persistent.

    “Are you in love?” she asked Giada de Laurentiis.

    “God!” De Laurentiis replied.

    That didn’t answer the question, though, did it?

    As recently as January, Giada has been linked to both Bobby Flay–who was in the process of his own divorce from Law & Order: SVU actress Stephanie March. She was also rumored to be dating singer John Mayer.

    “That was a double whammy. That came out a long, long time ago, and then it came resurfaced again. I met John Mayer for like 30 seconds maybe like 10 years ago, and all of a sudden we slept together and had an affair and only God knows what,” she said.

    Giada de Laurentiis will eventually tire of playing coy with interviewers and divulge the identity of this new–or not so new–man.

    Do you think after the dust settles she will admit it is, in fact, Bobby Flay?

  • Giada Divorce: De Laurentiis Paid Big To Divorce Todd Thompson

    Giada Divorce: De Laurentiis Paid Big To Divorce Todd Thompson

    Giada’s divorce is final from her hubby, Todd Thompson.

    However, the newly minted Miss De Laurentiis has paid dearly.

    Giada divorced Todd Thompson with no pre-nup, which means he gets half of pending advances for Giada’s cookbooks that are in the works.

    That sum includes a $2.5 million balance for Giada at Home/Weeknights with Giada. It also includes $2.3 million for Giada Feel Good Food, and $757,000 for Everyday Pasta/Giada’s Kitchen.

    In addition to that, Todd made out like a bandit, garnering $9,000 per month in child support from Giada in the divorce.

    Todd also gets to keep the couple’s home in Pacific Palisades, valued at $3.2 million.

    Going with the pricey home into Todd’s possesion are $300,000 in art and furnishings and a membership in the upscale Bel-Air Bay Club.

    Giada’s divorce decree dictates that the couple will share custody of their seven-year-old daughter, Jade Marie.

    However, neither one will get spousal support since they’re both independently wealthy.

    Giada De Laurentiis is reportedly worth around $20 million, while her ex-husband is worth closer to $15 million.

    Way back in January of 2011, it seemed Giada De Laurentiis had this marriage thing tied down after a rumor surfaced that she had an affair with John Mayer.

    She said of her relationship back then, “I think it can be hard for any man to sometimes be upstaged by his wife.”

    She added, “So when I’m home, I work very hard to be Todd’s wife and Jade’s mother. I have no problem going back to those traditional roles. I try to be Giada, the young girl that he met 20 years ago and fell in love with.”

    She continued, “All men want to be treated like kings in a relationship, and I think if women don’t indulge that sometimes, their men are likely to stray and look for someone who can give that to them.”

    What do you think went wrong between Giada De Laurentiis and Todd Thompson since then?

  • Bobby Flay Hollywood Star Ceremony Marred by ‘Cheater’ Sign Flying Overhead

    Bobby Flay received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday, but someone got revenge at the very same time. It’s uncertain who had it in for the chef on his very special day, but a plane flying a banner reading, ‘CHEATER’ soared overhead as he posed for pics by his star.

    As everyone knows by now, Bobby Flay is in the midst of a heated divorce battle with estranged wife Stephanie March. The Law & Order: SVU star is presently contesting a prenup that states Bobby Flay will pay her $5,000 per month in the event of a divorce.

    Bobby Flay is rumored to have cheated on Stephanie March with an aide named Elyse Tirrell, who worked as a hostess in one of his restaurants prior to becoming his assistant.

    Bobby Flay was also rumored to have had a fling with fellow chef Giada De Laurentiis, but both have denied those allegations.

    Bobby Flay is the first chef ever to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

    It seems someone is far more interested in seeing Bobby Flay take a stroll down that proverbial walk of shame instead.

  • Stephanie March: Did Bobby Flay Cheat On Her?

    Stephanie March and Bobby Flay are getting a divorce, and shortly after he filed papers, word emerged that he had been cheating on the Law & Order: SVU actress. Is this a rumor or is it true?

    According to a report from Us Weekly, Bobby Flay cheated on Stephanie March with 28-year-old Elyse Tirrell, a “singer/actress who worked as a hostess at the chef’s Bar Americain in 2008 and became his assistant.”

    When Bobby Flay was asked about these cheating allegations, he enlisted the help of a rep to reply.

    “We will continue to refrain from responding to the continued efforts by certain parties to spread rumors and innuendo. This specific allegation was in a letter sent from one attorney in this case to the other. It was written and then leaked specifically to try to insert this story into the press, and that’s unfortunate. Even more unfortunate is that all of this is being done in order to renegotiate a prenuptial agreement that was agreed to over a decade ago and never amended during the marriage,” the rep said in a statement issued to Us Weekly.

    It wasn’t so long ago that some sources believed Bobby Flay was having a fling with Giada De Laurentiis.

    Stephanie March has lawyers working on her behalf to contest her prenup with Bobby Flay. That contract states Flay only has to pay March $5,000 per month.

    Maia Madison is a close friend to Stephanie March. She says her friend learned about the cheating rumor back in November.

    “She came to my house and was sobbing uncontrollably. She said, ‘I can’t believe the last 10 years of my life have been a lie,’” Madison explains.

    Bobby Flay’s business partner Laurence Kretchmer said in an interview with Page Six that if Flay had cheated on Stephanie March, he’d have known about it.

    It seems Kretchmar has heard more rumors about Stephanie March and Bobby Flay that will reportedly surface soon.

    “As ugly as Stephanie is going to look [when this news comes out], she will look uglier when other things come out,” he said rather cryptically.

    Do you think Bobby Flay really did cheat on Stephanie March or is there way more to this story?

  • Giada De Laurentiis: A Future With Bobby Flay?

    Giada De Laurentiis was linked in her past to Chef Bobby Flay. Now that Flay has announced he and wife Stephanie March (of Law & Order: SVU fame) are divorcing, might the two become more than friends again? ­Giada De Laurentiis, after all, announced she was divorcing in December–and just days prior to her announcement, she and Bobby Flay were spotted having dinner in Miami.

    Bobby Flay was once linked to actress January Jones as well, although he denies those previous ‘relationships,’ including the one with ­Giada De Laurentiis.

    “It looked like a friendly dinner,” a source said of the two dining together in Miami just four months ago, but added De Laurentiis “definitely had a few drinks.”

    Bobby Flay told Page Six at the time that his dinner with Giada De Laurentiss was nothing more than “two colleagues and old friends had a quick dinner.”

    What do you think? The two would make a very intriguing couple, given their talents–and their good looks, too.

    Stephanie March launched her makeup shop Rouge last year. During a promo, she told Hamptons magazine last summer that Bobby Flay’s work schedule made it hard for the couple to spend quality time together.

    “Bobby has sworn to me, like some sort of dating website, we would take walks on the beach, because last year, I said over and over, ‘Let’s take a walk on the beach.’ This time he says he’s going to follow through.”

    Will Bobby Flay be taking said walk on the beach with Giada De Laurentiis instead?

    They certainly know the direct route to one another’s hearts–via their culinary expertise.

  • Giada De Laurentiis Says Star Tabloid Cheating Claims are Bullsh-t

    Giada De Laurentiis seems to be pissed off. After the Star tabloid ran with a cover story about her recently-announced divorce in which they claimed it was the result of her cheating on her husband, De Laurentiis is firing back.

    When Giada De Laurentiis and husband Todd Thompson announced on Facebook that they were amicably parting, RadarOnline and sister rag Star ran with a story claiming Giada has cheated on Todd with John Mayer, Matt Lauer, and Booby Flay. They also said that there were three men who knew dirt on De Laurenttis that they were going to go public with unless they received a payoff from her.

    Now Gossip Cop, which seems to have a lot of fun poking holes in stories run by Star, has an exclusive statement straight from De Laurentiis.

    “I have never ever been romantically involved with John Mayer. I met him twice at least 5 or 6 years ago at public events along with hundreds of other people.The small amount of face time with John was in rooms filled with other attendees at these events. I have not seen or even heard from him since.The allegation of an affair was a fabrication back in 2010 and remains so today.

    “My long-time friendships with my co-workers Matt Lauer and Bobby Flay are exactly that — long-time friendships.There has never been a romantic relationship with these two men.”

    Star printed that De Laurentiis had an “outburst” at The Standard hotel in New York on December 10 because someone was leaking information about her to the press. De Laurentiis begs to differ.

    “I was not at the Standard Hotel on December 10th. I was on an early morning flight back to Los Angeles, and I have not stayed at the Standard Hotel for at least the last few years.”

    As for the three men supposedly seeking hush money, she says:

    “This is a complete fabrication. There are no men out there making any such claims, and I have never been contacted by anyone.​”

    New York Fashion Week runs February 6 – 13.

  • Giada De Laurentiis Slices Finger During Live Broadcast

    (image)Here’s what you don’t want to do as you carve the Thanksgiving Day turkey.

    Giada De Laurentiis sliced her finger Saturday on live television during the Food Network‘s annual Thanksgiving special. She was slicing a turkey roll when the accident occurred. She briefly left the set to have her wound attended to, and returned 15 minutes later to continue the show.

    “She seemed to go pale and got very quiet putting pressure on it and whispering to Ina that it was bad,” an eyewitness told Radar Online. “She looked like she was about to faint.”

    Other celebrity chefs accompanying De Laurentiis on the holiday-themed special were Alton Brown, Ina Garten and Bobby Flay.

    In response to a fan asking about De Laurentiis because she was unable to watch the show, Brown quipped on Twitter, “we did locate the end of Giada’s left index finger in the stuffing. Rushing to hospital now.”

    De Laurentiis seemed to enjoy this comment, and replied with a smiley face.

    On Saturday during Food Network’s live Thanksgiving special, Giada De Laurentiis had an unfortunate mishap while on set with Ina Garten, Alton Brown and Bobby Flay.

    The Italian-born American Chef happened to cut her finger after her knife slipped while cutting a slice of turkey. By the look on De Laurentiis’ face, the injury was pretty bad.

    “She seemed to go pale and got very quiet putting pressure on it and whispering to Ina that it was bad…She looked like she was about to faint,” an eyewitness reported to RadarOnline.com.

    During commercial break, De Laurentiis went to seek medical attention, in which Brown shared with the viewers after the show had resumed.

    Soon after, she returned on set with a bandaged finger.

    On Twitter, De Laurentiis posted an Instagram photo link revealing just how awful the cut was. However, to make light of the situation, she even added in a cheerful remark.

    De Laurentiis has been on the Food Network since 2002. Her Emmy Award winning daytime show, “Everyday Italian,” features some of her best Italian dishes and recipes.

    A a celebrity chef, De Laurentiis is also known for other media involvements, partnerships and humanitarian efforts.

    • Past appearances on the “Today Show.”
    • Helping international relief organization, Oxfam America, as an enlisted celebrity Ambassador.

    In her most recent TV series, “Giada at Home,” she provides tips on how to prepare meals and successful parties for family and friends.

    As far as we know, this is her first and hopefully her last accident caught on live TV.
