Photos Of Giada At A Book Signing
 |
FNH reader Steve met Giada at a book signing this weekend, and was nice enough to send us some photos from the event. Steve said Giada was “lovely” and “personable”, and “more petite” than she appears on television. I’ll say! In the photo of her signing the boy’s cast, it looks like there’s hardly any difference in size between her upper and lower arm. That thing could snap off in a stiff breeze! Somebody feed that woman some MOT-ZUH-RELL-UH, pronto!
Thanks for the photos, Steve!

nice! It’s always fun to see them outside of their normal environment. But what the hell is up with her face? Why is it so, frozen like that? She looks like my grandmother after she had her stroke (God forbid).
Better she should snarl at the people buying her book?
LOL!!! I wonder if the boy got a good look at her cleavage as she leaned over the table? I’m actually surprised she didn’t have more of it exposed in the first place!
Giada just seems like a nice woman. I’ve cooked a few of her things, and hated ‘em, but as far as FN personalities go, she’s among my favorites. Glad to hear she wasn’t a real bitch in person.
But Dave, man, you’re right. Is it just a bad photo or is her face really that Botoxed looking?
Ben, you are gorgeous. Several of us on here would like your avatar to be bigger! :)
I concur.
i just blew up his avatar – you ain’t kidding – the man is SMOKING!
I’ve made several of her recipes and they were all delicious, economical and healthy.
That being said, however, my tits are easily twice as big as hers. Why don’t you cum and defend me?
my pointless 2 cents: she looks like a chipmunk
Pull up your PAN-TAH-LOOOOOO-NEE, Giada.
No no no, that’s one of her selling points!
I just have to say it was a great day and she was incredibly nice and personable.
Regarding her chimpmunk cheeks…I noticed that too. Not botox. Botox doesn’t do that. What does are facial “fillers” such as Radiesse or Juvederm. A little confusing though, because Giada is much too young to have fillers added to her face. Usually people of advanced years have that done to fill out the face to compensate for what time has taken away.
She is 40, but I think since she is so thin and also fair, she might have aged faster. As far as her niceness, I hear it runs in the family. I went to school with two people that knew her family members very well, and they both had nothing but incredibly nice things to say about the kindness and genuiness of the family.
Ummm, she ain’t too young to be using Botox I’m afraid. And, being from California it’s almost a requirement. Uhhh, 40 “is” advanced years in West coast land. Nice to know she’s as nice in person as she actually seems to be on the tube. I have fun making fun of her but she never seemed all that bad–just the FrItalian-speak.
After watching her shows, especially “Giada at Home”, I am convinced that she’d never use something like Botox. She comes off as a very high maintenance type of person who takes her beauty rituals as seriously as her cooking, and would consider Botox a travesty. She does the yoga, has great skin, and is always talking about her spa visits and crap like that. She just doesn’t seem the type.
Again….IF she was using something, the product wouldn’t be Botox. Botox paralyzes the muscles thereby relaxing wrinkles and making them disappear. It has nothing to do with fullness. Giada’s cheeks did look plump, which would only come from a filler like Radiesse or Juvederm…a filler. NOT Botox people. Totally different thing. And although people do it, 40-ish people really don’t have the need for fillers yet. It’s only when you get into really advanced years that you start losing fat from the face and have the “hollow” look that comes with age. Ask Joan Rivers. :-) People do use Radiesse and Juvederm to plump up the “laugh lines”, which Giada would have. But much older people have volumes of it injected into what is now the hollows of their cheeks, where the fullness used to be.
I’m sorry, but that’s just delusional thinking. Look, if she’s vain enough to get that boob job, I think she’d go for a few botox injections no prob.
She didn’t get a boob job, YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!
Looks like she’s dealing crack to that woman behind her.
Giada was really sweet when I met her several years ago, when her 1st book came out. She is miniature, I’m only 5’4″ she must be under 5’0″. Looks like someone is using botox and it’s scary!
fake smiling ftw!
She looks like Popeye in that pic.
She’s strong to the finnage ‘casue she eats her SPIN-NAYCH

he he he
Oh, hey, maybe that’s why she likes Olive Oil so much!
Nice down-blouse picture taking, grunge kid!
Nice pink shirt, stalker guy!
Thanks for sharing your photos, Steve. Nice work.
Thanks CherryRose. As you can read, some people (name required) have to be asses about it.
screw ‘em , ralsteve…very kind of you to share your pics, they are much appreciated! ;)
holy smokes! that bobble head and tortured grin. it’s her no doubt.
why no cleavage? hunh?
She looks like Marlee Matlin’s bloated, non-hearing impaired younger sister. But she does seem like a nice woman, gratuitous boob-bearing and all.
I meant boob-baring. Suddy.
Read somewhere she prefers eating food she’s prepared and her ‘diet’ consists of only eating 1-1/2 cups max of whatever she’s eating. She still qualifies for Bratz Doll proportions — large head, miniscule body.
I read that she stays so slim by only eating two bites of anything, and by working out like a fiend.
That reminds me, the Chairman from Iron Chef (the young one who eats the apple) said in an interview that he only allows himself to eat two bites of each thing on his plate, and he only drinks water and tea. I imagine he works out like a fiend, too. But martial arts, I would guess.
Hmmm…..maybe they are on to somethibg with that two-bite rule…
Good Lord. Why even bother to go to all the trouble for the expensive ingredients and spend the time and care for preparation for two bites? And not regular-size bites at that, probably. Granted, I can stand to lose a few, but good food is one of life’s great joys. I’m not going to get dressed up, go to a gourmet restaurant and spend the money for a well-prepared meal to sit there and pick at it. If I have to starve myself to that degree to be skeletally thin, then I’ll never be that thin again. She refuses to eat but has built an entire career around preparing food. Even if she’s not anorexic or bulimic, that’s just messed up.
I’ll get you my pretty and you little meatball to
I met Giada back in 2005 and I have to say she is a lovely and sweet lady. I told her about how her recipes remind me of the ones that my Italian grandmother used to make, and Giada gave me a big hug and thanked me. She is absolutely beautiful in person, very petite and very thin and her smile lights up the room.
This just in: Giada is petite and thin, and has a big smile that lights up rooms.
Get a life and a name, will ya? Really brave of you to mouth off so anonymously.
This just in: Flyby trolls with no names can’t stand the heat, hang around the kitchen anyway, and get burned.
Thanks Steve! I think she would be fun to be bad with!
Hey Steve, can you get some Kate Gosselin book signing pics?
Not on your life!
I can’t believe you’re making fun of Giada’s looks! My husband and his friends always sit and stare when she’s on the TV. Not many other women on TV would cause a man to stop in his tracks, so I would say she is pretty incredible.
We’ve all taken bad pictures, and based on other pictures of Giada, she’s not very photogenic. My guess is that this expression doesn’t have to do with Botox, but just catching her at the wrong moment.
Making fun of all the FNH personalities is a big part of what we do here on FNH, Valerie. This is very mild compared to the usual comments. ;^)
I agree that she was caught at the perfectly worst moment. Even pretty people have preferred angles.
Oops…..meant to say making fun of all the FN personalities. :^)
Heheh…oh, make no mistake, we make fun of the FNH personalities here, too!
True, but the favorite targets are on the FN. ;)
Not sure her looks is what is what makes your husband stop in his tracks. Could have something to do with CLEAVAGE!
Yes, I think the cleavage might have something to do with it. A male friend of mine watches just hoping that she’ll be whisking something that day.
Oh yea you have to love that
two bites? crikey! i am at the gym 6 days a week to stay in my size 2′s but c’mon, two bites??
i tell people i could lose 5 pounds in a week if i stopped drinking but if you think i’m a bitch now, w/o vodka i’d be mean as a snake! (skinnier, but hell on wheels, wheeee!!)
AMEN, sista! couldn’t have said it better myself! ;)
Thank you for sharing the photos and story, Steve. She’s smiling and making eye contact with the people for whom she’s signing autographs, and seems like a genuinely nice person. I’m glad you enjoyed your visit with her, brief as it was.
Steve, thanks for sharing the pics with us. Much appreciated. And I think it’s great that you made her feel comfortable enough to ask, “hey Steve, umm…don’t be obvious about it, but do I have something in my teeth? That last guy (Name Required), kept looking at my mouth in a really creepy way.”
Ha ha! Good one, Moe.
Look at Giada leaning over for the little kids too!
I honestly like Giada. As far as FN hosts go, she is one of the more personable and I do enjoy a lot of her recipes.
As far as the odd expression, it might be the angle. Being somebody who cannot have a decent picture taken of her even if my life depended on it…this isn’t so bad. ;)
Errr…I was talking about myself not being able to take a decent pic, not Giada. duh
Okay, you got a point her arm, but what up with you zooming in on the one shot at a bad angle that makes her look like she has Bell’s Palsy? I know, you’re jealous of Giada’s hoots, but come on, already!
“… a point ABOUT her arm” I meant.
Hey, ralsteve, noticed you had your delts, biceps, triceps, and brachioradialis, etc. all buldging out there infront of Giada. But, come to think of it, I don’t think you could help it. They probably just buldge wherever you go, am I right? You crazy weight lifter, you. Yeah, I still think she looks hideous (I probably look worse), and I’m sure she is as sweet as pie, but I’m not here kiss anyones ass, especially Giada’s.
Spatuler, if you read the Forums here, you’ll see that Steve is not a weight-lifter. Check them out…..
Yeah, seriously, lay off the criticisms of Steve. He’s a great guy and he’s well loved on the FNH forums.
Thanks Betty Crocker and cloverleaf! I don’t think Spatuler was attempting to be unkind. But they’re right, Spatuler. I don’t lift weights. I do work out. I religiously do my crunches, my push-ups, squats and the most expensive piece of equipment I own is an old pull-up bar. :-)
I just think Spatuler’s sarcasm was being misread. And for the record, you do have killer arms, Steve!
Oh shit. I’m such a failure when it comes to all the FNH forums. Apparently. I’m such a fucking loser. Well, I got shit to do..and that includes sleeping…see ya later!
Come join us on the forums, I think you’d fit right in.
Well, you’re not here to kiss anyone’s ass…..but if you come into the forums, you’ll find really good company who share your sassiness. ;^)
Is it just me because she doesn’t look like she has boobs in those pics? Maybe it’s the camera angle because definitely has them on the show. Perhaps she forgot her push bra that day.
My face looked like that last year when I had Bell’s Palsey
It looked like she had an abcessed tooth.
Nice photos.
Need more BOOBAGE, though.
She is absolutely terrifying looking, and I still think she looks like a giant pez dispenser
That last close-up is downright frightening! She looks like a stroke victim!
Looks like some kind of allergic reaction to me.
What the hell is wrong with her smile. Yuck.
Well, you’re not here to kiss anyone’s ass…..but if you come into the forums, you’ll find really good company who share your sassiness. ;^)
thats sad shes usually a pretty person
She looks constipated….. D:
I love her recipes, I’ve made several and they are always well-received by my husband and guests.
Fake smile alert!!!
Glad I’m not the only one who noticed that the right upper lip of Everyday Tramp often goes straight up – as if she’s had a stroke. I wouldn’t doubt it considering her annorexia and/or full time diet of chocolate, sugar and simple syrup. Also notice that when she laughs, she HAS TO throw her head back to hold in her dentures. This tramp is easily packing some 70 to 80 teeth. Easily.
lol, there’s no difference between my upper arm and lower arm either. some people are just tiny like that.
Giada’s surprisingly meaty if you look at her. She’s small boned (hold jokes, other things til the end, please), but she’s flabby and her arms look like sausages.
