At war! LeAnn Rimes, right, is furious that slender E! host Giuliana Rancic, left, commented on her weight loss
Giuliana Rancic may be a size zero, but that hasn't stopped her from criticising a fellow skinny star.
Country music star LeAnn Rimes, 29, was left fuming today after the 36-year-old E! host commented on her weight.
The outburst comes after Rancic gave an interview yesterday about the new Italian restaurant in Chicago she is planning to open with husband Bill.
The TV star told the publication that the celebrity that she would most like to feed was Rimes.
'She lost a lot of weight from all the stress in her life,' she said. 'She seems a little thin right now, and I think she looks great when she's a bit curvier.'
A livid LeAnn immediately took to her Twitter to fire back.
The singer even invited Giuliana out to dinner in the sarcastic post.
hey, we should go to dinner sometime. 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.....oh, & then we should workout together! Good luck with your restaurant!!!!,' she wrote.
And the tweets didn't stop there.
On the defence: Meanwhile Giuliana, pictured here in February this year, has also been busy defended her weight loss
LeAnn then went on to explained her outburst to her curious fans.
I just don't appreciate her comments,' Rimes said in a followup tweet, 'so I really would love for her to hang with me, see who I am. I am a person, you know.'
Rimes has shocked observers in recent months by appearing increasingly skinnier yet constantly defending her appearance via Twitter messages.
In May, the Grammy award winner hit back about her weight, after a Glasgow-based Twitter follower wrote that the star looked ‘scary skinny'.
Rimes jumped straight on the defence, saying: ‘Those are called abs not bones love.’
She then went on to say: ‘Thx but this is my body and I can promise you I'm a healthy girl. I'm just lean. Thx for your concern but no need to be.’
And it wasn't the first time the figure-conscious star has turned to Twitter to defend her body issues.
In April she took a photograph of her bare stomach and long legs while lounging around with husband Eddie Cibrian, with the caption, 'First sun!!!!! SPRING!!!'
In another posting she wrote, 'Dear lord! I do not work out too much nor do I starve myself. I'm so over this and moving on.'
Meanwhile Rancic has also been busy defended her weight loss.
'I work in a really superficial industry,' she told Us Magazine last year.
'It's enough to drive any girl a little crazy.'
And early this year after she was criticized for being too skinny to carry a baby, the TV host was also furious.
'It's unbelievable to me the amount of ignorant comments that come in and it's just uninformed ignorant people,' she said.
'Rachel Zoe is pregnant! To all the haters, get informed! Go Google it...it has nothing to do with anything,' she told Radar online.
'There are thin girls with infertility issues, normal sized girls with infertility issues and overweight girls with infertility issues,' she said.
'Unless your doctor tells you your weight is affecting you in some way...once the doctor rules it out, that's really not it.'
