BREAKING. Giuliana Rancic quits as E! News anchor on E! Entertainment after a decade; will continue to do red carpet awards show coverage.

Giuliana Rancic (40) is done as anchor of E! News on E! Entertainment (DStv 124) after a decade but will stay on with the channel as a panelist when Fashion Police starts again, and will continue to do Live From the Red Carpet coverage for E! Entertainment.

Giuliana Rancic who is quitting E! News will be gone from the entertainment news show in less than a month by Monday 10 August.

The past year has been filled with drama for Giuliana Rancic as controversy keeps swirling around her thin frame and weight issues, and her highly controversial racist remarks about Zendaya's dreadlocked hair on the refashioned Fashion Police after the death of Joan Rivers which saw the show derail and panelists like Kelly Osbourne and Kathy Griffin quit in a conflict-filled meltdown.

Then there's rival Maria Menounos who joined E! Entertainment for specials as well as reporting for E! News and who made no secret behind the scenes that she wants to push Giuliana Rancic out and take over her anchor spot in heated competition.

No word yet from E! Entertainment on who will be replacing Giuliana Rancic next to Terrence Jenkins as daily E! News co-anchor.

Chances are good that E! Entertainment will soon announce that it's Maria Menounos who has been plotting a take-over and who has even done red carpet duty at awards shows in the place of Giuliana Rancic, who is credited with the turn-around of E! News which came to the brink of cancellation a decade ago before she took over as managing editor.

"For more than a decade, I was fortunate enough to play a role in the success of E! News and will miss my family at the show," says Giuliana Rancic in a short statement.

"At the same time, I am excited to not only continue as host of two major franchises on E! but also executive produce the aspirational new show Rich in Faith for Oxygen as well as take my wine and clothing lines to the next level."

"This is such a thrilling time for me and I thank the gang at E! for understanding my desire to embark on this next chapter in my life," says Giuliana Rancic.

Giuliana Rancic previously said she and her husband Bill Rancic wants to move to Chicago permanently sometime this year where they have a house,since their son Duke has to start going to school and the couple has been commuting between Los Angeles and Chicago the past three years.

"During her time here, Giuliana Rancic played an instrumental role in building E! News into a global entertainment news powerhouse and, while we will miss seeing her on set every day, we are delighted to continue to work with her on Fashion Police and Live From the Red Carpet," says Adam Stotsky, E! Entertainment general manager in a statement.

BREAKING. Khanye West trashes E! Entertainment after the Grammy Awards, force E! reporters to remove E! logo from their microphones.

Artist Kanye West went on a rant against E! Entertainment (DStv 124) on Sunday night, dissing E! Entertainment on E! about being distasteful and forced E!'s red carpet reporters to remove the E! logo from their mics after the 57th Grammy Awards.

Kanye West, married to Kim Kardashian, star of the Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality show on E! Entertainment, appeared on the entertainment news and reality TV channel after the conclusion of the 2015 Grammy Awards and scolded E! Entertainment for their branded E! mics during its E! After Party Grammy Awards coverage.

"Who designed these mics? I took the E! off my mic. Okay, we know, it's gonna be E! already! It's gonna be E! at the bottom of the screen right here," Kanye West said motioning to the camera.

"We need to step up the taste level across the board on all networks," he said as he slammed E! Entertainment.

At the Grammy Awards afterparty Kanye West forced E! Entertainment's eNews presenter Terrence Jenkins, as well as Christina Milian, Zanna Roberts Rassi and even Kloe Kardashian to remove the E! logo from their mics.

"Take these off! Take these off right now!" screamed Kanye West.

Terrence Jenkins initially didn't want to but then sheepishly relented. "E! cuts my cheque, let me keep mine, let me keep mine," the eNews reporter said before removing his mic's E! logo.

"They need you! Y'all are the personalities! E! needs y'all! The Kardashians have a percentage of E! That's what I'm saying, they need y'all!" said Kanye West.

WALK-ON ROLE. E! News on E! Entertainment's perfect opener as Terrence Jenkins and Giuliana Rancic do an off-side walk on.

Now this is perfection.

The opener intro of the daily E! News Thursday night at 20:00 on E! Entertainment (DStv 124) was faultless as co-anchors Terrence Jenkins and Giuliana Rancic tried something new: an off-side walk-on, talk intro which they did brilliantly and flawlessly.

Television, like a symphony orchestra, has many different parts which all has to come together.

You might hear one symphony but when its perfect, it's because a lot of different sounds come together correctly at just the right time.

E! News more than pleasantly surprised Thursday night with a terrific off-set, walk on intro, immediately upping the dynamic energy and visual feel of the entire day's broadcast.

Thursday's edition of E! News literally kicked off by bringing the viewer in from the "outside" so to speak, to the inside (making the viewer feel like "the insider").

Notice the perfect backstage studio start to on-set transition. The perfect and constantly adjusting overhead camera angle and the perfect tracking and panning with the jimmy jib.

Notice the anchors placing their hands on the desk at the same time without looking at each other like faultless, synchronised swimmers in a team, the measured, yet natural looking pace of their walking and talking.

Notice the welcoming, complementing to the viewer arm movements and hand gestures which are extroverted, yet not wildly over-the-top as most South African TV presenters over do, and those perfect smiles.

A whole group of people worked together, and their work to make this piece of television was perfect - for all of 9 seconds.

But those 9 seconds are the intro.

Because such a powerful opener manages to "wow" the viewer subconsciously on a visual level, and because the viewer is visually drawn to the dynamic perfection of the scene setting opener, it's my guess that a viewer will most likely will also stay watching.

E! News anchors: The Walking Dead! Strollers! Milkshakes! TV's entertainment newsers reveal their obsessive addictions.

The E! News anchors on E! Entertainment (DStv 124) revealed their obsessive addictions on Thursday night on E! News as anchor Jason Kennedy wore glasses due to an eye infection.

"I am obsessed with The Walking Dead," said E! News anchor Terrence Jenkins. "I can't get enough of that show. I just get glued. I went back and watched the complete first season again. It's just too much. I'm obsessed. I'm a zombie."

Cat Sadler said "I wanted to say Breaking Bad. But not that that's over, I'm back to margeritas, but even those I can't get to because I'm training so much for a half marathon".

Jason Kennedy revealed that he loves milkshakes. 'I've driven to the gym some days in clothes. Stopped to get a milkshake and driven home without working out."

"My addiction is strollers. I'm a stroller hoarder," admitted Giuliana Rancic. "I was at 13 and I'm now at 14 strollers. I'm getting help. One's for travel, one's for the park, one's fancy. One Gwyneth had. I'm not saying I'm proud of it," said Giuliana Rancic.

Jesse Giddings makes his first on-air appearance on E! News as the new correspondent for E! Entertainment.

Jesse Giddings (28) made his first on-air appearance on Friday on E! News as the new correspondent for E! Entertainment (DStv 124).

Jesse Giddings joins E! Entertainment and E! News from Canada where he was a TV presenter.

Giuliana Rancic and Terrence Jenkins officially welcomed Jesse Giddings on Friday evening just before he did his first piece to camera which was his first official day on the job.

"Jesse, you from Canada, fresh to Los Angeles, fresh off the airplane. How do you like it?" asked Terrence Jenkins.

"Well, I hate the sun and pretty people, so I'm very sure I'm in the wrong place," snarked Jesse Jenkins. "I love it and I'm so honoured to join such an amazing team with all of you."

Terrence Jenkins remarked on Jesse Giddings' tattoes visible on the forearms of the former Canadian model who said "it's an ongoing process".

New E! News presenter Terrence Jenkins dance off camera as Giuliana Rancic sarcastically exclaims: 'You still look like a serious journalist'.

In a bizarre display of unprofessionalism, the new E! News presenter Terrence Jenkins on E! Entertainment (DStv 124, weeknights at 21:00) tonight danced right off of camera doing an impression of Psy's "Gangnam Style".

Terrence Jenkins' lame visual joke which went far too far (as far as literally off camera after first inappropriately disappearing behind Giuliana Rancic) followed after Giuliana Rancic goaded her new copresenter to show his "Gangnam Style" moves. Terrence Jenkins was doing his first red carpet duty for E! Entertainment at the 2012 American Music Awards where he interviewed Psy.

"I work for E! now," said Terrence Jenkins. " I've got to be serious now. I'm on TV now."

"Oh. I miss the old Terrence Jenkins," said Giuliana Rancic. "He would have "Gangnam"-ed for me."

"There's no way I'm going to do that, man," he said before popping out a set of sunglasses and busting out the moves.

But suddenly it went all horribly too far. As an anchor and as a presenter, you're the anchor to and for the viewer. If goes the anchor, there goes the viewer's tether.

Terrence Jenkins unprofessionally danced right into the space behind Giuliana Rancic, where even the E! News in-studio cameras could not keep up.

A wide-eyed Giuliana Rancic exclaimed sarcastically: "You still look like a serious journalist."

Then Terrence Jenkins danced off the set, suddenly right past in front of the camera with his back turned to the camera, and away as Giuliana Rancic struggled to maintain control and get through her next link.

Giuliana Rancic back as co-presenter of E! News on E! Entertainment from this week with the new co-presenter Terrence Jenkins.

Giuliana Rancic will be back as the co-presenter of E! News (weekdays, 21:00) on E! Entertainment (DStv 124) returning after a few months of maternity leave.

Giuliana Rancic will return on Monday to E! News after three months of maternity leave, which she cut short in September to do red carpet hosting duties at the 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.

Giuliana Rancic will return to E! News this week and start co-anchoring E! News with a brand-new co-host, Terrence Jenkins, who was named as the replacement for Ryan Seacrest in September.

Giuliana Rancic (37) and her husband Bill Rancic welcomed their new son Edward Duke on 29 August who was born via gestational surrogate and which saw her cancel on an opportunity to visit South Africa.

BREAKING. Terrence Jenkins in, Ryan Seacrest out as the new permanent co-anchor of E! News on E! Entertainment from 12 November.

Ryan Seacrest is out at E! News on E! Entertainment (DStv 124) and Terrence Jenkins is in as the new permanent co-anchor along with Giuliana Rancic and he will start co-presenting for E! News from Monday 12 November.

Terrence Jenkins from BET's 106 & Park will take over from Ryan Seacrest who disappeared earlier this year from E! News.

Meanwhile Jason Kennedy and Cat Sadler has been named the permanent co-anchors of E! News Weekend.

"Having Giuliana and Terrence for the weeknight program and Jason and Catt for weekends, gives us a quartet of skilled, popular broadcast journalists and will give viewers a fun, fresh look at pop culture," says Cyndi McClellan.

"I've always had a passion for the wide spectrum of pop culture that E! News covers so well," says Terrence Jenkins. "I've had a great career so far, and it's all been building towards this."
