In this episode: Giuliana Rancic stops by to chat with Ali about life with her husband, Bill Rancic, and their 8-month old baby boy, Duke. Giuliana, who struggled with infertility, is now fully enjoying parenthood. However, she acknowledges that her husband is more of a natural.

“Bill is such an incredible father, and just seeing him day in, day out with Duke, I could even say that he might be a better parent than I am,” she says. “Now will Bill always be better? Not necessarily.”

Ali asked about the comment Giuliana made earlier this year that she puts her marriage first and her child second. “Children thrive in a household where the parents’ relationship is strong. The child feels safe. And the child feeling safe allows them to be creative and be courageous and confident.”

So how do they keep their relationship strong with busy careers and an 8-month-old? “We check in,” says Giuliana, explaining that they make time during the day to let each other know what’s going right and what

Before MTV’s Jersey Shore, Vinny Guadagnino was an anonymous college kid considering a law career. Now, six seasons later, he’s practically a household name, and he’s got his own spinoff show. But, he tells Ali, he didn’t always enjoy the ride.

“I hated filming it,” he says. “You film 24 hours, there’s cameras in the ceiling watching you sleep. You don’t have a camera, you don’t have a TV, you don’t have a cellphone. You can’t read, you can’t write.”

That doesn’t mean Vinny’s not grateful. “The opportunity that it brings is amazing and I got real friends from it.”

His new MTV show, The Show with Vinny, is one such opportunity. He interviews celebrities at the home he shares with his mother and sisters.

“I make sure that they eat, Vinny interviews them, and we have a nice time,” says mom Paola.

So why, with all his success, does Vinny still live with his mom?

“We grew up in a really small apartment,” Vinny remembers. “Then I wanted her in my sisters to move into a big house. So I

When it’s time for the seasonal closet purge, we all fall prey to sentimental attachments or simple procrastination.

So to help you start the closet purge, Ali sat down with Today Show Style Editor Bobbie Thomas, author of, “The Power of Style: Everything You Need to Know Before You Get Dressed Tomorrow.”

Bobbie brought three items to make the clothes you don’t purge look better and last longer, including shapewear she swears by, "Skinny Britches." It’s a thin fabric slip that gives great support under light summer fabrics.

But as for the tough decisions on what to get rid of, “I have a system that’s called ‘Yes, No, Maybe,’” Bobbie explained. First, “take everything out so that the closet is empty.”

“Ask yourself, and try to keep a beat, ‘Yes? No? Maybe?’

A ‘Yes’ item is one of your favorites, that you absolutely wear all the time and can’t live without.

A ‘No’ is stained, ripped, or just doesn’t ever ge

New Yorkers know Pat Kiernan as the morning anchor on NY1. Among other things, he reads and analyzes the morning papers for a popular segment called, “In The Papers.” But on this episode of Daily Shot, Pat talks about his second gig as host of CNBC’s, ‘Crowd Rules,’ and tells Ali how his show helps mom and pop shops with its reality show format.

Struggling small businesses compete for a $50,000 prize, and the winner is decided by audience vote. In last week’s food-themed episode, a hot sauce company beat out a pickle store and a family-owned dessert business.

Pat says the one mistake small business owners make is not having a focus. “Focus on one thing and go after it. Don’t have a bunch of non-profitable products.”

The strangest business he’s ever heard of? “We had one on the show that’s an ice cream truck that has a stripper pole on the top of it, called ‘Aphrodisiac Ice Cream.’”

Pat was then kind enough to take some of the women’s magazines we had lying around the office and giv

How long do you think you could go without looking at yourself in the mirror? Kjerstin Gruys describes her 365 days mirror-free in her memoir "Mirror, Mirror Off The Wall: How I Learned to Love My Body By Not Looking At It For A Year."

It started about six months before her wedding, when she was shopping for wedding dresses. The more she shopped, the more critical of her body she became. Eventually, she thought 'I'm not headed in a direction I feel good about.'

So she decided to change her focus by giving up mirrors for a year. She covered up the mirrors in her house. At work, she knew exactly which bathroom stall to use so she could avoid catching herself in the mirror. She trusted friends to let her know when she had spinach in her teeth.

"But," Ali said, "you see yourself in reflections?"

"There's a difference between seeing and looking," Kjerstin replied, "That's a really important difference."

"Is there one physical trait that you're kinder to yourself about now?" Ali asked.

"Stom
