Giuliana Rancic and LeAnn Rimes might be headed for a showdown -- and there won't need to be a weigh-in for this one!

The heat stems from Rancic's recent comments about Rimes' slight physique, after the 35-year-old E! host told The Huffington Post she thinks the bikini-loving singer needs to put some meat on her bones.

"She lost a lot of weight from all the stress in her life," Rancic told the website. "She seems a little thin right now and I think she looks great when she's a bit curvier."

Rimes was none too happy, calling out Rancic on Twitter quicker than you can say “Brandi Glanville.”

She wrote, "@GiulianaRancic 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.

"Then we should workout together! Good luck with your restaurant!!!!"

When one of Rimes' followers asked the singer to clarify her comments, Rimes softened her stance, tweeting: "I just don't appreciate her comments, so I really would love for her to hang with me, see who I am.

"I am a person you know."

Giuliana & Bill airs on The Style Network Mondays at 8/7c.

Get over yourself Giuliana! LeAnn's talented/beautiful. What can you/have you done besides trash people and make comments on a subject that you have absolutely no expertise on. LeAnn looks great!

LeAnn looks healthy. I don't know why there's such a fuss over her weight! When she was carrying a few extra pounds, people called her fat! Time to leave her alone. If she's happy why can't others be happy for her?

Seems to me that Guiliana is waaaaaaay skinnier than Leann. It's odd that she can see another's weight issues but not her own. I wonder if she'd get it if she was told that she's far skinnier than Leann?

Leann is a cheating psycho. She should find something to do so she keeps off twitter. Talk about an over reaction to a gently put comment.

What did Rancic say that is rude? I'm wondering why Rimes has conflict with so many people. Didn't she even sue her own father? I think Rimes needs to step back & look at reality. Your body looks anorexic thin vs. healthy thin. Truth can hurt!

I think that Leann is so defensive about her weight because she has to keep it off and look "sexy" in order to keep her squinty husband interested, or so she fears. She never cared before, until she stole Brandi's husband.

One of the signs of an eating disorder (or drug problem) is over-reacting to gracious advice. LeAnn should take note.

Giuliana is nutty in the head, seriously. She has MAJOR issues when it comes to food. Who is she to comment on someone elses weight? She's smaller than LeAnn! The reason she couldn't get pregnant is because she refused to gain weight! She's an idiot.

I can't wait to see how Leann handles herself when Eddie moves onto the next new thing. Giuliana is not my favorite person, but just because she is creepy thin doesn't mean she can't comment on another one's weight.
