Crazy Hot Italian Mystery

Commenter Nhannie responded to my often asked question about why people think Giada De Laurentiis is a dwarf on one of my older posts:

i ended up here on a "giada dwarf" google search....and i'll tell you why so many people think she is one! she has an enormous head, and really short arms, for the size of her torso.

Okay, I'll grant you the big head thing - though I personally think it's more a matter of having an extremely skinny neck - but I've never noticed the thing about her arms. Though honestly, I don't see how anyone can readily notice anything beyond the schnozz, the crazy eyes and too-wide smile, and, of course, the boobs.
Still, all one really needs to do is just watch the show and have it confirmed that she's not a dwarf.
She frequently interacts with people of "normal" proportions, and the expense of "Giada-sizing" a kitchen, cooking implements, and ingredients if she were a dwarf would hardly be worth it, I should think.
I just can't see looking at her and thinking "dwarf." My initial response was "psycho," based on those crazy eyes and that maniacal smile.
Besides, if you look at the success of Little People, Big World on TLC, it would seem foolish for Food Network to cover up the fact that one of its stars is a little person, as having a dwarf cooking show would likely mean big ratings (pun intended).
And for the record, once again I will state that I've seen her in person and she is not a dwarf.
