Giuliana Rancic is stepping down as the anchor of E! News next month, though she will stay on as co-host of Fashion Police and Live from the Red Carpet, the network confirmed in a statement.

Rancic added:
    "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. 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."

Earlier this year Rancic was slammed for making controversial remarks about Zendaya's dreadlocks hair at the Oscars, when she said the singer looked like she smelled "like patchouli or weed." That incident led to a very public feud with Fashion Police co-host Kelly Osbourne, who quit the show shortly afterwards. Kathy Griffin, left as well, and though Rancic apologized, the show was postponed until this September.

Earlier this year Rancic was also attacked by critics for her weight loss, which she attributes to the cancer-suppressing medication she's been taking since her battle with breast cancer in 2011. "It's really hurtful," Rancic told People at the time. "Some people were saying, 'The cancer is probably back,' and they were accusing me of every eating disorder."

Wonder where she'll go next? Or will she focus on spending more time with husband Bill and their kids?
