Giuliana Rancic has a book out called Going Off Script: How I Survived a Crazy Childhood, Cancer, and Clooney's 32 On-Screen Rejections, and in the book she takes the time to diss her ex-boyfriend Jerry O'Connell.

You might remember him from Scream 2, Jerry Maguire, Sliders, and of course the classic 1986 movie Stand By Me.

Page Six has some exclusive extracts from Giuliana's book, and it's all about her failed romance with Jerry O'Connell in the early 2000s. According to the site, the Fashion Police host dated Jerry after meeting him at the W Hotel in San Diego. Now, she claims, he cheated on her with Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, aka Ginger Spice.

"I was being two-timed for one of the lesser Spices?" she writes. When confronted, Jerry told her, " 'Yeah, I know. I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened.' He had as much emotion as the customer-service representative who tells you your bags missed the flight."

Somehow, Jerry managed to woo her back and the two even discussed marriage. That was until they went to the Maxim 100 Hottest Women party in 2004 and Jerry's wandering eye got the better of him again.

O'Connell wandered off to flirt with another woman: his now-wife, Rebecca Romijn, with whom he has 6-year-old twin daughters, Dolly and Charlie.

Giuliana writes, "Little did I know he was in the VIP area, talking up Rebecca. As a prelude to feeling up Rebecca."

According to Guiliana, afterwards Jerry departed for Las Vegas and stopped returning her calls. When she confronted him at his home, she recalls his response: "Nope. Sorry, homegirl. Things change, but you take care, OK?"

God, we're so glad that Giuliana met Bill Rancic in the end.
