Fall TV Report Card: How are the new shows doing?

De Laurentiis briefly left the set to get medical attention, but returned after about 15 minutes with her finger bandaged, according to Radar.

According to her Twitter, De Laurentiis required stitches, but she should heal in about two weeks. Thankfully, she wasted no time making light of her minor injury. She shared a photo of her finger before and after, alongside the caption "an adjustment to my normal mani." She also retweeted a post from Brown, who alerted a worried fan that they had located "the end of Giada's left index finger in the stuffing."
