Rachael Ray had a little fun with late-night talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel, who she taught to “cook on a budget.”  As you can imagine, this was far more humorous than helpful.  When she asked him what his favorite meal was, he listed off so many foods that she actually stopped him and said that he had named several dishes and, instead, suggested she teach him how to make a spaghetti and meatball supper.
Rachael’s tips for saving money include shoplifting and, at one point, she even tells Jimmy that he should wear a bra.  They were in a real grocery …read more

It was a fun night watching the Daytime Emmy Awards last night.  Did you catch the show?  If not, here’s a quick rundown of how our shows and hosts fared.

I wasn’t surprised at all to see that the Tyra Banks Show won the “informative” talk show award since she is constantly trying to push the envelope to educate her viewers whether it’s a giant stuffed vagina or having pregnant prostitutes on the show to tell their stories.  She really has carved out a niche for herself and I’m really happy for her.

The Rachael Ray show won the “entertainment” talk show …read more

After postponing it to try a new alternative therapy, talk show host, Rachael Ray, has had surgery on her vocal chords.
Her rep told People:  "After several months of vocal therapy and on the advice of her doctors, Rachael decided to have a benign cyst removed from her vocal cord.  According to Rachael’s doctors the minor, non-invasive procedure was a success and she is already resting at home… the hardest part for Rachael is going to be giving her voice a rest for the next week or so.”
I can’t imagine Rachael Ray without her mouth running non-stop.  She must be …read more

Rachael Ray is many things – an author, a successful chef, talk show host, cookware creator and wife – but she’s never become a mother.  Of course, in our society, when we hear about a woman who chooses not to have children, we wonder why she would make that kind of decision (we also wonder if she and/or her  partner is infertile).
In an interview on Nightline, she addressed the touchy subject: “I think that I’m 40 years old, and I have an enormous amount of hours that have to be dedicated to work. For me personally, I would need …read more

After improving 29% since last May, the Rachael Ray Show has been renewed through the 2011-2012 season which is a big deal in this economy.  So many shows are dealing with cutbacks and cancellations so the young chef should be more than happy with this news.
I read in the Broadcasting and Cable article that many recognize what a valuable asset Rachael can be.  Not only is her show great but she makes a real effort to work with local stations and, of course, she cultivates advertising partnerships by “integrating them seamlessly into the show.” It helps create revenue which …read more

Google has launched a new project called iGoogle Showcase and it looks pretty cool from what I can tell.  Basically, it’s a collection of links to the personalized iGoogle homepages of celebrities and features some of their favorite content.  Among the growing list of stars on iGoogle are daytime talk show hosts, Martha Stewart and Rachael Ray.  
What’s on their iGoogle pages?  Martha created an iGoogle theme just for her beloved dogs, she has a picture of them on her Picasa gadget and she reads O’Reilly’s Radar to keep up with what’s happening in the world of technology.  Her other …read more

I’ve heard some people claim that there is a rivalry between Giada DeLaurentiis and her fellow TV chef, Rachael Ray but the petite Italian chef told Redbook that there is no truth to those rumors (the June issue comes out on Tuesday).
"Do we hang out all the time? No. Are we best friends? No," Giada said. "We do these festivals together, and she’ll say to me, ‘Oh, we’d better take a picture together and smile, because if we don’t, God only knows what’s going to get written about us.’  She’s a lovely person."
I’m glad she said something because …read more

At last, the nominees for this year’s Daytime Emmy Awards have been announced! Of course, some of our favorite talk shows and talk show hosts have been nominated so here is a list of some of the categories and nominations.
The Ellen DeGeneres Show has by far taken the crown for the most amount of nominations this year with over six of them! Rachael Ray and Dr. Phil got a good amount as well. Who are you rooting for? I have no idea who’s going to win for Outstanding Talk Show. It’s quite a close match, so it should be …read more

Talk show host, Rachael Ray, is planning to host another party at this year’s South By Southwest Music and Media Conference in Austin, Texas.

So far, the New York Dolls, The Hold Steady and Ra Ra Riot have been announced as performers at Ray’s food and music party on March 21, 2009.  I wish I was going.  Sounds like it’s going to be a lot of fun and you know the food is going to be great!

I wanted to put up the video of Hilary Duff’s appearance on the Rachael Ray show but the whole interview wasn’t available right away.  Anyway, Rachael started by telling Hilary how great she smells and thanked her for giving her some bottles of her fragrance “With Love.” 
Rachael mentioned that Hilary is often described as being wholesome and cute and asked if the singer/actress wanted to change her image a bit since she is now 21 years old.  I’ve actually wondered about this myself since I’ve noticed how mature Hilary seems lately (she’s come a long way since her days …read more
