Want a recipe for disaster? Slam Oprah
Kitchen queen Rachael Ray took a big ol’ bite from the hand that feeds her and reportedly made drunken disparaging remarks about Oprah Winfrey during the time her “Rachael Ray” show was being sold.
A spy witness dished to TMZ.com that the red wine-fueled rant occured at a dinner in La-La back in December 2005 after a day of signing books at a mall bookstore.
After four glasses of wine, Ray started talking trash about Oprah, who had actually launched Ray’s cooking career on her show.
Sources told TMZ that a tipsy Ray became “extremely loud and aggressive” while telling them about a portrait of Oprah from the movie “Beloved” that hangs in the lobby of Harpo Productions in Chicago. It shows Winfrey wearing a slave-era skirt, her back swollen with scars.
“Why is she wearing slave drag?” the pint-sized personality said. “She obviously has problems being black.”
But her soused spite was hardly satiated with Oprah.
While the Food Network vixen told her pals that she adored Jennifer Aniston, she thought Brad Pitt was a “(bleep)y boy” for leaving the “Friends” star for Angelina Jolie, to whom she referred as “a skanky, backdoor (c-word).”

I love to watch Rachel's Food Network shows...I cannot tolerate the bilge Oprah shovels.
Reminds me of the age-old question, "Ginger or Mary Ann?"
Hmmm...Oprah or Rachel...?
A tipsy Rachel Ray? Now that's something that would be worth admission.
I think there is a website devoted to hating ra-ray.
From TMZ
"...Sources say she told the group how much she liked Jennifer Aniston and then called Brad Pitt a "p***y boy." But her harshest comments were reserved for Angelina Jolie, calling her "a skanky, backdoor c**t.".."
Rachael's continued use of her hands all the time drives me crazy.
I prefer to watch Paula Deen, Barefoot Contessa or even Tyler Florence.
Well, she has a point.....
:D
You're welcome.
Why? She was born a poor black child. :)
She can play a 14 year old unwed mother and crack head if she wants.
"I cannot tolerate the bilge Oprah shovels."
Me too, it's such mindless TV and so many of America's women (primarily) watch that stuff. But Rachel Ray, I don't know about you, but the incredible media push to shove this moderate talent into our consciousness has been absurd. Everywhere you look, every magazine, all over the net, and for what? What has she done, other than be just another run-of-the-mill, pseudo-celebrity on the Food Network, where there is really only one genuine talent in the mix, Emeril.
Glad somebody got it. :)
I think the fact that Rachel is not a "culinary giant" is precisely why people like her. Her stuff is attainable.
Emeril has charisma, and I love to watch him but my all time favorite is Alton Brown. AB absolutely rocks! I love his approach to cooking, and he seems like a genuine guy with whom I'd really like to sit down and drink coffee.
whoa Lord, pick a bale of cotton, whoa Lord, pick a bale of hay

Navin: "It's like I don't fit in. It's like I don't belong here."
Mother: "It's your birthday, and it's time you knew. Navin, you're not our natural born child."
Navin: "I'm not?"
Mother: "You were left on our doorstep. But we raised you like you were one of us."
Navin: "You mean I'm going to stay this color? (Navin cries)"
Mother: "Navin, I'd love you if you were the color of a baboons ass. (Navin and his mom hug. Taj walks in.)"
She's Italian.
