The day adorable Selena Gomaez went on Rachaels' show, she announced that she thought Cloris Leachman was HOT!
And that she has a crush on her!

( more )
I love Cloris . She is a hoot and funny and crazy. I don't think she is hot and we just learned one of Rachael's nightmares.

A freaking 82 year old is hot????????? Like maybe thinking Hugh Hefner is hot is one thing cause he's a guy but this is too much info for me.

Rachael physically PUSHED the 1st guest around. How RUDE.

She always seriously asked Selena would do her dishes that were backstage.

And she ADMITTED THAT SELENA GOMEZ was 16 adn SMARTER THAN HER!

That's true. Selena has class. Why would she go on her shw? WTF!

where is everyone btw?????????

So, several RR fans have left bad reviews after receiving their Garbage Bowls from QVC:

Disappointed in Quality
"I thought this was going to make a really awesome addition to my Tuscan themed kitchen as well as being really useful during lunch and dinner preparation.

However, my bowl arrived in about 10 pieces. There was no packaging around the bowl to cushion it during transport. The box it was shipped in was not damaged and therefore makes me question the quality of the bowl if it were dropped during everyday use.

As much as I wanted to love it - sorry QVC!"

Broken
"My bowl arrived in broken pieces. Certainly not as sturdy as promised. I called and was given a refund as QVC is always fair to the customer. Rachael Ray is a favorite of mine but this bowl isn't."

Disappointed
"I purchased two of these and one came in broken. I purchased one for my son and daughter-in-law because they live out in a rural area and have a septic tank and, of course, no garbage disposal. The bowl had no protective packaging which goes to reason it will most likely get broken during shipping. Looking at the one that made it, the quality is poor. I am not sure about anyone else, but I expected a thicker bowl and it is not very big. It is a very cute concept but I think the makers need to go back to the drawing board and make a few adjustments. I doubt I will give the one that made it as a gift, I am afraid it will break easily."

Arrived Broken
"Wow, I thought mine was the only one broken but apparently this is a common problem Would of been a good a idea but, arrived in 3 pieces. Very disappointed. Quality assurance let this one slip through."

Disappointed as well
"Like three of the others who reviewed this bowl, mine arrive in pieces due to the fact it was simply put 'naked' into the box and shipped. If the bowl weren't so thin and brittle, it might've been able to withstand shipping better. I'd do better going to a big discount store and buying a bowl with no name recognition but good quality. Rachel, I love you and you're still my fave but something needs to be done about this bowl."

broken
"I WAS SO EXCITED TO GET THIS BOWL, BUT MINE WAS ALSO BROKEN. I CANT IMAGINE THAT THEY WOULDNT HAVE ATLEAST BUBBLE WRAPED THIS OR SOMETHING. MINE WAS IN SO MANY PIECES AND I WAS SO DISSAPOINTED. THE WORKMAN SHIP WAS VERY POOR. IN MY OPINION . BECAUSE SEVERAL YEARS AGO I PURCHASED A BOWL VERY SIMULAR TO THIS AND IT WAS AT A VERY INEXPENSIVE STORE. I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER. SORRY....."

I hate her. I simply hate her.

I just happened to turn the TV on during tonight's first 30MM and heard her say "handy-pasto" for her oh-so-clever antipasto that's thrown on pizza dough so you can eat it out of your hand. Isn't she clever?

Hope she chokes on an olive from her 'handy-pasto'. Dumbass.

Rachael Ray will be on QVC tonight. I know I will definitely be watching.

The Dish with Rachael Ray

She will be on from 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM (Eastern Time)

Did anyone catch her on QVC this morning? Her portion of "In the Kitchen with Bob" is ending right now, but I think she'll be on later today for a full hour. She looks FAT, and she kept interrupting him. It was so awkward!

I'm watching 30MM and RR is making her stupid Indian take out food (of course she just adds a couple Indian spices and then calls it Indian food), and I've realized, she cannot say "coriander" or "cumin", she must say "nice bright coriander" and "nice smoky cumin". For the love of god, JUST SAY "CORIANDER" AND "CUMIN". PLEASE.

P.S. She also said that when she orders Indian take out she requests that they go easy on the oil. Yeah, because you don't use too much oil in your food when you make it at home at all. She is such a hypocrite.

I took these stills while watching then Rectal one one of her 30 minutes disasters.

discuss.

This candy is made in PA, it's been my favorite since I was a teenager. I was horrified to see this email in my inbox today, from Gardner's Candies with this picture inside it.

Someone please let me strangle the bitch! She has just made me not to want to ever buy any Gardner's candy again.

sorry if you guys have already seen this, I haven't been on for a bit :)

Yay, RR is doing hair removal for menz.

I'm SO glad I tuned in today.

I knew this day would eventually come, but I am still shocked and appalled. Now she truly is everywhere.

From the QVC newsletter that was e-mailed to me today:

How funny is it that they misspelled her name? LOL!!!!

Rachael Ray Will Never Give Up on her Burger Joint

Meat-lover Rachael Ray hasn't given up on her dream of opening up a hamburger pub in midtown. She's been talking about it for years now, but you really want to believe her (or stop her) when she tells the Post, "I'm going for a '60s back-in-the-day Rat Pack-y kind of hangout, and I want the bar to be really central [and] the burgers to become a very social thing. I want people to come to the bar to see beautiful proper martinis being made and to enjoy some sliders."

The subject came up as Ray was promoting Friday's Wine & Food Festival Burger Bash in DUMBO. She's hosting the event, which features sixteen chefs—including Tom Colicchio, David Burke, and Al Roker—competing for the title of city's best burger baron. But they're going to have their work cut out for them to impress Ray; she says, "I've always been partial to the Whopper - no mayonnaise, add mustard. In California, I love In-N-Out." Those are good burgers, Rachael.

Okay, we tuned in Rachael's Vacations yesterday because it was on Park City, Utah, a place we just love.  (And which was also on $40DD).  I must admit I was thrilled they featured the best pizza place in town -- the white pizza is to die for.  BUT -- why isn't this show called Rachael's and John's Vacation? There he was, scary-looking chin growth and all, in every shot!  And they actually featured the Cringe at the end?  Perhaps more scary than the cringe was the faces thta Retchel made when she was being a band groupie.  I only wish i'd had a creen capture for you all to illustrate.  I want to see food and things to do, not Jahhn's band!  Sheesh!

This is my first of what I hope will become many recipe posts, my further recipe posts will depend on whether or not you all like them. Want to hear your feedback.

You will need:
1 to 1-1/2 lbs. large shrimp (16 to the lb. are good, peeled and deveined)
1 good quality Spanish Chorizo sausage
1 medium/large yellow onion
1 to 1-1/2 stalks celery with leaves
1 green bell pepper
1 16 oz. can of Italian plum tomatoes whole or crushed (if whole you will crush them by hand, lots of squishy fun!)
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. dried basil
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro (loosly packed)
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (or to taste, I like mine piqante)
1 to 1-1/2 tbs. olive oil

Procedure:

Cut chorizo into quarters lengthwise then into 1/4" slices
Coarse chop onion, celery and bell pepper
In a 12" saute pan or preferably cast iron skillet heat olive oil and brown chorizo slightly, add onion, celery and bell pepper and "sweat" vagetables slightly. Add tomatoes, oregano, basil, cilantro and cayenne pepper. Add a little water to thin and simmer until sauce rethickens, this gives enough time for the flavors to come together. Cook until pretty thick because when you add the shrimp they give up a lot of liquid. Add shrimp when sauce is thick and simmer high until shrimp are opaque.

Serve over some nice fluffy white rice.

Buen Provecho!!!

Love,

Gringorican

From People Magazine:

Rachael Ray is shooting down reports that she had a throat cancer scare and is about to be silenced for two months by surgery. The bubbly Emmy winning talk show host is having surgery – but it's not as serious as reports suggest, according to her rep.

So Fark linked to this video of Rayturd shucking corn, along with an orgasmic look.

Well folks the verdict is on on Sunny Anderson as the colored Rachael Ray.  How I came to this conclusion?  Well I was watching Sunny one Sunday morning and my friend Simon came into the room and exclaimed "What has happened to Rachael Ray?  Why does her coloring look so different?   I explained to him and told him that person is Sunny Anderson and he declared she is the black Rachael Ray.  Fast forward to this week, I sat watching Sunny Anderson and my little friend Jesse came down to look for me and looked at the telly and declared "Deese, you are watching Rachael rayyyyyyyyyyy!  I had to tell her it was not Rachael and then she said well it looks like Rachael Ray and this child is three and a half.  Sunny Anderson my dear people is very Rachael Ray like from her horrible weave to her huge hips to some of the recipes she tries to recreate.  I am not saying I do not like her because I do, but someone needs to whisper in her ears, "Hey Sunny, we do not need another Rachael Ray, one is enough".  Break that mold someone!  Don't attack the messenger..........
