Rachel Ray

Okay, does anyone else have the strange compulsion to watch and or buy anything Rachel Ray? I seriously think that she has some alien power over us! Either that, or somehow we were all hypnotized and her coined terms, "Yum-o" or "EVOO" put us all into a trance and we just can't turn away from the screen. How else do you explain the Rachel Ray phenomenom?

The woman is completely obnoxious, yet she has 5 TV shows - Rachel Ray, 30-Minute Meals, Tasty Travels, $40 a Day and Inside Dish, she has written countless cookbooks (one of which I own), she has her own magazine - Everyday with Rachel Ray, she has her own line of cookware (I have her Furi knife, which I totally love), she even has her own brand of olive oil, stock and dog food of all things! Thank GOD her ads with Dunkin Donuts and Nabisco are over...I don't know if I could handle it!








According to BloggingStocks, Ray's estimated worth is upwards of $100 million. $100 MILLION! That is just plain insanity! But I guess all the whoring herself out seems to be paying off. I mean, I think she currently has more jobs than Ryan Seacrest and those are some heavy loafers to fill (note the cleaver pun).

My last thought on Mrs. Ray...does anyone else want her to stop fighting it and just get fat already? God bless her for trying, but enough is enough! She always seems to be on the loosing end of her battle with the bulge and I think she would be much happier if she just let nature take its course. I can absolutely relate to her struggle, but I eat salad for God's sake! And reduced fat condiments! Come on now Rach - you are never going to be Gidada De Laurentiis. And now with the Food Network expanding its programing to include healthy option shows hosted by even more skinny bitches (ie: Ask Aida and Healthy Appetite with Ellie Krieger) how can you compete? I say, join the likes of Paula Dean and Ina Gardner and eat all the damn pasta you want sista!
