We’ve heard of one person waiting in line at Borders for five hours for a glimpse of Amy Sedaris the other week. And while we wouldn’t dare question Sedaris’ national notoriety, we’re going to step out on a limb and say that it probably doesn’t compare to Rachael Ray’s. With that in mind, you may want to leave the house a couple (8) hours early for Ray’s book signing at Borders tomorrow.
We turned our backs on Ray for a minute earlier this year, and now she’s got a magazine, a talk show, an airline, a few Pizza Hut franchises and a small country. Though folks have questioned her culinary training, and her voice has been known to cause seizures in laboratory mice, you have to respect the woman’s (or her agent’s) business savvy. She’s building an empire and the latest piece of it is her book Rachael Ray 2, 4, 6, 8: Great Meals for Couples or Crowds.
She’ll be signing copies tomorrow, Friday, Dec. 15 at 5:00 p.m. at Borders Books, 830 N. Michigan Ave. Phone: (312) 573-0564.

Oh, I hope she brings plenty of "sammies"! And drizzles them with plenty of "E.V.O.O."!! That would SOOOO be "yummers"!!!
(kill me now...)
Yeah, she's cute, but that's about it. She's annoying as hell as a TV personality, and the food she 'cooks' on her show is Reader's Digest style crap.
I saw about 3 minutes of her daytime talk show a few weeks back when i was home sick, and it actually made me sicker.
But she is sorta cute. I don't like the frosted hair thing, though.
I've said it before and I will say it again. RR is like a car accident. You don't want to look, but you can't help yourself...
I used to have to kind of work with her from time to time at my old job, and I'll say she actually is pretty nice. I had never seen her show at the time though, so the only things that really registered were, "Man, is she small. But her mouth is huge. And she's kind of orange. But boy is she super-friendly!"
I used to be a total Food Network addict, but giving her like thirty-one hours (therabouts) of airtime a day, plus the current annointing of her as the next Oprah makes my wittle head hurt.
Oh, and Amazon (for whatever reason) recommended her Christmas CD (!) to me. That made me want to vomit in terror.

"her voice has been known to cause seizures in laboratory mice"
hahaahahah
I think her hands are scary. There's something wrong with them. They're like...alien hands.
I read this article in the NY Times a while back and thought it was pretty interesting too. Pretty honest account of what she's about. It portrays her as a cutthroat business woman too.
"Vomit in Terror" I love it.
She's like muppet. Huge mouth, huge head, funny voice.
All I know is that she's got some junk in that trunk. You'd figure she'd have gotten a boob job to compliment her thickness below the waist.
What's funny is the amount of airtime this lady gets despite the unabated hatred of her you see on the internets. She must be doing something right.
i always thought it was weird how you could totally see her bra in the photo accompanying that NYT article
I don't have a problem with her, and only see her show when I'm flipping channels. She certainly could use a little help with her wardrobe. Many of the things she wears don't fit her body correctly. And BTW, alien hands are cool!
Alien hands are cool. RR's are venturing toward Roz Varon "man-hands" territory.
I have a kickass jambalaya recipe that's straight from "30 Minute Meals", so Rachael Ray will always have a special place in my heart. Plus, her FHM spread was a frickin' riot.
Rachael Ray gets even cooler if you think of her as Marlon Brando in "The Island of Dr. Moreau".

"How cool is that!!!?"
God is she annoying. She makes me never want to stop eating then shoot myself.
Ditto annoying. Unbelievable annoying. And no more attractive than your basic over-self-involved porn star.
Man...those are the best kinds of porn stars.
"Man, is she small. But her mouth is huge. And she's kind of orange. But boy is she super-friendly!"
Tankboy is right. I chatted her up in the cocktail lounge of the Marriott on Michigan Ave. and wound up sleeping with her.
He's not kidding about the "orange."
"Vomit in terror"
LMAO!
And all the time I thought she was being called "perky." I didn't realize the word was "porky."
