By Bob Sassone No, the next Food Network star isn't going to be Rachael Ray. She already has several shows on the network. "Rachael Ray" was the title of last night's episode, as the remaining contestants had to go on her show and do a team cooking presentation.

By Richard Keller The enormously chipper Ray, who is all over television and the print media these days, has just signed on for another two years at Food Network. In addition to her very popular 30 Minute Meals program (60 episodes per year, as opposed to a previous 80 per year) Ray will host a new program title...

By Bob Sassone No, she didn't steal money or electronics or even heads of lettuce. She stole a person! Rachael Ray's Every Day With Rachael Ray magazine has named a new publisher, and it just so happens to be the old publisher of Everyday Food, one of the magazines in Martha Stewart's vast empire.

By Bob Sassone Actress Valerie Bertinelli is joining Rachael Ray. She'll be a celebrity content buddy, doing stories about food and family and being a working mom.

By Adam Finley TMZ reports that back in 2005, a drunken Rachael Ray made some ugly remarks about Oprah, the woman who helped launch Ray into the spotlight. Then again, Ray may have done no such thing. That's pretty much the gist of the article. Careful readers will note that none of the sources are named, so I g...

By Richard Keller It's no secret that the hyperactive Rachael Ray has her hands in a little bit of everything. She has a number of hit shows on the Food Network, a daily talk show, numerous cookbooks, her own magazine, and a upcoming CD of holiday music (not sung by her, just chosen by her). Now, she is taking her o...

By Bob Sassone Today Rachael said at the start of the episode that it was "going to be a very loud show." As opposed to which episodes? She has a certain, um, energy? If you don't like someone who never stops and they scream and they jump up and down and race from one end of the kitchen, saying things like "Yum!"...

By Joel Keller So... she's got a magazine. Three Food TV shows. Cookbooks. A syndicated talk show. A soundtrack album. And now she's going to be a fast-food mogul.

The survey was meant to find out a star's "Q" score, which is industry jargon for how appealing a TV p...

By Bob Sassone Is she annoying? God, I can imagine her being annoying to many people, even her target audience. I mean, I've never had a problem with her, though maybe that was because I always saw her in small doses. But now she has several shows on Food Network, her own daily syndicated show, and her own maga...
